Chicago State University is pleased to announce that we have a new cafeteria vendor on campus, Pearls and Roses LLC.

Pearls and Roses LLC believes in quality, not quantity, and meeting students’ nutritional needs. Pearls & Roses wants all students, faculty, and staff to have a positive food experience no matter their eating preferences. Pearls & Roses also specializes in satisfying vegetarian and vegan menu options.

Pearls & Roses Goals:

Three circles highlighting features of Chicago State's cafeteria: health fresh meals, a comfortable and clean environment, and that all eating preferences are met, including vegetarian and vegan options.
