The Lighthouse Cafe is my place of choice when getting food at CSUCI. The best pro for the cafe is the convenience, especially if you only have a 15 minute gap between classes. The Cafe is in the center of the campus (at the Student Union) so it's easier to grab food on the go rather than going up the big hill to get to the market square. What's nice is that they give it to you in a to-go container so that you can grab it and take it class with you (which I do 95% of the time).
The Chicken Strips and French fries are really good and are my usual go-to. However they do have other things such as Salads, Deli Sandwiches, Soup of the Day, and their grilled menu (Burgers, chicken wraps, etc).
The people who work there are typically students. Customer service is good, they're pretty fast, friendly, and if they are making a new batch of something they're pretty good at telling you how long it will be.
Overall Summary: Fast, convenient, Tastes good, beats eating cup of noodles everyday read more
