Welcome to UCCity Dining: Where Flavor Meets Community

UCCity Dining is dedicated to serving delicious, fresh, locally sourced, sustainable, and high-quality meals that nourish both body and mind. Our mission is to offer diverse options that cater to the varied tastes, dietary needs, and lifestyles of our campus community—encompassing residential dining halls, retail cafes, specialty markets, grab-and-go spots, upscale campus eateries, and the UCCity Community Pantry. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite between classes, meeting friends for a meal, or fueling up for a study session, this is where great food and meaningful connections come together.

Come for the Campus, Stay for the Food

Wood-fired pizzas with house-made dough. Generous salad bars piled high with farm-fresh greens. Warm, just-baked pastries that fill the air with aroma. Ready to dig in?

Our culinary team crafts every dish with care, sourcing ingredients from local farms and our own campus gardens to ensure freshness and sustainability. From global street food and comfort classics to plant-based feasts and allergy-friendly options, we’re always innovating—our chefs regularly attend workshops to refine their skills and explore new flavors, so your next meal is always a delightful surprise. Whether you’re rushing to a lecture or unwinding by the campus quad, we’ve got something to satisfy every craving.

Health & Community at the Core

UCCity Dining prioritizes your well-being with inclusive choices, transparent allergen information, and a commitment to food security. We offer a wide range of dietary accommodations—vegan, gluten-free, halal, kosher, and more—so everyone can eat with confidence. If you’re recovering from illness, facing food insecurity, or just need a flexible meal plan, our team is here to help you access the nutrition you need. We believe good food should be for everyone, and our community pantry and sliding-scale options reflect that commitment.

Specialty Eateries & Upscale Bites

Looking for a elevated dining experience? Check out Global Table—our 450-seat flagship restaurant featuring four themed stations: Latin Fusion, Asian Street Food, Mediterranean Bites, and Indian Spice. For a cozy meal with colleagues or family, Campus Bistro offers seasonal dishes made with local ingredients, while The Coyote Club (named after our mascot) serves craft sandwiches, artisanal salads, and handcrafted cocktails in a sophisticated setting. All campus eateries accept UCCity Cash, which integrates seamlessly with meal plans for students.

Cafés & Coffee Spots

Coffee lovers, rejoice! We’ve got you covered with multiple spots to get your fix. Campus Grounds—our student-run café in the Memorial Union—serves specialty coffee, loose-leaf tea, matcha lattes, and quick bites like breakfast sandwiches and pastries. We also have Peet’s Coffee locations in the University Center and Library, plus a Starbucks in the Student Success Building (where you can order ahead via the Starbucks app to skip the line). Each café offers a cozy, study-friendly atmosphere—perfect for grabbing a drink and hitting the books.

Markets & Grab-and-Go

For busy days, our campus markets and grab-and-go spots are lifesavers. Residential Markets (located in each dorm neighborhood) stock healthy snacks, bottled drinks, ready-to-eat meals, and essentials—all accepting UCCity Cash. The Arbor Market goes beyond convenience with fresh-made sandwiches, salads, vegan and gluten-free options, organic coffee, and even study supplies and personal care items. Sit on the palm-fringed patio or grab your order to go—either way, you’ll get quality food fast.

UCCity Dining is more than just food—it’s a place to connect, explore, and thrive. Our team is passionate about serving our community with warmth, excellence, and respect for diverse cultures and dietary needs. We’re proud to be a vibrant social hub on campus, and we can’t wait to welcome you to the table!
