Option 1: Rendezvous
Hours: Monday-Friday; 7:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m.
What you can get: Daily Latin Specialities that range from breakfast burritos to english muffin sandwiches to bagel sandwiches, Asian Entrées that include potstickers and bao buns, assorted pastries, cereal, bagels, oatmeal, fruit cups, or yogurt parfait cups. All items are served with a fruit and a drink.
Pros: Tater Tots, enough said.
Cons: Unless you live in Hedrick, be prepared to climb some stairs.
If you’re craving something warm or enjoy big breakfasts, Rendezvous is the perfect option for you. For one swipe, you are able to get a lot of food.

Option 2: B-Café
Hours: Monday-Friday; 7:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m.
What you can get: Assorted boxed cereals, croissants, oatmeal, yogurt, or fruit cups served with a drink and a fruit; specialty coffee with a pastry
Pros: conveniently located, specialty coffees served
Cons: limited options, usually a line
B-Café serves breakfast items typically found at a continental breakfast buffet and is pretty basic; however, the major reason to come here is if you are craving a specialty coffee or tea beverage.
Option 3: B-Plate Grab n’ Go
Hours: Monday-Friday; 7:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m.
What you can get: Daily smoothies, parfaits, and seasonal fruit cups all served with a drink. Sample menu items include peanut butter banana oat smoothie, kale and kiwi smoothie, and raspberry, banana, coconut & freekah parfait
Pros: Healthier options, kale smoothies, not your average breakfast items
Cons: You won’t find bacon, eggs, or bagels here
This is my go to option. In under three minutes, I’m able to get a delicious smoothie or parfait that leaves me satisfied until lunch. Don’t be scared by ingredients you have never heard of or are weary of; just try it.

Option 4: De Neve On-the-Go
Hours: Monday-Friday; 7:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m.
What you can get: Assorted cereals, oatmeal cups, yogurt cups, muffins, and pastries served with a drink and a fruit
Pros: super fast
Cons: limited options
Like B-Café, this option is great if you want a light, basic breakfast to start your day. The selections here are pretty standard so don’t come here expecting to try something new.
Do yourself a favor and grab some breakfast!
