Parks Café at Everett Community College
Everett Community College's 5,600-square-foot Parks Café features an airy cafeteria with large windows, an espresso stand, and seating for more than 300 to eat, study and socialize.
Menu
The new menu features daily specials including tacos, pizza, grilled burgers and entrees, sandwiches and salads made to order, a soup and salad bar, and breakfast. In January 2012, the cafe introduced the Noodle House, a fresh selection of stir-fried noodle bowls.
The menu includes vegetarian, gluten-free, organic and Seafood Watch
options.
Entrée prices range from $1.95 for the Value Menu Burger to $6.50 for Oregon Bay Shrimp Pad Thai.
Student Spaces
Students helped design the space, which features several types of seating for eating, studying and hanging out. In addition to standard cafeteria tables, a curved couch wraps around a fireplace and TV on the second floor, two eight-foot tables provide seating for large groups, a long bench surrounds a moveable stage, and tables with umbrellas are placed on the second level balcony during nice weather.
Catering
Parks Café offers catering for on-campus and off-campus events.
