The Coffee House

This will start the winter quarter with limited operations (including Friday closures), the same as fall quarter. But not for long.

鈥淲e are expecting an influx of approximately 130 new student staff in early January,鈥 said Darin Schluep, CoHo director. 鈥淭he plan is to strategically reopen platforms, expand hours, etc., as the student staffing allows, with the priority being our Ciao Pizza platform and Friday service.

鈥淲e鈥檒l then look at expanding hours in our Marketplace (TxMx and Fickle Pickle Deli) and bring our last two service platforms, Cooks and Croutons, back online.鈥

Weekend operations might have to wait until spring quarter, Schluep said, but at least the CoHo will be back to normal Monday through Friday.

鈥淲e very much appreciate our customers鈥 continued patience and support,鈥 Schluep said. 鈥淲e鈥檙e very thankful and definitely feel an obligation to reward that patience with improved and expanded service as soon as our staffing levels will allow.鈥

The resumed Friday service two weeks ago and will continue operating five days a week in winter quarter, 7:30 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday-Friday. The CoHo鈥檚 other satellite operation, , may not reopen until spring.
