Located at 201 McCartney Street in College Hill, the new restaurant is scheduled to open Sept. 12, according to a Lafayette College spokesperson.

The Trolley Stop closed on July 12, just over a year after it opened in late May 2021. The restaurant was an anchor of the new McCartney Street Residences building along with the Lafayette College Store.

This will be a point of attention for Miss Jackson’s Kitchen when it opens. According to the college, the menu will be filled with healthy, local options prepared with organic ingredients at every opportunity.
Many employees of the Trolley Stop, which was operated by enjoy your foodthe Lafayette campus food service provider, will remain with the college and work in on-campus food services.
