Eateries

Kind Café – Local art, paninis and fresh-roasted organic coffee — it's the coffeehouse of every campus' dreams.

Campus Candlelight Café…but nobody calls it that — it's the bagel shop and the best late-night option for a snack downtown.

Irene's – The newest addition to the Market Street experience and the classiest place for that special Valentine's date.

Selin's Grove Brew Pub – A frequent hang out among upperclassmen students — good brews, good eats, and good friends — don't pass up the “Brewery bread”!

BJ's Steak and Ribs...and sandwiches and salads too! The Bongo-Bongo Dip is a must-have and make sure to form a team for trivia night. Even if you don't win, there are prizes for best team name!
