Koch Café

After eating at stata exclusively for so long, finally trying Koch Café was a treat. Although the selection is far more limited, I found that the food was prepared with more care and overall higher quality. It is expensive but that's not exclusive to Koch as many places on campus are pricey. A must try to diversify your campus eating experience.

Sandwiches are high quality for the fairly cheap price. Pretty good steal if on the MIT campus

Serves the expected college cafeteria-like fare. Great place for a business meeting or to study.

Edit. They surprisingly improved their service: no food rationing anymore! Choose whatever you want and then pay by weight. If they add a free water source like , will give them 5 stars.

No free water source. They charge 10c for a cup and send you to a potable water fountain across the hall . This is surprising, free water is a basic health need.

Food rationing /portioning and limited variety of hot entrees. Koch cafe is basically a Soviet cafeteria of 80s. I really do not understand why I cannot customize my own meal and pay by weight, like in Sloan cafe. Instead, I am forced to choose among 3 standard hot entrees served by a dummy who is doing nothing other than putting standardized meals into boxes. His time can be better spent, or Koch cafe's costs could be made more efficient.
