One of the best places to get lunch on Stanford campus! Good mix of salads, sandwiches, and pizza on offer. I've enjoyed each thing I tried from them, and have gotten coffee and pastries from here often as well.

Always fresh and delicious food. Prices are reasonable as well. Super tasty soups, plus the bread they include is wonderful.

Cafe near the Electrical Engineering department. Convenient location to meet for a coffee and chat. They also have burritos for breakfast which were pretty good. Their vegetable soup was ok. Price is not too bad. Overall a fine place to meet with friends.

Salad is not very filling without adding protein. Great unsweetened matcha latte.

Good to refill your thermos with coffee, and maybe for breakfast (decent breakfast burrito). Line gets a bit long for lunch--it moves fast, though.

It is ok, but the prices keep going up. I would suggest a salad or pizza. The special is decent but is bland at time.

Ordered a Roasted Turkey Sandwich like I have for the past 6 years. Didn't taste right. Opened it up and found pink meat. Kind of tasted like ham. Asked about it, was told its smoked turkey. This doesn't seem right; it's usually the normal white roasted turkey, not this salty/sweet meat. Maybe only I have had this issue, but the quality of this sandwich has been going downhill. The cheese is thinner, the portion size is different each time, and now the taste is different. I no longer recommend this item at it's current state.

Ordered a pizza online at 10:30, order said it would be ready in 15 minutes. I have work at 11. At 10:52 I asked the cashier if my food would be ready soon. She said they wouldn’t even start making it until 11 because that’s when lunch starts. But I couldn’t even order breakfast on the online menu, because according to the system breakfast was over already. Obvious I had to go to work without my food, and it was too late for me to get anything else.

Even though it was already overpriced, now they have further increased prices without improving their quality. Sandwhices are ok, but for almost $10 each they are quite plain and small. Moreover, all sandwiches come with a very disappointing pasta salad that has the only purpose of making the box look less empty. Avoid whenever possible. There are several better and cheaper options on campus.
