Place isn't even open. Food is ok takes forever to get service usually waiting about 15 mins for a coffee and my order. Very white lgbtq everywhere

Really great food especially the tempeh sandwich. I love that it is locally sourced.

The fries are delicious, as is their salmon melt. It's seemingly genuine salmon, not something that comes from a package or can which is a plus. They have housemade pickles which are AMAZING. Some of the items are sort of pricey for their consumer base-- college students (not all of them have their parents paying for their education!) It gets super busy around 12pm-12:30pm so I'd recommend going early when they open! Overall, it's a dope place with good quick bites (provided they aren't busy)

Delicious food, wonderful service! Cash only, but there is an ATM just downstairs. I used to avoid eating here because somehow I’d gotten it in my head it was more expensive than the marketplace, when in reality, if you’re buying a whole meal and shop smart it can be pretty much the same. Plus, eating here is a great way to make sure your lunch money is going towards real, often local foods and to the Evergreen students employed here.Pro tip: they have donuts on Fridays! The flavor changes monthly, and they’re often unusual (not your run of the mill chocolate or maple glazed), but in my experience, they’re always amazing ?

Some of the rudest service and even adding cheese to fries was a hassle. They seemed hesitant even though they offer it. Asked for no sweet potatoes with their fries because usually they 50/50 it with normal potatoes but they just gave me the normal amount. But they do serve a danm good grilled cheese, seriously delicious.

Food is great but dont count on the hours. Healthiest on campus. Tasty too. But work ethic questionable. . If you want a healthy lunch , better bring it your own self..

For a place that prides itself in being employee-run and community equity focused, this place is pretty dismal. Consistency and portion size for anything except rice and beans is basically lacking. If the quality is going to be inconsistent, the value has got to be improved. As in, give a decent portion of food. The California Taco truck down the street costs less, tastes wayyyy better, and provides more food. This joint and its community mission statement can probably pull it together. The coffee is decent.

Really great food, really great place. The workers have been nothing but kind and welcoming to me and when they do close early, it's for a good cause that they are happy to explain to you. Love this place 💓

A bit slow and a bit pricy, but so welcoming and so worth it.
