Before you head over
Practical tips for planning your visit to Wordsmiths Cafe
Opt for outdoor seating to avoid indoor noise
The indoor dining room can get loud and cramped during peak campus hours; try securing an outdoor table for a calmer atmosphere.
Keep an eye on your lunch when dining outside
While the open-air patio offers a pleasant break, be prepared to guard your food against local birds looking for a snack.
Time your visit to avoid the food court feel
Indoor tables can feel cramped and noisy when crowded; schedule your visit outside central lunch rushes to enjoy an unhurried break.
