Mediocre energy. You'd probably do better cooking at home.

The epitome of "does the job." Safe enough, food's fine. But let's be honest — your kitchen's probably cleaner AND tastier.

Clean but don’t expect culinary miracles.

W.E.C. Refectory is a hidden university stop for caffeine and carbs. Rocco’s coffee is apparently top-notch, and people rave about the vegan options. But don’t get too excited—when it comes to actual food, it’s a bit of a mixed bag. The chicken and chips might keep you coming back, but let’s be real, the ramen is a culinary crime that should come with a warning. Just remember: it’s all clean enough to eat off the floor, but the culinary experience might leave you questioning your life choices.

The vibe here is typical university chaos, so expect a crowd, especially when the students are on a break. Sure, the lady running the baked potato stand is friendly, but how much can you really enjoy your meal when you’re dodging hordes of students? It’s cheap, it’s cheerful, and it fulfills a need. Just don’t expect Michelin stars or existential food enlightenment while you’re there. 😅
