Where (and When) to Eat

Harris Refectory

Harris, the largest dining hall on campus, is located in The Plex. There are cozy booths for two or tables for 20 where you can dine with friends or with your textbooks.

The offerings and stations are ever-changing. Some popular examples include: Maki Sushi Rolls, Poke Bowls, Neapolitan style pizza (3-day fermented dough, San Marzano Tomatoes & Fresh Mozz) from our Italian pizza oven, Specialty Sandwiches, Mac-n-Cheese Bar, Ramen Noodle Bar, Street Taco Bar, Mojo Cuban Pork Bar, and a Halal Cart Station. Additionally, the made-to-order grill is open at all meals and students can order a variety of items such as burgers, veggie burgers, eggs, and quesadillas. Harris is the only dining hall open on weekends.

REFER TO CAMELWEB FOR HOURS DURING SUMMER & BREAKS

Jane Addams Dining Hall

Jane Addams, or JA, as it is affectionately called, is a smaller dining hall open to all students. More limited in size, offerings and hours than Harris, it is a convenient option for lunch for students between classes on south campus. In addition to a salad & deli bar, JA features an ever changing array of composed salads, home style soups, and breads with infused olive oils.

Blue Camel Café

The Blue Camel Café offers a variety of specialty coffees, teas, snacks and baked goods. In a comfortable, relaxed setting, you can enjoy a cappuccino, read a newspaper, watch close-captioned CNN for the latest news, and meet with others in our casual seating area.

This favorite campus coffee shop is located in a fully renovated 24-hour space on the first floor of the new Charles E. Shain Library.

Coffee Closet at Ruane's Den

This café, located in Harkness House, is a favorite spot to study, meet with friends or just grab a latte. Built with a generous gift from the Ruane family, it's a cozy, 1,500-square-foot coffee shop complete with comfy couches, wireless Internet and two large-screen televisions. The café serves baked goods, coffee, tea, cappuccinos, hot chocolate and their famous Nutella latte. While primarily designed as a student space, the café is also open to faculty, staff and campus visitors.

The Coffee Closet is only open during the academic year, beginning in August, and is closed during breaks.

Coffee Grounds

Coffee Grounds, a student-run venue located in Katharine Blunt (KB) House, offers a cool place to kick back, relax, study and enjoy some great espresso, coffee, hot chocolate and fresh-baked goodies. Coffee Grounds hosts special events throughout the year, including live music, poetry readings and open mic nights, and welcomes campus-group meetings, like the "Coffee G'Round the World" gatherings. At these events, international students share news and stories of their countries, allowing you to explore the world without leaving the couch.
