Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

I literally blinked through Alfred the first time I came; however, dining options are surprisingly varied in this small town. The Collegiate Restaurant (“the Jet” for short) is only open until 8 p.m., but feels like an all-night diner. Nana’s eatery serves Japanese delights for an American palette. They serve a different bento lunch for every day of the week, specially made by Nanako herself. Café Za offers the taste of expensive New York dining for a fraction of the cost, and it serves personal pan pizzas until midnight. Since there’s not much else to do in Alfred, students take a great deal of time and pleasure in eating.

Food Near Alfred

Alfred is a very small town, there is one restaurant, a coffee house, a pizza place and a japanese cafe on main street. But if you're looking for something more, you'll have to drive at least twenty minutes out of Alfred.

Not a Whole Lot, but It's All Delicious

It's a very small school, in a very small town. So the choices are very limited, but I suppose that just means that each place has to try harder to get students to come in, instead of driving to the next town over. I have never had an iced chai latte quite like the one at Terracotta, and nothing can beat the soba noodles in Nana's Japanese cafe, who has a board with advertisements in the restaurant. The best one was her offering to teach Japanese. The Jet is the go to place when you have your parents over. I'm not flush with cash, being in college, but I can eat at any one of these, and what makes it better is that everything is within a five minute walk.

From Los Angeles to Alfred

Coming from Los Angeles I'm accustomed to dining at amazing restaurants. I love food international cuisines are my favorite. Alfred extremely lacks places to eat. You really have to hunt down if you want anything fancy and even then you have to drive miles away.
