Seasons at Drexel

HAM
AND
CHEESE
CROISSANT!!!
Sorry that was a little obnoxious but I’m so in love with their ham and cheese croissant. I feel a bit lame for reviewing an establishment that’s on campus but it’s honestly so good. This croissant saved me from starvation before maybe bio labs… Definitely going to miss it so much. There are times that they burn the edge though… Womp!
The ladies at Seasons are always so welcoming and friendly, so have a seat inside and pair your croissant with some tea and gelato afterwards :)

I only had their citrus cookie– which was really good. Didn’t try the sandwiches– I think it’s weird that they have pre-​made egg sandwiches sitting in the display case– don’t they go bad?

If you like overpriced sandwiches and chocolate bars for $ 8. This is your place. Needless to say, Seasons is designated for students who are in a time constraint and just want to grab quick eats. But the ladies here are soooo friendly. Some of the sandwiches are delicious and creative. Give it a try :)

The concept is nice (on-​the-​go menu changes seasonally) but I definitely think they take advantage of their location by overpricing their food. That said, convenience is definitely a plus, grabbing a quick coffee beats waiting in line at Starbucks, and the staff are amazingly friendly (especially my girl dotty!).
If you have a sweet tooth you’ll be able to find something to tickle your fancy here.

Great bagels and cream cheese!

I say firstly not to expect too much when you go there because it’s really just designed for people on the go who don’t have much time to wait for food to cook. The food is okay, they have a lot of different foods, drinks, and even gelato. The staff is very, very nice. Whenever I go there they are literally some of the nicest people and often brighten my day. I often grab a bagel and cream cheese and it’s good. They have an offer going that if you buy the Seasons at Drexel metal flaskthingy for $ 10 (expensive I know), you can get refills for .99. That’s pretty good to me, but I’m not really a coffee person. The place can get pretty packed during school hours too, which is a good sign to me.

This is a great spot to pick up some coffee and a bagel before class. The staff is really friendly, and there is a big window in the front where you can sit and people watch. The food is average, and inexpensive, but it’s great for those who are in a hurry and want a quick bite. The other day, I ordered the soup of the day, which warmed me up and was very filling.

They have gelato (only place on campus) and the people that work there are really nice!

Food isn’t very good especially given the price. They will offer to heat up your sandwich but this often is insufficient to render it warm. I understand that the ingredients are organic but the food is still mediocre in both concept and execution. All in all lame food at a price that is outrageous.

Seasons is housed in the new Papadakis Integrated Science Building. The concept of the place is to maximize local products available each season, from fruits and vegetables to baked goods, in order to support a sustainable lifestyle. They have some decent healthy sandwiches, with pretty good soup, salads, pastries, and desserts as well. I keep coming back to the tomato, basil & mozzarella on ciabatta, which gives a good caprese sandwich from a typical train station in Italy a run for its money. So far I’ve mostly gone during off-​peak times, but I’m really hoping it doesn’t get terribly crowded when classes are in full swing; we’ll see. The sandwiches and salads are pre-​made, so you get more interesting choices at Picnic and more variety at Brysi, but the quality at Seasons is good, the service at quick, and if you’re at Drexel then it’s one of the closest things around.
