After years of growing, the cafe has taken on a new location, a bigger menu, and extended hours. Newly named as The Crumb Cafe, this late night eatery is open seven nights a week, offering a larger range of sandwiches, snacks, drinks, and meal items due to student access to and new use of the Sharples dining hall kitchen facility. The move has opened up additional opportunities for interested students to work at the cafe. The Crumb Cafe is also more accessible to all types of students on campus. Whereas the old cafe only accepted campus points, the renovated Crumb Cafe accepts a wide variety of meal plan options, such as Swat Points, Garnet Cash, Dining Dollars, and the late night meal swipe that every student has. Additionally, the Crumb Cafe is an environmentally sustainable cafe by using all compostable materials.

There is a lot of excitement around the expansion of the cafe and the cafe has hired many new students but has been struggling to serve a large student body.
