    CCSR Cafe view
    Jonica K.

    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.

Not an afterthought, not stale by noon--fresh, crackly, and actually worthy of building a sandwich around.

They offer multiple bread choices, a variety of cheeses, and different spreads so you can build exactly what you're craving. It feels elevated compared to a typical deli. The chip selection is a standout -- more than 10 flavors of Kettle Brand chips, plus guac and salsa chips. If you like options, you'll appreciate the variety. And the drink selection? Packed. Soft drinks, a wide range of local beers, and more choices than most convenience stores. On top of that, they serve café drinks and Dreyer's ice cream -- so you can grab coffee, lunch, snacks, and dessert all in one stop. Clean, well-stocked, and clearly run with attention to detail. Definitely a spot I'll keep coming back to.

Once seated, they bring the food out to you using your table number. Overall, the service was decent.

There's a lot of outdoor seating, but there was still a line out the door when we arrived. The space itself is large, spacious, and has a nice atmosphere overall.

It usually takes me two and a half hours but hey I get to see my friends and drop in on Dittmer's. I usually buy the smoked ham hocks because I am addicted to a Cuban black bean soup. I have tried smoked ham hocks from other sources, but the results were so bad that I threw out the soup. The only place I have found that has true smoked ham hocks is Dittmer's. I noticed the price of ham hocks has gone up. But many of the other prices have held steady. The store remains neatly organized and is spic and span. It's kind of what you would expect from a German shop. Carlo's black bean soup from All around the world cookbook by Sheila Lukins. Totally worth a 2.5 hour drive. 2 pounds of black beans Quarter cup olive oil 3 cups, diced onions Eight cloves of garlic, bruised and peeled. One smoked ham hock 6 quarts water 2 tablespoons +1 teaspoons ground cumin 1 tablespoon dried oregano Three bay leaves. 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper Pinch of cayenne 6 tablespoons chopped flat leaf parsley 6 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves. 1 teaspoon salt Two medium red bell peppers, diced reserve a quarter of a cup for the garnish Quarter cup dry sherry 1 tablespoon pack of brown sugar 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice. One cup of crème fraîche or sour cream. Soak the beans overnight, drain and rinse. Heat the oil over low heat and sweat the onions and garlic, about 10 minutes. Add the beans with the ham and the water to a large pot. Stir in the 2 tablespoons cumin, the oregano, bay leaves, black pepper, cayenne, and 2 tablespoons each of the parsley in cilantro. Bring to a boil, then simmer, uncovered until the beans are very tender and the liquid is reduced by about 3/4. This will take about one and a half to two hours. Transfer the bone to a plate and let it cool slightly. shred the meat and return it to the pot. Stir in the remaining 4 tablespoons parsley, 2 tablespoons cilantro, salt, and all except 1/4 of a cup of the bell peppers, the remaining 1 tablespoon cumin, the sherry, brown sugar and, lime juice. Simmer another 30 minutes, stirring frequently. Adjust the seasoning and serve hot. Garnish with a dollop of crème fraîche and a sprinkling of the diced peppers and chopped cilantro. Eight large servings or 12 small portions.
