Terrace Cafe is one of three cafeterias located at UNC Hospitals' main campus in Chapel Hill (UNC…read moreHealth/UNC Medical Center). My wife regularly works at the hospital and will sometimes bring home leftovers of her food from Terrace Cafe. On occasion, she'll also grab us a takeout lunch or dinner. The food has always been tasty and I don't know exactly why, but I've always found it to be a treat, probably because it's hospital food. For me, I guess part of it is the novelty of it. The only other hospital I've had food from is Grady Hospital in Atlanta. UNC's hospital food blows Grady's out of the water. Terrace is located on the 2nd floor of the main hospital (Memorial). If entering the hospital from the main front entrance, you'll want to make a left to get to the cafe. There will be a sign for Terrace and a stairway leading up. The cafeteria isn't huge, but it's big enough to have a few different stations/counters. It's like a mini food court, but with only one set of checkout lanes for the multiple vendors/stations inside. The stations have names like "Continental Traders" and "Flatiron Grill." This isn't like a mall or airport food court with brand name vendors like Chick-fil-A and Sbarro. At the time of writing this review, my favorite meal from Terrace Cafe so far has been the fried chicken from Continental Traders. It's branded as "Carolina Chicken Co." I've had it multiple times now. The chicken is seasoned and spiced well. It tastes great. The dark meat is tender and juicy. There's a small additional charge if you want all white meat. The cabbage, collard greens, potatoes au gratin, red beans and rice, mac and cheese, and mashed potatoes and gravy sides are delicious. For healthy food, I thought the salmon with lemon jam was pretty decent. It was tasty even as leftovers. From Continental Traders, my wife has enjoyed almost everything she's tried. That includes chicken pot pie, shepherd's pie, baked chicken, and sweet potato. The only thing she didn't like was the sweet potato side once. The other times, it's been fine. I've tried several of the "Fast Breaks" items. These are grab-and-go meals in clear, plastic, snap-shut containers near the entrance. They include things like salads, sandwiches, snacks, and desserts. I'd say most of these items are or look par for the course such as the spring mix salad and protein box (walnuts, pecans, cheddar cheese cubes, dried cranberries). Of the items from Fast Breaks, the ones I've liked most thus far have been the apple pie, cheesecake with strawberry topping, and Cobb salad. Also near the entrance, there's a display case of self-serve pastries and treats. I believe they're branded as "Great Beginnings." They consist of breakfast foods like bagels, muffins, and Danishes. There's a neat little contraption that blows air into a stack of disposable plastic gloves, allowing you to put on a glove with just one hand to then grab your pastry of choice. I tried the "Black and White Cookie" from this display and it was alright. It tasted like a cheap donut with chocolate and vanilla icing. My wife and I have had the breakfast burritos from Flatiron Grill many times. They're filling and yummy. My wife also likes to get the breakfast sandwiches such as the ones with avocado and egg inside. Those are good too. In general, the breakfast menu is arguably the best thing Terrace Cafe offers when you consider the combination of taste, variety, and price. Flatiron Grill also makes customizable omelets and burgers. Across the way, where they have sealed packs of cereals, there is sometimes a station that serves made-to-order crepes and waffles. "Red Ginger," to the right of Flatiron Grill, sells Asian food. I've never had it, but my wife said it's okay. She said it's like Chinese takeout food. Things like fried egg rolls, stir-fried noodle bowls, and fried dumplings. Sometimes, the station sells burrito bowls. My wife said the burrito bowls taste similar to Chipotle. In the middle of the space is a fridge with self-serve packaged sushi, like grocery store sushi. It's labeled "Sujin Sushi." Like Red Ginger, I haven't tried any of the Sujin Sushi for myself yet. My wife said it's mediocre. By the looks of what I saw, I'd have to agree with her, but I'd be willing to give it a shot sometime. I did try the seaweed salad and even though it looked a little discolored (light), it tasted better than I expected, so maybe I shouldn't knock it until I've tried it for myself. Additionally, Terrace Cafe sells other snacks like bagged potato chips (Frito-Lay, Carolina Kettle Chips) and bottled drinks (soda, tea, water). There are condiment stations and a place for you to heat up (toast, microwave) your food. My wife uses FreedomPay to pay for her meals at Terrace Cafe. With FreedomPay, she gets a discount on top of the listed prices so the food and beverage here end up being a nice value. The cafe has seating inside. If you want to eat outside, go to the courtyard outside Starbucks.

