What’s New 2025

This year, Vanderbilt Campus Dining is introducing exciting new offerings in response to the evolving needs and tastes of our campus community. In response to our Dining Advisory Board’s insight, feedback from our surveys, and partnership with Vanderbilt Student Government, we are sharing updates for 2025-26 to enhance your dining experience. 

VandyCart now makes it easier than ever to get groceries right on campus. Through the Transact Mobile Ordering app, you can place an order for pickup using meal swipes or meal money, offering convenience, variety, and value without leaving campus. 

Our Off-Campus Meal Plan is also expanding, giving students more flexibility and choice.  

Rothschild Dining Hall is debuting a new Pan-Asian concept with everything from curries to pho to rice bowls and an enhances grill station. We’re welcoming back Swaadisht, serving South Asian favorites. Together, Rothschild will bring a fresh and flavorful palette to Campus Dining. 

Zeppos Dining Hall welcomes a brand-new kosher deli, offering authentic, made-to-order options prepared in a dedicated space that meets kosher standards. 

Local Java has been fully renovated with new seating and an upgraded menu that now includes boba tea, smoothies, delicious sandwiches, and more.  

Thanks to your ideas and feedback, Campus Dining is evolving to better serve the way you eat, connect, and experience campus life.
