One of the better places for coffee on campus--at least it's not a Starbucks. It's a decent place for lunch also. They have a good selection of soups. And once i had a yummy eggplant panini. The staff is always really nice. And they're down to using biodegradable containers and cutlery. I'm glad UBC food services is into composting everything.

Full disclosure: I spend money at Perugia pretty much every day, Monday through Friday. I work in the building, and if I want a coffee in the morning, a quick bite for lunch or a snack between meetings then it doesn't get much more convenient. If you added up the cash I've spent there on a weekly basis over the last 3 years, the amount would be considerable. What can I say, convenience counts for a lot.
That said, I'm actually kind of a fan of the place. The coffee is decent as UBC food services goes, and the deli food while not amazing is hearty if a touch pricey. At least once a week I'll partake in the veggie panini or the lunch wrap sans meat (usually with a tasty potato salad or broccoli slaw on the side) and I'm a sucker for a cookie when the ol' sweet tooth comes a knockin'. It's not gonna set your world on fire unless you somehow have even lower expectations for this kind of a spot than me (note to you: this is unlikely). Having worked in a building with naught in the vicinity but the hated Bread Garden, I'm happy to have something reasonably palatable available to me when I don't feel like making the trek to the SUB or the Village.
Look, it's a frigging university cafe. You spend your money, you get what you pay for. It ain't special, but it ain't gotta be special. I'm cool with that. -

In terms of UBC food services, this one's pretty good.
Being around the corner most days of the week, I've tried everything in the area and this is the best bang for the buck. Go for the quarter chicken dinner for like $8.00. Comes with salad and rice. They make a pretty good coffee, too.
Bonus: All their disposable cutlery is made of biodegradable bioplastic and their paper take away containers are made of recycled paper without coatings or styrofoam, making them fully biodegradable, too. Unbonus: they don't offer a dine-in option to use real plates and cutlery.Listed in: On Caffeine, Up on the hill @ UBC

One of the better UBC food places; they're not just a cafe, they also serve cooked food (even in the summer) which is fairly decent and relatively affordable. Their breakfast stuff is nice (the breakfast sandwich is way better than the one you'll get at the Starbuck's down the street), and the staff is all really friendly and helpful. Best selection in the mornings, by the afternoon they've cleared out of any pre-made stuff like samosa and salads and whatnot.
