Red Door Cafe — Restaurant in Pasadena

I graduated from this campus 19 years ago, and back then, the staff in Red Door Cafe were all nice and super friendly. Today I went back to campus for a conference tomorrow, and 16-hour jet lagged. I had no energy to go out for dining so I just wanted to buy sth simple and quick on campus. I ordered a salmon avocado toast. When I received it, I found out the salmon was not fully cooked. I asked about it and was told by a staff member that it was smoked. I thought maybe this was intended for breakfast so it was smoked (but not thin slices, quite large thick slices).

There is also a Caltech's gift shop adjacent to the cafe, but apparently, it is closed on Saturdays...

The yogurt was in a plastic bowl, the spoon to eat it was in a plastic package with plastic cutlery (including plastic fork and knife, which I did not need) and a colleague who ordered a hot breakfast got it in a plastic pot. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE, NOT FOR A CALTECH CAFE'! So if you care about what is happening to our...
