Crema's Take

University Center Bistro is a campus gem that punches above the typical dining hall experience, offering surprisingly solid food like customizable sirloin steak burgers that let you build exactly what you want. It's the perfect spot to settle in with your laptop between classes or meet up with friends, especially if you've got meal points burning a hole in your pocket—the quality justifies splurging compared to standard dining options. The vibe is relaxed and inclusive, with reliable wifi and light fare that keeps people coming back despite the premium pricing.

Best food you can buy with your meal points. Very expensive though, 2-4x more expensive than swiping in at a dining hall. Definitely worth it if you have points to burn though

Food is decently good, compared to other dining halls and cafes around campus! I got the sirloin steak without any of the sides/extras for my personal liking and the steak burger without any toppings! The food was good and service is amazing!
