    Thanks Yelp for guiding me here. Campus Cafe is a local gem, a real treasure find for breakfast. Clearly it is well loved by the locals and fills up quickly with people wanting a great meal. Bacon, eggs, hashbrowns were cooked to order and perfectly satisfying. Our server was prompt, friendly and clearly knew people and how to do her job. Fresh brewed coffee was delicious. No improvements needed. ...and what's more the prices seemed surprisingly low -- or maybe I should say a really good value. Good food, in a welcoming place with sports memorabilia of the local sports team, it is clear the Campus Cafe serves it community in more ways than just good food.

    Great old school signage.

    Spent a week in Alamosa and this was hands down the best restaurant. The place is small and hidden away but it was packed everytime we went. Food was ridiculously inexpensive. They don't seat you, so be prepared to sit with strangers and make new friends. Our party had chile and eggs, biscuits and gravy (Half order) and crepes. We split the sweet roll. The sweet roll is a must have, but is fairly hidden on the menu. It was too large even for our group of 3 to finish. Wish the hours were longer as we would have had more meals here.

    Fast service. Yummy filling food. The restaurant is very small but does not stop it from being packed! The small staff is amazing at getting out food from the small kitchen and making it all delicious! All items on the menu are ranging from $2-$7.

    20 years ago Campus Cafe served the best plate of biscuits and gravy in the nation. Now they are standard  IHOP, Denny's, Village Inn ick

    20 years ago Campus Cafe served the best plate of biscuits and gravy in the nation. Mentioned in a book even. Now they are standard IHOP, Denny's, Village Inn ick. Unimpressed all around with the whole meal from the rubbery side of bacon to the buttery centric cinnamon roll to the French toast. However I like supporting local businesses. It has been a standard in town for years and provided food to college students galore. They support the college and high school sports. Glad they are still in business. Try it. You'll be glad you did.

    My husband and I had breakfast here our 2nd week living in Sanford. Service and food were good. Actually, food was simple but good, not to mention inexpensive!

    Very tasty, it could have been hotter. It's always disappointing to get a meal and it is just warm. Wait staff was very good.

Food was very good, generous, well priced, but unfortunately, the new hire didn't quite have it together yet. She was unfortunately all on her own for portion of our time there.

There was 3 other tables - it was not busy. Took a minute for menus, ok, waiter was maybe busy? but not with other tables, she was not to be seen. I just really wanted a good burger... it was my 'birthday' lunch with family. We were finally able to ask about the special that FLASHES when you go online. $5 BURGERS, Friday and SATURDAY. Was informed that's only on Friday, she was told last night. Opened APP on phone while sitting right in the restaurant, there it was, $5 burgers, Friday and Saturday. She was going to check. She didn't come back, so we left. I was so curious about their extensive menu, and really wanted a burger that I've read about being fabulous in other reviews. I doubt we'll be back, VIP or not. So disappointed. (btw - there is no ambiance.)

Loved how cute this shop was - it had so much character to enjoy. Thankful they opened so early at 7am so we were able to get some coffee. They had a great drink menu - from just coffee and espresso options to tea to blended drinks. Grabbed a Matcha and London Fog - not the best we've ever had, but still tasty and a good start to the morning. Also had nice breakfast options. Comfy seating options.

Decent coffee prices The not so pros: my latte was milk heavy - I should still at least be able to taste the beans since I didn't add any syrups. And while the bread & crispy bacon on my BLT was BOMB... there was absolutely no lettuce to be found and like 2 small bites of tomato. What you see in the photo was it (legit nothing but bacon on the other half... should have taken a photo, but I was starving lol). Added avocado for 0.50 but damn, that was skimped on too. For $10 I def expect the L&T parts to match the B provided here

While you wait, you observe the entire front of house staff working seamlessly together to move parties to there tables. We were 10 positions down the list and by 15 mins in we were up to number 4. At 21 mins wait time, we had our table and our drink orders placed. The host was remarkable at gaging the wait time, the co-host- person seating guests, was always verifying tables available on the floor matched what was on the hosts ipad so the next guests could be paged. There were two table bussers who were on dirty tables as soon as guests left. Food removed, table tops washed, seats wiped down, floors under tables swept in 2 or three mins. Host was made aware table was ready and could page next in line guest, co-host seated them, wait staff at table within a minute or two tops. It was a fine-tuned, well oiled machine. Food was great. Always up to the Chili's standard. We enjoyed the 70s light rock music in the background. Second time to visit while visiting from out of town. The first time, we visited mid day around 2. Crowd was light, food was great. We just didn't get to experience the Friday night experience. It was great to see. Other restaurants could learn from this Friday night team.
