I highly recommend the breakfast bowls and smoothies at bcafe. The breakfast bowl is a good way to start your day. There are a lot of different things you can put in the bowl such as eggs, brown rice, bacon, chorizo, tomato, spinach, cheddar cheese, and etc. I really like how you can put whatever you want in your smoothie and how there's a lot of different ingredients you can choose from. But if that's too much work, you can always choose one of the smoothies on their menu. I usually get the very raspberry. read more

I LOVE this place, there is a worker named Desiree and she attended me with 100% professionalism and kindness 10/10. She provided excellent customer service!! It is rare to receive such good customer service, I was having a pretty bad day up until I walked in and was greeted by this excellent employee. Who would've know it makes such a difference in someone's day?!?! I definitely recommend the clam chowder. It's really tasty and has a good flavor. read more

One of my favorite places to eat at UCLA. I highly recommend the Roasted Turkey or BBQ chicken wrap. If you get the wraps try to do the half soup/half sandwich especially if they're offering the beef chili or tomato soup. The selection may seem minimal at times and the two drinks for one swipe is such a waste of a swipe. To be honest the main reason I started eating BCAF was because I was tired of smelling like Covel. read more

I love the food I come here almost all the time. Would recommend coming here if you want good foodie

Great for a short snack. The parfait is delicious. Not recommended for a full meal because the other cafeterias have better hot meals offered. The soup is pretty good. read more

Their sandwiches have too much bread, but the wheat slices of bread definitely go better with the sandwiches. I bought a tomato, leek, and clam chowder and it was far from what I expected. Just take a look at the picture and ask yourself, "is this even a soup?". read more

Bruin Cafe - Sandwiches Near Me - Los Angeles, California

How the hell this place has more than 1 star is beyond me. Maybe it was good once, or maybe just because its the only thing open past 12. Everything tastes like plastic, including the plastic utensils. Today I even handed the cashier $5 in addition to a swipe just to make my sandwich edible. It still tasted like ceram wrap. Avoid. Smoothies are good but the ingredients are 10 parts sugar, 1/2 part fruit, 1/4 part milk. The only redeeming part of this "restaurant" or "cafe" is the Baroque architecture and mosaic patterned flooring, of which I am a fan. read more

The sandwiches are good but the process of getting one is appalling. Multiple times have I had to wait over 25 minutes to get a sandwich that is supposed to be "quick service." The most recent time I went, I had to go up to the counter and complain and only then did they start making my sandwich. I was the second person to order a sandwich when their lunch started, and I only got my sandwich 40 minutes after I ordered. Forty! read more

Have never eaten here sober. I always get the two swipe sandwiches, but i dont know why. My senior thesis will be about this phenomenon. They have sandwiches and shit like that. read more

It is said that Hillel of Babylon invented the sandwich some time in the second century AD. That's right-- Bruin Cafe did not invent the sandwich. There are other places on Earth with sandwiches, soups, and wraps. You should give those a try before giving this place five stars. Eating here, I am just overwhelmed with mediocrity. The sandwiches, soups, and wraps are sub-par at best, but the pastries are pretty decent. Coffee/tea/smoothies are OK. read more

The food is very fresh and clearly healthy. The portions are small but you can always go back for more. There's good dessert and a plethora of drinks to choose from. B-Plate definitely has its ups and downs, but what dining hall doesn't? Overall pretty great taste and not to mention healthy and sustainable. read more

I got the roast beef and cheddar sandwich, oh my goodness this thing is so delicious. I will come here every time with my friends if we are hungry. Right next to my dorm read more

You can eat ten dishes and it will still feel like you only had five calories. Haven't decided yet if that's a good or bad thing.

Stop by here almost everyday! everyone is so friendly and nice! Never have they lost my receipt. My food has always come out fast!

It can be a little hit or miss depending on the day, but usually all the options are healthy, and beautifully presented. Today was a stellar day with arugula and flank steak salad, these amazing shitake and tofu patties, and super moist and delicious sweet potato / walnut bread for dessert. There's also a great latte-making machine, and a nice selection of teas to pair with your dessert. It kind of makes me want to enroll at UCLA so I can come here every day. read more

Bruin Cafe - Yum! - Sandwiches Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Bruin Cafe is the place to go for late night food needs. It's decent because I prefer Rendezvous's vegetarian taco salads and quesadillas, but Bruin Cafe is great for those long nights of studying. They have food, like soups, salads, and sanwiches, as well as coffee and tea, and an ice cream and smoothie bar. Just had a mango madness smoothie to quench my desire of mango lassi (indian shake). Pretty good with the premiere plan. read more

Amazing! Best, healthiest place to eat on campus hands-down. Everything is fresh and well-prepared, and the salad bar is beauuuuutiful.

