When reviewing the top items sold through campus food service outlets, one thing is evident, says general manager Joseph Moore: students still love the classics.

Tim Hortons coffee is the single best seller, with customers buying more than 40,000 medium cups and almost 30,000 smalls over the course of the first 11 months of 2024. Accompanying them were more than 25,000 doughnuts and 22,000 muffins.

“Those would be perennial big sellers,” Moore says. “Students always seem to need caffeine and sugar to power through.”

Of hot prepared foods, the most popular was French fries, which sold more than 17,600 servings from the Ambassador Grill in the student centre through the end of November. Pepperoni was the favourite topping at Pizza Pizza, with more than 13,000 slices sold.
