Dining Services
Our expanded dining options in our new Battenberg Café in the Learning Commons mean you can grab something to go or sit down for a meal with friends from the first floor food cafe. Or grab a cup of our very own Bulldog Blend roasted locally by Great Lakes Coffee in the second floor coffee shop.
Ƶ and Creative Dining Services are partnering to bring you this whole new campus dining experience.
You can choose food from one of the eight stations in the Battenberg Café. In the evening, you can order personalized pizza at the Café Order Window or from the specialty menu at BJ’s Lounge.

The Zone
We believe that delicious food shouldn't be limited by your diet. That's why The Zone station offers a wide variety of dishes prepared without the top eight allergens (milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat and soybeans) but are delicious and flavorful like chicken bacon cacciatore, mojo grilled chicken wings and Singapore noodles.
Hearth ‘19
Food should be exciting, flavorful and innovative. The Creative Dining Service chefs use emerging global flavors to create aromatic, handcrafted dishes with flavor profiles from France, India, Greece and Thailand. Signature dishes will be available every day at Hearth ‘19, including the popular Dashi concept — a rice or noodle bowl topped with Asian-inspired beef, sesame tempeh or hickory-smoked chicken with edamame beans, bamboo shoots and shiitake mushrooms in flavorful broths such as lemongrass chicken or orange miso.
Sobey Deli
The Sobey Deli is your go-to spot for great sandwiches, handcrafted burgers and more!
Named after Kettering founder Albert J. Sobey, the Sobey Deli features fresh-cut meats, assorted cheeses and seasonal toppings to build your own sandwiches. Handcrafted burgers with fries and tater tots also are available.
Trattoria
We're not saying you're never going to want to leave the Trattoria, but…
We are saying that our amazing pizza oven is capable of producing some of the best Italian dishes you've ever had. We're talking baked ziti, tortellini piccata, spicy pepperoni and Margherita pizzas — all of which you can enjoy when the mood strikes you.
The Pastry Place

Our daily-made pastries? They're fresh. Our juices? Fresh. Our milks, and fruit, and yogurt parfaits? Fresh. Every time you come in, you can expect to find options that are made with the best ingredients possible so you can start every day fresh!
