So Ive been going to div cafe nearly every day for the past two years (recently less though) so here are my thoughts. Overall, I'd say the quality of div food has gone down for breakfast. It's supposed to be one of the healthier places on campus but some of their foods aren't as good for you as you might think of you look at the ingredients (ie the eggs, which taste more like the liquid eggs than real eggs...more on that below). Breakfast: I used to be obsessed with div oatmeal but the past few months it's really hit or miss. The baked oatmeal also isn't very healthy, it's loaded with sugar and butter. Sometimes it's very dry and other times it's really creamy. Once in a while it's delicious though (less so recently). This oatmeal is not vegan and I'd love to see a healthier, vegan rendition. The eggs are often very oily and taste like liquid eggs rather than farm fresh eggs like the cafe advertises. I usually custom order egg whites since those taste more real, even though they're usually also drenched in oil. The fruit here is really overpriced. You might get 3 strawberries for $4... recommend going elsewhere for fruit. My go-to breakfast here is now the low fat Greek yogurt (I think the healthiest thing you can get here) with a side of organic, crunchy peanut butter. I sometimes add a bit of honey and it's delicious. The other options are usually lemon ricotta pancakes, French toast, etc. They also have breakfast burritos, potatoes, and grits. I haven't tried these but they look alright. Lunch: I'm not always a fan of the lunch specials but when I do go for lunch I'm usually not disappointed. Beware, the line is generally pretty long although it goes by quickly. The shrimp etouffe last week was INCREDIBLE. It comes with a side of veggies although they usually give you very minimal (I got 3 pieces of broccoli...). The week before, I got the shrimp stir fry and I asked for less sauce. The server still took extra sauce from the bottom of the pan and poured it onto my plate.... they don't really listen to requests when there's a long line. Their pastas are pretty good and the buffalo Mac and cheese is great, although definitely not a healthy option. Their wraps are decent. If you're in the mood for one its not a bad choice. The refrigerated foods (salads, sandwiches, ...) are not my favorites. They don't heat up the sandwiches there so if you get a pbj you just eat it cold. They also have apples and peanut butter. This is good but I'd recommend just buying an apple and asking for a side of peanut butter since it's much cheaper. read more
