The Cafe @ LKSC

I got the baked salmon. It was not salty so I was happy about it. The staff was nice, too.
However, I didn’t like their Starbucks coffee because it didn’t taste the same as the coffee at an independent Starbucks store. The espresso was noticeably sour. If you are getting a sugary drink, it won’t matter because the syrup will cover up the bad taste. Also, I ordered my drink the same way I do at another Starbucks. Espresso in a bigger cup for space for milk or water depending on the bitterness. The cashier was telling her co-​worker that customers can’t tell them what to do with their drinks in Spanish and English. Maybe she was training him, but it was not nice because I was standing right there waiting for my drink. You will lose customers if you keep doing that.

It’s convinent place if you work in the medical area, but limited choice.
Starbucks is nice, but they don’t accept Starbuck card, which I don’t like it.
Not reasonable price.
It’s good to open at 7 and serves breakfast.

I’m not much of a coffee drinker so I can’t review the coffee here. My guess is that it’s probably good as any other place. The food is here is fit for consumption. They don’t have the best of selections but it’s different because they change their selection everyday. You serve yourself from a buffet style food burner so the food sits out for a while but it’s not bad. It can get a bit pricey because they charge you by the ounce. If you want to go the cheap route they sell slices of pizza, which is reasonable. They also have prepackaged sandwiches and salads but I think they are overpriced in my opinion. The best thing about this place is that the servers are always cheerful and very friendly.

I’m not a big eater so I love the pay-​by-​weight entrees, esp. the vegetarian options! For the same price I’d pay for a bowl of soup at Clark Center, I can have a satisfying lunch or dinner of rice, tofu and veggies.
Minus one star for charging different prices for students/​staff and non-​affiliates. But, for the location and inventive hot entrees, it’s still my favorite.

This place is supposed to offer Starbucks drinks, albeit with a truncated menu, but alas, they do not take Starbucks cards, which is really annoying. They do however, have their own little stamp card for regular customers. If you manage to collect 10 stamps, your 11^th drink is free. Usually they’re pretty nice about that and encourage you to size-​up for your free drink.
The breakfast food is not bad, though if you waltz in at 10am expecting there to still be food, good luck. My best characterization of the lunch food = mush. It’s not terrible, and sometimes can be halfway decent, but it doesn’t LOOK appetizing, which is kind of a turnoff. Also, they charge by weight, and I still have not figured out how much they charge per ounce. Woops. Pizza by the slice is cheaper here than at Nexus, though.
The people who work here are usually pretty nice unless they have a ton of customers in line, in which case they start to get stressed out and can be kind of curt.
tl;dr: Nice place for a coffee break, but would probably avoid the food.

The ladies working there are lovely! The food (for this type of establishment) is pretty good. I wish they changed the sandwich and salad selection though every couple of months, it gets boring after a while.

Not much selection. The sandwiches they do have are nasty. Rather expensive.

The coffee is fine, but the one time I ordered tea the hot water seemed like it came from a coffee carafe. No amount of steeping tea can cover the flavor of old, burnt coffee.
Another time I was in a hurry, so ordered a drip coffee. The cashier said they were making it and it would be a few minutes. She said I could have an americano for the same price, which seemed reasonable. Well, it took a few minutes for my americano and by time I got it the coffee had been ready for a few minutes.

They give away free food on Friday evenings! I don’t know if they do this anymore but they did for the first few months since they apparently tend to over-​order and they need to give away all the food over the weekend.
Convenient location for food and coffee. I like their yogurt parfaits or Greek yogurt for breakfast. Prepackaged sandwiches and sushi are very meh. Can’t go wrong with a salad. I give this place a 3 pretty much just because it’s convenient and I’m too lazy to wait in line for Lutticken’s sandwiches at CCSR.

If you are on campus and need to grab a quick cheap snack, come here!
Items that I have tried:
–I prefer the taste and price of their pizza’s over Nexus Café’s; it is $ 2 a slice here (vs $ 4 @ Nexus) and not as greasy!
–Stay away from their scones, the texture is awful.
–I love their danishes especially the blueberry cheese! The blueberry cheese danish is a guilty treat and not a light snack! It’s like having a large slice of blueberry cheesecake and only for $ 2!
–Their coffee is okay, you’re better off going to Peet’s or even the Beckman downstair’s bistro.
–The hot foods that they sell for by the ounce are not worth trying! Often they lack flavor and are much too expensive! $ 9 bucks for mash potatoes and a little bit of chicken?! Go to Nexus for hot foods, you’ll be happier.

if you need a quick sandwich or salad for ~$ 6 come here. even though pre-​packaged, musta been made fresh recently since all the ingredients were still good, pesto southwest grilled chicken salad — always glad to see healthy things promoted around medical campuses.

This is a terrific café. I am a vegan and this café always has many vegetarian and vegan options (as well as meat and fish options). Yesterday for lunch I had their spinach soup (delicious) and their lima bean tofu entre that was also fabulous (the tofu was served in a meat-​like form in a delicious sauce). In all honesty this lunch was way better than the vegan food I have had at one of San Francisco’s best vegan restaurants. Highly recommend this café. The staff are all very friendly and helpful too.

This was the first place I went to for lunch because it was close to where I was stationed. The staff is very friendly (I mean it, the best staff ever!) and the food and drinks are very reasonable. There’s also plenty of place to sit around both indoors and outdoors. Love it!

If I’m in the mood for some coffee, this is a great place to stop by. They have a good selection of bake goods as well and a stocked «lunch» section with sandwiches, yogurt, and sushi. There’s also hot food items that look really yummy, but super expensive. I really want to try their curry, but they sell it by the ounce which makes your meal to be around $ 8 – 10 for a smal box.
If you’re looking for a hot lunch I suggest going to Nexus because you’re get more for your dollar.

Cheaper food than Nexus, and less greasy (usually). I also like how they have breakfast sandwiches, and sometimes serve ethnic food for lunch. The staff is also super friendly.
Bonus star because I love their soups — especially the chicken and ginger rice porridge/​congee type thing. =)

New café opened last week. Staff is friendly, pours a great shot of espresso, and the food is affordable and decent. Cheaper prices than Nexus, and MUCH better coffee than the Pete’s in Clark or *shudder* Alway Café.
