Apple Pie Bakery Café

A wonderful spot for breakfast or a light lunch. The cafe is located inside Roth Hall at the Culinary Institute of America. It is operated by the culinary students as part of their course. It is fully accessible and attached to a parking garage with an elevator. The cafe offers a variety of pastries as well as sandwiches, fresh fruit and other lighter fare. They also offer a full selection of specialty coffee drinks with all the alternative milks. You can take your food to go or have a seat in the dining area which looks out to a lovely courtyard garden with a fountain. You can also purchase whole cakes here that can be ordered in advance for special occasions.

What a fantastic place this is! A beautiful space, sort of Parisian cafe-like, with endless choices of pastries, breads, gorgeous cakes, small cakes and torts, and take-out sandwiches, salads, etc. We ate one breakfast there (pecan sticky bun AMAZING with 3/4 cup pecans on top!!; house-made English muffin breakfast sandwich with FOUR slices of bacon, breakfast burrito great), two lunches (Quiche was EXCELLENT, like custard, I don't know how they do it; beef short rib and melted cheese sandwich, yum; red curry coconut soup EXCELLENT, roll EXCELLENT). Student servers are so friendly, it will make you believe in this place. DON"T MISS.

Wow! Delicious foods, excellent service, no wait, no reservations. Loved it. Really loved their broccoli cheddar quiche, mini frech-press coffee. The desserts are incredible. Highly recommended place to visit on a whim.

I normally love coming here it's my once a month splurge with my fiance. we get different stuff to try each time. I was a little disappointed by the mac and cheese we got today, very dry and the crumbs on top were burnt. it's alright everyone got to learn everything else we got though was delicious

We decided to visit the CIA during the week, which is typically open to the public. While none of the main restaurants were open, we ended up choosing to grab a quick snack. We were pleasantly surprised when they had table service & dine-in, after ordering at the counter! All of our options were delicious, I thoroughly enjoyed the Croque Monsieur, plus the shrimp & grits! Staff was extremely kind and friendly during our experience - highly recommended!
