AstraZeneca Cafeteria – Alapocas

Great cafeteria food! After spending one week in the building, it was a joy to get some rest and grab a bit to eat. This cafeteria is better than what I am used to. Made to order sandwiches and other gourmet, items. I had a turkey Terriyaki sandwich on crisp sourdough one day and a tasty grilled chicken cheese steak another. The dessert selection looked tantalizing with the red velvet cupcakes and brownies, however I did not indulge. The prices are ridiculously low with almost all items under $ 3. Great salad bar and fresh vegetable bar.

The AstraZeneca Cafeteria is a slightly above par corporate cafeteria. They have the following stations: juice/​dairy, dessert, beverage (both fountain and bottled), soup, deli sandwich, grill (for fish or grilled sandwiches), meet counter, wok counter, salad bar, and snack area. There is also a mini-​starbucks station open beyond lunch room hours. The food is mostly static, except for the meat counter and wok area. What it lacks in creativity, it makes up for with consistency. Each day you can find a reliable sandwich or salad, a new dessert and a new meat dish. Although I typically get a deli sandwich or salad for health reasons, Jervi’s usually servin’ up somethin fierce at the meat counter.
Beyond the food, the staff is an all-​star cast of characters that serve with a smile. My colleagues and I often debate who is the MVSM (most valuable staff member) based on a set of versatile attributes like food preparation, customer service, varied lunch room duties, and overall demeanor. Sadly, Mr. Bo Jangles, an early round fantasy pick, has been dismissed for unpublished reasons. We’re waiting for someone off the bench to step up their lunch room game, but we’ll see if it ever happens.
Note: Must be an AstraZeneca employee, or have acess to the campus, to dine at AstraZeneca facility.
