What it is

Library Café is a coffee & light bites located in Halvorsen Library, ground floor.

Hours

Early morning through late evening on weekdays; shorter weekend hours. The dining app shows live hours for every location, since they shift around exam weeks, breaks, and university holidays — check it before a special-occasion trip.

What's on the menu

Coffee and espresso drinks, pastries, grab-and-go sandwiches and salads, and snacks.

How to pay

  • Campus Cash (tax-free on food)
  • Card or phone

Dietary accommodations

A gluten-free pastry case option is stocked daily; ask staff for current allergen information on rotating items.

Good to know

Seating here is shared with the library's ground-floor study tables, so it is one of the few campus food spots where lingering with a laptop for a couple of hours is the norm rather than the exception.

Common questions

Can I use a meal swipe here? No — this location takes Campus Cash, a card, or your phone, but not a meal-plan swipe.

What if I have a severe allergy? Ask any staff member for the current allergen binder, or contact the campus dietitian through dining dietary accommodations to set up a standing plan before you rely on any single location.

Fictional information

UW–Porter Falls is a work of parody. Library Café, its hours, menu, and every detail on this page are invented; nothing here describes a real place you can actually visit.
