The cafe opened\u00a0this past\u00a0Monday and\u00a0offers an assortment of yummy snacks and breakfast items, including kolaches, donuts, breakfst burritos, coffee, tea, and a variety of other treats. The Crossing Cafe is a\u00a0completely student-operated business run by Wildcat Venture students Allie Rostron, Casey Duncum, and Brandon Avedikian.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em><strong>Allie Rostron, CEO of the\u00a0cafe,\u00a0says, &#8220;I am extremely happy with the renovations. Menus can always be changed, but our goal was to create a unique and\u00a0inviting\u00a0environment for the students.&#8221;<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/coba\/files\/2013\/09\/cafe-traffic.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1754\" alt=\"cafe traffic\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/coba\/files\/2013\/09\/cafe-traffic-300x200.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/coba\/files\/2013\/09\/cafe-traffic-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/coba\/files\/2013\/09\/cafe-traffic-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/coba\/files\/2013\/09\/cafe-traffic-490x326.jpg 490w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Casey Duncum, senior management major, is also pleased with the new cafe.\u00a0Casey has an innovative vision for the cafe, seeking ways to truly add to the unique COBA experience.
