Whether you’re in the mood for a coffee between classes, a late-night snack, nutritious meal on the go or a sit-down dinner, UW-L Dining Services can serve it up. Dining services has a variety of dining locations, carry-out stores and coffee shops across campus, including a new location in Centennial Hall.

Starbucks opens Monday, Sept. 24, in Centennial Hall first floor lobby next to the Hall of Nations, serving a full line of Starbucks products. Students who crave a hearty breakfast into the afternoon and evening hours, can stop in the Flying Star Diner in Whitney Center. Cooks serving up omelets, scrambled eggs and other breakfast and grill choices until 7:30 p.m. Some of the most popular meal choices among students are sub sandwiches, salads and stir fry, says Nori Yamashita, general manager. But classic hamburgers, fries and chicken tenders are also tried and true.
