Nutrition

It is important for students and community members to enjoy great food that is healthy and delicious. To serve the needs of the campus, we provide a variety of menu options and have developed our program to be as safe and inclusive as possible. 

Special Diets

Vegan and Vegetarian

Vegan and Vegetarian choices are plentiful. Every Emory Dining location offers at least one Vegan or Vegetarian menu option at every meal period. The residential dining facility boasts a distinct Vegan station which offers a complete plant-based meal at lunch and dinner. 

Gluten-Free

At the Dobbs Common Table (DCT), the “Avoiding Gluten” station provides lunch and dinner selections prepared in a special area of the kitchen without ingredients that contain gluten.  

At other Emory Dining locations, we do not have specified areas for avoiding gluten, however, we offer many menu items made without gluten containing ingredients, and guests have the option of substituting non-gluten-containing alternatives for pasta, hamburger buns, or deli breads. 

Kosher

Emory Dining offers a Kosher meal plan available to all students and community members. The Dobbs Common Table in the Emory Student Center provides a certified Kosher lunch and dinner Sunday through Thursday and lunch on Friday. Guests may also enjoy Kosher meals at the Dobbs Common Table in the Emory Student Center at prevailing door rates. 

Kosher sandwiches are available at Grab and Go retail locations across campus, including Cox Hall, Rollins Café, and White Hall. 

Halal

A certified Halal protein option is available at Dobbs Common Table in the Emory Student Center every lunch and dinner meal period. Halal sandwich and salad options are available at Grab and Go retail locations across campus, including Cox Hall, Rollins Café, and White Hall. 

To identify menu items that meet special dietary needs, Emory Dining uses menu icons on the online menu and on menu signs throughout the cafés.

image013.jpgMenu items identified with the “↓G” symbol are prepared using ingredients that do not contain gluten and steps are taken to manage the risk of cross-contact. We identify menu items in this manner (instead of “gluten-free”) because all food is prepared in open kitchens that handle gluten. For many, the steps we take to avoid cross-contact with gluten containing ingredients allow them to safely dine with us.
