Rooster’s Coffeehouse has been a favourite hangout for students since the early 1970s. Though Rooster’s has gone through numerous transformations in the last thirty-five years, its mission has remained the same: to offer the Carleton community great food and drinks at reasonable prices in a friendly, welcoming space.
In its current incarnation, Rooster’s offers an extensive breakfast and lunch menu featuring pitas, soups, salads, omelettes, and of course, the famous Rooster’s bagelwich. The menu also includes a complete selection of coffees, teas, smoothies, and other speciality beverages. All Rooster’s hot beverages are fair trade and organic whenever possible.
