    So, I'm going to be doing some work in the Federal Building for awhile. Cafe 450 is the cafeteria on the 2nd floor. It's not awesome and it's not awful either. It's just okay. Basic coffee and soda some sandwiches and quick pick up items. They do have cooks to make some hot dishes if you choose to pick off that menu but have some time. If you're grabbing a snack and drink there fast enough. Pick it and head to the smiling cashier and tap your card. There's plenty of room to enjoy your breakfast or lunch. A few windows to look out to the nicely graffitied walls across the street. Last words... I'll be back.

    #idk how school photos look nowadays. But they can never ever top the ones resembling Trapper Keepers with grids & lasers like Tron mixed with that one stage from TMNT IV on Super Nintendo. So this place had me at 80s neon signs. Rather standard buffet-ish / continental breakfast type digs but at per-item prices (with charts listing how many cents literally each piece of food is). More amusing than annoying... unless you pile up your lunch plate. Made-to-order hot foods are also straightforward, with daily specials and multicultural offerings (ex bibimbap). I had a ham & cheese sandwich made with French toast(!) instead of normal bread. Kinda tasteless but still cool that it exists here. Plus like ten coffee dispensers and a mountain of cups & lids. Thank you.

Truly, I marvel at their economy. The brisket was a bit dry. Maybe because I requested au jus instead of gravy? The baked potato was not super hot. The baked beans were delicious, no complaints. The portion is incredible. I would come here again and I'd like to try the round of beef. I love that you step up to the counter and just order whatever looks good to you. Service was very fast and friendly.

I was pleasantly suprised walking in, as I was greeted with a Warm, cozy rusticly decorated place full of charm . Immediately through the door to the right was a hof-brau manned by a gentleman ready to serve up whatever culinary delight you wanted to try. The place was peppered with tables, occupied by what appeared to be a heavy presence of regulars. Took a spot at the bar, and ordered a beer and a shot while my sister got a manhatten. Prices for happy hour were well within reason and the pour for the bourbon was quite generous. The barkeep was gregarious and engaging . I want to go back for sure and try the hof-brau. It gave me a similar vibe like the old sams in sacramento.

Each of the 40-some bites was made with precision and care , and with so many plates in the 2.5 hour meal, you're never bored and definitely will be super full so come with an empty stomach. This was our second time at Merchant Roots but the first was in 2019 when they first opened, so really glad to see their lovely new space and how dedicated they are to the experience. They only take 12 guests per seating so you feel very welcome and special. Highly recommend!

They have cold sandwiches, assortment of salads (I had a chef salad one day which was very generous with the deli Turkey & ham and the strips of two types of cheese plus a whole boiled egg for $8.99), cut fruits, simple pudding & parfaits desserts, and drinks in the self serve refrigerators & in the vending refrigerators. They have only two hot entrees but often also two soups or stew. The first day I went they had a Guinness stew which both my daughters really liked. Facility was very clean with hand sanitizer dispensers mounted on the wall. Lots of napkins, condiments, cutlery in the self serve station. Prices are reasonable. Be sure to check hours since they close early on some days.

The set-up is confusing. Staff is busy working at different stations. Am I ordering from them, is there a dedicated area for that? I got the poke bowl with shrimp. The shrimp had been sitting in a garlic or lemongrass broth but instead of imparting flavor, the shrimp was mealy and unappetizingly mushy. I got all the fixin's so I picked at the shrimp and ate the seaweed and some rice and put it aside. They have vegan and vegetarian options as well as pizzas and burgers though with fit 'n' trim medical staff conspicuously ordering brown rice, vegetables and tofu you might feel the eyes of judgment on you. If you want a break to sip some tea undisturbed while watching the world go by or grab something healthy to eat, you can find it at this cafe that is gently priced despite its convenience inside the hospital. 2.10 for the poke bowl (don't leave shrimp soaking in water, they get mushy) 3.15 for the behind the grill/station staff, they are kind but disorganized 4.25 for a beautiful, airy restaurant and understatedly solicitous staff
