Campus dining: What's new this fall
Whether you're grabbing breakfast before class, meeting friends for lunch or fueling up for a late-night study session, you'll find plenty of places to eat across campus. From dining centers and cafés to grab-and-go markets and coffee shops, there's something for every schedule.
Looking for hours, menus, or a full list of campus dining locations? Visit the Campus Dining & Hospitality website for the latest information.
A new way to get takeout with USEFULL
This semester, Campus Dining & Hospitality and the Environmental Center have launched USEFULL, a reusable takeout container program that makes it easy to grab a meal on the go while reducing waste. Instead of disposable containers, eligible meals are served in stainless steel reusable containers that you simply return when you're finished.
You can find USEFULL at the Alferd Packer Grill and SEEC Café, making it easy to take your meal with you while helping support campus sustainability efforts.
Learn more about how the program works and how to participate.

New cafes are coming this fall
Baby Doe's cafe is opening this fall in the UMC, offering another convenient place to grab beverages or a snack between classes. Keep an eye out for opening details as the semester gets underway.
The Code Talker Market & Cafe will also open this fall, giving students another spot to pick up convenient to-go items. Watch for more details about hours and offerings as the opening gets closer.
Block meal swipes available
Block meal swipes are available to all students enrolled in CU Boulder degree programs who live off campus, or live on campus in Bear Creek, Weber Hall, Code Talker Hall or Graduate & Family Housing, and do not have a 15 or 19 meals/week required meal plan.
Students living on campus can purchase 25 meal swipes for $276.75 (no tax), and students living off campus can purchase 25 meal swipes for $302.61 (tax). Learn more about block meal swipes.
Location updates
A couple of campus favorites are changing this semester:
- The Alley at Farrand is closed while construction takes place.
- Roaming Ralphie, the campus food truck, will be serving from Dirk's Patio near the Center for Community (C4C), making it easy to grab a meal outdoors between classes.
As always, check the Campus Dining & Hospitality website for the latest hours, menus and any additional updates throughout the semester.
