UNM Food is bringing new dining options, refreshed spaces, and more ways for students, faculty, staff, and visitors to experience campus through food.
What’s New This Fall
Starbucks is moving from Zimmerman Library to the Student Union Building, bringing coffee, refreshments, and study break essentials to the heart of campus.
We are also excited to welcome a new local partner to campus. Ca Phe Culture at Zimmerman Library, created by the team behind local favorite Bing Tea, will bring handcrafted specialty drinks, including Vietnamese-inspired coffee, boba tea, and a fresh café experience to UNM. Hear more about their story on our Instagram and read more about coffee changes coming to campus this fall. 
Discover Albuquerque Through Food: Local Favorites on Campus
Looking to explore more local flavors? Visit the North Campus Food Truck Pad, where a rotating lineup of local vendors brings a variety of delicious options to campus throughout the week. Located off Tucker Ave., the Food Truck Pad is just steps from the BernCo open space trail that surrounds the North Golf Course, making it easy to pair great food with fresh air, movement, and wellness.
The Student Union Building is also home to two familiar New Mexico favorites available during the academic year. Dion’s and Blake’s Lotaburger serve local flavors to Lobos from near and far.
Look for the New Mexico icon throughout our dining locations to identify local partnerships on campus.
