Bookmark Cafe

Several cafés, delis, and convenience stores around Ball State’s campus offer fast meals, late-night bites, specialty coffee, smoothies, and grocery basics. Like larger locations, these dining spots focus on fresh, custom-made options and a healthy variety of fruits and vegetables.

Bookmark CafeLocally Roasted Coffees

Located on Bracken Library’s first floor, Bookmark Cafe is a cozy place to grab a specialty espresso drink, quick snack, or full meal.

The café serves Indianapolis-roasted Hubbard & Cravens artisanal coffees and teas, which means your latte or cappuccino is crafted from beans that have met rigorous quality and flavor standards.

They’ve also been sourced from farmers who are paid fairly for their product.

Meals and Snacks

Fuel your studying with grab-no-go salads, sandwiches, and fresh fruit and veggie cups. At breakfast time, find cereals, yogurt, bottled juices, and donuts baked just hours earlier. Bring a book or your laptop with you, or take a little break in front of the TV while you caffeinate.
