Eat their homework: Making fresh croissants, pain chocolat, pretzel bread sandwiches, Vietnamese banh mi, muffaletta and steaming bowls of cioppino is all in a day’s schoolwork for students of the Culinary Institute of America at Greystone. Working towards their degrees, the toques-to-be manage the new Bakery Cafe, open for breakfast and lunch. With all dishes under $10, it’s a steal of a deal. Professors oversee their work, so you’ll never be saddled with anything less than straight-A work. Open Tuesday through Saturday from 10am to 5pm. 2555 Main Street, St. Helena.
