Savor, the new Modern American restaurant that opened this month at Pearl, is also now home to The Culinary Institute of America’s annual pop-up CIA Bakery Café. Under the direction of CIA faculty, students will be preparing and serving breakfast and lunch for the public with dine-in and takeout options. (CIA Bakery Café, 2019)

CIA Bakery Café is open from January to April. Students in the college’s Baking and Pastry Arts major have the opportunity to showcase their skills in a real-world retail bakery and sit-down restaurant. For breakfast and lunch on weekdays, Savor will transform into a café serving a range of fresh dishes. Morning offerings include fresh pressed coffee with a nitro brew and pastries like alfajores, traditional shortbread cookies with a dulce de leche filling, popular throughout Latin America. The breakfast menu includes items like Sylvia’s Brioche French Toast with macerated berries and whipped crème fraiche or a Pressed Egg Sandwich with spinach, mushroom, prosciutto and gruyere. Lunch will include homemade soup, salad and sandwiches such as the Fried Chicken Cubano with crisp chicken, gruyere, Dijon and sour pickles plus Chicken and Dumplings, potato gnocchi with porcini mushroom ragu.
