Bert's Cafe is on the first floor UGLI. It opened February 20, 2008, and sports the usual coffee drinks and baked goods, plus sandwiches from Avalon Bakery.

The cafe is named after alumnus Bertram Askwith (LSA '31), who also funded the Askwith Media Library

[edit] In the news

• Cafe planned for UGLi, Michigan Daily, Sept 24 2007.

The designs, drawn up by a San Diego architecture firm, call for a central oval counter facing the library's entrance. The existing walls will be removed and replaced by an open lounge area with tables, chairs and couches. The café will serve beverages, snacks and health foods - a menu similar to that of MuJo Café, the coffee shop at the Duderstadt Center on North Campus.
