The new CCA Makers Cafe is designed to accommodate the wide-ranging needs of our diverse campus community. Bon Appétit is recognized as an industry leader in environmentally and socially responsible practices, and for cooking made-from-scratch menu items with seasonal ingredients from local food growers. Students, Staff and Faculty enjoy seasonal menus and daily specials made with local and organic ingredients when possible, made-to-order hot and cold items, coffee and convenience items.

Welcome

Our story is simple. It’s about food – great food. Everything we believe and everything we do is based on creating great food, produced in a socially responsible manner with regional and seasonal products grown by local farmers and artisans. We cook from scratch using fresh, authentic ingredients. We make our food alive with flavor and nutrition.

Meal Plans

On Campus residents participate in a meal plan to dine on daily specials made with local and organic ingredients, made-to-order hot and cold items, and fresh coffee and espresso from a full-service counter.

Makers Cafe Events

Makers Café as a prime location for student use and engagement. Whether it be student activities, co curricular programs, or events that student groups are seeking alternative space for on campus–Makers Cafe aims to become a space for residential and commuter students alike to connect by breaking bread and to feel like they have a place outside of their dorms, studios, or classrooms at CCA. There is also the option to have events catered in Makers Café to promote our exciting dining program or take advantage of our fresh new daily specials using students meal plans. 

Makers Café serves as a community hub for all Residential Life programming, activities, as well as campus meetings and events. When it is not utilized by the student community, it may also be scheduled for CCA mission-related events, reserved through Auxiliary Services. 

We look forward to assisting the CCA community/students with their events at Makers Café!

Event Requests can be submitted using the Makers Cafe Event Request Form. Please be sure to review the Makers Cafe Facility Use Policy and Guidelines document as well.

(Please note that Makers Café is not intended to serve as a private event space nor is it available for installations)
