The recently opened Hub Central on Adelaide Uni campus is a great place to study, meet and catch up, or just lie around on the fake grass covered blocks.
Grass Roots is the first cafe to have opened up in here (there are more coming by the looks of surrounding walls) and is a great uni cafe, with plenty of healthy and filling food at student-friendly prices.
They do a great range of fresh juices, smoothies, and non-dairy shakes. You can watch the fresh fruit going in and getting blended just for you.
They have a simple range of cakes, but a greater range of salads, quiches, focaccias and savoury pastry. My favourite is the frittata, which they somehow make really tasty without the help of bacon or any meat. Their spinach and feta filo triangles are also great value for money.
There's a small range of hot food, mostly something like a croquette and then some sort of main meal, often a lasagna, but it changes. I steer clear of their hot food because when you see it sitting next to salads and focaccias it looks even more unhealthy.
Their coffee isn't amazing but it's nice enough. It's also the only coffee in the vicinity, so does a pretty roaring trade. read more
