Duck and Owl

Publish Date: May 19, 2022

Crafton Hills College introduces to its campus a new café: Duck and Owl.

This whimsical name and its logo blend the childhood nicknames of owners Rebecca and Patricio. The couple moved from Stamford, Connecticut, to southern California for the sole purpose of opening the Café at Crafton Hills College.

The owners have strong restaurant industry backgrounds and were looking for a new adventure. After seeing the space inside the Crafton Center listed online, the duo knew straight away it would be the perfect place to bring their vision to life. They closed on the deal sight unseen and moved into their Southern California apartment -- also sight unseen -- one month before the grand opening.

The menu of delicious offerings was curated specifically for Crafton and incorporates traditional recipes passed down to Patricio by family such as Pato’s famous grilled cheese and the traditional chicken Tinga quesadilla.

Rebecca and Patricio are adjusting quickly to life in California and enjoying the CHC community where everyone who walks into the café automatically becomes a regular.

Duck and Owl is open 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 7:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Friday.
