My personal favorites are Van’s Frozen Custard, Benedict’s Eggs and More, The Village Squire, and Sweet Pop Fizz Candy Bar. Van’s is the go-to spot for my college friends and I. It’s a laid back restaurant that has amazing frozen custard with all the toppings you could wish for. They also have a daily flavor of the day. Benedict’s has great brunch options. It’s a great spot for a lazy Saturday outing. The Squire is the late night food and drink spot for my friends and I. After an event on campus, we all drive over to the Squire and hang out there for a while. Lastly, Sweet Pop Fizz Candy Bar is where I take my girl friends to get a glass of wine and chocolate – they’re hooked after the first try.
