STOP 7: Food & Beverages

Spend enough time on campus and you’re going to build up an appetite. Panda House, our food service company, offers refreshments at four different locations on campus. Even if you have special dietary restrictions, Panda House offers nutritional food to meet your needs.

The Beach Café, our full service cafeteria, located on the first floor of the U-Building (near the bookstore), offers hot entrees daily; plus a selection of soups, a sandwich bar, a grill, a pizza station and a full service salad bar. In addition Kosher and Halal selections are available daily along with sushi and vegetarian options. The Beach Café dining hall provides an excellent view of Jamaica Bay and is adjacent to our beach patio.

If specialty coffees are more to your liking, stop by Kingsbrew serving Starbucks coffee (located on the first floor of the MAC building). Along with coffee, Kingsbrew offers sandwiches and snacks. While at Kingsbrew, be sure to stop by and check out our shark tank.

The Mac Cafe is our satellite cafeteria on the 2nd floor in the Mac building and provides breakfast and lunch options (Monday through Thursday). And T2Go is our “grab and go” counter located in the T2 Building near the campus farm.

Having a nutritionally sound diet is important for learning. Whatever are your dietary needs, there are numerous options. In addition to the four Panda House locations, you will find many vending machines on campus which not only sell snacks, and beverages but also offer healthy options such as salads and sandwiches and are a good choice when the cafeteria is closed.
