From Google Maps reviews.
You need to be a graduate student or specific faculty – or you know someone who is – in order to access to this spot. It is located inside the Graduate Student Center of Philosophy Hall. To the left of the entrance is where the cafe is located. You need an ID badge to enter. The inside the cafe was quite nice! Very high building, clean and modern. A good place for grad students to relax in peace and quiet. There is an ordering counter with baked goods nicely displayed. They also have sandwich,
The SIPA cafe is less crowded and the employees hate you less. Food is still awful though
I love love the food of this cafe. The atmosphere of all the employees is professional and sweet. Food is prepared well and the drinks are delicious. I love love Arianna, she always makes sure to make little hearts is my latte and is super sweet. No complaints what’s so ever. I’ve never had a problem with enjoying my lunch at the cafe area!!!
