New eats on campus

SAIT Polytechnic has expanded meal options for students. Last fall, Tim Horton’s opened its first campus location. I was really excited by this as I have a weakness for carbs, especially when they are in the form of yummy donuts.

Tim Horton’s joined our other culinary outlets; Starbucks, 4 Nines Dining Centre, the Chartwells locations, The Gateway, and The Odyssey. SAIT has something to whet everyone’s appetite.

Our Starbucks is conveniently located on the main floor of the residence tower. I should also mention, it is a real Starbucks, with all the great coffees and desserts you enjoy. I have a dislike for fake Starbucks, because they get my hopes up but it is never quite right.

If you are looking for free-trade coffee and delicious sandwiches, The Odyssey is for you. This student-run establishment is located in Campus Centre, and showcases some amazing art, created by students at Alberta College of Art and Design.

4 Nines has awesome meals for students. What is cool about 4 Nines is the meals are prepared by students in our Professional Cooking program. Our deli and bakery, The Market Place, provides delicious baked goods and cuts of meat at a super price. I have impressed my mom with baking I have picked up there.

For students who are not into meal preparation, Chartwells provides a variety of meal plans for students. Check out the options here.

The Gateway Restaurant and Bar is also located in Campus Centre, and has good food, fast service and low prices. It is a great place to see a band, hang out with friends or grab a quick bite. I recommend the deep fried macaroni. So good!

Finally, for those of you looking to save some money and cook for yourselves, SAIT has a Sobey’s on campus, located right in the residence building!





Happy dining,

I also want to give a quick plug for our Facebook page. I am always updating new things happening at SAIT, be sure to check it out. I have posted a picture of myself updating our Facebook page. This picture was recently used for an article on social networking.
