The management and staff are very friendly and courteous to customers and each other. The food is very tasteful; nutritious; and healthy with a good variety. The service we receive is really good and it makes everyone happy when dining with An Uncommon Cafe.

My experience with cafeteria staff is always a positive one, they’re always very observant and replaces food trays promptly when almost empty, with lovely, mouthwatering, attractive full trays, and they are very efficient in handling any request we may have.

An Uncommon Cafe is my home away from home; I eat my breakfasts, lunch and several snacks just about every day and throughout the day.
