Ha– I can’t believe my grad school cafeteria is up for review. What a mixed bag. Good salad bar, pretty yummy soups. Reasonable prices, especially with the good ol H-​Rock discount. Not a mind-​blowing selection, of course… and it certainly can’t compare with some of the Law, Business, and undergrad cafs. They stopped carrying Honest Tea at one point, which kind of bummed me out. The staff is really accommodating though, and they keep everything impressively clean. The hours are lamer than that guy who wears crocs with socks, however. Seriously, did it not occur to anyone that grad students sometimes get hungry after 3pm?

This café is in the basement of Longfellow Hall at the Harvard Graduate School of Education.
It’s basically the cafeteria for the campus. It has a decent selection of food: a small place to order sandwiches, a salad bar, some bagels and cookies, and occasionally a Mediterranean platter (but those tend to go quickly) with hummus and grape leaves.
Coffee and tea, fruit, pretzels, sun chips, smart popcorn, Odwalla bars, Naked juice, Poland Spring — food and drinks of that nature — are also available.
Student discount!
The space to sit in is very multi-​purpose for the school, and one would get that sense if they weren’t part of the HGSE community, as well. This place is always bubbling.
Three stars mainly because the place is mostly great given its convenience. The food is not necessarily high or low-​quality. Maybe I’ve just eaten here so many times and cannot have an un-​biased judgment!
