Sylvan Snack Bar

All About Us

At Sylvan Snack Bar, we have a passion for sharing our love of food with everyone we meet. The Sylvan Snack Bar is a cooperative student-run food business located in McNamara Dorm in the Sylvan Residential Area. We provide evening and late night dining options to students including subs, calzones, and (awesome) quesadillas. Established in 1971, The Sylvan Snack Bar is the oldest student-run, non-profit, collective business at UMass.

Thanks to our food-conscious consumers and amazing vendors, with whom we’ve built such special relationships, Sylvan Snack Bar has become a popular late night snack bar. We look forward to serving the UMass Amherst community for years to come!
