IT'S NOT WORTH IT. Worse than the dining halls. Most bland, soggy, overpriced bagel sandwich I've had in my life. Cashier didn't even know what was in them and started guessing instead of just taking the thing out of the case to check. Terrible service, terrible food, terrible price. Works if you're starving such that you can't crawl to the bookstore for a bag of chips. Maybe try eating the books at the library instead.

Definitely the worst food option on campus. The staff is absolutely incompetent and the food is terribly overpriced. I am not exaggerating when I say I waited in line for a whole hour

They serve avocado toast. This is the only place on campus that serves fresh food. You can tell that most of their ingredients are fresh. While the line is often 20 to 40 minutes long, the food here is astronomically better than almost anywhere else on campus. Compared to a restaurant, the food is average.Vegetarian options: Avocado toast

Really could be efficient but they chose not too. The line is impossibly long and they leave one cashier up there to die. I dont understand how students have an extra 45 mins to wait on a line that is circling the library just for simple bakery snacks and cheap coffee.

I got an iced vanilla latte- it was good and not expensive ($4.27 for a double shot). however the line to the register was pretty long (15 minute wait), although the drink came out quick once I had ordered it.

Super convenient and good food, but this place is dramatically understaffed. The line is never more than 15 minutes long and the drink itself will probably take another 15 to be ready. The student workers are always super nice, but the older managers/employees are insanely rude. They also have a bunch of weird rules and are strict about the stupidest things. Seriously needs more employees.

Again didn’t add the oat milk to an iced latte!! Happens frequently. Discomfort in stomach immediately while in the library.

Nice workers and I like getting -10% off paying with flexis. Only improvement I would encourage is for the UC to pay the workers MORE, as they are working just as hard as other café workers (if not, even harder!) but can NOT receive tips.

this place sucks. the food is overpriced, coffee is watery and sometimes they randomly don’t accept credit card (even though they’ll leave a sign up that says accepts credit card)

Great selection of avocado toast! I recommend an iced triple shot caramel latte with oat milk. Please check with baristas if they added your dairy free milk substitute if ordered.

The Mac and cheese was more oily than cheesy somehow

This place is literally amazing. Idk what these complainers are talking about. Get the breakfast burritos and the banana shake. It’s bomb . Com. No but seriously it’s Amazing. You won’t regret. If ya do, then ya craZy. It’s so good. Seriously!

This is a super stingy place with overpriced, mediocre-at-best food and really, really bad customer service.I agree with the other reviewers who have spoken of their stinginess - it's insane, and really reflects poorly on the business. I ordered a breakfast burrito here once, and asked if I could get it without potatoes (because they're always dry and gross) and just have egg and cheese. The guy told me they wouldn't substitute the lack of potatoes with anything extra. Seriously? Also, $2.50 for a side of avocado is ridiculous...I could buy two whole ones for that price.What really baffles me is how terrible the service is here. There is a young man, I haven't gotten his name, who regularly works the register, and is probably one of the laziest employees I have ever encountered at a food service joint. He stands behind the counter on his phone, and doesn't bother to look up or make eye contact when an order is being placed. The table where they keep the napkins, straws, hot sauce etc. is always filthy, with bits of trash and puddles of unknown liquid all over. It's gross, and would take 2 minutes to clean, but cell phone guy can't be bothered. Dude should have been let go at this point, so I'm thinking maybe he's a relative of the owners? Not sure, but this place could really use a revamp when it comes to both food quality and employee quality!
