Stepping into Oakham Café on a Monday afternoon is an escape from the busy streets surrounding the Ryerson University campus. The lights are slightly dimmed and jazz music is playing on the radio. Daily specials are written on a chalkboard and an array of desserts and drinks are placed behind the glass counter. Each table is filled with students.
Located in the Ryerson Student Centre, Oakham Café offers students a comfortable and convenient environment where they can study, meet up with friends, or grab a quick bite to eat.
“The atmosphere is relaxing and the food is healthier than most places on campus,” says Ryerson student Felicia Nicholson who has been coming to Oakham Café for the past year.
Unlike Ryerson’s campus pub Ram in the Rye, which is known for its beer and nachos, Oakham Café takes a different approach to eating on campus. Hummus platters, avocado wraps and soups are only some of the healthier food options on the menu.
Recently, Oakham Café began ‘Organic Wednesdays,’where students can enjoy live jazz music, win prizes and try organic tea and coffee, all for free.
“I go to Oakham quite a bit,” says Ryerson student Samantha Anderson. “I love it because I can concentrate on my work and have a great meal.”
