2024 Dining Guide
Check out the comprehensive guide from Butler Dining! You will find information to help you navigate dining on campus and understand your meal plan. You will also learn about some of the programs and services offered as well as ways to get in contact with dining staff and stay informed on upcoming events.
BlueGo To-Go Program
In partnership with Butler Student Government Association and the Center for Urban Ecology and Sustainability, Butler Dining is now providing BLUEgos as a safe, environmentally friendly, and convenient to-go option for students, faculty, and staff on campus.
The program minimizes waste produced from the café, helping Butler achieve their sustainability goals as laid out in the Butler University Sustainability and Climate Action Plan (BUSCA), while giving flexibility to those that need a meal on the go.

Food Allergies
Serving Students with Food Allergies and Celiac Disease
The dining services team is well-trained in food allergy awareness and offer a number of options for students with food allergies and celiac disease. This includes communication about and modification to existing menu items, special preparation of menu items, and access to special products as agreed upon with students.
Daily menus for each café can be accessed at butler.cafebonappetit.com. Menu items that are appropriate options for most students with celiac disease are labeled as “made without gluten-containing ingredients” and can be filtered to streamline searching using the dietary preferences filter. A designated toaster for specialty bread products can be accessed by students as needed. Top 9 allergens are included in menu names and/or descriptions whenever possible. In addition, we offer Latitude, a destination in Marketplace at Atherton Union where all meals prepared are made without the use of the top 9 allergens plus gluten. Latitude is a segregated station designed with guest safety in mind and allows Bon Appétit to best manage ingredients from delivery to plate. For more on eating with a food allergy in our café, view the guide on Food Allergies and Celiac Disease at Butler University. Further questions about ingredients can be answered by our trained managers/chefs on-site.
For questions about these services or to request food allergy accommodations, students should contact:

FARECheck Certified
We are committed to the safety of all of our guests! Foodservice staff at Butler University have completed a FARECheck certified food allergen training program. FARECheck is a program that reviews and certifies food allergy training materials. This program was developed by Food Allergy Research & Education (FARE) in conjunction with Bon Appétit Management Company.
As a FARECheck certified campus, you can be assured that our in-house allergen training provides evidence-based information on food allergies and best practices for allergy-aware management. Our training covers an array of topics from an overview of food allergies, anaphylaxis, and reducing risk for cross-contact to communication protocols, and emergency response preparedness. All foodservice staff receive allergy awareness training twice per year and understand the importance of keeping food allergies top of mind. For help navigating your food choices on campus, please reach out to a member of our management team.

Celebrate 20 years of Eat Local Challenge with us! 🥳
This is a momentous milestone in our decades-long commitment to supporting local food systems. Twenty years ago, we began challenging our chefs to cook an entire meal made exclusively with ingredients grown within 150 miles of their cafés.
In a year of exciting milestones, 2024 also marks 25 years since the creation of our Farm to Fork program, our hallmark sustainability initiative that tasks all our teams to spend at least 20% of their food budget on ingredients from small farms, ranches, and artisan food businesses within 150 miles.
In commemoration of this occasion, we`ve published our learnings from 25 years of sourcing locally in a white paper entitled, "Sowing Success: Local Food Purchasing Insights from 25 Years of the Farm to Fork Program" (Check it out at the link in our bio!)
Thank you to our guests, chefs, and farmers for helping us continue our mission to expand and deepen support for our local food communities.
