Bellarmine offers a wide range of dining options on campus with various hours and locations, so finding something to eat isn’t much of a challenge – but the staples of campus dining all offer something different.
Bellarmine communication major Cheyenne Grogean shares her top three dining options on campus.
Einstein’s Bros Bagels
Tucked into the corner of Centro’s entrance, it's hard to miss the bubble of students circling Einstein’s; the meal swipe options and proximity to the lecture halls make it a popular lunch spot, and their coffees and pastries are always my go-to for a snack between classes (the caramel cold brew always comes in clutch). Einstein’s is always busy, but the ladies behind the counter can get through a rush of students impressively unfazed.
Catie’s Café
This might be controversial, but Catie’s Café is an underrated campus dining option. It has a small Starbucks inside and a range of snacks, premade meals, and random essentials like toothpaste. The best part about Catie’s is the convenience—it’s close to the residence halls and open until 10 p.m., ideal for late-night studying.
University Dining Hall
Sprawling the ground floor of Frazier Hall, the University Dining Hall is kind of the head honcho of Bellarmine’s campus dining. There are endless weekday lunch and dinner options, but the brunch served on weekends is peak UDH. The open space and buffet-style dining encapsulate the “college experience.”
If you need to put a dent in your meal plan before the semester ends, these are the places to go!
