I'm never usually on the Western avenue side of campus, and I was wondering if anyone can tell me or proivde me with a map of the location of Ralph's cafe?

Thanks.

It's in the Arena sports centre, the ugly building on your left as you look towards Manning from the Physics building.

It's at I12 on this map.

yeah good coffee. crap service. the boys there think they're god's gift to woman (and they're really not...) I'd rather pay 80c extra at the coffee carts than go to ralph's.
hey ralphs son (the big brother one) only spends about 2 hours each morning greasing and curling his hair for the day... take that back

i've been at uni 3.5 years and have never gone here, despite the rep

is the coffee seriously any better than the rest of campus?

I don't really detect any difference, but I'm not exactly a coffee connoisseur. The quality of the coffee at the coffee carts varies a lot depending on the barista, though.

Don't go to Ralph's for food. It's even more disgustingly overpriced than the rest of the places on campus.

ive only been there once and i didnt get coffee, but ive heard its good. the coffee at the carts is fine though, ive never had an issue with it (although like triangulum im not exactly an expert...my definition of good coffee is more along the lines of 'does it wake me up' and 'how big is it' lol)
but yeah ralphs food is heaps overpriced and not noticeably better than anything you could also get at wentworth, manning etc.

Hey the food there is good too. I've had breakfast there twice this week, and its quite reasonably priced too, considering its decent food. This morning I had a breakfast burger thing which had real bacon, a real poached egg and spinach in it (As opposed to the plastic stuff the union calls breakfast) and a soy capp for $7

You can also get 2 poached eggs on sourdough toast and spinach with coffee for $7.

I don't mind paying more for quality food. Some may disagree with me.

The best coffee is the middle floor of Manning.

That 35-40 year old ish Italian looking dude is fucking great.

I go there pretty much every day I am at uni.

Yeah the prices at Ralph's are worth it I say. Food at Manning isn't anything special but those toasted rolls at Ralph's are quality. Considering also that a bowl of crap pasta at Manning is about $7 with an Access Card and most of the rolls at Ralph's are less than that I'll take Ralph's any day.
