Latitude Restaurant

The food was lovely and fresh! Plus, I loved that the kids could eat as much as they wanted without having to pay extra. Lots of dinning options for vegetarians too!

a bit expensive but the food is good! they have pre-made sushi, made-to-order poke bowls, and hawaiian bbq. they also have mochi ice cream, italian gelato and snacks

The food is quite good and titillating. Feels decently open. Better than the dining commons. Unlike there I haven't seen anyone making out yet, might be a positive or negative for you.

It is a good area to have food and they have Indian food options also thats the best part

Good place with a variety of food choices. Can be busy depending upon the time.

Went here for the first time today. It's a bit out of the way of my classes but wanted to try it. It's not bad but I had the Fresh Potato chips with their Cuban and it was SUPER dry. It was also pretty busy. And not gonna lie, Segundo has more coffee options.

Poke was decently fresh and there was a large variety if toppings and sauces. Disappointed about the lack of salmon as a protein option.

Some days it’s decent, some days it’s mediocre to okay. Yes, you can eat a decent meal here, but if you don’t have a meal plan, I’d stop by someplace else.

Would change it to 4 or 5, but with covid the food variety has gone down. Quality is still good however and they give large portions

I like the vibe in this place but it is too crowded and the food is average.

It was really good when the school year just started, but it went downhill and the food is so disappointing now. It’s usually over cooked and repetitive options. It’s like they have the chef come in for 2 weeks and then he leaves and it all goes south.

No place to sit, poor/ choices lacking vegetarian options. Only thing that is good is the soda machine.

It's too salty, too light and too spicy. I hope they have tasted these dishes before they are released.

Latitude Restaurant ends up being a frustrating experience. While the space looks fine and the branding suggests quality, the food and value don’t deliver. Execution feels lazy, prices feel inflated for what you get, and nothing about the experience stands out in a positive way. It’s functional at best and disappointing overall. What makes it more irritating is how closely it mirrors my broader impression of UC Davis. Much like the restaurant, the campus appears polished on the surface but feels hollow underneath. Compared with other UC schools—UCLA, UC San Diego, UC Irvine, and UC Santa Barbara—Davis lacks the same level of rigor, talent density, and outcome-driven culture. There’s also an underlying atmosphere that prioritizes politics, hierarchy, and performative agreement over merit or substance. Progress often seems tied less to quality or competence and more to navigating bureaucracy, signaling the “right” attitudes, and pleasing the right people. For motivated or capable individuals, that environment can feel stifling rather than empowering. Latitude isn’t just underwhelming food—it’s symbolic of a place that settles for mediocrity while rewarding optics and compliance. In a UC system where stronger, more demanding environments exist, this one simply doesn’t justify the time, money, or expectations.

Latitude Restaurant looks nice on the surface, but the food is bland, overpriced, and often poorly prepared. It’s cafeteria-level quality dressed up to seem like something more — much like UC Davis itself. There’s a lot of hype, but when it comes down to the actual experience, it’s a major letdown. If this restaurant is supposed to reflect the campus’s global, progressive image, it’s doing a poor job. Save your money — both at this spot and, frankly, at the school if you're expecting top-tier standards.

terrible people running the market, fix your employees attitudes because god forbid they do their jobs food okay, the restaurant i have very little complaints
