Blanchard Café, located on the ground floor of our newly renovated Blanchard Campus Center, is another dining option for students on the board plan and is open to any of our staff, faculty or non-board students. The Café features our signature freshly baked brick oven pizzas and calzones, Culinary Classics sauté and Salad Sensations stations, a nice variety of freshly made sandwiches, salads, soups, charbroiled and grilled items, desserts, appetizers, grab n' go options, Edy's soft serve ice cream and yogurt, and popular sodas, convenience items, and beverages. Each station features a daily special and the grill station has low carbohydrate alternatives.

Any full board student can dine in Blanchard Café for lunch or dinner. Students can now enjoy more expanded meal hours if they cannot make the meal times in our other dining locations. Full board students can also use their Dining Dollar$ or cash to purchase any items in the Café. All students have the option to open a MHCXpress Account (debit account) or use cash for payment of purchases in the Café.

The meal hours for lunch and dinner for the board plan are:

  • Lunch: 11:00 AM - 4:00 PM
  • Dinner: 4:00 PM - 12:00 midnight

A meal on the board plan in the Café has a cash value of up to $6.75 in board dollars for lunch and dinner. Students get to choose which menu items they wish to purchase for up to $6.75. Since this is counted as a meal, all items that you wish to include in that meal, need to be purchased at that time. If your items total more than the designated amount, the difference will be deducted from your Dining Dollar$ Account, and then when that is depleted, your MHCXpress Account. You can also pay cash.
