Collins at Claremont McKenna College, a gathering place for the entire community, is designed to showcase a wide range of flavorful, delicious offerings for breakfast, lunch and dinner in a casual dining setting. Listed below are the food choices we are pleased to offer for the upcoming year.

Collins Grill for the favorites such as made to order omelets or French toast for breakfast, or all-natural beef burgers, vegetarian burgers, chicken breast sandwiches and house fries, a specialty fried item or daily grill special for lunch and dinner.

@ Home offers classic comfort entrée combinations that reflect seasonally fresh ingredients blended with a dash of creative flair.

Farm to Fork features only vegetarian and vegan foods with ingredients that are minimally processed and organic and locally grown based on seasonality and availability.

Greens begins with the freshest of vegetables. Add these to mixed greens and top it all off with your pick of house-made dressings or herb-infused vinegars.

Expo brings the show to you with exhibition style cooking right before your eyes. An international flair will creatively be featured while offering Asian, Italian, and Mexican items. Vegetarian items will always be available. Fun items like funnel cakes and ice cream sundae bars will also be available throughout the year.

Ovens features freshly baked pizza and pasta daily. The pizza selections will run the gamut from the house favorites, such as cheese or pepperoni, to the more exotic like shrimp scampi. The pasta of the day will be accompanied by your choice of two sauces.

Corner Deli offers make-your-own sandwich meats roasted fresh right on the premises. Traditional favorites like turkey, roast beef and ham, as well as tuna salad and egg salad will be available.

Options is a lunch and dinner concept served Monday - Friday that will feature a made-to-order cold entrée salad or “wrap” for lunch and a hot deli, piadini salad or carving station at dinner. Chili and potato bars are also a favorite at this station.
