CrossRoads Café in the Wilbur Cross building has a unique menu; offering plant-forward options that will satisfy meat-eaters, vegetarians, and vegans alike. Our goal is to serve "Healthy, wholesome cuisine that nourishes the body, feeds the soul, and helps the planet."

In addition to making plant-based options more obtainable within the UConn community, we also strive to educate and spread awareness on the importance of sustainability. Through student leadership, the Crossroads Events Management Committee will coordinate and host events on a range of topics relating to the plant-forward movement. Such areas include sustainable farming, alternative proteins, nutritional topics, etc. -- If you are interested in joining us please reach out to crossroadseventsmanagement@gmail.com -- For press inquiries about CrossRoads please reach out to DDSmarketing@uconn.edu.
