Something new has been brewing at Einstein Bros Bagels!

These new food lockers are exclusive to Einstein Bros and will be the primary way mobile orders are delivered going forward. It couldn't be easier! Once your order is ready, one of our employees will place your order into a locker and the Transact Mobile Order app will notify you that your order is ready!

Just be sure to arrive within 20 minutes of being notified that your food is ready, otherwise you'll need to talk with our team at the front counter for assistance!

Health & Nutrition

September’s Produce of the month is Okra! Okra is believed to have originated in West Africa and has since become an important ingredient in cuisines around the world.

Okra is packed with nutrients, including fiber, vitamin C, vitamin K, and folate (vitamin B9). Its fiber content helps support healthy digestion and can contribute to feelings of fullness. Okra also contains antioxidants, including vitamin C and plant compounds called polyphenols, which help protect cells from oxidative stress and support a healthy immune system. Stop by one of our produce spotlight events this month to give this delicious & nutritious produce a taste!

To get your container, inform the cashier at Suwannee Room or Seminole Café that you would like to redeem your OZZI swipe. Swipe your card, and the cashier will hand you your OZZI container!

The Food Recovery Network at FSU is all about reducing food waste and helping our community. Since 2014, this student-led program has recovered over 190,000 pounds of extra food from dining halls and events around campus and donated it to local organizations that support people facing food insecurity. It’s a simple way to make a real difference, and they’re now looking for student volunteers to join for the Fall semester.
