    I would gladly eat in the Cafeteria here forever! They have a wide variety: from salad bar, stir fry, sand which bar, pizza, soup, cookies and so much more! The best part is it is buffet and serve yourself style.

    The food services at Biola are decent but nowhere near great. The Caf at Biola is highly raved about and for a cafeteria is okay.

    I have always heard that the food here is good, and it is! They have different types of food on different days in the cafeteria. There are several restaurants on campus, including Eagles, as well. You can use your meal plan at the restaurants.

    Food at Biola is so good! So many chefs work so hard to provide meals for everyone the entire day. They are really nice and put out the best that they can do.

    The Caf' has excellent food consistently. You may grow tired of it after a couple years, but it is always quality food with fresh ingredients. There's also a coffee shop on campus and a couple other dining options for flex dollars.

    The campus food at The Caf is very good. It's a smorgasbord of delicious home-felt food that many people love to enjoy. From pizza and soft serve ice cream, to homemade roast chicken, pastas and soups - you can always find something you will enjoy.

    The cafeteria at first was great, but eating there everyday can give you a slight change in appetite. That is why it is nice to have flex points to purchase food at Eagles Nest or drinks from Common Grounds. They are great places to eat when you're tired of the cafeteria.

    The food is pretty good, but after a while you can get tired of it. Recently though they have a new food truck so there's more choices on where you want to eat.
