Cafe Frisch was made possible by a generous gift from the Harry Frisch family and the Beaver Street Foundation.

Operated by students and staff in FSCJ’s Culinary Arts and Hospitality & Tourism Management programs, Café Frisch is a simulated restaurant environment designed to provide our students a hands-on learning experience while also showcasing their culinary and service talents to the community.

Please note that the café is not a traditional restaurant; it is an active class lab where the cooks and servers are participating in classes that satisfy part of their Culinary Arts and Hospitality & Tourism Management programs’ requirements. The price of lunch is $10 per person and $15 per person for dinner.  Gratuities are welcome and will be used to take our students in both the Dining Room Management Class and the International Cuisine Culinary Class on a class trip at the end of the semester. Major credit cards accepted.

While you may not bring your own wine to the café, we do sell wine by the glass to our guests who provide legal identification.

We will be open for lunch on Tuesdays and Thursdays for the Fall 2026 semester. Reservations may be made for 11:30 a.m.,11:45 a.m. and noon, depending on availability. We are also open for dinner on Tuesday and Thursday. Reservations may be made for 06:30 pm., 06:45pm. and 7:00pm. 

Notice: The Café Frisch is not a traditional restaurant. Instead, it is a class lab where our students in the Culinary Arts and Hospitality Management programs fulfill requirements of their college degrees and industry certificates. Reservations are limited and accepted no earlier than two weeks prior to your requested dates; priority is given to students and faculty of our programs.

Be aware that our reservation email is not monitored on a daily basis; it may be several days before you receive a response regarding your reservation requests.

Reservation requests are required and may be made by emailing: cafefrischreservations@fscj.edu. Indicate the number of people in your party, the date and time of your request, a telephone number where we can reach you in case there are any questions or changes. Additionally, let us know if any member of your party has any food concerns. While we will do our best to accommodate any food concerns, we may not be able to fully address specific allergies, etc. in our classroom.
