Our Menu
Espresso, Hot Cocoa and Loose Tea
In addition to a variety of epresso based drinks and hot cocoa, we also carry a selection of loose teas.
Way back in the dawn of history, the owner of MEM Teas owned Espresso Express,
which provided the newly opened Gato with coffee.
Years later, Mark no longer owns EE, but he does own MEM Teas!
It's a full circle of caffeinated goodness.
Among the standard varieties of delicious tea:
- Roobois Decorated - uniquely vanilla and citrus, a Gato favourite
- White Peony - the least processed of all teas, retaining a maximum of the beneficial elements, savory and sweet.
- Finest Earl Grey - with extra bergamot tastiness
Hours

RedCat Logo Gear
Jenny Davis '06 designed a great logo for the cafe, and now we've actually got something to put it on! We have mugs, mousepags, and hoodies with your favorite Cafe's logo . You can purchase some of this wonderful stuff in the Cafe, but going here is even better. Remember the time spent and honor the University without being a snob about it - wear a GatoRojo sweatshirt.
