Dining Off Campus

Bear Bucks are accepted on all four Washington University in St. Louis campuses as well as select off-campus businesses, including many in the Delmar Loop and Clayton. Washington University in St. Louis receives a small percentage of sales associated with Bear Bucks, which it uses to cover administrative costs to operate the program. See where you can spend your Bear Bucks off-campus! You can add Bear Bucks to your access card by contacting Summer Programs & Conference Services or by visiting Campus Card Services where they accept cash or check. Learn more about Campus Card Services by visiting Card.wustl.edu/bear-bucks.

If you’ll be visiting campus this summer and have a food allergy, please submit our Food Allergy History Form so we can best meet your needs.

All items in our cafes are clearly marked with COR icon sticker on the label or on the corresponding menu board, which identify the top 8 allergens. Ingredients and specific dietary information can be found on the Dining website under menus. If you need information about a specific item, please inquire with a manager or cafe chef.

All of our dining locations offer a large variety of both vegetarian and vegan options. Look for these icons next to menu items.

Halal and Kosher Meals

We work closely with STLHalal to maintain an authentic halal food program. All chicken served in the DUC is Halal certified. Halal grab-n-go meals are also available in campus cafes and markets.

Kosher meals are available by pre-arrangement with Dining Services. There will be limited amounts of Kosher prepacks available at open dining locations.

We aim to create a dining environment that is supportive, comforting, and provides delicious food that nourishes the mind, body, and soul. There are a few key principles that can help you provide your body the necessary nutrients, energy, and satisfaction from food that you need and deserve! To set yourself up to do well throughout the day, try to incorporate these principles, understanding that flexibility with your food choices is an essential part of gentle nutrition.

1. There is no “one size fits all” nutrition plan, despite what you might have heard or read at one point or another. Your nutrition needs are unique to you.

2. Aim to incorporate regular meals and snacks. Eating regularly throughout the day can maintain your mental and physical energy.

3. Try to include a variety of foods at each meal and snack. Incorporating a variety of food groups including sources of protein, carbohydrates, fiber, and fat provides complex nutrients which keeps us feeling satisfied and energized throughout the day.

A gentle nutrition plan can help you achieve your health goals without being “perfect” with your food choices. Try to remember that there is no such thing as bad foods, and we encourage you to remove this language from your vocabulary. Learn more about nutrition initiatives on campus here.
