Plant-Based Options at Stony Brook University

Updated April 22, 2026

Always ask a manager if you have any questions about recipes, products or ingredients!

Some items can move between categories depending on how you order them. For example, avocado toast can be vegan without egg, and the Beyond Burger or nachos can be vegan if cheese or yogurt-based sauces are removed.

Use Nutrislice menu filters and on-site dining icons to double-check ingredients before ordering, since daily offerings can change.

Use the Nutrislice app to find vegan and vegetarian options by applying a filter to view the options at all dining locations.

The digital monitors and digital labels at the dining locations also have the icons present.

Items are available while supplies last and product availability may change.
