My friends and I grab our drinks here during lunch almost everyday. The service is great service, hot food is good, and the baristas are really friendly.Maria, Joselyn, Jhonny, Daniela, and Joy. There are a couple more baristas but I can’t recall their names.

Good peanut butter overnight oats but very expensive

I like their menu and have a few favorites. Try the fish. Staff are nice and their hours are very convenient.

Unfortunately, this cafe has been going downhill for some time now. Back in 2016, they used to offer better tasting food and were more innovative in their daily menu selections. They also used to charge less. So cheaper food and better quality. During summer 2016, they will have a BBQ special almost weekly where you would pay $12 and you get BBQ meat with fruits, sides, chips, and soda. They don't do that anymore. It's almost as if management has changed and they gotten lazy. This is very disappointing since I remember when they were good. Anyhow, I still come here during the days they have salmon. I'm glad they still offer this, since it's the only good thing they have left.

There is a new chef who has been making some decent food lately. The price per meal is a bit steep, but I suppose that's what you get on campus.

So the Med Cafe offers Starbucks brewer coffee. What's nice is it's just not exclusive to Stanford Staff or Students. The barista was extremely friendly and when I asked for one of my Starbucks fav, iced Carmel macchiato and today since I feel brave, low on sleep, midterms and have a 10 hour shift ahead of me I asked for total of 5 shots. He asked if I was a post-doc; I wish, but informed him I was attending school and it's midterm week. Say no more! He even gave me a a grande cup with just ice. Coffee is strong just like I need it and perfect. I will admit I used the additional ice in my water cup, but the gesture was not over looked. They do have foodies so if you need a quick bite it's there. Wonderful little gem in the Li Ka-Shing building.

excellent restaurant, a little small, serving deliciously cooked food and Starbucks beverages at affordable prices. does not accept cash however, unfortunately.

Conveniently located but has limited options and small portions. Easy to grab some food quickly. Great open hours.
This is a great cafe to show off your new blue outfit. If you pretend to be a student you get discount!!!

I work at the Stanford campus and when i don't bring lunch from home, this is my Go To place! All their food is GOOD very authentic if your looking for Mexican food. They have a variety of options to choose from (Mexican dishes, popusas and deli bar) My Favorite is the "Aztec Salad". Amadeo and the cooks are the best!!! Highly recommend it! And they Cater

By far the best cafe on Stanford Campus! The Good - Great selection of food (Parfait and breakfast food in the morning, salads, and sushi rolls, soup and hot food for lunch. They are also doing Summer BBQ specials where you get two entrees, a beverage and dessert for a fixed price) - Delicious food (I've tried their breakfast, hot lunches, soup and boxed salads. Everything was delicious and much better than what you would expect from a college café and A LOT better than the dining halls.) - Limited edition Starbucks menu (they have limited Starbucks beverages available, anything from coffee to white chocolate mocha and iced tea. A great place for a quick pick-me-up) - Different menu every week (They post the hot food menu on FB every week. They are always doing something new) - Friendly and quick service (All the staffs are super friendly. They are pretty fast at making drinks as well) - Outdoor Seating (although the outdoor seating do fill up pretty quickly during lunch time.) - Very reasonably priced (I love their Salmon salad, which is only $6.75. You can get a salad and a bowl of soup for under $10.) The Bad - Crowded during lunch time (everybody from the building come here for lunch, so it's really busy from noon-1pm. Best to avoid lunch time if possible) - Hard to Park around LKSC (There's a tiny parking lot in front of the building that's always full unless you are here at 6 in the morning.)

Hit and miss, sometimes the food is good, but often it's not. Today they had fish and chips, the fish was burnt (over fired and dry) on top of that the food was cold. If you are going to charge the Stanford Community more than Whole Foods your quality of your product should be superior. Additionally, lines are often long, not the best place to go if you want to grab a quick bit to eat.
