The Muddy River Cafe
The newly renovated Muddy River Café offers an assortment of student requested favorites including grill items, paninis, brick oven pizza, and self serve yogurt bar. Meal equivalency is available for select menu items and brochures are available to help students put together a well balanced meal. A variety of snacks, and single serve items are also available for purchase with flex dollars and fenway cash. Guests may take meals “to-go” in an assortment of eco-friendly containers. This is a great alternative for students with schedules that do not provide them with enough time to visit in the "all you can eat cafe".
The Atrium Cafe
The atrium cafe is our late night operation on campus serving grill to order items, as well as a large variety of grab and go salads, sandwiches, and desserts. These items are available nightly and can be purchased with flex dollars, fenway cash, or cash. We have also decided to extend the meal swip availability from 6pm- 9pm due to feed back regarding off campus activities, athletic practices, and internships. This is a clear equivalency program, and menu options are posted.
For Students on the Go!!
Because we realize that student have very busy schedules and cannot always make it to scheduled meals we offer a variety of options.
Box lunches/breakfasts:
box lunches and breakfast forms are available in the main cafe at the cashier stand. Students may fill them out and drop off to Bon Appetit 24hrs in advance for a box breakfast or lunch pick up in The Main Dining Room.
Bulk Pack-outs
Bulk Pack outs are for student groups of 10 or more. With 48hrs notice students may order a bulk meal from a brochure menu that I have attached. Student id's and names are required in order to process the order. This is a pick up program, and is packed with disposables so students may take it any where on campus.
Eco-clam shells
Students may purchase an eco clam shell for 5$ and bring it to the cafe for a "to-go" option. Students leave their id at the desk for 15mins and may fill the container with a well balanced meal (we realize that at certain meal periods students may need additional time as lines are long). Used shells can to be brought back to the cafe and exchanged for a clean one to be used again. Students are not allowed to consume one meal and then pack a meal "to-go". The concept is to allow student with out time to stay in the cafe an option to leave with out removing china. This is the only “to-go” container permitted in the cafe.
Food Allergies and Intolerances
Food Allergic Individuals:
Be aware that we handle and prepare egg, milk, wheat, shellfish, fish, soy, peanut, tree nut products, and other potential allergens in our cafes and kitchens. Please direct all allergen questions to a manager.
