My mom was in the hospital at the mangurian building, and the hospital ran out of sandwiches for the patients since my mom had a late appointment. In which that's understandable so I conveniently came to the restaurant downstairs and they had put away all their food at 4:30 pm and the oriental woman working there said all they could sell me was salad.. Now that got under my skin, that's why I gave the 1 star. I guess they just wanted to leave at exactly 5:00 but it did not do me & my mom any good.

Several visits over a few days and consistently 5 star! Great option if you’re at MC. Prices are low, check out my Turkey club flat bread for under $7 (pic). Nice variety of quality food, coffee, bevs, smoothies, and grab-n-go snacks. ?? outside patio seating a bonus. Highly recommend.

This cafe has changed location to the Mangurian building. The food choices are limited but fantastic. The prices are very reasonable. I love the bowls, which you can make your own or get one of their preselected ones. All of them are good. You can also get smoothies, coffee, pastries, sandwiches, salads, or choose from their frozen sections with varieties of drinks and pre-cooked meals which you can heat up. Overall, very good for hospital food.

Amazing food, with equally amazing staff. I love eating here.
I have eaten at this cafe several times! The food is excellent especially the hummus and pita bread and frutta bowls!
The employees are wonderful! The cafe is very clean and the food is great! I highly recommend the Woodruff Bistro in the Manchurian Building at Mayo!!!???

I was so excited to find out about a cafe that served vegan bowls and kombucha at the Mayo Clinic. Ordered a bowl with ancient grains, black beans, avocado, bok choy and edamame. All hot things were just reheated and overcooked in I’m assuming a microwave?
I ate the avocado out of the bowl and threw the rest away. Disappointing...heading over to salad bar once again in the Davis Bldg.
Oh...and the Kombucha....they stopped selling yesterday.

We were delighted with this great little bistro over in the Mangurian bldg. We had delicious DIY bowls with greens and cruciferous veggies over mixed grains the first time, and Acai bowls on another day. It's great to see hospitals starting to catch up with medical science...even if they still have a ways to go.
This place is much better than the Standard American Diet (SAD) cafeteria in the Davis bldg.
Watch out, the staff does not understand vegan. They put pita bread with cow cheese on top of my bowl. They do understand allergies though, so you might want to claim an allergy to animal products if you're vegan.
OK for breakfast
