Life gets sweeter on the Hill

Tasty changes are underway on “the Hill,” UCLA’s residential  community. The quick-serve restaurant Puzzles Café, included as a meal plan option, will soon be converted into a dessert café, complete with  pastries, ice cream, frozen yogurt, and tasty toppings. Delish! Puzzles will also serve  fair-trade coffee and have a tea bar to keep students perky through studying  sessions. Puzzles’ old menu included more traditional fast food fare, and  similar items will stay, including mini-pizzas and evening munchies. I have fond memories of chowing down on Puzzles’ burritos and curly fries when I lived on campus way back when. But now that I'm such a frozen yogurt fiend, I'm happy about the changes. I'll have to make the trek across campus to test out the new menu in September. (I can still eat in the residential and quick-serve restaurants of my student days by loading some cash on my Bruin Card and swiping as I enter the eateries.)

In other food news...There are currently some  Kosher foods offered on the Hill, and quite a bit at Hillel across the street from campus. Students keeping  Kosher can now sign up for a special meal plan with increased options in the  residential restaurants. UCLA Dining Services is also  introducing more vegetarian and vegan dishes in the fall.

But really, who needs to eat meals when there's frozen yogurt to be had?

Watch this space for delicious changes...

We can't take credit for this picture unfortunately, Eric, but thanks for the compliment. All of us here at UARS can't wait for you to come back too, we miss you!

That sounds great. I'm glad to hear that there are vegan options
