Healthy Cafe?

by lucinoor

Although the variety is intriguing and gets you in the door, the name belies the menu. I am not comfortable with places that do many things moderately well, but no one thing very well.

The 'Cafe' tries to be everything to everyone, and lacks focus. It's a cafeteria more than a Cafe. It attempts to make Lebanese, Asian, Mexican and other cuisines but lacks authenticity. Better to decide what you want to be, and be that to Excellence.

• Pros: A huge variety of ethnic dishes
• Cons: No single specialty, no real evidence of focus on "Healthy"

Yummiest food in the neighborhood

by xyzproductions

For those of us who are students, finding tasty, nutritious food around campus can sometimes be difficult. Most places add too much salt and oil to their food. Julie's has great healthy sandwiches and salads and their Thai menu is also very good. My personal favorite is the chicken with broccoli which I ask them to light on the sauce (which can sometimes make it too salty). The service is great and the ambience is conducive to hanging out with friends or just eating alone.

• Pros: healthy, inexpensive, flexible on orders
