Bustling café where all members of the medical profession congregate over a good value for money meal. The variety of hot and cold food is excellent and health conscious too, which is fitting considering it’s in the medical school.

Recently done up med school café. Plenty of seating, hot food and drinks, plug (and USB!) sockets, good place to get some work done when it's not busy

I love this little gem at QMC. Food is really good and served quickly. Not so keen on the coffee from the machines but otherwise all good
