    Food is good. They always have kind people working and are patient when making your meal. There are always little snacks like cookies, ice cream and etc.

    Elms has made their food and dining plan affordable and easy. They have set up a new program which includes all you can eat meals. Upon entering the cafeteria, the student is required to scan an ID card given to them at the beginning of the year. This grants you unlimited access to the cafe for the rest of that meal period, be it breakfast, lunch, or dinner. You can purchase a bundle of scan points or there is now also an unlimited option. These points also come with guest passes and coffee cafe dollars. As far as taste and selectivity of the food I am extremely pleased and wouldn't change a thing. ElmÃ?Â?s cafeteria features a grill, salad, sandwich, soup, and home style dining section every day. Additionally, they have meals featuring different ethnicites such as a Japanese sushi day and Indian cuisine day. They also include free events such as midnight pancakes during finals week and ice cream socials.

    I ate most from the cafe and the hot cocoa is delicious!! It can get a tad expensive though. The inside cafe has quite a lot of food variety and I had a good experience everytime I ate there. On fridays they have a $5 all you can eat for during lunch time so it's beneficial to us poorer students.
