    Hand pie
    Lindsey S.

    I've tried both sweet and savory hand pies and enjoyed them. Unfortunately, I've been served the wrong hand pie now on two separate occasions, but maybe it's just me. Prices seem a bit high for what you get. You'll be spending around $10 for a pie and a drink. Portage also seems to be a popular study spot, with a long, narrow table in the middle of the cafe with plenty of outlets and good lighting. Despite this, I've never had a issue finding a seat like some of the other coffee shops in town. Parking can be a bit more difficult to find in the area, especially during Terrace season.

    This is a really adorable space inside the Graduate, perfect for 'gramming if you so desire. It looks like it can also be a popular study space, and I really appreciate the dual usage. here is a meal set where you can order a pie, a salad and a drink for $12, and it's a solid deal compared to paying a la carte. That said, it is a little pricey for what you get. The packaged salad I had had high quality ingredients but wasn't particularly textually varied (there was a lot of spinach), and I think the sweet pies might be a better bet than the savory one that I had which had a particularly high crust to filling ratio, where the filling wasn't really being absorbed by the crust (though I definitely want to check out that Wisconsin Pi!). I swapped out my drink for an iced coffee, which was okay.

    Friendly staff, fresh salads, delicious juices. Try the Bluto (pineapple, apple, coconut, and mint) if you can! You won't be disappointed.
