WELCOME TO YOUR CAFÉ!
At Bon Appétit, our story is simple. It’s about food – great food. Everything we believe and everything we do is based on creating great food, produced in a socially responsible manner with regional and seasonal products grown by local farmers and artisans. We cook from scratch using fresh, authentic ingredients. We make our food alive with flavor and nutrition.

SPECIAL DIETS
We plan café-specific menus and cook from scratch in each location. From simmering stocks to finishing sauces and roasting meats, our approach to food allows us to provide fresh foods from whole ingredients. Our approach allows guests to customize many cafe options to meet their personal dietary goals. We love to hear from you and can assist you in identifying your choices or even prepare foods to meet your needs.
If you have a food allergy or other dietary restrictions, please connect with our General Manager and we will work with you to make sure you can enjoy plenty of delicious food, safely, with us.

Your questions are important to us, we’re here to answer all of your questions regarding faculty and staff meals!

Scripps College is fighting food waste and hunger by recovering surplus perishable food from our campus that would otherwise go to waste and donating it to people in need through Vesta Foodservice.

Huerta del Valle Garden – Our composting partner.

This past year, the team at Scripps College has partnered with Huerta del Valle Garden, a community garden, in our composting needs. Huerta del Valle is a nonprofit grassroots organization serving the Inland Empire region of Southern California, a network of urban farms and community gardens working for an equitable food system to provide healthy organic produce for all. The food waste that they are collecting from Scripps College is being turned into compost, rather than being sent to a landfill. That compost is used in their community garden. It is a mutually beneficial program that benefits the community as a whole.

We serve thousands of guests with food allergies and sensitivities safely in our cafés every day. Our chefs, managers, and dietitians work closely with our food-allergic guests to create reasonable solutions to help them eat what they love. If you have questions about eating for your dietary needs in our cafés, reach out to us: we’ll gladly meet with you.

Wellness also includes the health of the animals, the workers, the community, and the Earth. They’re all connected. Bon Appétit has been committed to “food service for a sustainable future” for decades, and we’ve led the food service industry in tackling many important issues, such as cage-free eggs, antibiotics in animal production, and farmworker rights.
