    • While there is no café inside the building, we are located at the corner of Tate and Gate and are within a 3–5 minute walk of several cafés, restaurants, and other dining options. During the academic semester, Borough Coffee operates inside the Weatherspoon Art Museum Tuesday through Thursday from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Oden Brewing Company is also located next door and frequently hosts food trucks in addition to its beverage offerings.

We also host mission aligned programs curated by University and Community Partners.
