Student-Managed Facilities

Two signature facilities in the Hospitality and Tourism Management program bring the real-world experience of entrepreneurship and hospitality business ownership. They are completely student-run by hospitality and tourism majors, enabling them to gain invaluable management experience that will stand out on their resume and earn the attention of potential employers.

Hazell Nut Café

Stop by the Hazell Nut Café for a fresh cup of coffee and see hospitality in action!

The Hazell Nut Café is a student-run café operated by Hospitality & Tourism Management majors in the Pompea College of Business at the University of New Haven. As part of the curriculum, students spend a semester managing every aspect of the café—from working as baristas to handling food purchasing, inventory, and preparation.

This hands-on experience gives students real-world insight into running a hospitality business, building skills in operations, teamwork, and customer service.

The café offers a variety of coffee, iced beverages, and specialty teas, along with freshly prepared items including baked goods, pizzas, salads, and sandwiches.
