On-site cafes

With 3 cafes on campus for staff, students and the public, there are multiple food options available to purchase at Open Day. You'll find everything from tasty comfort foods to fresh, healthy bites and hot drinks ensuring there's something for the whole family during your time on campus.

Love takeaway coffee? Our cafes support Lincoln University’s sustainability initiatives and do not have single-use coffee cups on campus. We offer reusable steel cups, silicone lids and cardboard heat sleeves, which are available by $4 deposit and return. Alternatively you can reduce single cup waste by bringing along your own mug or reusable cup to enjoy a delicious, sustainable coffee.
