Food is always on our minds.
In fact, one food psychologist discovered that the average individual makes over 200 food decisions a day! And I thought finding something on Netflix was hard. As students, we spend a considerable amount of time at school, which means that many of our food choices are directly affected by our surroundings. With so many options available, it can be tough to find something that’ll satisfy your taste buds. Therefore, we decided to track down the best places to eat on and around campus by asking Humber and Guelph-Humber students where they enjoy eating. Here is what we learned:
Christine– Journalism, North Campus
Place: Smoke’s Poutinerie
“You get a good amount of food, and its not too expensive.”
Samantha– Marketing, Lakeshore Campus
Place: “A” Building Cafeteria, Lakeshore Campus
Favourite Food: Fries
“There food is amazing and they are open till late, with lots of variety!”
Jordyn– Psychology, Guelph-Humber
Place: Osmow’s (Off-Campus)
Favourite Food: Chicken on the Rocks
“Something that is not offered on campus, so it’s different and it is not far.”
Braedon– Marketing, Lakeshore campus
Place: Starbucks
Favourite Food: Coffee cake cinnamon bun.
“Because it’s got the top quality coffee and food.”
Zellisse– Media Studies, Guelph-Humber
Place: Gourmet Express
Favourite Food: Ice Cream
“They always have a different variety and they also sell ice-cream.”
Jason– Events Management, North Campus
Place: Near the athletics section with the self-serve Tim Hortons.
“I only like it because it’s really empty over there, so there is a lot of food there.”
Peter, Marketing, Lakeshore Campus
Place: Tatsu’s Bakery (Off-Campus)
Favourite Food: Coconut Buns
“Because their atmosphere is really nice. It gives that summer feeling, like it’s relaxing. Even during winter it feels like summer inside.”
Nick– Marketing, Lakeshore Campus
Place: Adriano’s Pizza (Off-Campus)
Favourite Food: Pepperoni Pizza
“It’s local and he does free delivery.”
Linda– Journalism, North Campus
Place: Ackee Tree
“Because the patties are really good. It just feels very homey.”
Alicia– Public Relations, Lakeshore Campus
Place: “A” Building at Lakeshore Campus
Favourite Food: Avocado Sushi
“I prefer the A building since there is more selection besides pizza”
Sydney– Media Studies, Guelph-Humber
Place: Gourmet Express & The Humber Room
Favourite Food: Meatballs and Finger food, like sandwiches and chicken quesadillas (Gourmet Express)
“Gourmet Express, because it is a little bit cheaper for the closest thing to home cooked food, because it’s made by the culinary students. The variety is great and better value. My next best pick would be The Humber Room, because it’s nice to get a little dressed up, and again it is run by students, which is always nice.”
Jacob– Finance, Lakeshore Campus
Place: Black Goat Cafe (Off-Campus)
Favourite food: Pulled pork sandwich
“They have some great sandwiches and a laid back vibe, which is great for studying and meeting up with friends.”
Nick– Marketing, Lakeshore Campus

“It’s local and he does free delivery.”
Lovleen– Criminal Justice, Lakeshore Campus
