Next is the Hofstra Deli, one of the most popular places on campus. The Deli offers a variety of deli sandwiches and grilled items, bottled drinks, take-out items and plenty of snacks.
As you enter Breslin Hall for a class, you will bump into the Breslin Kiosk. Enjoy some fresh juice, coffee and a muffin, or stop in later for lunch.
If you are attending class in C.V. Starr Hall, the main level has the Starr Café. This modern shop offers a mix of hot and cold "grab & go" food, specialty salads and sandwiches, bottled drinks, coffee, muffins, cakes and pastries.

As you make your back to the north side of campus, there is the Netherlands located on on Oak Street. This location has been designated as The First-Year Commons. It offers a spacious yet cozy atmosphere with outstanding food.
Continuing north is the Hofstra USA complex that includes Dutch Treats, a convenience store that offers a complete mix of groceries, fresh baked goods, household products, and a hot and cold deli section. As an added convenience to students, Dutch Treats is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Also located in the complex is Kate & Willy's. It offers table service dinner, a late-night menu and a Sunday brunch. Kate & Willy's is the entertainment center on campus, and a great place to meet friends and have fun.
