Whether you're a student, staff/faculty member, or visiting from off-campus, all Brown dining locations are open to the public! We offer a diverse mix of dining experiences to fit your schedule and taste. On this page, you can explore all of our locations, view current hours, and find what's on the menu.

Our campus eateries are divided into two main types. Residential Dining Halls, like the Sharpe Refectory and Verney-Woolley, are our all-you-care-to-eat, buffet-style locations where one meal credit or entry fee gives you access to a wide variety of stations. In contrast, our Retail Cafes & Markets, such as the Blue Room, Ivy Room, and Andrews Commons, are à la carte locations where you pay for exactly what you want such as a quick coffee, a grab-and-go meal, or a made-to-order specialty like a smoothie or signature bowl.
