Campus SummaryTOP
Celebrating over 25 Years of Culinary Excellence
At California Culinary Academy, a tradition of excellence awaits you. Founded as one of the West’s first culinary arts schools, California Culinary Academy has been committed to providing the highest standard of culinary arts and personal chef training since 1977, giving the student unparalleled instruction in both classical and contemporary techniques as well as educating the senses. Today, we take our instruction one step further to offer hospitality and restaurant management training.


Our Unique Location

In addition to benefiting from the finest hospitality and culinary arts training program available today, the Academy student also profits from our unique location in San Francisco. As an Academy student, you’ll find San Francisco is much more than cable cars and spectacular views. The city boasts one of the largest concentrations of restaurants and hotels in the country, giving us a great pool of resources when handpicking our instructors and selecting establishments for externships. Plus, the surrounding Northern California valleys produce the finest ingredients for our future chefs, from fresh produce and free-range meats to exceptional wines and specialty cheeses.


Our Facilities

Historic California Hall, at 625 Polk Street in downtown San Francisco, is the nerve center of the Academy. We have lecture classrooms designed for wireless network access; professional production kitchens for hands-on culinary training; baking and pastry kitchens for learning the techniques for breads, pastries, cakes, and plated desserts; a confectionery for learning the art of chocolate and sugar work; Garde Manger kitchens; butcheries; demonstration kitchens; a unique Asian kitchen with built-in wok stations; a computer classroom with individual student workstations for learning industry software; and even a mixology lab and a gaming room to practice bar and casino operations. And if that’s not enough, we have on-campus public restaurants staffed by Academy students for that real-life training.
