Coffee House

Building Description

The ASUCD Coffee House, or CoHo for short, is the largest student run "restaurant" in the United States. They do some ridiculous amount of transactions (around 7,000 customers) per day. If you're looking for delicious organic and fair trade coffee, the best stuff can be found at both coffee stations. It'll also be ground fresh since practically no one ever orders it. The Coffee House is home to a few microwaves you can use to heat your food up. As the name would imply, the ASUCD Coffee House is run by ASUCD rather than Sodexho. Being run by ASUCD, it is technically a non-profit restaurant, so at the end of the year any extra money goes back into the ASUCD coffers to fund other student services. You cannot pay with your Reg Card at the CoHo.

The Coffee House offers bagels, coffee, deli sandwiches, a salad bar, baked potatoes, and pho.

History

The Coffee House was established in 1967 by the Associated Students of the University of California at Davis. Originally located in East Hall, it was founded with the concept of creating a small coffee shop that would provide high quality food and offer an environment where students could relax between classes.
In 1973 the Coffee House changed location to the East side of the Memorial Union, where it was run entirely by students with only $75,000 in sales per year.
As part of a general MU expansion plan, it moved again in the spring of 1991, this time to the West Side of the MU, where it happily prospers today.
