The Ave Herald

There are several great places to eat in Annunciation Circle, and visitors are also welcome at the Ave Maria University Café and at the university cafeteria during regular meal times.

The first eatery to open in the town of Ave Maria is the town's coffee shop - The Bean of Ave Maria. The bean is the main local gathering place for the community of Ave Maria and offers great coffee (of course!), breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks and ice cream. Beer and wine is available as well. You can sit inside, or enjoy the atmosphere of Ave Maria at one of the many outdoor tables surrounding a relaxing fountain.

The Queen Mary Pub and Grille, a British-style pub, offers American and pub favorites in a friendly, social atmosphere. There is a full ba and music every Friday night. The Queen Mary is open Thursday-Sunday, and hours and other information are here.

 The Tropical Smoothie Cafe in the town center offers wraps, sandwiches, salads and smoothies of all types.

The University Café is located in the Student Union building and offers snacks and sandwiches from 9 a.m. til midnight every day]. Meals can be purchased in the cafeteria, inside the Student Union.
