A fresh food experience.
Choose from a light, healthy snack to a hearty meal. Your options include salads, veggie wraps, burgers, tacos, pizza, and so much more. Craving breakfast food? Try biscuits and gravy or a fresh-baked bagel from Einstein Bros. Bagels.
A Don’s at Walb meal plan breakfast includes a deluxe breakfast sandwich, hash browns, fruit, and a beverage. Or enjoy an entrée, two sides, and a fountain drink for breakfast and lunch. Getting your meals is as easy as swiping your Mastodon Card. Meal plans are not accepted at Einstein’s or Java Spot—these locations accept only cash, credit, debit, and Don Dollars.
