Now, if all the Daily Bread Café had to offer was great meals that would be good. However, the café has also long been at the front of the movement to use local ingredients and to offer environmentally friendly choices. Diversity Foods at University of Winnipeg rightly gets praised for their efforts in these areas, and I’ve written about that before . Unfortunately, Daily Bread Café and St. John’s Food Services don’t always get the credit they deserve. The most recent example of this is the introduction of Tiffins. Tiffins are a popular lunch style and/or container in India and other parts of SouthEast Asia. How they are used at St. John’s College is that you buy the Tiffin, get a discount on your takeout meal, and then bring the Tiffin back (after cleaning of course), and refill it, once again getting a discount. This saves on the need for takeout containers, and is better for the environment. Hopefully one day, all food service outlets will adopt a similar model.

If you happen to be on the U of M campus at anytime, it’s definitely worth your while to make sure your trip includes a visit to the basement of St. John’s College for a meal at Daily Bread. Also, given the college’s location on Dysart Road, it’s only a short walk from the Stadium on days when the Bombers are playing.
