For visitors and employees alike, the gift shop and cafeteria are hands down the best offered in any medical facility in the valley. I have had the opportunity to work or visit many valley hospitals and can attest that Banner Baywood's gift shop and cafeteria are superior.
The Gift shop is a great place to get unique jewelry that is NOT clunky-junky. They have really cute selections that vary from week to week; I have even purchased shoes in the gift shop!
The cafeteria is very well organized and offers amazing selections of fresh fruits/veggies and home made soups. Each day you have a selection of grill items, specialty items, and the stand-by home made chili that is so good you may just become addicted to it. (Consider yourself warned!)
The cafeteria has ample seating and is well maintained. There is also an atrium where you can dine in an 'outdoor' type setting. Enjoy the jukebox while you dine... and maybe pop over to the Java Cafe for some Starbuck's Coffee or teas along with decadent pastries.
