About Arts Piazza
Arts Piazza is the University’s specialist coffee outlet, with a focus on barista-quality hot drinks, fresh grab and go and sweet treats.
In the morning you’ll find freshly made filled breakfast croissants and muffins, and throughout the day there’s a range of toasties and paninis ready to be heated up and served to eat in or take away. You’ll also find packaged sandwiches, salads, crisps, bakery items and more.
The café is partners with Social Impact Coffee – a specialty roastery on a mission to create a better world. Their model ensures 65% of the revenue from the coffee beans we purchase goes directly to support a local cause of our choice. Their beans are sourced through a directly traded model, ensuring farmers are paid above Fairtrade prices, while supporting sustainable and regenerative farming practices.
You’ll always find a mix of students, staff and visitors relaxing in between their work. A great place to take a break or catch up with friends.
