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.

Its kind of strange that they put google reviews of the walls but it is a worthwhile study spot ?

Best place to eat on campus. They have bagels, sandwiches, drinks, coffee, and a nice atmosphere to sit and study in. I always like the music and the treats they have are great. The signature fudgies are amazing! its like a fudge bar cookie combo and if you havent had one yet you need to. only issues I have are that it can get busy and they aren't open on saturdays.

Atmosphere here is great, the people are nice, but the sushi is wicked. Stay away, I had 2 pieces of the spicy shrimp sushi and spent 2 hours at the student health center. Please do not eat the sushi anywhere on campus or you’re in for a wild food poisoning fest. Other than that I could come back for a coffee after I recover.

The best period. This cafe never fails to exceed my expectations. A mix of consistency and quality ingredients make Stevenson cafe the best place to eat on campus, possibly in all of santa cruz. Your wallet will also be happy as their signature sandwiches are a little over 5 dollar. I have been going here for almost four years and will continue to be a loyal customer, thank you.
lots of good options to spend flexi dollars on here, also a good spot to study with decent wifi and chill(usually) music and vibes. They have other stuff like sushi and pastries as well as coffee and the usual assortment of cafe drinks.

A great place to relax or stud on the east side of campus.

The Stevenson Coffee House is one of my favorite coffee shops on campus. The staff is very friendly and I am always greeted with a smile. They never messed up my order. If you visit the University of California Santa Cruz, make sure you stop by here for amazing coffee.
