Sandwiches and pastries are fine grab-and-go food, but the food is completely over-priced. Of course, convenience will drive up prices but its gotten a little ridiculous.
Despite these semi-high prices, the service completely ruins any positive attributes of the cafe. My first year at the law school (2012-2013), the baristas were excellent, providing efficient and quality service. Obviously, Charlie's just lucked out with the two main baristas during that year. Its apparent that they have not even attempted to adequately train their workers or adequately staff this cafe with enough workers to handle the demand. This leads to high wait times, terrible service, and "hangry" (ahem, administration that means hungry plus angry) law students.
Needs improvement pronto!
