This site is available to you to explore Colby's Dining Service. Colby, together with Sodexho, the food contract service, offers its students an expansive choice of food service options to meet their diverse dietary choices.

For those of you not familiar with our Dining Services, Colby operates three dining halls during the school year. Each dining hall strives to create a flavor and atmosphere all its own. Assisting them with that task is the bakeshop. All of our breads and desserts are prepared fresh daily by the Colby bakers.

 

FOSS DINING HALL...

Foss features a Euro-kitchen that allows our customers to see their food being prepared for them. Foss's menu features many enticing dishes created specifically with the vegetarian student in mind. They offer vegan entrees and some organic offerings. To accommodate the increase in students during the renovation to Roberts, the menu has been expanded to include breakfast and many comfort food entrees, along with their usual blend of exotic dishes.

 

DANA DINING HALL...

features an open food environment. This marketplace approach to dining includes our ever-popular grill items, together with a complementary mix of our students' favorite made-to-order foods. Our talented chefs then balance the menu with a blend of convenience and comfort foods and a revolving array of eclectic specialty entrees.

 

ROBERTS DINING HALL...

began renovations this summer which will continue through the first semester. It will reopen second semester with an exciting new look and feel. Keep an eye on the renovations page at Renovations for updates on construction progress.

 

THE JOSEPH FAMILY SPA...

is our college cash operation located in Cotter Union. It's a great place to relax, meet friends, play pool, and enjoy the frequently scheduled entertainment. Its extensive menu offers everything from specialty sandwiches to our own version of the perennial student favorites--pizza, burgers, and fries. A popular feature of the Spa is the Marchese Bluelight Pub. The pub is located just off the ground level entrance to the Spa and is open to all members of the Colby community and their guests Monday through Wednesday. On Thursday, Friday, and Saturday the Pub is reserved for patrons 21 years of age or older.

Due to the Roberts renovation, the Spa will be offering a "Grab & Go" option for lunch, Monday through Friday. Students will have the option of using a meal credit at lunch for a pre-made, ready-to-eat meal. All that is needed is a student Colby I.D. to scan through the meal access computer.

 

THE STREET...

is located in Miller Library as a convenient place to grab a quick cup of coffee or an espresso during a study break or as a "take-along" while walking across campus. Open 8 to noon, Monday through Friday, and 3-11 pm Sunday through Thursday, it is a quick but relaxing stop for students, faculty and staff alike.

 

OUR STAFF...

is the most integral part of our dining program. They supply a total commitment to customer service and quality. We know our people are the reason our student approval rating has remained consistently high year after year. Our annual surveys show a 97 percent approval rating in overall student satisfaction!

 

Anyone with food restrictions or special dietary needs, should contact the manager of the dining hall she/he frequents most often for assistance. If allergies are a concern, Dining Services has ingredient and nutritional information available for all prepared menu items. Any of the servers can provide you with an ingredient list for any item on the daily menu.

We hope you enjoy your visit to Colby's Dining Services' site. If you have any suggestions or comments about our site or our services, please let us know. Use our Suggestion Box to make your voice heard. We look forward to receiving your comments.
