Edmonds Community College Cafe

Okay, I’m biased. My friend was chef of the week and I knew the food was going to be awesome… and it was. The wait staff were also very helpful and accommodated this party of 7 quite well. We were able to grab 3 orders of crab cakes (gluten free) and almost everything else we wanted off the menu. Mind you, they make a point not to fix too much to avoid waste/​cost, so get there early cuz they might run out of what you had your taste buds lined up for. Between the 7 of us we ordered everything on the menu and everything was very good with a couple phenomenal entrees: steak cooked perfectly and a vegetarian (gluten free) cannelloni that was everything BUT boring. Everyone was so friendly and knowledgeable that the only thing that was a BUMBER was I had to leave early. PS The Pastry School is equally amazing. You almost forget that these guys are students. It’s nice to know that supporting your community doesn’t always have to be boring… Thank you ECCC for doing such a good job of educating and supporting people who LOVE food (on both sides of the table)!!!

May I just say how proud I am to be a student at Edmonds Community College? Well, the College Café is another reason for my pride. So, they do a breakfast on Tuesday and Thursday that is not only delicious, but an excellent bargain. I had the crepes with a blueberry strawberry compote and Chantilly Cream. The crêpe is prepared right in front of you by a student chef, and our chef was amazing — very friendly and also really an awesome cook. My wonderful crêpe was prepared with skill and only cost $ 2. In addition, they do an omelette that costs the same. I didn’t partake, but I am going to try it next time. In addition, they have a pastry case that is chock full of delicious treats like scones, breads, cookies and even truffles. This is an excellent deal for those of you who are on a budget and want some really great food!

Meh.
Food Service of America generic fried foods and tons of just… well, junk food. If you’re looking for healthy options you’re out of luck. And for a college that touts it’s green industry and sustainability programs, you wouldn’t know it looking at their café. Just a whole lot of fail going on there, even though the staff are great and friendly.
just makes me think that they are stuck working within handed down rules from the school to cut corners and do things on the cheap. Sadly, it shows. :/
