Café Trent is known for being one of the best spots on campus to grab a coffee and a bite to eat for a really good price. With lots of tables available (indoor and outdoor), you can enjoy a quiet drink or take in the river view on a sunny day.
But you may be thinking, where is it? Don't worry, we'll take you through how to get there so you don't miss it!
How to get to Café Trent from Portland Building
Portland Building is at the centre of University Park campus - a great place to find anything and everything.
📍Start at Portland building's south entrance.
Turn right and walk up East Drive, past Portland Coffee's outdoor seating area, until you reach a set of stairs on the left facing the river. Make sure you cross the road carefully.
Walk down the stairs and turn right. Keep walking until you reach the Café Trent doors - you've made it!
Now you can enjoy a cup of coffee, a tasty lunch and start writing your assignment next to the river! If you want to check out our other food outlets, see where you can eat on campus.
