On campus, kosher food is available and easily accessible. Hot kosher meals are served weekday evenings and Sunday mornings in Center Court, and kosher packaged food is available almost everywhere on campus where non-kosher food is served. You can find more information about food on campus at www.diningservices.wustl.edu.
Anyone can purchase the kosher packaged food around campus, but only those on the kosher meal plan can eat the hot kosher dinner. Those on the kosher meal plan are not limited to buying kosher food.
Off campus, there’s a kosher dairy restaurant a ten minute drive away on Delmar, called Shmeer’s Café. It has pastas, salads, and pizza for dinner, and bagels etc. for breakfast and lunch.
The grocery store next to the kosher restaurant, Schnuck’s, has a supervised bakery, so all their bagels, breads, and cakes are kosher as well. Not every Schnuck’s has this service.
