The new café at NDMU will sell official Starbucks drinks including cappuccino, iced coffee, teas, Frappuccino, lattes, café Americano, macchiato, espresso, seasonal drinks, flat white and more.

Will the new cafe accept Starbucks gift cards?

Since the new café is not a full-blown Starbucks, it will not have the capability of accepting Starbucks gift cards. Cash, cash cards and credit cards will be accepted. You can also use Flex Dollars!

Can I use my Starbucks app at the new cafe?

What else will be on the menu?

Lots of things including sandwiches, yogurt parfaits, fiber balls, salads, muffins, fruit, snacks and more grab and go items. Fresh dough pizza will be offered in the evening.
