I've been here like six times and I love it. The pricing are not bad at all. Carlos (or Karlos) is super nice and he makes amazing Spiced Chai Lattes! Great place to grab a bite or a drink, highly recommend it :)!

A good place for a quick bite (sandwiches and muffins) and coffee. A bit pricey though. Good seating arrangement. Conveniently located on the ground floor of IGB. and, they have honey collected fresh from the honey bees so use it up for your latte or just a honey spread.

After all the post-covid closures, it's wonderful to see Array is still trucking along in mid quad and serving incredibly affordable lunch + coffee options. Sandwiches, hot dogs, pastries, ice cream. Really well stocked with options.
