El personal es estupendo, los precios ajustados (el menú es mucho más barato que en los restaurantes y cafeterías de la zona), la comida es elaborada y bastante variedad. Muy recomendable para desayuno/almuerzo/comidas. Tienen bebidas, bocadillos y menú de autoservicio.

Una cafetería bastante buena dentro del recinto universitario. Hay diferentes menus que se adaptan a las necesidades de los estudiantes, como por ejemplo el menu completo que muestro aqui de 6,50€ el cual incluye primero y segundo bebida agua pan postre y ensalada. La calidad de la comida es bastante buena. Recomiendo ir pronto porque a partir de las 14:00 se hace complicado encontrar sitio donde sentarse.
