Cafeterias near Santa Monica, CA

“I would give this 10 stars if 10 stars were available. Excellent food, service, atmosphere, and always a pleasure to have any mail throughout the day. They have a fabulous breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Miss Monica is the greatest! Plenty of indoor and patio seating or you can take it to go.
I dine here regularly because it's open to the public and I think that's a wonderful thing. Give it a chance!“

“I was at smc for the fireworks show. From just walking in, the security were friendly and quick to search the things I brought for my group.I wasn't super early and there were already a lot of families establishing their grounds for the night. There was a lot of room. The mc and band that played kept the energy up, really setting the tone. The show itself was great. A ton of fireworks.Parking was great too.“

“My guests and I had such a wonderful event. The food was good. The service was good.“

“Wonderful décor, excellent food, and an amazing staff. If you’re ever in Westwood you have to come try this place.. Try the Ruben sandwich or a salad with their homemade Ranch Dressing. I’m had one of the best the grilled cheese and ham sandwiches ever! Thank you to the staff for a fun lunch time and, yes, I finished all the tots and had a clean plate except for the two toothpicks. 😀“

“Rende east is way more consistent quality wise. West will either taste excellent or you’ll have cold spots, poorly wrapped burritos and crap portions and distribution. One of the biggest upsides to Rende is its one of the few places u can order takeout with“

“Quick and convenient. The food is nothing special but it gets the job done. I got breakfast (see picture below) and I actually liked the cooked veggies (which aren't normally that good). I grew tired of the meat-potato combination very quickly (it almost gave me a gagging sensation).

I'm sure they offer better foods than what I chose. I appreciate that the offerings are healthier than average“

“As a Bruin alumnus, I have a civic duty to report that Covel Commons is in fact the best dining hall on campus. Not only is the food delicious and convenient, but they have consistent good pizza. Sometimes DeNeve has better pizza, but honestly Covel takes the cake for its consistent, good food, convenience and atmosphere.“

“I've visited this cafeteria more than a dozen time I believe .I haven't visited many hospital cafeterias in the U.S.,so,I can't really compare ,but it's a very nice cafeteria w good foods & snacks ! They've got some vegan options ,too. Hummus wrap at the deli ( they're closed on somedays I forgot which day ) & hot food from another one ,they have a different vegan dish everyday ! I had a vegan chicken cutlet w broccoli & pinto beans & steamed rice ? ? 2 days ago & it was very good w a vegan gravy !!They have kind bars & Nature's Bakery fig bars & Justin peanutbutter chocolate cups ,etc ,too !! My favourites !!But,not always ,it seems . There are lots of tables / booths !! The services are between o.k. to good . I spoke w a supervisor a while ago ,she was very nice & helpful ,the cashiers are always very nice !! But,some workers who are cooking foods aren't so nice ! Lol. They rarely smile ! They've also got a salad bar & pre-made cold dishes you can grab .Some sushi & a waffle maker in the mornings !! Bagles ,Danish pantries, etc. Chips ,so on. Good tea selections & some coffee.“

“I am honestly of big fan of the hospital cafeteria. My favorite go to is the salad bar which offers a wide selection of vegetables (breakfast time is fruist with oats etc.) and they rotate the pasta salad daily (Wednesday is Thai noodles and Tuesday is couscous). Other than that, the lunch deli is always on point, and for breakfast the hotplates our swapped out for eggs, sausages, and belgian waffles. They now offer the impossible burger as well (vegan plant based patty).“

“Great mini-cafeteria on the 1st floor of Centinela Hospital. Daily lunch specials from Monday to Friday. There is one dedicated chef to this mini-cafeteria and he makes bomb lunches for the nurses. Also, a great alternative to the 2nd floor cafeteria.“
