The Midnight Grind (TMG) is a student-run, late-night cafe located on-campus at UC Davis, created to meet students' need for a safe and welcoming space after dark to study and socialize. Our team of over 50 dedicated volunteers-executive board, officers, and host members-work together to provide one of the few spots for healthy nightlife in a town where nearly everything closes by 8PM.
At TMG, we support students academically and holistically to do their best work and create a positive impact on the world. We are motivated by our belief that each of our guests have a unique ability to do good in the world, and we believe in championing them to live our their lives healthily and purposefully-no matter what time it is.
