“	You can vomit onto this food cuz it already smells like it.	”
–Jeff Winger, "Communication Studies"

The cafeteria is the main dining hall for the students and faculty of Greendale Community College. The study group regularly gathers here for lunch along with the other students. It is officially called the North Cafeteria after Admiral William North and is located on campus in the western portion of the east hall. It is a large facility equipped with enough tables and chairs for over a hundred students. The dining area is situated in front of two large walls of windows that give a nice view of the campus. It has a cafeteria staff, a sandwich shop, and connects directly to the student lounge. The cafeteria's first appearance was in the premiere episode of Season One and has been featured in almost every episode since then.

DesignEdit

Although its main function is to provide food services, it has also been utilized for other activities such as a showroom for fairs ("The Politics of Human Sexuality"), an auditorium for student performances ("Regional Holiday Music"), and as a place to hold school dances ("Pascal's Triangle Revisited"). "Hot & Brown" was a popular coffee shop once located inside the cafeteria until Chang accidentally burned it down in ("Competitive Ecology"). It was later replaced by a Subway franchise ("Digital Exploration of Interior Design") which was in turn replaced with Shirley's Sandwiches ("Introduction to Finality"). It also has an entrance to the student lounge and the school store "Pencil's and Such".
