Faculty and Staff are welcome to eat at all of our locations, in addition, all venues offer food wrapped to go.

What types of food do you serve?


Each of our retail venues has a different type of food offering, look at the website at : www.scu.edu/diningservices to see the daily menus at each venue.

Do you cater?


Yes! We have a full service catering department with fabulous menus which can be viewed on our website. Whether it’s boxed lunches, a formal sit-down dinner, or anything in between, we will take care of all your needs. We will even customize the event to make it even more special. We also offer Express catering which can be picked up and does not incur a service charge.

Is there a service charge?


There is an 18% service charge for all delivered catering which helps us defray the labor costs of delivering, setting up and returning to clean up each event. All deliveries include high grade paper and plastic ware , china is available for a small additional cost.

What is literary cuisine?


Bon Appetit partners with the Orradre Library and Barnes and Noble once per quarter to honor an author and pair food with the event, last May we featured John Steinbeck and offered a Sea of Cortez menu as a San Jose State speaker spoke of her recent voyage to the Sea of Cortez. In November 2004 we will be featuring Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol to start off the holiday season.



Do you give tours?


We would be happy to show anyone the kitchens of any of our venues. Please contact the General Manager, Cathy Straub, at 554-7804.

How long has Bon Appetit been providing dining services at SCU?


Since the fall of 2000. We are excited and honored to be starting our seventh year here.

When can I choose catering by either Bon Appetit, Adobe or an outside vendor?;


Since the fall of 2000. All catered events located in the Benson center must be catered by Bon Appetit. At any other location on campus catering may be done by either Bon Appetit or the Adobe Lodge. If the event is a closed meeting and a maximum of $50 will be spent on food, then you can purchase food from your place of choice.
