HKS is a 3 Star Certified Green Restaurant!

Dining at the Harvard Kennedy School is as diverse as the community who studies and works there. A range of hot and cold breakfast selections is available until 9:45am. Lunch service runs from 11:30am-2:30pm. Light snacks are available in the interim periods. The HKS Café has extensive seating, but you can also take lunch outside to nearby JFK Park for a lovely break in the day.

The lunchtime menu includes a variety of thin and thick crust pizzas, classic and specialty deli sandwiches, American grill classics, an extensive salad bar with soups, a daily destination international street food, and a climate-friendly entirely plant-based station.
