I got the roast beef sandwich and the macadamia chocolate cranberry cookie for lunch. The cookie was super tasty. The sandwich was a bit sad. It had a lot of bread and not much meat inside. For breakfast I had their spinach and cheese pastry and that was good. Their yogurt and cereal was standard. This place seems to be a hit for students on campus.

I enjoyed the hot sauce bar, with 10 different sauces with varying heat to add a lot of flavour to your sub. I also grabbed a celebration cookie (sugar cookie with sprinkles), which was a little dry around the edges but nice and soft in the middle. The staff was professional and patient taking my order, and my sandwich was ready quickly. The restaurant was clean and the open layout was comfortable, but while it wasn't too busy on a Sunday when I was there, it seems like they could fit and use another table or two because I'm sure it's busier on weekdays and there's not a ton of seating.

The curries aren't what you'd get at a proper Indian or Thai restaurant but they're still very tasty. My favourite is the Shahi Paneer - love the heaping of thick, rich sauce - but all that I've tried are good. They have a regular and large size available, but the regular is plenty, especially if you add naan. You can get 2 curries in one bowl for no extra charge. The grilled veggie panini is also great, with fresh ingredients. Haven't tried the fresh sandwich bar yet because I love the curry/panini so much and always want to go back for more. The desserts are also really good. Some of the stuff seems to sometimes be available at some UBC food service locations so I guess it's not all made by them, but they have a few things I haven't seen elsewhere. There are a few things that are more snack-size, but most of the cookies/bars are huge. I have not tried their coffee but the tea they use is good quality. Gets super busy at lunch hour and it can be a little confusing to know where the line is because they have so many counters and it's crowded, but the staff is super helpful if you don't know where to go. Staff is friendly and usually pretty efficient. They've also been chill the few times that I've stopped in minutes before closing which has been much appreciated.

The food there was amazing and there was a HUGE variety to choose from along with many drink options and substitutions. The matcha basque cheesecake was heavenly to bite into with a mild matcha flavour that isn't too overpowering for those looking for their first matcha dessert to try. The pistachio cream donut was filled with creamy sweet pistachio filling with pistachios and glazed with a shiny pistachio icing that made bells ring in my ears when I took a bite out of the pillowy soft dough. The apple fritter was HUGE and very filling with nice soft pieces of apple and a piece of cinnamon heaven in every single bite. The peach iced tea was nice and soothing when paired with the oolong and not sweet at all for those who are looking for something to balance out the sweetness from the desserts. The service was also impeccable as the cashier was very friendly and all the workers had big smiles on their faces. When asking for extra plates to plate up our desserts, the staff member that supplied us the plates was kind and immediately brought us our plates. I recommend this little bakery spot to anyone in the Kits area after a nice day at the beach or something to hold them off while doing endless shopping along W 4th. The bakery is also open 24 hours for anyone having a late night craving for a hefty savoury sandwich or those looking for something sweet to start their day early in the morning. Overall experience was a 10/10 and will definetly be checking out the other locations in the Vancouver area.

This is a new food outlet in a new building at UBC that offers a quick shopping stop for just about…read moreanything. The ready-to-eat end of the store features sandwiches, pizza, salads, baked goods, a breakfast (AM)/salad (PM) bar, and a coffee bar. There are vegan options and gluten-free options. Most of the GF stuff looks to be actually safe for those who have serious gluten intolerance since it's in sealed packaging and appears to be made in an outside kitchen. I was looking forward to having somewhere new to go since I've spent many years involved with UBC in some way and frequented the heck out of most every decent cafe on campus. My first experiences have unfortunately been pretty lacklustre. Baked goods: The peanut butter chocolate chip cookie was super dry and crumbly. Chocolate almond biscotto was pretty good - crunchy but not brittle. The GF muffin was kind of dry (I get it, it's GF, but I've had GF muffins with great texture so I know it's possible) but was still okay. My biggest issue wasn't the muffin itself, it was that they had all the GF muffins in a basket together with no other labelling as to what kind of muffin they were and you couldn't really tell from looking, so I was making an educated guess as to what else would likely be in the muffin I was grabbing with the oats and seeds on top. It turned out to be cranberries which was good. Pizza: Vegan margherita wasn't bad because the crust was great and the vegan cheese was fine which is 2/3 of the equation, but the sauce was seemingly totally unseasoned which gave it a very cafeteria-like quality. Also there were like 3 1/2 basil leaves for the entire pizza. Sandwich: Got a tuna salad sandwich from the fridge. Again not bad but just an assembly problem. I really like the multigrain seed bread but the slices were a little too thick which made the sandwich very bread-y, and the tuna salad was lumped in the middle instead of spread out evenly so the outer bites of sandwich have nothing between the bread. Drinks: Good, I think. I tried a matcha latte with spiced brown sugar syrup and a decaf americano. The matcha was a little clumpy but passable and the spiced brown sugar syrup was very nice. The americano was good. Besides the extensive options for ready-to-eat food, the grocery selection is decent, comparable to what you might find at a small drugstore. In general the brands available are high quality but a lot of the produce looks like stuff you'd only want to buy if you were going to use it immediately. If you were living on campus it would be a very convenient place to grab a few things in an emergency but not a substitute for an actual grocery/produce store. They're trying out self checkout here which works fine for groceries but is really confusing for the coffee bar. The first time I visited, I tried to tell my order to the barista, but they told me to use the self checkout and give them the receipt. The next time I wanted to order a drink, I went immediately to the self checkout and started to use it, but then the barista came over and swivelled the screen around and took my order normally. If you order food from the deli, you place the order with the employee there and they give you the food with a barcode on it to scan at the checkout. So you can't really order hot food and drinks/pastries at the same time, you have to wait for your hot food to be prepared and then go checkout and wait for drinks. Wait time has been minimal for me because I've been going at off-times, but I imagine this would be really annoying at lunchtime on a weekday. I guess it shouldn't be surprising that the food isn't the most refined given it's campus food, but I am disappointed because I think the food is better at the other locations of both Harvest (Ponderosa Commons) and Hero (Orchard Commons).
