One of risd's cafeterias, the Portfolio Cafe

RISD has at least 4 of its own cafeterias/eateries that I know about. The Portfolio Cafe is located in the same building as RISD's library. Actually, I can't say I've ever eaten there, because I don't go to the library that often, because it's across the river, and a little out of my way.

It always has a salad bar, freshly baked pizzas, a daily special and other things like burgers and fries, a soft serve ice cream machine where you can add bits of cookies and m & ms also. And today, and it seems like often when I look, it has a grains bar:


I've never seen a grains bar before this, with buckwheat and spelt salads and such, but it looks really healthy, and I think it's a great idea, but I still haven't tried it.

Here is the overall view of the portfolio:


They also sell some groceries like milk and cereal, because also in this building are several floors of student apartments. I've never been in them, but as far as I can tell, they are pretty chichi. I think that is why the food in the portfolio is a little more expensive than at the main cafeteria, the Met, to serve the more chichi risd population, but that could be just my opinion, I really don't know why.

I was there at around 2pm, so that's why it's pretty empty, but it's usually much busier around lunch and dinner. But I just ate my packed lunch from home.
