Serves meat, vegan options available. University cafeteria where vegan choices are marked with V+ and include lunch sandwiches, hot and cold snacks, soy pudding, and dinner meals as well. Removed February 2023 due to lack of vegan options.
Both the Kantine and the Cafe barely offer vegan options despite the university website stating all food establishments serve vegan options. Employees don’t know what vegan is either. Only options are plain bread or a piece of fruit and if you’re lucky one of the soups is vegan.
For a university cafetaria, the vegan offer is highly inadequate. In terms of decent lunch options (rather than snacks or fruit), most days I'm happy if there is a "bamischijf". If you are really lucky, one of the soups is vegan, but most of the time they are vegetarian at best. Even with the salad buffet it is too vague for me which bowls are vegan, due to all kinds of sauces. In short, the offer is rather unhealthy and there are virtually no vegan options.
The university catering has really stepped up it's game for vegan options. All locations now offer a variety of vegan foods. You can find a list of the current options here: https://www.medewerkers.universiteitleiden.nl/mededelingen/2018/01/vegan-assortiment?cf=archeologie&cd=fda-bestuur-bureau
