Founded in 1984 by Joanne Schneider and Willow Bentley, Bentley's has been a part of the university community for over 20 years. Since that time, we have shifted and grown without ever forgetting where we are and why. Joanne's commitment is to our customers. She has strived to create a space where students can study, grab a bite and burn the midnight oil.

Locally owned and operated, we work to be flexible and adaptable to our customer's needs, while maintaining the integrity of our fresh and fast menu, quality coffee & teas, free wireless Internet and, of course, friendly service. We offer breakfast, lunch, dinner and late night dining options, as well as a large selection of caffineated and decaf beverages.

Hey y'all!

After a short summer break, Ocotillo Poetry Slam returns hotter than ever this
weekend. Check out featured poet Dee Matthews, all the way from Detroit to
rock you with her intense, personal poetry.

But that's not all! Dee will be leading a performance workshop on Saturday
afternoon. For only $5, you'll receive invaluable wisdom from Dee's many years
in poetry and theater. This is not just any workshop, y'all. I was lucky
enough to attend a workshop with Dee in Detroit this spring, and it was utterly
transformative and moving. This is a unique opportunity that I hope you won't
pass up.

After you've spent the afternoon honing your craft with fellow slammers, test it
out at the Slam that night! Sign-up is open to all but only one can win the
coveted Summer Crown of Flowers.

Saturday, June 21st
