  I got the egg burrito which was good (8.5/10) My friend got the ancient grains salmon bowl. The salmon from there was solid, not bad but could be better with some seasoning IMO. They rated the ancient grains bowl a 8/10. The line wasn’t too long in the morning (10am) and it’s a convenient spot to grab breakfast or lunch on campus

  good place to get some food between classes if you don't want to go off campus

  Sometimes it's super crowded so all the workers are in a rush, but other than that it's good and convenient for a Berkeley student with flex dollars

  Definitely better than the dining hall food so come here if you have meal swipes, but expect a 30 min wait during peak times (11:30-1:30 and 6-7)

  Out of all the restaurants around Berkeley that take student meal swipes, Golden Bear Café takes the metaphorical cake for one of the best places to stop by for quality food. With delicious burgers and crisp fries, along with vegan options, the GBC is a nice place to pass by when heading down to Lower Sproul Plaza or going to Dwinelle Hall for a meal. Salads, loaded fries, and a lot of beverages work as great replacements that will get you the most value out of a meal swipe. Additionally, the GBC stocks a bevy of instant ramen, drinks, and a special Peet's Coffee for the early birds that need a sip of coffee to fully wake up. Avoid prime times from 11:00 AM to 1:30 AM on school weekdays, since the line for service tends to be pretty long as students go for their lunch breaks here. Lines can be a little confusing as some of the check-out stations actually double as meal ordering stations, but that really depends on how staffed they are and how much people there is in line. Overall, if you're a student here at Berkeley and hate eating at the dining halls, Golden Bear Café is a nice place to get some grub.
