    Could be better, but the Berklee Caf is absolutely the most convenient thing ever.

    I have visited over the summer and the food tasted like it came from a restaurant. One of the faculty had said they were having not the best day with cooking and I was surprised because of ho good it still tasted.

    Berklee has become more advanced when it comes to food and dining. The cafeteria has been renovated and changed quite a bit and is open pretty much all day for the students. The Berklee Card is an add-money system that you can use at the cafeteria with a meal plan or at the neighboring restaurants and coffee shops. Berklee is currently adding more and more restaurants to accept the Berklee card, and with an easy and functional online way to add money, this card is great for any student.

    I've never eaten at the caf but I've only heard bad things from everyone about it. There's a few restaurants close to Berklee that are good to eat at. Some fast food restaurants and others.

    There are many great restaurants around Berklee. Most students tend to eat in the cafeteria, or the caf. The food in the caf is pretty good considering that it is cafeteria.

    On campus cafeteria (where there are often late night performances and concerts by fellow students. Dining doesn't get much better than that!) There are tons of nearby and affordable places to grab food between classes!

    You get sick of the food really quickly and it's pretty expensive. The meal plans work and are convenient.

    The cafe is a personal choice I think. Some people really like it, others really hate it. Personally I really don't like cafe food. But if you live in the dorms then you have to get meals in the cafe and it's an all you can eat sort of place and they make specialty meals and deserts and have a salad bar, so you definitely have a lot to pic from and the guys that work there are typically really nice and like chatting with us.

    Berklee has a cafeteria with it's own food. I have never eaten there, but I do hear that they offer great food. I know that they offer meal plans for that you purchase per semester, and it is pretty reasonably priced, and it includes 3 meals. If you aren't under a meal plan, you can still purchase a meal, or you may eat on the many other options Berklee has around it's campus.
