I was completely floored by the top-shelf quality of every single loose-leaf tea I purchased here.
Walk up window had quick service and the staff inside were incredibly friendly. Definitely give this place a look.
The food can be great or underwhelming depending on what you get, but it's nice to have all the different choices. The best thing about the cafeteria is its location. I often meet friends who also work in downtown there so we can each get whatever we want and have plenty of space to dine and talk.
This is a gem of a place, really. I often go there when I see something on the menu that catches my eye. They have a weekly rotating menu that you can find online. They do ala carte items (by the weight), salad bar, sandwich bar, soups, action stations, freshly baked desserts. You can literally find anything you are craving here. I really liked their flavored waters as well (yes, it's a thing!). Usually when the action station is making asian food it's particularly good. Also, they occasionally have "guest" chefs that come from all around the world! They will usually cook a speciality from their home country. The food locally sourced, and sometimes organic. They really do care about food quality and cleanliness. Best of all the prices are reasonable, and if you mention that you work in the Golden Triangle, you get an extra 10% off. We repeatedly come here for work lunches. It's a great place to take a group. The only negative is that it's a bit difficult to find.
This is a great spot to pick up a healthy lunch in a city full of fast food. I come here often during lunch and enjoy the variety. I can typically find something good to eat here during lunch hours.

Well damn do they have a lot of things to eat. I mean there are like 4 different types of places to order from. When you're done they have a little history hallway of cameras and photos that were taken over the last century and a half.

They have a farmers market here and a few local shops will set up and sell handmade goods too. Free bathrooms and theres a payphone. When was the last time you saw a payphone?
A great, economical lunch time cafeteria. 3 hot entree choices everyday - one always veggie and often vegan. Soup and salad bar, sandwich and grill area.
Great spot for a relaxing lunch. You can bring your own or buy from a very good cafeteria line. Their fresh salads and soups are excellent!
It's a very tranquil space, even with the crowds. Just a beautiful place to eat lunch with a friend or two, and the food is up there with the best in the city for the price.
The best thing about this place is that its cheap - its also usually really health with tons of options theres a salad bar, sushi bar, soup, american food (french fries, chicken fingers, taters) then theres 3 other bars that change daily such as a burrito bar, or baked salmon with rice, or egg plant parm
