My Davidson | A Student Blog A Day in the Life of Nummit, Davidson’s On-Campus Coffee Shop

At Davidson, Nummit is a colloquial term for our on-campus, alumni-owned and operated coffee shop by Summit Coffee, home to a host of celebrations, student-led performances and a whole bunch of studying.

When the weather is nice you’ll likely see tables filled with students chatting and working outside. Even if it’s raining, Nummit is a popular place for students of all class years. Inside, the wooden tables, booths and light conversations give it a cozy feel.

Nummit is a great place to recharge, enjoy good company with friends, and indulge in coffee, avocado toast and other favorites, like seasonal lemonades.

Aside from students grabbing coffee or chatting, you’ll typically see students scattered inside and outside studying.

Nummit provides a productive coffee shop working environment right on Patterson Court circle, a hub of student life on campus.

On Wednesday evenings, Nummit is all about trivia.

Students from all class years come together to compete in teams, enjoy the food, and socialize.

Since Nummit always co-hosts trivia with assorted on-campus organizations, it’s a great opportunity to meet friends and learn something new.

Nummit also serves as host of many student gatherings.

In mid-April, the Union Board held their Frolics reveal party here, sharing drinks, snacks and paper crowns aptly designed to address the festival theme: the Renaissance.

Frolics is Davidson’s annual spring celebration weekend filled with concerts, bounce houses, food trucks and other outdoor events.
