Our Baking and Pastry Arts students are pleased to offer unique Café Concept Meal Kits for sale as part of their third-semester lab exams. In teams of two, students have created unique and specially designed menus to showcase all the skills they have acquired to date and based on a café concept of their own.

This is an excellent value — only $25 per meal kit — and a perfect way to support our hard-working students!

Every Café Concept Meal Kit contains:

• A full-size loaf of bread
• A jarred preserve
• A two or three-component main course meal with sides (One portion)
• A Viennoiserie product (specialty croissant or similar)
• A dessert element

Details for all menus are below.

Please note: These menus are only available for pick-up on Tuesday, October 8, between 11:30 am and 12:15 pm. Only two orders are available for each menu option — order your favourites as soon as possible!
