Bevier Cafe: Staffed and Managed by Food Science and Human Nutrition Students

Food is a large part of my life.  When looking at me, you would never guess this but I'll be the first to admit I eat way  more than I should! I enjoy trying a variety of foods such as Asian, Mexican, Italian, and many others.  Something else I like is a small-town restaurant or cafe.  I am from a smaller town and like the feeling of everyone knowing each other, especially when you eat dinner at the same cafe. The restaurant in my hometown has one long table that seats about 20 people.  Anyone can come and sit there to eat with other residents.  In my opinion, small town cafes have a comforting feel to them and also a unique taste to the food.

Moving to Urbana or Champaign you may have trouble finding that 'small-feel' cafe. However, I have found a cafe that reminds me of home-style food.  Bevier Cafe is located in Bevier Hall at the University of Illinois.  something unique about this cafe is it is staffed and managed by Food Science and Human Nutrtion (FSHN) students. The cafe serves as a lab to FSHN students as part of their curriculum. Although Bevier Cafe does not hae a large table like my hometown cafe, I still get the same feeling when eating there.  Something I think is neat about the cafe is the studetns chefs prepare the meals and do a tasting before the food is served.

Bevier Cafe is conveniently located, so it is a perfect spot to meet up with your friends to hang out or even study for an upcoming class.  The cafe offers different items each day and the menu can be found at www.beviercafe.illinois.edu.  Bevier Cafe offers Breakfast, Lunch, and 'After Hours' items.  If you have not checked out Bevier Cafe, I recommend you eat there!
