Read moreSince 2004, ACRE Real School Lunch has been cooking everything from scratch using only the best ingredients. Each day we serve over 2,500 delicious organic meals. Our successful lunch program promotes an optimistic outlook within the school, fosters community, and nurtures the individual. We define our success by the many happy faces we see in the lunchroom!
It started In 1990 with the opening of The Slow Club, our first restaurant—named by Michael Bauer, renowned Bay Area food critic, as one of the top most important Bay Area restaurants of the last 30 years. We focused on outstanding cooking and the use of fresh, local, and seasonal ingredients. Customers loved it. We learned that doing things better makes a big difference.
We went on to create and manage many on-site restaurants and concessions in business centers including The San Francisco Film Center and The Exploratorium.
In 2004, while operating Acre Café in The Thoreau Center For Sustainability (Presidio), we were asked to be the food service provider at The Bay School of San Francisco. We added Cathedral School for Boys (2006-2024), Town School for Boys (2009), Katherine Delmar Burke School (2011 - 2023), The Hamlin School (2017 - 2022), Convent & Stuart Hall (2023), and Cypress School of San Francisco (2025).
