It’s a new year, a new you, and a new UCC. For those sick of Pierce already, UCC dining is back with a new selection of culinary concepts and operating hours for the Fall 2023 semester.
For the first time, students can try out the UCC Marketplace’s new concept, Fantastic Flats, which features sweet and savory open-faced bagel creations paired with loaded tater tots. If you’re craving something more familiar, two of the UCC’s fan-favorite dining destinations—Piccola Italia and Grill Nation—are back this semester. For a quick Italian experience, Piccola Italia returns with its menu of pizza, calzones, salads, sandwiches, and more. If you’re seeking something more customizable, you may be glad to hear that Grill Nation has you covered once again this semester with its signature burger menu.
Too much on your plate? Beware that the UCC’s Sono has been replaced. Instead, you can curb your craving for Latin American-inspired cuisine with Tu Taco, Stevens’ new spot for Mexican food, including tacos, burritos, quesadillas, and salads.
Now to spice things up; one significant change to UCC dining this semester was the removal of the Halal Stall as a permanent station and its incorporation into the marketplace’s “Rotate Concept.” Be on the lookout for destinations such as Halal Stall, Smoked, Brodo Bowls, and Chopped, which will be rotating every three weeks.
Still hungry for dessert? Be on the lookout for the Cannon Cafe’s new hours. Starting this fall, the UCC Harries’ self-described “one-stop-shop” for late-night indulgences (including the Sweet Shoppe, Premium Coffee Shoppe, and Stevens Convenience Store) will no longer be open until midnight — its new hours of operation are from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Don’t worry though; the Cannon Cafe still features its signature selection of treats, including Lavazza coffee, breakfast items, paninis, donuts, ice cream, and other convenient snacks and essentials.
If reading this made you as hungry as I am writing this, check your Grubhub app to see which UCC destination may quell your hunger. The UCC’s new selection awaits you — as long as it’s not after midnight.
