See recommendations below!
There are a number of coffee shops and nearby restaurants in walking distance to campus. The key intersection is Delmar/Skinker. If you google restaurants near Wash U, you will be populated with a range of options from diners, to full restaurants, with plenty of vegetarian/vegan options. Its about a 15 minute walk to the heart of Delmar/Skinker. On campus, there is the DUC (The Danforth University Center) where there is food and coffee shop. They tend to have off hours during summer, so some of the food options may be closed, but the coffee shop will be open. Uber eats and Doordash also deliver to campus.
You can ask Lori Watson for any recommendations as well.
