Tier Achieved:
Mediocre energy. You'd probably do better cooking at home.
The epitome of "does the job." Safe enough, food's fine. But let's be honest β your kitchen's probably cleaner AND tastier.
The Deli is like the awkward middle child of campus cafes β some hits and some totally off notes. On one hand, S.K. is all about their healthy salad options, especially the falafels and spiced chickpeas. On the other hand, youβve got folks like Hoken who were left feeling like they were served a culinary crime with bad pancakes and overcooked eggs. The decorβs been spruced up, but the vibe feels like itβs trying too hard to be trendy with its busy atmosphere and fashion show music thatβs a bit too loud.
Demi, the staff gem, seems to shine through the chaos, but even her charm canβt save the kitchen from some seriously questionable food choices. You might get a pleasant chat, but if youβre coming here looking for a solid meal, well, maybe stick to the salads. This place is a roll of the dice β sometimes youβll hit, but other times, you might just want to grab a Greggs on your way back.
"I really appreciate they offer several salad options (and not βboringβ ones!)"
"Served by an absolutely lovely young girl, her name is Demi."
"The shop is quite busy, filled with lots of customers, but the service is fast."
