We liked this cafe for a quick snack during the Engineering Week activities. It's located within the John Curtin School of Medical Research on Garran Road. The location itself is spectacular and worth a visit to see the futuristic architecture and meet scientists working on ground breaking medical research. It also does great coffee and cakes.

This cafe has really tasty, cheap lunches and breakfasts. I particularly like the chicken burgers, and pancakes! It's comfortable to sit in, not crowded, and well worth the walk.

Vanilla Bean is one of the best places to grab a bite on the ANU Campus. It is well worth the trek to the other side of campus for those not in the Medical School. The quality of food parallels that of Gods but the prices are not as high. It is a great place for coffee and breakfast!

It's a little bit off the beaten track, but Vanilla Bean is a lovely light-filled cafe with wonderful food and great coffee options.

Definitely one of the best places to chill at the ANU. A pity that their opening hours are short. This cafe offers a nice ambience. Food and coffee are actually good although breakfast is too pricey for me.

Lil did I realize that this swanky cafe might be the gem of the building, or campus, for that matter. Food is tasty and not what you'd expect to find within university grounds. Try the tandoori chicken pizza, or the myriad of toasted sandwiches and wraps. Even the waffles are good!

While the meals are a little pricey, the coffee is great, but overall a very pleasant dining experience. Can get busy at lunch, but just shows that it is popular.

Although this cafe is on the ANU campus, it's not just for students or staff - it's good enough to bring guests as well. The menu is limited but the specials are always good and interesting, and the serves are hearty - you won't leave hungry. The sandwiches are especially good value, and the cakes and desserts are divine.

The Good:
The friendly customer service - the manager is a rare find, consistently friendly.
The Bad:
It gets very busy at 12.30 pm and the service can be a bit slow then.

The Barrista is the slowest on Earth.....and looks like he swam to work with his wet head gel look.

I have to say I agree with the additional comment. And I should add - the waitstaff are consistently friendly - but i'm not sure how much of that is due to sheer pressure from the manager - I saw one girl leave crying last week having been completely blasted after merely serving the wrong cutlery!

I have been working @ Vanilla bean for around a week. Could not stand arguments with manager any longer. The main "idea" of the argument was providing "too much of dining experience" for the clients :)
