Good food, decent price. A little slow during the peak of the lunch rush but they're just getting spun back up for office reopening.

Great food at a good price. Just needs to add corned beef and hash with rice into their breakfast menu. With that, I'll go there every day for breakfast.

Always nice to eat at Alves! Unbelievably beautiful building in the middle of a veritable jungle dropped into the city. Great food at reasonable prices -- get a seat in the shade if you can, but bring sunglasses just in case!

I go here almost every day for my lunch break because they’re just way too convenient and cheap and the food is honestly really great. Definitely a nice perk of working at Apple. Lots of good choices for people with dietary restrictions and they rotate the selection almost every day, so you rarely get bored with it.

Good, clean food at reasonable prices. Lots of options for pizza and they change it up with seasonal flavors. Coffee works they have sparkling water on tap too. The best part is the customizable salads. They have more options and toppings than any place I can think of. Do get the mozzarella balls.

Great choice of meals and great quality. But sometimes too crowdy. Don't find your people again since it's quite large.

So white and spacy! Yet feels outdoors with vast windows and plants tho it's right on the street. Went with an Apple employee and there are food stations and ordering on iPads. I had an amazing leg of lamb with rice and veggies. Great food quality. Lots of drinks to choose too!
