Dining Experience

Every college campus has food, but not every college campus has Bon Appétit. According to a student satisfaction survey, our food is in the top 5% in the country–AGAIN!

Like or don’t like something? Leave a note in the Upper Commons and Chef Bob will get back to you. No time to sit down for a full meal? You can still eat on the move with grab-and-go locations across campus. Have a dietary restriction? A vegetarian? Need something gluten free? We’ve got you covered.

Bon Appétit makes sure there is something for everyone—including special dinners for Ramadan, Christmas, Thanksgiving and Chinese New Year. Not only is the food great (and healthy), it’s local!

Bon Appétit is committed to using local and sustainable ingredients whenever possible and sponsors the Eat Local Challenge and Low Carbon Diet Day each year. In addition, all carry-out containers are compostable!

Food and where to find it:

• The Upper Commons is the University’s main dining hall serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. It’s all you care to eat, and the choices seem endless—from stir-fry and French fries to a huge fresh salad bar and calzones.
• The Lower Commons is located right below the Upper Commons and has everything from grab-and-go salads and sandwiches to sushi and our very own Quiznos.
• The Law School Bistro serves up different breakfast, lunch and dinner specials each day including homemade soup, grab-and-go sandwiches, fresh wraps and even tuna melts. You don’t even have to know what a tort is…no, it’s not a dessert.
• The Hawk’s Nest is located in the Rec Center and serves up Seattle’s Best coffee and fresh pastries and bagels in addition to fruit smoothies, grab-and-go selections and even a late night menu with nachos and wings.
• The Global Café serves Starbucks coffee and specializes in espresso drinks, but also grab-and-go options and breakfast sandwiches.
• The Dining Hall at Baypoint is the main destination for students who live in Baypoint or who are seeking an all you care to eat dining hall in a more intimate setting.
• The Convenience Store in North Residence Hall has whatever you need, including a Dunkin Donuts.
• The Core Express is located in CAS and also has grab-and-go options and coffee.
