Bon Appetit offers students a variety of dining options, meal plans and dining facilities.
Dining facilities at Pacific include the Marketplace (our main dining facility located in the DeRosa University Center), The Lair (pub style eatery located in the DeRosa University Center), the Calaveras Coffee House, Davies Café (located in the Library), the Health Sciences Café (located in the Health Sciences Learning Center), the "Easy Artisan Takeout" (E.A.T) food truck located on South campus, and the Grove Grocery (located in McCaffrey Center). Each facility features a variety of menu options including such things as a salad bar, home-style soups, freshly baked desserts, and beverages. At least one vegetarian entrée is featured at each meal. In addition, students may purchase any of the items offered at the Grove Grocery with the Meal Plan.
All students living on-campus are required to participate in a Meal Plan.
Instead of recording meals per day or per year, students have ability to use the Meal Plan to buy food they want to eat, whenever and wherever they are hungry. The Meal Plan account works like a debit card, with all the funds loaded onto the student's Meal Plan account at the beginning of each semester. The Dining Dollar/Point amount placed on the student's Meal Plan account each semester is determined by the plan they choose. Each time the student makes a purchase, the amount is deducted from the balance. After each purchase, the remaining Meal Plan amount is displayed at the cash register so the student can keep track of their remaining balance throughout the semester. A receipt is provided on request.Meal Plan contracts are for the undergraduate Fall and Spring terms or the professional Pharmacy Fall, Winter and Spring term and all changes to meal plans must be completed prior to the start of each term.

The University assumes no liability for meals or cash allowances provided by fraternities or sororities.
