The Finest in Hospitality – Café Locations
R&DE cafés offer convenient meal options across campus for every taste. From made-to-order meals to easy grab-n-go options, you will find diverse menus prepared by our talented culinary team using seasonal, locally-sourced and sustainable ingredients whenever possible. Vegan, vegetarian, allergen-friendly, kosher and halal options are available.
Stanford students pay no sales tax on meal purchases when presenting their valid student ID at time of service. For greater flexibility, some locations also accept Meal Plan Dollars. Learn more. Proceeds from R&DE SDHA cafés and markets help offset increases in room and board, and support student programs.
