South Seatle College Culinary program provides the building blocks of inspiration and innovation; you will meet our graduates at some of your favorite restaurants, cafes, bakeries and neighborhood food trucks.

In 2020, we launched a 3-phase culinary campaign because as the culinary industry evolves, we also innovate and adapt.

First, we updated the Café Alki, an all-electric, state-of -the-art carbon neutral coffee house where students gain real-world culinary and hospitality experiences.

This spring, we opened our brand-new Research and Development Kitchen- a powerhouse of gastronomic exploration- complete with a built-in recording studio to live-stream classes, cooking demonstrations, and even capture the excitement of future culinary competitions.

Now, it’s time to create a space for students to immerse themselves in a first class, commercial kitchen, one that mirrors what working chefs experience each and every day. More than just a classroom, this is a dynamic laboratory where students learn, experiment, collaborate, and push the boundaries of what’s possible in the kitchen, just like the chefs you admire on your favorite cooking shows. The kitchen will be outfitted with state-of-the art energy-efficient electric technology.

We invite you to invest in this adventure.
