During the busy fall season, with classes in full swing and lots happening on campus, it can sometimes be hard to figure out what to eat. M Dining has you covered, with a wide selection of cafes, markets, and food options in our unions across campus!
If you’re looking for a quick drink or a snack to eat on the go, the Blue Market locations are a great place to start. They have all kinds of snacks like chips and cookies, as well as a wide selection of drinks and a variety of pre-packaged meal options. With locations around campus, there’s always one nearby!
In addition to Blue Markets, we have cafes across our campuses (including UMMA Cafe and Darwin’s Cafe in the Museum of Natural History, to name a couple). These are perfect places to spend time in between classes. Each cafe has its own unique menu with different beverages, food, and pastries. They are also great study spaces, and perfect for some reading or finishing up that assignment! Visit dining.umich.edu/menus-locations/cafes/ for more information.
The University Unions also offer some great food options on campus, especially if you are looking for a more substantial meal. All three Unions (Michigan Union, the Michigan League, and Pierpont Commons) have great options for lunches and dinners. The Michigan Union and Pierpont Commons have a selection of restaurants, including Panda Express, Panera, Subway, Qdoba and Ahmos. Check out uunions.umich.edu/ to learn everything you need to know about the University Unions.
Finally, whether you have Blue Bucks included in your meal plan or you purchase them separately, they can always be used at any campus cafe, market, or restaurant in the Unions! Blue Bucks are an easy and convenient way to pay - perfect for busy students. You can purchase Blue Bucks at any MDining market or cafe, or visit bluebucks.umich.edu/p/home.html to learn more!
