    a takeout container with noodles and chicken

    Fuck this stingy ass Cafe, The food tastes like shit, stop trying to bring out the Chinese menu when your food worse than Panda Express. The staff serves tiny bit of food, like one little scoop of each, and food all overpriced. I went back ask the staff if I could get some more, cuz you literally gave me one scoop of noodle, he answered with "no, that's the size how to serve" Art Center should consider rent this cafe to someone else who knows how to chef.

    Contrary to what a lot of students say, this cafe has everything you'd need. Every day there's something different on the menu, there's a large Coke machine, coffee, a variety of drinks and snacks, and even Sushi Tuesdays. Don't get spoiled, students.

    This is a disaster, student special, cheeseburger macaroni !

    I come here with hope and leave with regrets, forget about taste and flavor when visiting this place! They food actually never changes, their fish tastes like chicken their chicken tastes like their fish, bland and very much comparable to hospital food. Everything is overpriced, and poor student's "student special" is made with whatever they had left over! This place is a shame and disaster for school like Artcenter.

    Too slow to photo. To hungry to enjoy.

    I'm not always hungry but when I am I'm sure to hit up the one and only Art Center Cafe. I don't dilly dally with the mediocrity that exists in the vending machines hidden amongst the dark corners of the campus. I make sure to warm my soul in the amply lit cafe sporting a scenic view of grass, trees, and a smoking area. The scenery is aight, but the real tooth fruity is the what Sodexo likes to call the "crispy chicken sandwich". My god it's dank. You about it? I'm about it and so should you, your mom, and your mom's friends. Desmond just gets his fry right every time. Yeah, sure frying a frozen chicken patty really ain't that hard, but it certainly ain't easy either. It's all about the decisive moment, the instant where both crispness and moistness reach their maximization and stabilize. Trying the damn sandwich, it's good.

    This is 4 dollar and it is the art center special...

    Very very pricy for some low quality salty food. I strongly recommend to order delivery other than the art center cafe.

    Much BS from the one and only: SODEXO Photo cred. A friend.

    There's something undeniably special about Little Flower -- the kind of place that feels stitched…read moreinto the emotional fabric of a neighborhood. The light pours in softly, the pastries somehow always taste nostalgic, and everything carries that rare feeling of being made with actual care. It's one of those spaces where time slows down a little: parents lingering over coffee, friends catching up over tartines, someone quietly reading in the corner while the smell of fresh bread fills the room. The food is consistently beautiful -- comforting without being heavy, thoughtful without trying too hard. You can feel the intention behind the ingredients and the atmosphere alike. It has the warmth of an old California café that's become part of people's routines and memories over the years. The only thing that occasionally breaks the spell is the service. While never outright rude, the staff can sometimes feel moody, curt, or disconnected, which stands out against how welcoming the space itself wants to feel. A little more warmth, attentiveness, or better communication skills would go a long way in making the experience match the heart of the café itself. Still, even with that inconsistency, Little Flower remains one of those places you keep coming back to -- not just for the food, but for the feeling.

There are plenty of celeste-colored chairs, several tables, and outlets, which makes it a great place to study or socialize. The A/C is also a huge plus. The menu appears relatively unchanged. The drinks are pretty good and not overly sweet, and there's also a fairly decent selection of pastries.

My wife ordered the tiramisu latte and said it was delicious. We also tried the Italian pizza topped with arugula, burrata, and prosciutto. The ingredients tasted fresh and high quality. Personally, there was a little too much arugula for my taste, but it was still really good overall. The absolute star of the meal was the spicy chicken sandwich. One of the owners even came up and told us he eats it every day, and after trying it, I completely understand why. The bread was toasted perfectly, the chicken was tender, juicy, and flavorful, and the melted cheese brought everything together. It reminded me of an amazing buffalo chicken sandwich. Easily the best thing we ordered, and honestly, I'd eat that sandwich every day if I could. We also finished with the bird milk cake, which was really tasty and a great dessert to end the meal!

The guest of Honor, Ronnald M from Orlando Fl, is as sweet as the house made desserts in the display case. My lovely gals, Te-See & Rosie, joined us too, which made the gathering more fun. The entranceway is stunning - marbled floors, a gold staircase, and a gorgeous cascading chandelier. There is a side room that is also lovely and a lounge area upstairs. Monica was our server and she was an absolute delight. (Jordan was also darling.) Our order consisted of Pistachio Toast, Croissant with butter & jam, Honey Cake, "Rafi" Coffee, Chai Latte, Iced Tea, and a glass of Prosecco. The Pistachio Toast was made with charcoal bread topped with a lightly sweetened pistachio spread and fresh strawberries & blueberries. It was tasty. The Honey Cake was like a crepe cake. It was good and not overly sweet. The Prosecco was crisp, light, & refreshing. Before we left, we had a nice chat with the owner, Tony. He was very friendly and told us they were working on opening a location in Florida. That made Ronnald happy. He also mentioned they have live entertainment on the weekends starting at 7:30 pm. *Free 90-minute parking in the structure across the street. $2 every hour after.

Today, on Mother's Day, we ordered avocado toast and quiche with salad. After waiting nearly 40 minutes, our food finally arrived -- and I was honestly shocked by the portion size and the poor quality of the avocado toast (I'll attach the photo). After politely speaking to the waiter and waiting for assistance, no one came back. I eventually had to go inside myself and speak directly to the owner. Instead of resolving the issue properly, she simply said they couldn't remake it and offered "extra avocado" instead. After waiting another 5 minutes, she told me to go sit outside and they would bring it out. They brought very tiny avocado slices. What should have been a beautiful Mother's Day experience was completely ruined. In the end, my husband had to go inside and request a refund. We are beyond disappointed and will never return. Customers deserve kindness, respect, and proper service -- and sadly this place no longer offers any of that. Avoid this place if you value good service and being treated with respect.
