Dine With Us on Campus
Sweet Briar offers two dining options on campus. Daisy’s Café is a coffee shop and gathering place, as well as a convenient location to grab sandwiches, salads or grill items or to unwind after a long day. Dining at Prothro serves all-you-can eat breakfast, lunch and dinner daily. Both dining venues are open to the public.
