Sunrise Cafe At Kaiser Permanente Medical Center

The café is pretty small, but the smells of the food does draw you in. Came here for breakfast, and it had some pretty good options that you serve yourself. All the food looked delicious, but some of the condiments for fruits and toppings were in interesting places. Fruits and toppings were in an area where you have to bend down to add them, which seems unsanitary because little kids can reach them. Not to mention there is no sneeze guard or coverings for any of the fruits or toppings. I had the oatmeal which was pretty decent and standard. No thrills about it. The only reason why I gave this place 2 stars is because they penny pinch. Usually at other places that serve oatmeal allow you to add toppings for free, or at least up to a certain number. But I added some toppings like granola and chopped almonds, and the cashier got angry because you’re supposed to put the toppings/​fruit in a separate container to weigh them, pay for both, and then add it to your oatmeal. There was no sign that said to have them separated anywhere. Another example of their penny pinching is that if you want fried rice, you add them to another separate container so they can weigh it and you pay it separately rather than a set price like everything else.
After this experience, probably would drive down the road to some diner or restaurant rather than eating here. They might have terrific food, but with the penny pinching you might want to explore different options.

Luke warn entrees. Rice with the crusty bits scraped off the sides and bottom of the pan, served by someone who appears to be having a bad life. Yum.
Two stars (as opposed to one) for the fast food in the warmers, Kuerig coffee and the smiley (regular) cashiers.

This hospital cafeteria has really reasonable prices. A mini plate (which is basically a regular sizes plate filled with 2 sides and an entrée) is only $ 4.00 or you can opt out for a Healthy Choice meal for a little more than $ 5.00.
Has a different array of stations: Salad Bar, Pastries (my favorite), drinks, Soup bar, etc.
The staff is extremely helpful and nice. I like their Ice Cream machine which I thought was a nice touch. A really nice cafeteria in my opinion!

For a hospital cafeteria, the prices are very fair, food is tasty and the portions are fairly large. The pancakes are HUGE for what they cost.

Food was okay, variety of food was great, and service was even better! Thursday, the menu offered American, Italian, and Cuban cuisine. Staff offered a taste of entrée’s before making a selection. The vending machines in the café is great as well, loved the ice cream machine!
