  This is a good spot for grab and go, depending on what you get. I like their soup and sandwich combo it's a good deal.
  Tip: if you're just getting soup, get it in a 12oz cup instead of a bread bowl. They give you bread anyway and in the bread bowl you only get like 3 oz, so you're meal is a lot of soggy bread.
  Salads are pretty good and sandwiches are ok.
  The highlight here is the build your own smoothie. They have different frozen fruits then you can add things like chia, flax, agave, ginger etc then add ice cream of fro yo if you want. You can also add protein but it's 75c extra. They're yummy and filling!

  I highly recommend the breakfast bowls and smoothies at bcafe. The breakfast bowl is a good way to start your day. There are a lot of different things you can put in the bowl such as eggs, brown rice, bacon, chorizo, tomato, spinach, cheddar cheese, and etc. I really like how you can put whatever you want in your smoothie and how there's a lot of different ingredients you can choose from. But if that's too much work, you can always choose one of the smoothies on their menu. I usually get the very raspberry.

  I asked for almond milk in my white chocolate latte, and as soon as I tasted it I knew it was dairy. I was already gone before trying the drink, so it was too late to ask for them to remake it. I decided to drink the latte anyway, and it tasted stale and flavorless, I realized later, after finishing some of the drink that they didn't mix in any of the powder and there just a giant block of flavoring sitting at the bottom. Absolutely disgusting.

  Kinda expensive for a on campus cafe.
  
  Seafood soup's not bad. Roasted beef sandwich is too cold that hurt my teeth.
  
  "Kids" outside appear to be happy, but their conversation makes me wonder if I was that stupid once. Well, pretty sure I was.

  Even with Hedrick Study sandwiches, I still strongly prefer the hot toasted sandwiches from BCafe, especially the BBQ brisket one.
  
  In peak hours, especially when dining halls close at 2pm, you will notice a spike in the number of students going to the quick service restaurants, making the quick service restaurants be slow service restaurants.
