This steak bowl was delicious. I didn't care for the bowl. The tortilla bowl was so overcooked. The steak was nice and tender. The salad mix in vinaigrette was very good. It was spring mix with cucumbers. It was a very fresh and paired well with the bowl. Not over priced. $13.99 read more

This place is never clean. It's actually shocking how dirty the eating spaces are. The staff is ok. The food is overpriced and poor quality. Really disappointed and shocked that Kaiser allows this. I will say, this hospital in general, seems to have an inefficient cleaning staff. read more

Am I gonna review Kaiser's Cafeteria? Why yes I am... While waiting for a surgery patient I wandered down to the large cafeteria. They seemed to have a lot of choices... Very neatly stacked snacks like energy bars, pretzels and pastries. They have a very nice looking salad bar sold by weight (.46 cents per oz.) The had a plastic cup you could fill with fruit or/and veggies for $2 that listed nutrient content ~ bonus points~ A grill station where you can order burgers and sandwiches~a special of the day station~ today was Vegetarian Coconut Curry over rice with vegetables $7.50 for cafeteria food it was decent, not great but decent for sure. Lots if drinks to choose from, as well as coffee. A pretty nice cafeteria as far as cafeterias go... Convenient. Very large sitting area's so you can eat alone or closer to other people whichever you prefer. You can sit outside in the beautiful garden, or inside facing the garden. Also the cashier was very friendly and had kind words for everyone... She was lovely! read more

My husband and I were waiting for our ride home and we had time to spare so we ate here to kill time until the bus arrived. The cafeteria has decent eats - fast service. I had a plain Cheeseburger and my husband had the beef stroganoff with white rice. Plus 2 sodas, $17.80 for the two of us. Very decent and the food tasted good. There are vending machines inside too in case you want to get snacks that way. They all accept debit and credit cards inside. Much different than eating at an actual restaurant, reminded me of eating in the cafeteria in my Junior High and High School Days. read more

Kaiser Permanente Cafeteria (San Leandro) is in a new location. it may have been here for awhile and i didn't know about it. it's a vast improvement over the old location at the other end of the building. this location is beyond the side entrance. it's across from a "2d" Pharmacy directly across from it. there's 3 rooms of socially distanced dining tables. also vending machines, coffee station, salad station, grilled food station, entree food station. 2 lines for checking out. eats: baked mac & cheese (1.94) -delicious! fresh, has a little bit of spiciness. -compares well with many mac cheeses. biased review since i haven't ate solid food for days.....just veggies. *didn't shot inside pics since areas had many people. didn't see menus, or many prices.... read more

I love their food. Every time I'm their this is my go to. My preference are the salmon burger. I ask for pesto on it. No problem no extra cost. My last visit their I had the baked chicken special with mashed potatoes and gravy. It was very good. Except the mashed potatoes were a little hard and thick read more

On numerous occasion I find myself among nurses and physicians early in the morning awkwardly lingering in front of locked gates that look strong enough to keep out even the most coffee addicted. Penitentiary style trays, chairs and floors but the ambiance goes up a notch as it overlooks a courtyard garden with seating areas. A small space between the two main towers with newly planted top heavy bamboo. I, like most, grab coffee and some baked goods - by now I've tried most of them and they are very decent. The swirly sugar one sells out quickly and they don't restock - so buy enough to get you through the day. Coffee has been excellent from the main cafeteria - but keep in mind I always grabbed mine as it opened at 8am. If in doubt there is a Starbucks within the cafeteria just to the side of the grill where they make breakfast sandwiches hot and to order. The California is light and healthy with turkey bacon, egg whites and a few spinach leaves. The chefs are sometimes different from day to day but they have all done their jobs well under the pressure that is a substantial line that they have fully in view. I usually sit myself on the long booth with my back to the wall facing the main entrance. I feel its the optimal location for good digestion. When I eat I sometimes think about the crazy landscape architect who thinks invasive bamboo is good idea... Things are a tad high in price if anything - but I think its worth it. One could walk to Dennys or La Pinata - both are nearby and have long hours. This place gives new meaning to cafeteria food - convince your friends that eating at a hospital is a good idea and take them here. read more

This cafeteria has a few breakfast options, from healthy breakfast like egg whites and turkey bacon, to eggs bacon and sausage plates, to omelettes, breakfast burritos and sandwiches. My bf really took a liking to their breakfast burritos and breakfast sandwiches. You have the option to choose between a croissant or English muffin for your sandwich. I believe they change the menu during lunch and maybe even serve dinner (can't really say as I've never eaten here after 2pm). I notice that they also have ready to eat packaged food, fresh salad, soup, fruits, and pastries. They also have a mini Starbucks but with less options, of course. When the kitchen is closed they have the gate down. Luckily, they have vending machines outside of those gates for those wee hours of the night when you need that extra cup of coffee or microwaveable burrito when you are starving. They have microwaves for that, btw! Plenty of seats and tables inside and outside, even have a seating area right outside the cafeteria when you feel like breathing some fresh air. read more

People that give the Kaiser cafeteria four stars must not know how to cook or they're desperate to eat. How do you mess up a grilled cheese? Well, you can come order at the Kaiser cafeteria and find out because they have no basic knowledge of how to make a grilled cheese. They suck on the regular that's why I don't order ordinarily order food from them. read more

