A great on campus coffee shop that offer non-transactional (free) food for all students and staff. Lots of the ingredients used are fresh from the farm that's located on campus. The food options depend on what the kitchen decides to make and it isn't always consistent when you come in. They offer meals, snacks, and desserts along with coffee, water, and hot water with tea bags. They have many options for vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, etc. The student workers should know what the meal has in it. The ambiance is nice but probably not the best place to get work done unless you don't mind working with others talking around you. Often times, I run into people I know here and will strike up conversations with those around me. Feels like a social environment for me but for others, I've seen them working, reading, studying, etc in here.

The only good thing at this place was the soda and ruffle chips everything else had no type of flavor.

I actually really enjoy the new “for the people's†Cowell coffee shop. Now they have free fruits and veggies that you can juice in the very new juicer. Besides that it's basically the same as it was. They also have “slug kitchen sessions†where they teach you to make tasty food.

My review is as a first time visitor to the campus. My daughter was a a summer cap here. I was overcome by the beauty of the campus. Sitting outside on a bench overlooking the sport field was majestic. The hot air and spicy earthen scents from the redwoods mixed with salty-tangy scents from delicate wafts of cool ocean air must be what heaven smells like. I wish I would have went to college here and I hope my kids choose to!

I loved it! Phenomenal professors, beautiful grounds, and nice apartments. I also enjoyed the chance to meet students from all over the country. I'm always telling people how much I loved my time there! In fact I'm gonna ask permission to come spend time on campus. I would like to maybe come reminisce. And I could bring a friend or two with me! I lived at both Kresge and Oakes, but ate all meals at Porter.

One of the best decisions of my life was to choose UCSC as my undergraduate school. I had the best professors: knowledgable, compassionate with very high expectations. My UCSC laid the foundation for me to succeed in my doctoral program in clinical psychology and my current career as an Associate Professor. I also established life long friendships with people who are more like family. Highly recommend!!

This is a good place to hang out and do homework and stuff if you can find a spot but it's a tiny place so it's sometimes to find a power outlet

Discounted Day-olds and yummy salads are my go-to's for this cafe.
