We all have a bit of food connoisseur within us. We remember the meals worthy of a five-star rating. The meals that make our tastebuds dance. The meals remind us of the familiarity of home or a night spent with friends on campus. The meals that we want to eat over and over again. The flavors we love are on speed dial in our brains. But getting those flavors exactly when and where we want them is another story.
Delivering those foods to you on campus quickly may be easier than you think. Your favorite restaurants on UF’s campus can be brought to you by another student and fellow foodie in a fast and eco-friendly way using BYPPOCampus.
Here are five top-notch restaurant options on BYPPOCampus that your taste buds will give a five-star rating.
Mi Apa
The first restaurant available at your doorstep in just a few clicks is Mi Apa. Why not opt for some unparalleled Latin cuisine from a local favorite?
Using BYPPOCampus, you can sit tight for 10 minutes while another gator skips the line at Reitz Union and delivers your meal.
Mi Apa gives gators a taste of fresh, delectable, and affordable Cuban food. If you crave warm picadillo or ropa vieja loaded with seasoned ground beef, onions, peppers, and more, then you've found the right place.
If you order the arroz con pollo, be sure to give the maduros a try if you love all things sweet and opt for the tostones if you’re in the mood for something salty to pair with your chicken, rice, and beans. Either way, you can't go wrong.
Starbucks
College often means you need to cram those last 500 words into your essay and master what seems to be an impossible concept before the big test tomorrow.
When it feels like you need an I.V. of Starbucks expresso, BYPPOCampus will be your knight in shining armor.
BYPPOCampus has all your Starbucks favorites, whether you need coffee, tea, cake pops, sandwiches, or any of your other go-to orders, you will be in good hands. You can order from numerous locations on campus including Reitz Union, Hub, Health Science Center, Library West, Law, Marston Library, and Norman.
Panda Express
It's about time that you swapped out those flavorless microwavable ramen noodles for some Panda Express chow mein loaded with fresh onions, cabbage, and celery.
For those who do not yet know and love Panda Express, you cannot go wrong with a bowl loaded with chow mein and orange chicken.
The most anticipated part of the meal is unwrapping and cracking open your fortune cookie. It is important to know if you will become a rich and famous gator one day.
Papa Johns
It’s Friday night and you and your friends have set up the perfect movie and game night. You picked up candy and snacks, but everyone wants the warm cheesy goodness of pizza.
If your friends share an admiration for simplicity, you can order an extra-large cheese or pepperoni pizza. If your friends can’t agree on whether pineapple belongs on pizza, then they can order pizza by the slice and settle the debate later.Their slogan is “Better ingredients, better pizza” for a reason. Don’t miss out!
Chomp It
If you are looking for something exclusive to the swamp, place an order at Chomp It.
You will have to take a chomp out of the wide variety of sandwiches, chicken tenders, burgers, wraps, and more. Even vegetarians can indulge in the black bean burger or the grilled three-cheese sandwich when they get Chomp It delivered.
While you're at it, be sure to make your meal a combo. After all, who wouldn't want to add fries and a drink to their meal?
As a student at a top-five public university, you deserve to order from the top five restaurants on campus. Be sure to try these picks on BYPPOCampus and skip the walk across campus, you earned it.
