I haven't eaten there in a few years, and I remember the sandwiches being so delicious! I decided to eat there today because all the other food on the Stanford Campus is expensive and just, bad...I forgot what a hole in the wall this place is. It is incredibly small space wise. I was there about 11:45 and fortunately there was no line. They have a great selection of sandwiches! I think there might be pizza too, but if so, it was not apparent. They have a very small selection of chips/snacks and bottled/canned drinks.The service is a little off. The people at the counter are clearly not experienced sandwich makers. I was the only person in the store, yet it took almost 5 minutes for 2 people to make a veggie sandwich. Lots of chatter between them and the person at the register. Glad you enjoy your job.The most disappointing part was the actual sandwich. It was SO small!! $12.50 and it was smaller than my hand. The ingredients, the few that were on the there, were fresh and seemed like good quality. But honestly, it was mostly shredded lettuce. They mound everything into the center of the bread so that if you bite from the middle, it tastes like you got all of the toppings. Then on subsequent bites, you realize that it is all lettuce. I took apart the other half of the sandwich and what I found was 2 tiny pieces of black olive, 1 slice of pepperoncini (not one pepperoncini, one SLICE of pepperoncini), 3 pieces of chopped tomato, 2 slivers of red onion, maybe a teaspoon of sprouts, half a piece of avocado and NO pickle...I can get a better, heartier and more satisfying sandwich at Togo's or even Subway!! That says a great deal about this place.

Expensive sandwich.$11 for a roast beef sandwich. 3 thin slices. It's okay.It's convenient when you don't have much choice.

11/5/20- Small sandwich deli located on the medical campus of Stanford. Nice, quiet place to have a lunch break, especially if you're a student rushing to and from classes/labs! -Lox sandwich on Dutch Crunch bread-Included salmon, lettuce, tomato, onion, bell pepper, olives, pickles, and pepperoncini. The sandwich was also supposed to come with mayo but I definitely got cream cheese in mine. Not sure if someone got the two mixed up or if they ran out of mayo. Overall, the flavor of the sandwich wasn't bad but I was disappointed with how it was made. All of my salmon was smashed into the middle section and the 1/3 ends of my sandwich was just bread and lettuce. The sandwich was also very messy to eat with ingredients fall out or moving around with each bite. The Dutch Crunch bread also had no "crunch"...wish they would toast their subs! I heard that for their hot sandwiches, only the meat is toasted but not the bread. Would have loved a crispy, crackly exterior to my sandwich! -Cafe experience and ambience-Ordering was very simple and fast. They also serve coffee, smoothies, chips, etc. My sandwich came out within a couple of minutes. I also love the vibe of CSSR cafe in general. There's lots of glass and the architecture at Stanford has a very modern design. If not for COVID, I would be camped out in this area much more often. There's quite a few tables set up so it's a great place to rest. -Price/value-My lox sandwich was about $9-10, which is the price of most sandwiches here. Not too bad of a price for a slightly above-average sandwich but wouldn't go out of my way to eat here. I had a busy day on campus and this cafe was definitely a convenient location to grab a simple lunch. It's not my favorite place but it is still a good option if you're on the run and need a fast meal!

SO ill be honest as evidenced by my checkins Nexus is my go to here but there are times,and times being the key factor, that the CCSR Cafe hits the spot. As work dictates sometimes I cannot meet the hard 230 pm cutoff at Nexus. Other times you just need a great deli sandwich and this is a great place to get one. First off the lines can be horrendous during peak hours. That being said the service is quick and friendly. I also really appreciate that the person handling the money is NOT the person making at sandwich. Its a heck of sandwich as well. As always my Mendoza Line sammy is a Roast Beef with Swiss cheese. Its a basic order, its impossible to hide crappy ingredients and it lets face it very very tasty. The Roast beef is perfectly pink and tasty. The ingredients like the sprouts, onions, lettuce and tomato are fresh. The mustard and mayo are nothing special but deftly applied in perfect amounts. The dutch crunch is not quite up to Ike's standards but its a close second. It is a sandwich at its best. Simple but well executed They actually quite an extensive collection of chips, as well as the usually suspects in terms of beverages. As a plus they recently updated the outside furniture/tables and it no longer looks like a tetanus shot waiting to happen.

Everyone knows I am a sucker for a sammich. And when you are on the road sometimes you just want something simple...like...oh...I don't know...2 pieces of unbuttered and toasted sourdough, a grilled chicken breast, a little mustard, and some dill pickles. A simple lunch was craved and received. The ladies taking my order were very nice and very fast at making the sammich. At $9 it is a little pricy, but it is exactly what I wanted. No sodium, fat, grease, or clarified butter overload here. Just a good lil sammich. Next time I am at Stanford, I would put money on me eating here again. For the decent campus fares, speed, smiles, and simple food, sometimes the comforting things are the best. 4 stars.

This place is bomb, love the sandwiches here. Hidden gem on the hospital campus, just wish it was open nights & weekends. Sandwiches are huge and they have a great selection to choose from as well as awesome toppings. There is usually a line out the door but the staff are friendly, efficient & hardworking so it moves along. They also have a good selection of drinks, chips & sweets. Cheaper than the hospital cafeteria for sure.

Things I miss about Stanford:1-LuttickensOk, that's about all I miss. Is that kind of sad? I always walked over here and got a roast beef with avocado on the dutch crunch roll. A bit pricey but I was eating this sandwhich for like three days.

Excellent sandwiches and great service. High quality and good value. My favorite is chicken breast and swiss cheese on a whole wheat roll. Best lunch on the Stanford campus.

Giving it 3 stars because most of the staff there are very sweet. Food is ok but kind of pricey for what they serve you. Vibe is chill, I love eating here on a sunny day because it's laid back and quiet. Been here plenty of times but the last 3 times I've run into the same staff member who had rubbed me the wrong way. First time she let her boyfriend or husband jump me in line because he had to go back to work. I work also and only have 30 mins. Second time I saw her have a running nose, might be allergies or a cold who knows but she kept rubbing her nose with the gloves she was making my sandwich . This last time she let someone else cut in front of me to pay even though I already had my sandwich and chips in hand ready to pay. Third time is the charm and only reason why i am writing this review.
