They catered our APSI for the last four days. I'm very impressed with the quality, variety, and sensitivity to dietary needs of all customers. It's unusual to see such a high level of culinary arts in meals for summer school. Thank you for making our stay at San Diego University so much better.

Super friendly staff, fairly priced and healthy options. Pretty good coffee too! My favorite spot on campus and super close to the business school.
