Hopkinsville Community College hosts the Purple Cat Café, which serves breakfast and pastries, light hot and cold lunch fare, homemade desserts, and expresso drinks from a central location in the Auditorium Building on the Hopkinsville campus. Students, faculty, staff, and campus visitors can enjoy a relaxing atmosphere perfect for studying, reading a newspaper, or taking advantage of HCC's guest WiFi, all while enjoying Irene and Jesse Jacques' delicious fare.
For that quick snack between classes, each campus building has a vending machine bay with food and drink offerings available all hours the campus is open.
Both food services are contracted and the commissions benefit student scholarships.
