The Blend Express serves gourmet espresso drinks, Boston Stoker Coffees, pastries and more. Students and faculty often stop by TBE in between classes to grab a refreshing drink. TBE is conveniently located in the Atrium of Miriam Hall. In the summer of 2008, the Atrium and TBE went under renovations to provide students with a fresh new place to study, get-together or hang out between classes. Along with the makeover, TBE offers a new menu which includes soda products, juices, and a wide-variety of Vitamin Water and Fuze. The Blend Express accepts cash, credit card and Flyer Express.

If you are in need of catering services for events held in the Atrium please visit FE Catering, where you can view their new catering menu and place your order online!

Division History:

The Blend Express opened in September 2002. The concept for an expansion of The Blend through the addition of a division in the School of Business Administration (http://business.udayton.edu) was proposed by Dr. Deb Bickford, Associate Provost for Academic Affairs and Learning Initiatives. The School granted approval and funding for the venture, and Flyer Enterprises now has full financial ownership of TBE.
