They have been extremely courteous and polite about staying open for a couple minutes so I can grab something from their pre-wrapped food ready to go and grab drinks and that was worth time and then another time they accidentally handed me the wrong food and allowed me to keep the wrap that they actually were supposed to give me because I ate the other one.

This is easily the most underappreciated café on campus. The food is delicious and made fresh on the spot -- I can vouch personally for the BLT (I've had several) and the bacon, sausage and egg breakfast burrito (just enjoyed my first one). My coworkers tell me the nachos are also excellent.

There is a U Hungry Cafe within the building at 540 Arapeen Drive in Salt Lake City. I really enjoy the food, (the steak quesadilla is one of my favorite items) and the staff members are all friendly and helpful! I recommend it!

Best food on campus by far. Lovely staff, soooo many options, good music, lowest prices. They don’t accept meal plans but students should eat here if they want actual quality food made with love.
