Forbes Café, a small café within Forbes College that sells beverages and snacks, reopened on Sunday.
The café was being refurbished over the first couple weeks of school, manager Chanyoung Park ’17 said.
Park was appointed manager of the café last fall.
Park explained that the café was originally built two years ago and became a functional café starting last year. She said that the café needed redecorating because the decorations fell down over the summer.
The café, located across the main entrance of Forbes dining hall, is open from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. every day, Park said. Food options include baked goods, hot chocolate, coffee, tea and snacks, she added, and all options are under two dollars.
One big change,Parknoted, is the café’s new espresso machine that makes espressos and lattes from Small World Coffee beans.
Students said that the café offers an affordable, relaxing space for them to study and socialize.
The prices in Forbes Café are a lot more affordablethan prices at other food locations on campus, including Wawa and Frist Campus Center, Sri Nimmagadda ’18 said.
“Forbes Café feels a lot more homey; the aesthetics are enhanced with more decorations,” Nimmagadda said. “I really missed the café, so I’m glad it’s back.”
Jenny Kaufmann ’19 said that the café is much closer to where she lives in Forbes than the Wawa and that she would probably go to the café about two times a week.
Park also said that as a new addition, Forbes Café owns its own set of mugs, each with the “Forbes Café” logo.
Park said thecafé is now decorated in every corner with records, record covers and lights, creating an atmosphere in which students can socialize or study over a warm beverage.
Maha Al Fahim ’19 said that although she wished that there were more food options, she likes relaxing and enjoying the café’s atmosphere.
“I’m really happy that they reopened the café because it’s not only a nice place to study, but it’s also a great place to socialize and get free hot chocolate and tea,” Fahim said.
Park said she hopes the new changes made to the café will attract more students to stop by and enjoy everything it offers.
