About Us
In Summary
Terra Café is a sit-down or take-out restaurant committed to providing locally sourced and organic food to the campus community every Wednesday at EMPAC.
Who We Are
Terra Café is a service and club provided by RPI students to enhance the community of RPI while educating our peers of the benefits of supporting the local and organic movement.
This full service, sit-down restaurant experience, is committed to serving local and organic foods. Each week will feature a new menu with a meat option, vegetarian/ vegan option, and dessert with drinks.
Terra Café started as a student initiative first cooked up by members of EcoLogic, RPI's oldest environmental group, and then turned into a PDI (Product Design and Innovation) organizational design project which then turned into our fantastic on-campus volunteer club!
How We Work
Students work closely with the Evelyn’s Café Staff to accent food issues through the menu choices available at the Café.
Terra Café meals are payable by FLEX, RAD, cash, credit, or volunteer for two hours for a free lunch!
Where and When
We are at Evelyn's Café in EMPAC almost every Wednesday each semester from 11:00 AM - 3:00 PM. Check our schedule so you don't miss out!
