Microsoft Advanta Cafeteria

This Microsoft employee cafeteria is lovely. I was a visitor on campus and had lunch here.
Very cool aesthetic, with modern, clean lines, dark grey granite counters and great lighting.
Various stations offer a good selection of food at prices better than a fast food restaurant, and the food is of G ood quality.
You order at the different stations, pay at the cashier then serve yourself with condiments, plastic utensils, etc. You also bus your own table.
Ordered a buffalo chicken sandwich with fries for $ 7. The sandwich was made to order and was great. The fries not so much but still good.

Great food and of course you need to be an MS contractor or employee (badge access only) to enter. Really nice facility and fancy, it’s pretty posh in there. The food is pretty good and healthy, they have a very «Green» 3 star green restaurant certification. Free soda is a nice MS perk, so I never buy a drink with my food. Yes they do rotate food vendors every few months, so don’t go in with your heart set on anything. It definitely is a nice place for the MS «Borg Drones» to eat. :) They are only open for lunch and breakfast, so if you’re later than around 2pm you probably won’t get lunch. The service is friendly and fast. Personally the prices aren’t horrible, but I stay away from pasta and sauce for $ 7.50 (or a piece of pizza), for me other options are a better deal.

I work at Advanta, so this is where I go when hunger calls and I’ve forgotten to pack lunch. It’s badge-​access only, so you’ll only see Microsoft employees around.
The vendors rotate, so you always see familiar faces. There’s always a made-​to-​order counter featuring the chef’s special. That’s where you’ll find both the best food and the longest lines. Most other things are pretty average, especially the super greasy Indian and Chinese food you’ll find.
Oh, and if you want to chomp on something after 4pm – good luck. You’re left with only vending machines at that point.