Easily my favorite dining hall at ucla. As a vegetarian, this is usually paradise. It's the one place you'll find kale vinegrette at the salad bar and toasted coconut at the frozen yogurt bar. Pretty often they'll have avocado in at least one dish, and they used to have avocado at the salad bar. Overall I find myself coming here 90% of the time and it literally is the most "LA" dining hall in the country. read more

To make things simple....bruin cafe is pretty whack. I am a UCLA student so I go here to get tea or what not because I have no other place to go. But the thing that stands out the most to me is the customer service. I'm not gonna name any names but there's a couple workers that are basically not there for the customer interaction, but ONLY for getting money nam sayin' ? I'm not even exaggerating right now... forreal the workers are SO jacked. they get all mad if you don't hurry when they lag sometimes themselves and they even blame you for not being the person on your ID card ... wtf? HAHA theyre trippin. but anyways back to the food quality.... The food quality's pretty bad...the most famous sandwiches there are probably the turkey and the greek beef but they get pretty old. The greek beef sometimes comes with like straight up raw meat and it's pretty gross. I like my steaks medium rare and I like that bloody ness but seriously..the meat they give is sometimes straight up rare...cmon dawg. But the turkey.. it's aite. BUT!!! they have this new item called the meatball sub which is pretty dank. No lie. SO! if you go to bcafe, make sure to try the meatball sub and nothing else. Say hi to the mean workers for me! p.s. just go to rendezvouz. hella bomb. check my review for rendezvouz. read more

To be fair, B Plate does occasionally have decent food, but most of their other offerings are very meh. The portions are way too small and I often have to get back in line multiple times just to get a normal serving size. The wait to get into this place is ridiculous sometimes because people are eating healthier food than other dining halls. Super disappointed they don't have any of my coca-cola beverages I've come to love from all the other dining halls. read more

This place is awesome. Favorite place to eat at UCLA. In fact, I wish I had a Bruin Cafe to go to in DC most nights.

Smoothies here are good. Some of their sandwiches aren't bad, either. Good late night choice if you haunt the residential hill. Some good memories with my twin bro here. read more

A quick and easy place to get food from the hill. Sometimes it's extremely crowded, but it's good since bcafe is the only place open until 2. read more

The most popular place to get food, this place is just about constantly open. I usually eat here once a day on weekdays. They recently upgraded their sandwiches which is a huge plus. They always blast music in here, which led to the famous Club Bcaf. Great place to get a quick meal read more

Hit and miss with the items here. Still dont understand how 1 swipe=1 smoothie and yet also 1 swipe=mini pizza with side salad and soda else where read more

Bcafe is normally pretty good, especially if it's 1am and everything on campus is closed. Workers can be rude sometimes too. Ordered a BBQ Beef Brisket today, and they somehow forgot to put coleslaw on the sandwich. Ended up back in my room with 2/3 of the ingredients I ordered. read more

Bruin Cafe - BBQ Beef Brisket - Sandwiches Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Can sometimes get super overcrowded at times but overall it's a good place to get a light lunch or dinner or midnight snack. I really recommend the Clam Chowder soup and the Mango smoothie! They are my faves read more

The best place to eat on campus. Very large variety of food. Very healthy and flavorful. A LOT of vegetarian options (I am not a vegetarian but I tend to choose the vegetarian options over the regular ones because they're just SO GOOD! Honey-glazed seitan, tofu ricotta lasagna, lentil bolognese pasta, kale pesto pasta, mushroom and cauliflower tacos, etc). The chicken is free-range, the eggs cage-free, the fish responsibly caught and the tofu is organic. You will be sure to eat a good amount of fruits and veggies. I really love their breads (spiced gingerbread, cranberry tofu bread, pineapple bread, etc) and their frozen yoghurt. They have a huge salad bar with fantastic dressings (the kale dressing and the cranberry dressing are iconic). They also have a flatbread station, and the flatbreads are cooked right before your eyes in a wood oven. Amazing. My favorite. Oh, and the best about it- it's all you can eat! read more

Bruin Cafe - Bison, blue cheese and blackberry slider with pickled onions. - Sandwiches Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Food is alright for dorm food. I come here more often for their smoothies. The food that you can order is good for a quick bite on the go. Though the food isn't the best that the dorm has to offer, I would say it's one of the more "healthier" fast joints you can pay a visit to. read more

The food tastes amazing! Like a mixture of sustainable meet and vegetables with a pinch of dirt. However, the portions are that of a teething baby(so fr*ckin) small :(. So you have to wait in line and end up spending more time in line than eating. Long lines are perfect for conversing! It's also a great place to meet hot/sorority girls. You can really trap them into talking you in those long lines. Saturday mornings are also a great time to meet the parents of girls you make out with the night before. It's a great family environment! Also good if you like fruit :)))))! That's all you need to know! Wait actually you should also dine tray-free to save the environment. You never know how long it could be around..just some food for thought read more

U can never come here and not expect to wait in line. I have no clue why people kill themselves over it. Quantities and serving sizes are smaller than the already tiny servings of the other dining halls. The only reason i didn't give it 1 star is that they have awesome fruits. read more

its so yummy here!!!! i love comming with my friends when they are on campus. good place to eat a big meal and just chill :)

Best dining hall at UCLA hands down

Some people at the register are very rude, but overall the food is exceptional, especially for a college campus cafe! Their soups are horrible, but their pastries, sandwiches, and smoothies are really great, especially their smoothies. I generally don't like/drink smoothies, but I always get one from BCafe cause they're really good! read more