Who would have guessed...awesome tasting BBQ ribs in a hospital cafeteria. I had taken a family member to a doctor appointment, and it was almost noon. We thought, why not have lunch here? The cafeteria's located on the first floor; just follow the direction signs and you can't miss it - one of the few pleasant features in the place. Upon entering, vending machines and microwave ovens await those who arrive outside of food serving hours. The inside dining area is colorful and huge, with pictures of raw vegetables on the walls. There's also seating in a large outdoor patio area; some tables equipped with red umbrellas. But beware, if you sit outside, the door will lock behind you, and you'll have to knock to get back in. They serve breakfast and lunch daily, with dinner offered also on weekdays. For lunch, there are soups, a salad bar, sandwiches, burgers, pizza and much more plus daily specials. I chose the chef special that consisted of barbecue pork ribs with corn on the cob, and I substituted the coleslaw for salad. The ribs were excellent - worthy of being entered in a barbecue competition. The corn was sweet and tasty, and the salad was crisp and fresh. But you can't give Kaiser any credit, as they contract out to Fresh & Natural Food Service Group to run their cafeteria. There's also a selection of upscale drinks and ready-made sandwiches if you're on the go. Would definitely stop in again if hunger breaks out while at the hospital. read more

This is one great hospital cafeteria! It's air conditioned inside and has multiple vending machines as well. This joint is very clean and well lighted cafeteria and the foods like sandwiches and main course meals are complete and affordable. This cafeteria covers pretty much on what you will need from coffee to juices to breakfast to lunch and there's a wide selection of snacks to choose from. This cafeteria also has FREE WIFI in case you bring your tablet/laptop. I usually go here on very hot summer days like today, August 28, 2021 which is a Saturday for the air conditioned environment. This place is quiet and there's also an exterior area in case you want to eat "Al Fresco". I highly recommend going here if you happen to be visiting this hospital. read more

This is a fairly new location and it's huge. The staff is so friendly and happy. I went in right before the station I needed to see closed and staff was quick and helpful. Parking is easy and plentiful. There is plenty of seating at every part of the hospital. I highly recommend this beautiful hospital to all. read more

Food 3.5 I would not come straight here for the food, but it's decent for a hospital and like most places it depends what you get. I was glad I got to choose what I wanted and not just have random food brought to my room. During my 4 day stay here there are 3 meals a day and I tried several foods - here is what I liked from best to so so: Napa Valley Chicken salad Chocolate ice cream Meat loaf with gravy Yams Chocolate chip cookies French toast Cheesecake Roasted vegetables Turkey sandwich Thin crust pizza Southwestern omelette Salad with couscous Their menu in the rooms list carbs, protein but not fat content. read more

We tried their Power Scramble Omelet breakfast and it was horrible. Not worth the $17.83! We should just have gone to McDonald's for an Egg McMuffin. read more

Waiting for an appointment that had to be pushed back, so I had an hour to kill. Debated leaving Kaiser to go to a real coffee shop, but since there weren't any nearby options popping up on my Yelp search, decided just to check out the cafeteria. I saw the sign for "fresh juice bar" and I was intrigued. I wandered around and looked at all the breakfast options. The pastries didn't look super appetizing but the hot food bar looked yummy. There were several employees in line for hot breakfast and one got a Belgian waffle that I was pretty jealous of! Haha. Prices seemed pretty reasonable, definitely cheaper than a coffee shop but perhaps more than other hospital cafeterias. For example, the waffle was $5.50 and the grab and go breakfast burritos under the heat lamp were $4.95 (both veggie and with meat were the same price which seems a little unfair?). Anyway, I ended up getting a caramel macchiato at the little Starbucks/fresh juice bar hidden in the far corner and it tasted as expected, and was priced the same as Starbucks. The barista was definitely generous with the caramel. Everything was very clean and staff were wearing hair covers. I wouldn't hesitate to eat here next time. read more

I thought sure I reviewed this place already but I guess not. As other reviewers say, this place is awesome. Been here twice now while waiting for a friend to finish her appointment. Both times I had the best minestrone soup and potato salad. They have free wi-fi just open a browser and type kaiserpermanente.org and you should get a sign-in page. The line for the chef's specials have long waits when I've been there so I just opt for the soup and salad bar. Grab some containers and fill them up. At the cashier, the containers are weighed and priced. Credit Card friendly. I highly recommend. Good luck though trying to bring friends with you to eat here, I've been unsuccessful so far, none of my friends wants to eat lunch in a hospital cafe. read more

Very delicious tuna melt... I love the food as well the staff... Very nice and friendly.. Way to go Kaiser..

Had a really bad experience at this hospital after giving birth, but this cafeteria was great. Usually hospitals have nasty food, but the food here was amazing!! Only bad thing I gotta say is there was a big ass spider on the damn table as I was eating. Nasty.... read more

When my colleague mentioned the Kaiser Cafeteria... I had my doubts. People always say food from the hospital is the worst, why would I voluntarily eat there? But I found the Kaiser Cafeteria to be great for a few reasons. One, you can count on a hospital to have healthy and tasty choices for their food. Two, the prices are absolutely affordable. Three, their facility is great. There's plenty of seating. Everything is new and clean. It's a great lunch spot for the local businesses around the area, including mine. read more

Have eaten at the cafeteria a half dozen times, primarily breakfast and lunch. Food flavor and quality is average at best. Based on the quality of the food it's pricing is expensive. Coffee is Pete's brand, and is good. There is a diverse selection. Vending machine snacks are expensive. read more

Cost too much i know its healthier options but its not more to eat healthy unless everything is organic which lets face it its not.
