Spring quarter is ending, summer looms — and guess what we are focused on? Sustenance: Where can we get coffee and food on campus?

Well, some of your favorite places may be closed, but you will have many other options: Swirlz Bakery, Ciao (pizza) and Ikoma Sushi at the Coffee House; Peet’s Coffee in three locations (Silo, Activities and Recreation Center, or ARC, and King Hall); the markets at the Memorial Union and the ARC; Spokes Grill (Silo), Silo Sushi Boba and at least one food truck at the Silo; Scrubs Cafe; Tercero Dining Commons and market; and Sage Street Market (UC Davis West Village).

We’ve compiled a list of what places will be open (and their schedules) and what will be closed. Note: Most of the food and beverage locations on our list will be closed for up to 10 days between the end of the quarter and the start of summer operations. Those days off include the Juneteenth holiday, Monday, June 19.
