What We Do
Meal Plans
No matter your dining needs, we have a meal plan option to meet them. Your meal plan offers you access to all seven dining halls across the 5Cs, and might also give you flex dollars to spend at dining halls and eateries across campus.

Sustainability
We’ve put ourselves at the forefront of sustainability in campus dining. We’ve made strides in reducing food waste, expanding our non-meat food options, and removing single-use plastic items from our dining halls and campus eateries.
Sustainability in ActionPitzer's Dining Halls & Eateries
McConnell Bistro
Our dining hall, McConnell Bistro, serves a wide selection of fresh, made-from-scratch meals seven days a week. We offer a substantial selection of vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. And, if you have a dietary restriction that needs more in-depth planning, we’ll work with you to meet your needs.
Pit Stop Café
The Pit Stop Café is Pitzer’s campus coffee shop. Located in Scott Hall facing the academic quad, it’s open Monday through Friday between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. — making it the perfect place to grab a snack between classes.
Shakedown Café
The Shakedown Café is a 100% student-run restaurant located in our Gold Student Center, central to our residence halls. With early morning and evening hours, it’s the perfect spot for breakfast or a late-night snack.
Grove House Kitchen
The Grove House lunch has been a campus staple since Pitzer first moved the house, piece by piece, to campus in 1977. It’s now open daily for lunch during the week, and offers a great atmosphere for reading, studying, or even napping.
