Great salad bar, great coffee. Coffee refill (e.g. bring your own mug) is only $1.25!!! (I have 18oz mug) - and it's starbucks! They brew it well - I worked at Starbucks for 5 months before in the past - so I know. Great daily specials! *mocha's on mondays are $2.50!!
As someone who works nearby - I'm glad this place is here.
The food quality is marginal and the prices are outrageous. I just bought a mushy half sandwich and a 20 oz soda and spent $7.50. EMRB Cafe is a last resort and only if you have money to burn.
Listen, you aren't eating here because you want the best food. You are eating here because it is close to your work, quick, and not going to make you sick. They are very clean and the food is prepared well, but it is a cafeteria and that is what you should expect.
This place is terrible. They capitalize on the lack of options by providing barely edible food at a cost that regularly increases. Food is often under the heatlamp by 10am and is thoroughly mummified by noon. UIHC should be ashamed of this.

Typical university fare, marginal quality and way overpriced. This place also doesn't accept cash, so why do they even have cashier's?
Mayo Akinbo
Honestly this place is pretty overpriced for subpar food. The coffee and tea are alright though.
Jeff Steege
So overpriced compared to other dining options at the hospital/campus. Dingy.

You will get what you expect here. Not the best cafe on campus or hospital. Has a convenient location.
