I've been here a few times before and tried a couple of items. I had a simple avocado ? toast. This Cafe has 3 different Avocado toast options which is great but, it's a distance from my office. I have to be willing to walk around our consistent campus construction to partake of this menu and today's the day. In the past, I wasn't eating meat for a while so, I had the basic avocado toast with everything but, the bagel seasoning. It's good but, definitely something you can...read full review

Scrubs East Café is a convenient on-campus spot near UC Davis Medical Education Building, offering quick bites for visitors and staff. The café provides a variety of vegetarian options, including veggie burritos, veggie sandwiches, and pastries, along with several avocado toast choices that are popular among regulars. The avocado toast is often praised for its simplicity and quality, with some versions topped with sliced boiled eggs, chopped bacon bits, and bagel seasoning, making it a satisfying breakfast option. Other menu items like the turkey pesto sandwich are described as decent, heated, pressed, and somewhat filling, while the chicken fajita melt tends to taste more mediocre. Smoothies such as cocoa banana and triple berry are refreshing, especially during hot days. Customers appreciate the outside tables, which comfortably seat around five people and provide enough shade.
Prices can be higher than expected for some items, but the café remains popular due to its proximity to outpatient clinics and the Medical Education Building. The café is not a place one would leave the house for, but it offers decent food for a quick stop. Parking can be challenging, with limited on-site options and a walk across construction sites to reach the café. Despite some criticisms about the prices and the limited hours—closing at 2 pm—the café's quality, especially the pear salads and coffee, has been appreciated. Overall, Scrubs East Café is a reliable, modest eatery that serves good, straightforward food, mainly favored for its convenience and the effort put into some of its menu items.
