Great Back to School College Campus Eats in the Yakima Valley

Heritage University

HU just released their daily menus, and it got me thinking that the next time I'm out that way in Toppenish, I should say hi to my friends who work there and grab a bite to eat at The Eagles Cafe. It's open to the public, so even if you don't have a friend or student who attends, you can always stop by.

Open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Located at 3240 Fort Road in Toppenish.

Perry Technical Institute

Perry Tech has a hidden gem within the campus at Mama Corie's Café (she used to own a popular restaurant in downtown Yakima on Staff Sargeant Pendleton Way).

Open Monday through Thursday from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. Located on the west end of Matson Hall.

Located at 2011 West Washington Ave in Yakima across from the Yakima Airport.

Perry Tech has Mama Corie's Cafe for a bite to eat.

Yakima Valley College
