Dining options at GC
The campus dining hall seeks to meet the food needs of all students with a variety of gourmet, fresh and local foods. You can also eat a quick lunch in the Leaf Raker Snack Shop or have a drink in the student-run Java Junction Coffee Bar.
Westlawn Dining Hall
Our main dining hall offers various meal plan options and seeks to meet the food needs of all students (including food allergies and preferences) in all-you-care-to-eat dining. And our kitchen garden and composting program are helping the campus go green.
Java Junction Coffee Bar
Java Junction is a student-managed coffee bar on the campus of Goshen College that is open to everyone – students, employees and the general public. Gift cards are available.
All employees are students, and the student managers are selected by the business department through an application process as part of our experiential learning opportunities.
Java Junction provides an atmosphere that allows students, faculty, staff and the Goshen community to enjoy quality food and beverages, live music and fellowship.
Managers enroll in the Java Junction Operations course and receive academic credit for managing all aspects of the business: operations, human resources, marketing, purchasing and accounting. Students are supervised by a business department faculty member and receive a grade for their work based on the the success of the business as well as their own individual contributions to the management team.

Leaf Raker Cafe
The Leaf Raker is more than a typical snack shop: its small menu packs a punch with traditional all-American and international favorites, creative vegetarian and vegan options and deli items with a focus on freshness and local sourcing. The central location and newly-remodeled chic interior makes it a great place to catch up with friends or work on a class project.
