Sample Menu
I'm going to come off as a hater but I detest visiting Charlie's. There's way too many people and the food isn't all that great when you compare it to the smaller cafes on campus. I still don't understand why a billion dollar company has ghetto lunch tables and chairs. For a first time visit, I'd say you have to experience it at least once. I think they serve Italian, Asian, Indian, Sushi, salads, sandwiches, and an American Grill. Fridays the seafood bar comes alive.

Sample Menu
Slice Cafe is close to Charlie's, right across from the gym. It's one of my favorite cafes to visit. You can pick up smoothies, juices, fresh fruit, or a light dish on the go. I drank a banana strawberry walnut smoothie that blew the socks off anything I had at Jamba Juice.
 

No Name Cafe


B43 | 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway


(by the reception lobby)
Hot Breakfast 8:00 - 9:30 am
Hot Lunch 12:00 - 2:30 pm
Hot Dinner Mon-Thurs 6:30 - 9:00 pm
Friday Dinner 6:00 - 8:00 pm (closed during social TGIF)
Sample Menu
No Name Cafe is known for their vast vegetarian and raw dish menu. A good option if you want a more healthier meal. None of the dishes were too apealing to me, I tried a caesar salad. The highlight of my meal was the oatmeal cookies. Insiders tells us it's the best place on campus to get a salad.
 

Andale Cafe


B43 | 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway


Hot Lunch 11:30 - 2:30 pm
Hot Dinner Mon-Thurs 6:30 - 9:00 pm
 
I did not visit Andale since I can go visit their Mexican restaurant in Los Gatos.
 
  • Friday is the busiest day and full of visitors. Most cafes offer special meals like outdoor BBQ grilling to hot pots

  • Arrive before 11:30AM to avoid the lunch rush. Some cafeterias don't open until 12 Noon so plan accordingly

  • Visitor parking sucks but has gotten better. Arrive before noon.

  • Although extremely tempting, only take what you will eat. Do not waste anything
