    If there was as 3.5 rating, I would go with that. Since there isn't, round up! The food is hit or miss, as other reviewers have noted, and the coffee is likewise often par for campus dining. I am 100% certain that the regular brew coffee is made at below full strength (i.e., 6-8g coffee per 6oz water). I worked in a restaurant which served a large amount of coffee though, I get it. They don't do the measurements from the grinder. Only the breakfast burritos are appropriately priced, but sometimes their centers are still cold. Fun place to sit and watch international TV or meet up with folks though!

    Really hit or miss with service and food prep. When it's good, it's good. Other times, I might have to wait for a sandwich whose cooked fillings are still cold from the fridge. Still, I go.

    Hubbard & Cravens coffee in Hagerty Hall. I love sitting in the courtyard when the weather's nice. Good for studying!

    Standard fare of baked goods and other light prepackaged food. One of the only places on campus to brew Starbucks coffee.

    On many other occasions I've had very milky coffee from campus locations. This particular location actually gave me some of the best coffee I've had on campus

    Got two breakfast sandwiches ($4.25 each) and a milk tea. Love their breakfast options!!

    Considering how bad is food around campus, this is a little Oasis of just fine food.

    Great cafe! Highly recommend the nutty waffles, they were life changing

    The hours online are a lie. They don’t open until 7:45 so if you have an 8am class and best case scenario you are first in line, you’re only going to have about 10-12 min to eat and drink your meal.
