Dining Halls
UCSC dining halls offer all-you-care-to-enjoy buffet service with an array of choices for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We provide many options for a variety of dietary needs, including vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, halal, and allergen-free foods.
If you're in the mood for just a coffee, a snack, or light meal, check out one of our cafes, markets, or coffee bars.
