After a tedious day of classes, many students
crave a treat simply for making it through the
day. Their answer might just be a moist piece
of cheesecake and a hoagie.
"I find this rather weird, the combination of
a cafe and. a sub shop," said James Janowsky
(senior-film).
Janowsky is not referring to the normal sub
shops seen in State College. Instead, the subject
of his comment is Subway Cafe, 454 E College
Ave.
Reza Farahani, co-owner of Subway Cafe,
said the combinations possible with the tradi
tional Subway menu and the new expanded
menu are not your everyday meals. The cafe is
"still experimenting with a lot of different
products," he said.
"It's still basically in the developmental
stage," Farahani said. The concept behind
Subway Cafe is simple a regular Subway
menu combined with a coffeehouse-type menu,
located in a coffeehouse-type atmosphere.

"I find this rather weird, the
combination of a cafe and a
sub shop."
James Janowsky
senior-film
Franchise World Headquarters, said the Sub
way Cafe concept is a novel idea that capital
izes on modern trends. The idea of coffee shops
and gourmet coffeehouses "are popping up all
over," she said,
The restaurant, which opened at the end of
last spring, was the first Subway Cafe in the
world. A second one recently opened in Alaska.
The Alaskan Subway Cafe was developed at
the same time as the State College store. In fact
it was "a race to see which one would open
first," Klotzer said.
The State College location was the one to win
the race, and Farahani has done his best to
merge the coffeehouse atmosphere with the
traditional Subway.
"You're more likely to sit down in this type of
place than in the regular Subways," said Chris
Rubal (junior-broadcast cable). "They leave the
paper for you."
But not everyone agrees the Cafe has been
successful in creating an atmosphere that
invites people to sit and relax.
Geoff Guevara-Geer (graduate-Spanish) said
a "cafe is supposed to be a place where you can
think and talk," and the restaurant falls short in
this area.
The Cafe plays one type of music over the
speakers but have a different video playing on
the TV monitor, Guevara-Geer said. This makes
it hard to sit and relax, he said.
But so far, the Cafe's sales have been higher
than expected, Farahani said. He is confident
that the store is "going to supply our customers
with the best we can supply them."
Although the management is dedicated to
making Subway Cafe a continued success, cus
tomers are ultimately the ones who decide the
cafe's fate. And if Michael Beltz (senior-land
scape contracting) is any indication of public
opinion, the store has nothing to worry about.
"When I first came in, I thought it was neat
and had a bit of class," he said.
