The food here is amazing. For pleasure food it certainly does excellent. There are healthy food choices here as well. I've eaten here for a week and the constant foods found here is cereal, burgers, pizza, fries, cakes, pudding, salad, boiled eggs, bananas, soup, waffles, icecream, fruit, greek yogurt, yogurt, soda, juices, smoothies, water and coffee. These things are served on their appropriate U.S. meal times. There are also dishes that come and go each day so there should always be something to feel refreshed about. I either might bot have been paying attention or I can say that I've never seen a food item run out in a day. There are a couple of "official" lines for things like special foods or sandwich making but other than that not too much lines. The place is moderately packed enough so that other lines for dishes pop up every once in a while when a good amount of people all wants to eat the same thing. O snap I thinK i reviewed this café already...
