Full-service café on the Main Level of the SFESOM building — locally sourced, made fresh daily
Café 521 is the full-service dining destination inside the Spencer Fox Eccles School of Medicine building, located on the Main Level adjacent to the south atrium entrance. Named for the building's location on the Health Sciences campus, the café serves students, faculty, staff, and building visitors Monday through Saturday with a rotating seasonal menu of made-from-scratch breakfast and lunch items, craft espresso drinks, smoothies, and fresh grab-and-go options.
The café partners with local Utah vendors and farms to source ingredients seasonally. Allergen information is available for all menu items at the counter and on the digital menu boards. Dietary labels indicate vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, and nut-free options.
