Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Most students would probably agree that if the food in Baker were as pleasant as the people who serve it, they’d all be better off. However, most also recognize that a cafeteria is a cafeteria, and while it gets old pretty quickly, there’s enough variety and sheer quantity of food to satisfy anyone’s appetite when they actually find something they like. Muddy Run is considered the main escape route for anyone who’s just not up to what Baker has on the menu for the day.

One bonus is Baker’s vegan line. The dining hall is also centrally located in Ellis Hall, and Muddy Run is right upstairs. However the main cafeteria is only open for certain mealtime hours, with Muddy picking up the slack for students who need to eat on a different schedule or grab something on the run. And while in general, the upper the classman, the smaller the meal plan—for a reason, they’re all sick of it—one place that everyone stops at is Jitters, the campus coffee shop. Different meal plans come with Declining Credit Balances (DCB) that students can spend on snacks and drinks in Muddy, Jitters, or the new Café a la Carte in Brumbaugh. DCB carries over from fall to spring semester, but not to the following year. If you’re trying to hang on to your DCB dollars, Jitters is going to be your number one nemesis.

I Don't Know If I Want to Eat That?

A lot of the food tastes good but is very bad for you. Many times the quality is very low (tasty, but unhealthy). They have either a grab and go type of food located above the main cafeteria or the main cafeteria which is much like a buffet. There is a great salad bar and the cafeteria also provides you with many different types of meals, but they always have pizza and this gets repetitive. Many people dislike the cafeteria's food but eat it anyway because it's a place to see many friends and be social.

don't listen to the complaints

Though many students complain about Baker, Juniata's college cafeteria, I believe that there is a good range of choices available for students. There is a wok for those who want to stirfry their own vegetables and many readymade food lines featuring different choices.

In addition, you can get meal exchange if you're busy at many of the academic buildiings, and Muddy is an alternative to Baker where you can get subs, salads, chinese food, and mexican food.

Food

Everyone complains about Baker, and there is a reason for that. However, they have been rapidly improving, especially their vegetarian options. As a vegetarian, I initially struggled greatly to find things to eat at Baker, but the Wok this Way line (a personal favorite), the LOVE (Local Organic Vegetarian Ethical) line, and brand new Vegan line have opened up many great new options. Eagles Landing upstairs has decent food, although the options there are very limited and may get old after a while. So while food here isn't great, it isn't as bad as people say.
