A new student-run coffee shop and café is preparing for its grand opening at Haskell Indian Nations University. Cedar and Sage Café, named through a student contest, marks a major milestone in the university’s efforts to enhance campus amenities and provide new opportunities for its students.
The café will offer a hands-on learning environment where student workers can gain valuable experience in key business areas such as menu development, customer service, pricing, inventory management, and daily operations. According to a university news release, proceeds from Cedar and Sage Café will directly benefit students, supporting wages for student workers and providing additional funding for student activities.
Located in Stidham Union, the café will feature a variety of offerings, including coffee, smoothies, iced coffee, pastries, sandwiches, and more. “We are excited to open this new space on campus,” said Mackie Moore, dean of Haskell’s College of Business. “In addition to serving as a community gathering spot, Cedar and Sage Café will create meaningful employment opportunities and foster student growth.”
Students are currently in training for a soft opening scheduled for Tuesday, with the grand opening celebration set for Friday, January 24.
Initially, the café will operate from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. to 8 p.m., Monday through Friday. Hours may be extended based on customer feedback and demand.
