Instead of handing my black coffee that was already brewed in to the cup, she acted busy trying make hot food and handing over to customer that came after me. Looked back at me waiting my hand and did not care - not sure if she is racist. Other garls when i asked about my coffee, they had to brew fresh coffee again!! Some good people. Lot of other fast food. Free parking on weekends..”

This cafeteria is part of the Stanford Graduate School of Business and is apparently where all of the b-school eager beavers refuel on sustenance. ? I particularly appreciated the, oh-so-clever, names that accompanied each of the food stations. ? Haha, you can totally tell this is where all of the MBA people hang out! Definitely get lunch here if you're in the area!”

    “The EVGR Pub, which is on campus of Stanford University, is the great equalizer for the Palo Alto Area. It is a mecca for all ages, stratification, education, and diaspora. In addition I would challenge you to find better prices for pub-like food. My advice is to use alternative transportation as parking is challenging. Stanford is best experienced on a bike or walking 🚶‍♂”

    “Stopping here for coffee while walking around Stanford was a really enjoyable experience. The location itself feels special because you are surrounded by one of the most impressive university atmospheres in the world. Even a simple coffee break somehow feels more inspiring when students around you are studying, discussing projects, and casually living inside such an academic environment. We joked that we probably are not smart enough to take a class here, but we were definitely smart enough to stop for coffee and admire the people who do. The students around the campus genuinely give the place a unique energy. They seem focused, talented, and motivated, and it is hard not to respect the atmosphere they create. The coffee was good, the service was smooth, and the location made the whole visit much more memorable than a regular Starbucks stop. Five stars for the coffee, the campus feeling, and the chance to briefly pretend we belonged at Stanford.”

Today, I tried their salad for the first time, and I have to say, this place is a hidden gem for salads. The signature avocado salad is incredibly tasty! unlike anything I’ve had elsewhere, and I keep craving it. It feels healthy and fresh, too. All the cookies are great as well. I’m so happy this cafe is close to where I work!”

    “Cute cafe on Stanford’s campus. I loved the ample outdoor seating options! I got a burger which came with chips. It was good, but the burger patty could have used a little more seasoning in my opinion. The burger was also a bit pricey for the portion size you are getting, but that’s Stanford generally, so do not hold them against it. Staff is very kind & accommodating.”

    “I was meaning to write this last week, but a few days ago I went to visit Stanford University and I came across this cafe. The cashier at the time (whose name is Jose) was so nice and helpful with my order. Not only did he recommend a great food and drink item but he also informed me about the rewards system and he helped me go through the process step by step. I don't normally write these types of reviews, but I wanted to spend an extra minute out of my day to do this because I could tell he works hard, and good service can be quite hard to come by these days. This made my visit to Stanford very pleasing and I cant wait to go back! Thank you for taking the time to cater to me, Jose!”

After done eating, you need to bring your own plates to the collection trays. Good place to grab something if you're on campus but too far away from the tresiddor union. There are not many places open on weekends. This is one of those.”
