Earthfoods Cafe
From UMassWiki
Earthfoods Cafe is a student run cafe located in the Student Union next to the Student Union Ballroom and behind the Cape Cod Lounge. Earthfoods serves ovo-lacto vegetarian food with vegan options at economical prices during regular school sessions.
The cafe is a student-run business and RSO founded on April 12,1976 by a group of students concerned with the lack of economical, healthy food on campus. Today Earthfoods continues a not-for-profit student run business at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. The business is also environmentally concerned and aware of the benefits of circulating locally grown and organic food. Members of this collective have the opportunity to learn and participate in all aspects of running and managing a restaurant including, but not limited to, bookkeeping, ordering, inventory, cooking, serving, cashiering, and maintenance. Hiring is done every semester. The Earthfoods web site claims that well over 300 people a day are served.
Hours of Operation:
Monday - Thursday: 11AM-3PM
Friday: 11AM-2PM
Earthfoods opens the Monday after the first day of classes on a reduced schedule. Watch for signs posting adjustments to the schedule.
Accepted Payment:
Earthfoods accepts payments in cash, UCard funds and YCMP.
- Note: Residential meal plans come with a limited number of "flex swipes" that are accepted in Dining Services establishments like the Blue Wall and The Hatch. These are not YCMP, despite claims to the contrary. Student-run businesses like Earthfoods are not allowed to accept these as payment.*
