Hazell Nut Café

Hazell Nut Café

Stop by the Hazell Nut Café for a fresh cup of coffee and see hospitality in action!

The Hazell Nut Café is a student-run café operated by Hospitality & Tourism Management majors in the Pompea College of Business at the University of New Haven. As part of the curriculum, students spend a semester managing every aspect of the café—from working as baristas to handling food purchasing, inventory, and preparation.

This hands-on experience gives students real-world insight into running a hospitality business, building skills in operations, teamwork, and customer service.

The café offers a variety of coffee, iced beverages, and specialty teas, along with freshly prepared items including baked goods, pizzas, salads, and sandwiches.
