Washington University in St. Louis to close Ursa's Cafe

Nov. 13—Friday night crepes at Ursa’s will soon be a thing of the past.
Dining Services is permanently discontinuing food service in Ursa’s Cafe after Nov. 24 due to a decline in popularity that has made the space a losing investment.
Most of the popular food items will move to new locations on campus—crepes and bubble tea will be available in Cherry Tree Cafe, and the gyros and other Mediterranean cuisine items will move to the Danforth University Center to provide a new dinner option. No decisions have been made regarding the ice cream and milkshakes.
But the change marks a new chapter in the life of Ursa’s Cafe, which has been losing money for years.
The cafe will now be used exclusively as a programming venue.
