Crema's Take

This campus café occupies an odd middle ground—it's technically a Starbucks operation, but with its own quirky identity, smaller cup sizes, and refusal to honor standard gift cards. The real draw seems to be the made-to-order subs, which reviewers consistently praise as genuinely better than typical campus dining options, though the experience is undermined by overpriced, mass-produced grab-and-go items that feel like an afterthought. It's the kind of place that works in a pinch when you need something quick on campus, but the inconsistency in quality and the sense that it's coasting on what used to be better leave you wanting more.

It gets the job done when you need food on campus, but its overpriced ans prepackaged food. It used to do sandwiches that were great, but as of 2016 they do not.

This is a starbucks that doesn't accept starbucks gift cards and has nonstandard cups that are smaller than normal starbucks cups.

I ate a bagel here once. It was tastier than the seagulls they have in the DCC
