Cabrini offers various dining options around campus such as the Cavs Corner Dining Hall, Jazzman’s Cafe & Bakery, Sandella’s Flatbread Cafe and the RAC Grille.
Cavs Corner is the main dining hall where you can get breakfast, lunch and dinner. It’s an all-you-can-eat buffet style option with a sandwich station and a salad bar. You can always get a burger or a grilled cheese.
Jazzman’s has a selection of salads, sandwiches, soups, bagels and other baked goods and the all important caffeine fix, coffee.
Looking for wraps, paninis, pizza, burritos or quesadillas? Sandella’s is the place to eat.
The RAC is the place for the late night menu that is open seven days a week. Food offerings here include things like chicken tenders, fries, mozzarella sticks, cheese steaks and wraps.
The health-conscious-students had some strong opinions when asked what they thought of the food choices on campus.
Junior education major, Alyssa Garrison said, “I don’t eat at the Caf anymore because I don’t like not knowing what I’m putting in my body. I wish the food was healthier.”
Senior communication major Valerie Ruiz said, “Truthfully, I don’t like it. I think there should be healthier options. The RAC only has fried food and I wish there was more variety of healthier foods.”
“Jazzman’s is my favorite place to eat on campus because there are healthier options like salad and I like that they ask how much dressing to put on the salad,” Ruiz said.
Some students commented on how Cabrini stacks up to other colleges and universities in the dining department.
Junior education major Molly McDougall, said “Other colleges have good food like Villanova and West Chester and they’re much bigger schools, so there is no reason why our food shouldn’t be good.”
“I’ve been to other universities where they have so many options and I think Cabrini has the ability to do that, so I don’t know why they haven’t,” Ruiz said.
Comments regarding the quality of food choices at Cabrini were all in agreement.
McDougall said, “The food here is just poor quality and I feel as if it wouldn’t cost a lot of money to make the food better.”
Freshman criminology and sociology major Maggie Javitt said, “The quality of meat products in the Caf usually leaves a lot to be desired.”
“Jazzman’s and Sandella’s is good, but the caf is ok. The caf serves a lot of fish and sometimes there isn’t many choices that seem appealing, so I just end up getting a sandwich,” Javitt said.
McDougall also said, “They never take students opinions or suggestions on what the food should be.”
As far as the dining options at Cabrini go there was not a lot of positive feedback on the food choices in the Cavs Dining Hall or the RAC Grille. Your best bet appears to be Jazzman’s or Sandella’s, but it sounds like there is room for improvement in all of these establishments and the students would like to have their suggestions heard.
