SEC is a 4 Star Certified Green Restaurant!

The SEC Café is located centrally in the the Science & Engineering Complex on Level 1, just west of the main atrium. Surrounded by indoor and outdoor seating, SEC is a bright and welcoming space for gathering and a great meal.

The café features breakfast, lunch, snacks, beverages, and freshly brewed Peet’s coffee. The day starts with freshly made pastries, traditional and artisan breakfast sandwiches and bowls, fruits and yogurts.

At lunch, in addition to salads, soups and chilis, you'll also find creative specialty sandwiches (leading with climate-friendly choices like an Eggplant and Tahini Torpedo or a Vegetarian Roti) and a made-to-order deli, craft bowls with a greens or grains base and a satisfying mix of toppings and proteins (such as the quinoa-based New England Harvest bowl), as well as a traditional american grill with flavorful choices like the Awesome Jalepeno Burger.
