After merely two visits to the salad bar at Pumpernickel's college, I've decided it as my new go-to place for work lunch. The richness of fresh flavours in their salads had me impressed. I probably haven't tasted enough salads in my life to say this - but how can a salad be so good?
Despite previous comments addressing the portion issue, I personally find that they fill up the box quite well! I guess it could depend on the employee. I was lucky enough to have positive experience both times. On my first visit, the employee even suggested to add more into my box, since "it's still got some space". As for the second time, I asked for one scoop of each veggie and ended up getting a heavy salad box with enough portion for two meals. They literally pushed the food down to close the lid - that's how much food i got.
Their low rating on yelp surprised me. The only thing I didn't like was how early they're closing the store - on the website it says "open until 5pm", but today at 4:30pm, I cheerfully went downstairs just for their salad, only to find out that the store was already closed.
Salad 5/5
Service 5/5
Early store closure 4/5
