Saladelia American Tobacco Campus

Saldelia is a unique food with classic and eclectic dishes, fresh and fast, ideal for lunch or dinner. I think his a bit expensive for a sandwich or pasta salad, but they have the best white Albacore tuna salad! Free parking and wheelchair accessible

I can only describe this place as mad decent. 4 Stars only because the staff is friendly. They have tons of seats great for coffee-shop working WITH VIRTUALLY NO ACCESSIBLE OUTLETS. BEC Bagel was mad decent.

Indoor seating but you can always sit outside on one of the public chairs. Good coffee and great looking food. There's also a barber shop next door in case you need a touch up.

I've been working on campus and have been frequenting this spot for a over a year now. In most cases, I've had a good experience. The male barista is amazingly friendly and makes good drinks. (Caramel crush). I had an issue with another barista a while ago, 2 times she left chunks of ice in my drink but another barista remade it for me, who wasn't very friendly either. However, TODAYs experience is what downgraded them from what would have been 4 stars to a 2. I ordered an organic oatmeal and no drink because my favorite barista wasn't making drinks at the time. I got to my desk, opened the oatmeal, and the container was full of water. So, I waited....about 15 minutes even though the instructions say 2 -3 minutes. After 15 minutes, my oatmeal was cooked, but container still FULL of water. So, I took it back. The cashier (NOT my favorite male barista), just took the bag and asked me to pass her another oatmeal to make. No apology or anything. So, I just asked for a refund and she shrugged her shoulders and said ok. Then, I still ordered my Caramel Crush because my barista was back to making drinks. She never apologized OR thanked me for my purchase. Good food, good drinks, but some of the staff are just rude and/or unfriendly.

This review is for the Saladelia on Blackwell Street in case there is any question. Only went once. This is a very small matter, but was irritating. Simply asked for a small cup of regular coffee with a shot of caramel. I was informed that they had not had caramel syrup for 2 weeks since their distributor had not provided it. No apology given, just a rather brusque statement that they didn't have it. It is readily available at local grocery stores. Someone who really cared about their customers would have taken care of that problem. I enjoy the Saladelia on University Drive.