Food: 4.5 Location: 5…read moreInside/seating :5 Service: 5 Overall value: 4 My spouse and I came here for lunch as we were in the area, and it was recommended. I had the BLTA sandwich with french fries and Dijonaise on the side and my spouse had the sausage, egg, and cheese breakfast burrito with home fries. We also each got different sodas from the cooler area. The total for two lunch entrées and two canned sodas was about $40. I feel like this is pretty high relatively speaking for a sandwich and fries, and a breakfast burrito and home fries + two canned sodas, which is why I gave the overall value a four. However, the breakfast burrito, home fries, and regular fries were AMAZING. Probably one of the best breakfast burritos I have had in a really long time, and the home fries were crispy and well seasoned. The sandwich I had was pretty good, but nothing super special, and definitely not worth $16. I didn't particularly care for the Dijonnais, but that's just personal preference and glad I had it on the side. The restaurant itself has ample parking and is easy to find. It has a lot of seating, as well as lounge type seating for the breakfast/café crew and people who might be coming to do a little bit of work. You order at the front and they give you a number and bring the food out to your table. Everyone we interacted with was friendly and kind. The restaurant itself was clean. Overall, I would probably give this somewhere between a four and a five, but I do really love to support Local and I could tell this place probably makes a banging coffee drink and had delicious looking desserts, so I went with a 5. Unfortunately, we live between 35 and 40 minutes away, so we likely won't return, but if we find ourselves in that area of Chapel Hill, I would consider stopping in for another breakfast burrito!

It now feels like a true family operation, with everyone pitching in. The owner is the one who usually waits on us. The service is consistently friendly and attentive. I especially enjoy the omelets! One of my favorites is the Omni omelet, while my wife likes the Greek omelet. I like that the meats and vegetables are cooked together with the eggs rather than simply added at the end. It makes the omelets feel more flavorful. The skillets are also very good, particularly the John Wayne. The updated interior is bright, colorful, and welcoming. What can I say... I'm a fan.

On a road trip with my friend and we wanted a light snack before lunch. We saw Guglhupf bakery and…read morerestaurant so we decided to stop by the bakery section. We went during early lunch hours. It is busy here,seems like a locals favorite for brunch. There is indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor patio is beautifully decorated. The bakery shop sold alot of in house food products such as housed German sausages and jam. Also local made beverages;the kombucha "Lavendar Dreams" is light and refreshing to drink etc.. I tried the chocolate croissant (crisp but not too crispy,chocolate stuffed filling not jam) and the ham and cheese pretzel( delicous pretzel:ate everything;bread part is savory and soft). Our first visit here I'd say this place makes a great brunch place. You can either stop by for breakfast,lunch or a light snack from the bakery shop. Service wasnt the best here. We informed the cashier that it was our first time here. Knowing that,they kept on stating is that all?.. Everytime am asking about a item and deciding what to try. I understand it is rush hour and can get busy but I felt truly rushed.

We definitely will NOT be back and apparently they don't want people to know why…read more I originally posted a review about our experience on Google, but the restaurant chose to hide it rather than address what happened. So I'm sharing our experience here as well. Within three minutes of sitting at the bar, we noticed fruit flies flying around. We still hadn't seen the bartender, until we noticed a puff of smoke coming from behind the bar. She was sitting behind the counter vaping. We decided to at least order drinks and mentioned the fruit flies while she was making them. Her response? "We have roaches in the back, so don't worry about the flies," followed by a laugh. I'm sorry... WHAT?! Fruit flies were bad enough. An employee vaping behind the bar was questionable. But having an employee casually tell customers there are roaches in the back of the restaurant absolutely did it for us. Needless to say, we did not order food. What makes the experience even more disappointing is that instead of acknowledging the concerns raised in my original review, the restaurant hid the review. Customers should be able to make informed decisions based on other customers' experiences, even when those experiences aren't flattering. We will not be returning, and based on our experience, I absolutely would not recommend this restaurant.
