Cafetaria Prices

From this it can be seen that the cafe's prepared meals - salads, hot meals and the restaurant's menu are substantially cheaper than downtown. So are coffee and tea. Cakes and sandwiches are certainly not cheaper, and nor I think is the quality better. We get fancier squiggles of cream on the top, but this doesn't really make them taste that much nicer. Thus I don't think the effort in making cakes, sandwiches and pies on the premises in really justified. However many of the shops I visited told me they were going to increase their prices shortly, so perhaps the situation may change.

One complaint I do have to make is about the overpricing of fruit in the cafeteria. Apples can be bought anywhere else for 6c each; in the cafe they are 15c. And oranges that cost 12c each are sold for 20c

In summary I don't think the cafe is generally too dear, although in some areas it is substantially cheaper.
