Welcome to University Dining Services

GREAT EATS ON CAMPUS

Food. It's how we relax, relate, and reconnect - with ourselves, and with others.

University Dining Services offers one of the most unique dining opportunities of any college campus in the United States. We serve the food and beverage needs of the U of M community with our campus and residential restaurants, and full service catering department. Our staff is dedicated to providing great customer service and a variety of quality foods.

Whether you choose to eat in one of our campus restaurants, residential restaurants, convenience stores or coffee shops, you’ll find something to suit your taste: soups, salads, vegetables, entrees and desserts as well as made-to-order delicatessen sandwiches, ethnic dishes, low-fat and low-carb options and specialty coffees. We serve our food in facilities where you can relax and eat.

University Dining Services is having a contest to find the best recipe from home. Submit the recipe to dining@umn.edu between November 23, 2009 & December 31, 2009.

University Dining Services to Open
7th Java City café on Campus

Seventh Java City to Open

On December 7, University Dining Services (UDS) will open its 7th Java City cafe in East Bank's Medical BioSciences Building, directly across from TCF Bank Stadium.

The café will be a Java City EcoGrounds location, serving 100% sustainable coffees and espresso drinks. The café will also offer gourmet pastries, soups, grab & go sandwiches, salads, sushi and snacks.

Java City’s EcoGrounds brand sources coffee from farms managed in accordance with social and environmental guidelines. The EcoGrounds standard ensures Java City gives farmers financial stability to further invest in farming resources, while providing a fair wage for farm employees.

UDS operates three other Java City EcoGrounds cafes: Hay Loft Café in St. Paul’s Pomeroy Center, Left Bank Cafe in West Bank’s Regis Center for Arts and Java City Essentials in West Bank’s Blegen Hall.

Java City – Medical BioSciences will operate from 7:30am - 4:00pm Monday - Friday.

For more information on UDS’ Java City locations, hours and specials, visit the Campus Restaurants page at www.umn.edu/dining/cdining.html.
