Learning Lab

Bruin Bodega.

A student-run campus market on Belmont Blvd, stocking alumni-founded food brands, student-made products and collaborations with local chefs.

Bruin Bodega is a vibrant campus market spotlighting alumni-founded food brands and serving as a launchpad for Belmont student entrepreneurs to debut their own CPG (consumer packaged goods) products. In partnership with Conexión Américas’ Mesa Komal kitchen, we also feature collaborations with local chefs to bring fresh, culturally diverse flavors to our shelves.

Whether you’re grabbing a snack or discovering the next big brand, Bruin Bodega is your go-to destination for fun, fresh, and community-rooted food — right in the heart of Belmont and open to all our Nashville neighbors.

The Bodega is one of the Cone Center’s two Learning Lab stores, run by students who handle everything from choosing what goes on the shelves to the marketing, staffing and finances behind it.
