The chicken sandwich is really good and can tell the ingredients are of high quality. Just the price is really high, 10.55 dollars for a sandwich. Ordered drinks from here a few times, coffee is ok and matcha is too sweet

The newest cafe on campus, in Haas' new building: Chou Hall. Great place to work and chill, although the food here doesn't really stand out very much, and is on the higher end of the price scale. Good for quick bites on the way to class.
For vegan options on campus, it's hard to beat the Budah Bowl. The pickled onions make the whole thing sing. The grab-n-go vegan Caesar is pretty good as well.
Good place to grab a snack between classes. Their fries are the best
Drip coffee pretty good. Slow serving speed.
Really nice space, coffee below average

The atmosphere is great, but prices are high. One significant note, I ordered the panko crusted fried chicken sandwich once before and it was pretty tasty. However, I ordered it again yesterday, and it was the only thing I had eaten that day, ended up with pretty bad food poisoning, vomiting all night, still really weak today. The chicken definitely seemed fully cooked, I'm not sure what happened, but I haven't been that ill in a long time. Again, it was the only thing I had eaten that day so I can't imagine it being anything else. Will absolutely not be ordering it again.

Not sure if the sustainability claim is just a cover to charge 12$ for a sandwich and 5-6$ for teas and lemonades. Feels like an airport when I drop 25$ on a sandwich and a large coffee or tea. Tastes pretty good though
Stopped by around 2 in the afternoon. Coffee on tap was acrid and cool (not even lukewarm). Line was quick however.

15 min to receive my coffee order when I ordered when no one else was there. 3 people ordered after me and received their orders first.
Avoid their third-party service, FoodWare To Go, a shady startup known for its con tactics. If you dine here, steer clear of this setup—they’ll hit you with a ridiculous $12 fee if you don’t return the container. This is especially tough for college students trying to get by in a recession and a bad economy.
This is not a sustainable cafe. They encourage you to bring your own thermos, but they still measure out coffee using their paper cups which they then proceed to throw in the trash. They also offer self serve (all you can drink) half and half, but soy milk (a more sustainable option) costs 85 cents extra. Additionally, the staff was rude and unprofessional. I will not be coming here again.
Charged me $1.25 for half a cup of water. I've never felt so ripped off in my life
