“Candlewood Market in Fairfield is my favorite place to grab lunch and do homework off campus. If I’m there early, I’ll get a bacon, egg, and cheese on a bagel. For lunch my favorite thing to get is the Chipotle Chicken BLT on ciabatta. I’m obsessed with their cranberry pomegranate refreshers and get one every time I go! The ambiance is so calming, with plants and tons of space with rustic decor.” – Sarah Margerison
“My go-to place to relax and get some work done is Harborview Market in Black Rock. The atmosphere in there is incredibly welcoming, centered around community and conversation. My two favorite things on the menu are the sweet magnolia coffee with oat milk and the Lisbon sandwich, complete with chorizo, egg, homefries, manchego, sauteed kale, and chipotle crema on a portuguese roll. When I finish writing my weekly Spectrum article or editing some of my photography work, I always make sure to reward myself with one of their freshly baked cookies. My two favorites are the dark chocolate sea salt and the oatmeal chocolate chip.” – Collin Moura
