Campus Life

Bon Appetit on Campus is a pretty amazing food provider. The Commons, our main cafeteria, always provides a vegan/vegetarian option, with gluten free options available at request. Lunch includes a sushi bar, while every meal contains a desert bar.

Open until around midnight is the Plaza Cafe, where you can buy fast food, pizza, sandwiches, frozen yogurt, and then market goods. These include gluten and dairy free breads, milks, cookies, egg substitutes and such, as well as drinks, hummus, icecream and other market goods.

The Bulldog Cafe is the student operated cafe for coffee and tea. It's centrally located to most classes!

The University Club is the fancy restaurant on campus, offering steak, salads, entrees, deserts, and the like. Not many students frequent it except for special occasions, so it is likely you and a special someone can have a romantic, quiet date here.

Bon Appetit is a wonderful catering company who really does their job to keep student healthy. Sometimes I do get tired of their food but that is normal.

The food here is pretty awesome for cafeteria food! We have special catering from Bon Appetit who employ professional chefs to make our yummy meals! You won't go hungry here!

The Irvine Commons offers gourmet meals from Bon Appetite

Most of the food is good but the same dishes get old after a while. I've heard some complaints about the quality of certain foods, and sometimes the dining rooms could use more staff during peak meal times. In addition, during the weekends the quality of the commons and the variety of food available goes down significantly.
