Heidelberg’s soon-to-be café and bakery has its name and identity, thanks student response to a naming contest that ended on Friday.

The weeklong contest was organized by Student Senate, which received nearly 100 potential names. The list was narrowed to three – The Heidelbean!, Cornerstone Coffee House and Siggy’s Coffee Corner – and more than 600 students cast their votes online for the winner.

And the winner is … with 423 votes (65 percent) … The HeidelBean!

Congratulations to junior Jimmy Jacobs, who provided the name. Jimmy will receive a $100 gift card to either the Bookstore, Amazon or Berg Bucks.

Work is progressing on the café and bakery and is expected to be completed some time near the end of the semester.
