Its decent if you want a sandwich yogurt or even a personal pizza. The price is a bit expensive.

It's great nowadays (as Harvest Bagels). Reliable and tasty. The bagels are amazing, hot fresh and well made. The people who run it are nice, especially the lady who takes orders. Not expensive, especially compared to other campus food. I would say it's well priced for the quality. Probably the best place to get a quick breakfast/lunch between classes, since the food carts and other vendors are inconsistent.

Good, healthy sandwiches. You can customize your meal. I just wish there was a clear menu that told you your options and the prices.

Admittedly, I don't know a whole lot about coffee but I got the regular iced cold brew and it was delightfully smooth. The owner was friendly, had an interesting backstory, and the space was cozy and had the fascinating cold brew drip towers.
