The guys that work done there are great and so is the food. They will pretty much make you want you want and how you want it as long as they have it. Funny and professional personalities, having any meal down there is a good time and never disappointing. Honestly, way more than I expected out of a small cafe.

If I could give 0 I wouldn't even give them that many stars. The "owner" is absolutely horrific. When I first came to the area I was actually warned by a coworker not to go down there but I didn't listen. The first time I ordered breakfast I requested my home fries to be well done or crispy. She literally scooped up this watery giant chunks of raw potato and barely heated it up on the grill. I didn't say anything thinking she must've been confused I always give chances sometimes people have bad days. The second and last time I went I ordered the same breakfast and ordered the potatoes to be well done or crispy instead of the large watery chunks of raw potatoes I got last time. She did the same thing barely heated them and threw them in the Styrofoam. We got to the register I opened it and said can you please cook these until they are crispy, she said NO! I said excuse me? this is my food and I can request it how I want it cooked. She said NO they don't get crispy I have been here for X years and they don't get crispy.I said yes they do I worked at a diner you just have to leave the potatoes on the grill and they will cook and get crispy. She said no again, I asked for a manager and she said I am the OWNER, to which I responded that's even WORSE. Then I said if you cannot cook MY food the way I request it then I ain't taking this food and I ain't paying for it. She said fine and I haven't returned. Many people in the building have requested that she be removed because she is so awful. I know so many people in the building who won't eat there because of her and her food sucks.

It's a little hidden, in the basement of the building. But, the food is fantastic and the staff is extremely friendly. They're fast and it's reasonably priced. Definitely go!

This is a little cafeteria shop located in the basement. Every week day, they serve breakfast (hot food, bagels, etc), and lunch (hot food - menu changes daily, assortment of sandwiches...). There is also a salad bar, snacks, and homemade things like yummy hummus (a whole container for $2.25, with pita bread!). The chicken salad sandwich and the hummus were my favorite. Yes, you can get sandwiches for $3-4. Go to their website to see the daily specials. Lucy, the owner/your cook and server, is really friendly. She also set up a free book swap! You can go and get any of her wonderful paperback books, and leave some in return. A free library with no due dates! There are cafeteria type tables to eat there, but most people do take out. Cheap, fast, and friendly. YAY!
