Meals on the Go

GRAB and GO student lunches

For the Fall 2024 semester, Grab and Go student lunches will be served at Kohlberg Coffee Bar Monday-Friday 11:30 a.m.—2 p.m. starting Monday, September 9th.  You must reserve your lunch via the G.E.T. Cbord App in advance.

Religious observances

We work to accommodate religious observances to the best of our abilities.  Please contact us at dining@swarthmore.edu if you require accommodations.  

Swarthmore Dining makes every attempt to accommodate religious preferences. Please contact dining@swarthmore.edu directly to request accommodations for Ramadan or other fasting holidays. Our fresh chicken purveyor sells us “Halal” chicken but please be sure to consult with our menu information sheet (posted at each serving line) to be sure the recipe does not have added alcohol. Halal chicken is available at Essie Mae’s snack bar upon request.

During Passover we label at least one option, which is “Passover Friendly”. There is also a Passover cart located in the salad bar room, which has Passover staples during the holiday. There is a Shabbat dinner prepared by students Friday nights in the Bond hall. Please request information from Kehilah.
