I was going to eat off campus, but then I got hungry LOL. With my stomach rumbling, I had to find somewhere to eat, ASAP. Cause I get #hangry ;   It's going to feel so weird starting up after a 3 month hiatus lol! I took the winter semester off to go to asia with my mom, so now I have to make up for it by taking courses in the summer...boo!! So while everyone's sipping margaritas on the patio, I'm going to be sitting in a classroom writing lecture notes D:   I usually don't like eating on campus because 1. the options are really limited, 2. the food's generally overpriced and 3. Everything is pretty mediocre haha. But if you guys want to see more campus food, I'll gladly eat it for ya! LOL ;   I've never been to Only U Cafe, but it's one of the busier cafes (especially for brunch on campus! They're located near McDonalds, not too far from the bus loop! They're on the other side of the building across from Starbucks so you really have to look for it! Veggie Burger w/ Pesto Mayo Avocado $11.99 2.5/5 stars   This was okay. For the price, I could've gone somewhere else and gotten a better burger haha.While the patty was quite substantial, it didn't taste all that great, and the patty itself was a bit too mushy in texture and fell apart too easily.The bun was nice and soft, and there was a generous amount of pesto in there though with large chunks of avocado! :D Lots of avocado! :D Fries 3/5 stars   Man, I haven't had crinkle cut fries in forever lol! These ones were pretty good, crispy, soft on the inside and sprinkled with a salt/cayenne seasoning!!  (Click to Enlarge Banana Bread from Willingdon Church! $1.50 3/5 stars   Here's what I had for breaky yesterday! Every week I eat breakfast at church, I'm addicted to their pastries hehe. I'm pretty sure they make them in house, and they're pretty tasty!! Super moist and soft, with a ton of bananay flavour!

The staff here excels at providing excellent customer service, making you feel valued and appreciated. The food is delicious with a wide variety to choose from. The atmosphere is casual and straightforward. However, the standout aspect of this place is the exceptional service. I have dined here for two years and have consistently received top-notch customer service every time. The owner even offered my friends and me complimentary coffees when we came in the afternoon for breakfast. Overall, a fantastic restaurant.

This diner has a very homey and local feel to it. Located at the village on campus, this is a great place to have brunch. I got the pesto chicken and cheese panini $8.50) and loved every bite of it. The cashier asked if I wanted salad or soup with it and I chose Caesar salad for an additional $3, which I wasn't aware so I would have appreciated if he told me first. The veggies weren't very fresh and it came with one piece of dried carrot which seemed awkwardly out of place and unappetizing. A friend ordered the typical 2 eggs and bacons $8) which came with toast. Other than residences, this is the only other place on campus that I know will serve you eggs the way you want them. Their menu is extensive, with not only breakfast all day, but burgers and sandwiches as well. I would come here more often if the prices were slightly lowered which I believe it should as we're all students and there are so many other choices on campus. I could probably get a sandwich elsewhere for cheaper at the SUB.
