The Caf

There is only one cafeteria but it is open all day. The quality of food and choices has increased each year I've been here. The focus on healthy and local food is starting to grow and the vegetarian options have been improving.

We also have the Courtyard Cafe which sells coffee drinks and snacks. A great place to grab coffee and some good yogurt in the afternoon or late at night.
