The Gastronome

The Gastronome is Cal State Fullerton's first official students cafeteria available to campus residents with pre-paid mail plans as well as to other students, faculty, and staff with pay-at-the-door rates.

This stylish, modern eatery can accommodate up to 565 guests at one time and offers a wide variety of food options.

The Gastronome also features late-night dining until 1 a.m with a limited menu of items such as pizza, sandwiches and beverages.

Gastronome Personal Review:

From the time I've spent living in the dorms at Cal State Fullerton I have noticed that the food quality at the Gastronome is wildly inconsistent. At times the food quality will range from fresh and well prepared to below average tasting as if it came straight from the freezer. Thankfully there is usually a wide variety of prepared food to choose from giving students the option to avoid any food they consider unsatisfactory. The major complaint that students often raise regarding the Gastronome is the hours of operation. Currently the hours of operation is Inaccessible to most students due to their closing time of 8pm whereas most night classes do not end until 9 to 9:30; in addition their opening hours restrict students who have class at 7 in the morning depriving them of a well balanced breakfast before class starts. An additional complaint that students raise regards the bathrooms and their location. the location of the bathrooms is situated outside of the main building, forcing students to reenter the gastronome through the main entrance where they must re validate themselves into the building. Overall the Gastronome is a decent place to eat and satisfies students nutritional requirement.
