Dining
Welcome to the Trop Café
During the summer, three meals* (breakfast, lunch and dinner) are served at the Trop Café at Tropicana Gardens Residence Hall or Tropicana Del Norte Residence Hall. We are proud to partner with College Fresh Management Company to bring you food that is alive with flavor and nutrition, prepared from scratch, using authentic ingredients in a socially responsible manner.
*Meals are served at the Trop Café per your camp or conference agreement.
Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner & More
We are experienced at hosting large groups (we serve 3,000 meals a day during the academic year). Both locations offer plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. We are happy to work with you on your menus, to cater your meetings or provide sack lunches or dinners. If any of your guests have special dietary requirements or allergies, please let us know and we will be happy accommodate them.
