5 Kiosk Must-Haves

Chocolate Chip Cookie (Zhuangting He)

#5: Chocolate Chip Cookie

Chocolate chip cookies are a classic due to their crisp edges and soft center loaded with gooey chocolate chips. The simple combination of sweet cookie dough and chocolate chunks creates the best dessert of all time—that's why they’re always my go-to when I’m feeling hungry.

Red Velvet Cookie (Zhuangting He)

#4: Red Velvet Cookie

The ultimate comfort food: a crimson cookie complemented with a thick layer of cream cheese frosting is favored among students, and the red and white color contrast is quite the showstopper. Sophomore Annie Chen said, “It is not too filling making it perfect for a sweet treat.”

Iced Caramel Latte (Zhuangting He)

#3: Iced Caramel Latte

The kiosk cafe is renowned for its caramel lattes. They are made quickly, and students can personalize them to their heart’s content by opting for any type of milk. The milk-to-coffee ratio is a mastered skill at the kiosk and is aesthetically pleasing to look at. You can expect to taste a bold caramel syrup in the first few sips and dark chocolatey bitterness towards the bottom.

Bagel (Zhuangting He)

#2: Bagel

The doughnut-shaped leavened roll is characterized by a crisp, chewy interior, toasted to golden brown. It’s even better with a modest smear of cream cheese. Freshman Savanna Lane said, “When I am running late in the morning, a bagel is what I get for breakfast.”

Chocolate Chip Scone (Zhuangting He)

#1: Chocolate Chip Scone

Topping the list is the chocolate chip scone. Boasting a perfect buttery texture dotted with chocolate chips and coarse sugar, the chocolate chip scone forms a combination that is simply irresistible. Freshman Francesca Mora said, “My favorite is the chocolate chip scone because of the sugar on the top. They’re even better warm.”

This is insane bias against the chocolate chip cookie, it has to be at least top three.
