    Chicken Caesar Wrap
    Theresa A.

    Love this little local gem! My son loves the teriyaki chicken bowl and I love the chicken Caesar spinach wrap! Excellent quality food and service is amazing. We also love the tea selection in the coolers!

    Customer service was kind and helpful also brought out our food to us that was a plus for us girls and we were a party of 4. The person (man) who took our order was all smiles. Clean place family owned and presentation of food and taste was amazing. Ambience was relaxing pond with turtle and koi fish . Thanks for the welcoming experience we will be back.

    Wow! The best sandwich I've had in a long time! This place is a little hard to find, but once you see the water fountains you're in the right place! The inside is a bit small but there is plenty of outside seats. The sandwich I ordered was SO GOOD! It had tons of fresh ingredients and was huge. It was absolutely delicious. The ham I was surprised was excellent, it tasted as if it was cooked for hours. I loved how many fresh vegetables were on it as well. I can't wait to come back to try more of the menu, definitely check this place out!

    Wednesday special: chicken teriyaki bowl
    Michelle A.

    If you work in the Palomar Airport area you know the deli options are pretty endless, almost every business park has at least one of their own yet I return almost exclusively to Campus Cafe for my lunchtime needs. Years ago I worked around the corner so when I found myself working in these parts again I made my way back. Do yourself a favor and sign up for the daily specials email or at least call and ask what they are before you go in because I basically only order off of them. Favorites: chicken teriyaki, turkey focaccia sandwich, chicken curry and today I tried to Korean spicy chicken stew and it did not disappoint either. The staff is all very friendly and will remember you by name once you come around a couple of times. The business park its in has many shaded tables with a pond that is nice to take a step away from your desk and actually enjoy your lunch, which I should really do more often (shes says eating lunch at her desk ;) )

    Chicken pesto caesar wrap
    Lianne S.

    Campus has been my latest lunch/breakfast obsession for the last few weeks! Ever since the first time I ordered the breakfast burrito, I've been back at least twice a week. It's that good! I've also had their chicken pesto caesar wrap and BLT. Both amazing! You can really tell they care about making delicious food (and they really do). Portions - huge, enough for 2 Location - 1 min drive from my office and lovely pond patio to have lunch Customer service - extremely friendly Food - 10/10 Truly nothing bad to say I'm obsessed!!

    First experience was great, second not so much. I ordered the sunrise bagel sandwich and the bagel had mold The bibmbap is great and owners are friendly... but I probably won't be back.

    Teriyaki combo special
    Doris W.

    Came here for lunch today because of the reviews. It's down the street from my work. I called in an order, asked for their daily specials and was told today's special was a Teriyaki Combo which includes Teriyaki chicken, 4 pieces California Roll, and a side salad. For less than $9.00. Add a lil Siracha and it was perfect! Their menu looks strictly like a deli sandwich shop, but it seems like their daily special is something Asian with rice.

Syrups seem to be a mixture of homemade, Torani, and twenty two barista. I noticed they had many vegan options in terms of pastries Service was friendly! Somewhat limited seating inside, no more than 30 seats probably. 3 outlets available. Wifi and bathroom available. The only downside I would note is the noise level is a bit on the higher side even with noise cancelling headphones, difficult to study or take meetings here. It's much more of a social or grab and go coffee shop. The offer discounts for teachers, first responders, and transit workers as it is conveniently located across the street from Oceanside Transit Center. They also have a points system tied to your phone number. Would come back for coffee!

    I am very confused at the hype and reviews for this restaurant. It's an okay brunch spot at best…read more The attention for this place is driven by dishes catered towards Instagram and eating with your eyes, not the actual experience of eating with your hands and mouth. It's tough to get a table for a weekend noon. I booked our reservation a few weeks ahead of time. Parking is either near the train tracks across the street or on the curb. We got the egg dish and salad bowl. The yogurt for the eggs was deliciously spiced; dipping in the toasted bread into the gooey poached egg, creamy yogurt, and herbs was delicious! My issue with this dish were the herbs that were too large. Was I expected to stick a big piece of herb on my toast? The dish is saucy with the chili oil so my clothes were dirty with the oil covered herbs. Chop the herbs smaller for practicality! Another dish suffered from the execution. We got the bowl which I thought was going to be a grain bowl. Rather, it was a ridiculously-sized salad--as much leaves as a pack from the grocery store! There were toppings within like slices of avocado, pieces of orange, farro, and nuts. I felt like I was trying to treasure hunt to look for these pieces. The salad was comically oversized. It was dressed fine but suffered from the portion size. You could see this theme with the French toast too where you get 1/3 of a baked bread. I'm honestly confused by this chef who has amazing experience. Why do you construct dishes that are difficult and impractical to eat? Less is more. These dishes need extensive edits. How this place got Bib Gourmand is honestly surprising to me.

We each got to order a pot of tea, so we decided to order 5 different ones to try out more flavors together. The ones we picked were: -Jasmine orange oolong - Coconut milk green tea - Earl grey lavender - Vanilla cream -Strawberry rose champagne oolong tea My top two favorites were the jasmine orange oolong and the coconut milk green tea. The only flavor that none of us enjoyed was the strawberry rose champagne oolong tea, so when it came time for refills, we switched it to the rouge provence. For the food, there were four finger sandwiches: chicken breast, smoked salmon, cucumbers, and chopped spinach. We all liked the chicken breast one the most, and felt like the cucumbers and chopped spinach could have been combined into one sandwich for a more balanced flavor. For sweets, there was the seasonal scone, fruit tart, macaron, and donut. I loved the scone with the butter and fruit preserves, as well as the fruit tart. The service was polite, but a bit slow and we waited a while before our food arrived. There was only one person who was serving the entire afternoon tea area, so it's understandable that there's a longer wait. All in all, I would definitely come back for another afternoon tea experience!
