The newly renovated Nest, located on the third floor of Slayter Hall, has a new menu.

Its execution has been driven by student input at every step. Comfort food, with a healthier edge, is one way to describe it, from the ultimate manna — flatbreads, sandwiches, soup, vegetables, and desserts.

Looking for that late-night pizza bagel fix? Maybe some live music? Ready for a little much-needed R & R? The Bandersnatch is where it’s at.

You’ll find the exceedingly frumious Bandersnatch, named after the Alice in Wonderland character, in the lower level of Huffman Hall. The student-run coffee house offers a variety of bagels — including Denison’s own Snagel (a bagel with cream cheese and brown sugar) — plus other nibblies, fantastic milkshakes, and a great place to just to hang out with your friends. Student performers always welcome.
