The best part of waking up might be some more coffee in your cup.
And some breakfast.
The Coffee X Spot has extended its hours to include Saturdays from 7:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and expanded its menu.
“The hours are awesome,” said Leslie Elston, junior music education major. “I live on campus so it’s good to have another option of where to eat.”
Quentin Myers, senior social science major, agreed.
“I think having Saturday hours is a good idea, especially because of the students who have Saturday classes,” he said. “Now they have somewhere to go eat before or after their classes instead of starving all day.”
New menu choices include a chai latte, coffee cake and breakfast burritos. According to the Coffee X Spot newsletter, egg and cheese burritos with either sausage or bacon are $2. As with all items, non-pork eaters can substitute turkey or beef.
Free samples of new items are available in miniature cups. If the items are received well, the café will keep the new items on the menu.
“Every week there will be a new sample,” said Sheretta Davis, manager. “It’s all about the students, faculty and staff. We want suggestions and comments. If the new item works out well it will be added to the menu. This includes drink suggestions.”
Another new offering is meat on salad. For $1, customers may add chicken, shrimp or turkey. Turkey sandwiches are also a new item.
“I’ve been very excited to see turkey sandwiches on the menu. I don’t do chicken or shrimp,” said Janna McKinley, senior music performance major. “Seeing an expanded menu has been very good. I spend a lot of time in the café because the music building is right across the street. Actually, a lot of the music majors hang out here almost every day.”
“The menu is growing and all because of you, our wonderful customers and friends,” said owners Griffin and Veronica Richards in a press release.
The café’s weekday hours are 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. For information on holding a meeting, class or event at the Coffee X Spot, call 817-531-7177.
