On Campus Dining

Saint Mary's Dining Services has a meal program designed to meet your individual needs. We know you're busy with classes, sports, clubs and service activities, and we make sure that you can find a nourishing and enjoyable meal or snack when you need it.  Up-To-Date hours of operations can be found HERE.

Saint Mary's College contracts with the Good Eating Company to provide food service in Oliver Hall, The Coffee Shop, and for many of the student socials. The College offers breakfast, lunch, and dinner during the week, and brunch and dinner on weekends. The Late Night Dining Program offered nightly gives students a break from studying. 

All students living on campus, including the Townhouses, will have a meal plan included with their housing costs. The cost of a 7DAY or 5DAY meal plan is already bundled into the room/board costs for students living in first-year residence halls, as well as all of the suite-style residence halls (excluding Becket/More, who have a 175 Block base meal plan).  Townhouse residents and off-campus students are welcome to increase their meal plans at any time by contacting Campus Housing.

CampusFuel - Meal Plan Flexibility at Coffee Shop

What is CampusFuel?

CampusFuel is your ticket to a more flexible dining experience. In this first trial, this option allows you to use your meal plan swipe (yes, the meal swipe that you would typically use at Oliver Hall) at the coffee shop starting Spring 2024.

When you order at the coffee shop as usual, let the cashier know you're paying with ‘CampusFuel’ and your meal slip will cover a certain amount of your purchase. If your purchase happens to be priced over what the meal swipe covers, you can pay the difference with flex dollars/board points or a credit card. However, keep in mind, if you use a meal swipe in Oliver Hall during a meal period, you won't be able to utilize a swipe from your meal plan at the Coffee Shop and vice versa. 

Meal Periods

Monday-Friday: Breakfast 7:30 AM – 10:30 AM | Lunch 11:00 AM – 3:00 PM | Dinner 4:45 PM – 8:00 PM | Saturday: 8:00 AM – 1:00 PM

Spending Limits

Enjoy $7.78 for breakfast, $8.40 for lunch, $10.65 for dinner, and $8.40 for Saturday brunch. Exceeded your limit? No problem! Cover the difference with credit card, flex cash, or board points.

Dining Locations

Students have access to Oliver Hall, Coffee Shop, 1928 Pub, Gael Goods Convenience Store, and endless off-campus options via Grubhub!
