On Monday, January 15th, in the midst of all of the MLK Jr. Day celebrations and activities that will be happening on campus, a new take on an old favorite dining location will open its doors. The Rock Creek Cafe and Bakery, located on the first floor of campus center, will bring some new flavor to campus.
鈥淥ur inspiration for Rock Creek Cafe & Bakery was a Panera-type setting,鈥 Amanda Overy, Marketing Coordinator for Parkhurst Dining at 海外吃瓜, shared. 鈥淔or the 海外吃瓜 community and the surrounding community to sit down and enjoy a restaurant setting for lunch.鈥 Similar to cafes like Panera, Rock Creek will be serving artisan sandwiches, flatbreads, and salads. These offerings are similar to what made Rock Creek a popular dining location with our students during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Lest we forget, the 鈥渂akery鈥 portion of the title: dessert is on the menu! 鈥淐ereal-inspired cupcakes, and other desserts like edible cookie dough will be exclusively available at Rock Creek Cafe and Bakery,鈥 Amanda explained. Additionally, Parkhurst at 海外吃瓜 has a new partnership in Tractor Beverages, a company dedicated to sustainably producing organic juice and teas.
Be sure to stop by Rock Creek Cafe鈥檚 grand opening, on January 15th and grab lunch or dessert! The Rock Creek Cafe will be open from 11 AM to 4 PM on Mondays through Thursdays, and 11 AM to 2 PM on Fridays. They accept Berg Bucks, Flex dollars, cards and cash.
