The plate is my favorite. Food is always fresh and the breakfast burritos are the best.

They have the best taste of Starbucks hot chocolate ever! I have never seen restaurant with Starbucks. Amazing delicious food, I would definitely go there again:)

Ordered a chicken cesar salad. The lettuce was not drained. There was too much rotbin my salad. The croutons were homemade but still had the taste of greasy oil. Will not eat there again.

I come here for lunch and I absolutely love it. It's so conveniently located right next to my job and the best part is they have a Starbucks inside...Winning! The food is great, they serve a variety of things suck as burgers, sandwiches, salads, kabobs, melts etc. Everyday they have a specula menu so it's ideal to call to see what they are serving. There is some seating inside and seating outside. Parking is not so great considering that's it located right on brand where there is no parking meters but you can find parking atriums the corner. The staff is very friendly and they always make sure the lines are short so the wait is never long. I come here a lot and happy they are here.

Ordered California Chicken Wrap and Sweet Potato Fries. Fries were overcooked and avocado in my wrap was hard, unripe. Avocado was also discolored, appearing unfresh. Won't order again. 3 stars because other items are done better. This meal was a fail.

Good food for the price. Nice interior look but the line area doesn't make sense and is easily overloaded. Servuce was rushed but nice.

Nothing to write home about, but a decent option on days I have to trek to the office. Their menu isn't huge, but their pesto panini sandwich is quite good. The best part is their online ordering system that allows you to choose your pickup time. I've done this twice and so far, they've been punctual. Now that I've put that out there, my next order is sure to be delayed, right?

I come here for the coffee & coffee cake during breaks and it's usually not packed in the mornings. Bbq bacon Burger is good and probably the only thing I've tried.
Don't trust anyone giving this place 5 stars. They have zero taste in food. Must be friends with the owners or workers. I've eaten here many times in the last year, and as recent as last week (end of May 2019) . I think I've ordered everything (sandwiches, salads, breakfast, etc) they have except for the pasta. It's close to work and the food is passable. I'll give you an idea what their food is like. Go to a regular starbucks, order their food that is refrigerated and packaged. They heat it up, and give it to you in a bag. That's the equivalent of what you're getting here, except they have a kitchen instead of a convection oven. Similar quality, similar flavor. You can eat it, it's not bad, but you wouldn't confuse it for a diner you love or a mom and pop cafe. Oh, it's better than panera bread, if you like that. (Psst, panera is the worst). I'll give some examples. bagels are store bought. Probably because they last longer. The salad bar is charged by the pound, but a lot of the stuff in there doesn't look like it's been touched or regularly rotated, so it appears dry and stale. The soda machine is never calibrated correctly. Everything tastes water down, and half the flavors aren't available. Sandwiches, kind of lacking meat. Fries are okay. At least they're hot most of the time. Coffee is good, it's starbucks. I get their starbucks espresso drinks, and it's exactly the same, which is the only reason I'm giving this 3 stars. Otherwise, it would be 2, just because the customer service is just not great. The girls never go the extra mile, and they're never smiling. The manager dude (owner?) is similar, but his service is a bit faster.

Nasty. bland. with clueless workers. Finally after a 30 minute wait I got a pesto panini that must have had rotten sun dried tomatoes in it so I spit it out than kindly asked if I could have it replaced with a different order.... they refused than told me "we don't do that here" even when I explained to him that i spent money on their food that I couldn't eat. Before that I also tried to order a simple Starbucks drink and the older lady clearly had no idea how to make it but I had to ask for her about it for her to finally admit that she didn't know what she was doing. Wanted a nice breakfast out but this place had drive thru quality food and charging double the price for it ~ not worth it. Very disappointing.

Outside view of California Bistro. Nice place for quick chat and quick food, say a breakfast or quick dinner. Get in when you are bothering just to fill your belly 😃

I just had the worse experience at this restaurant. My food was given away to another customer in front of my face which i patiently waited for. Apparently the other customer was having issues with his order and what appeared to be the manager or owner decide to make thing right with that customer and decided to give my order to him. I asked for my money back since i only had 30 minute lunch and wasn't able to wait for another order. I have never experienced this in my life and it gets me so furious that now i had to come back to work with no lunch. This so called bistro is on the fist floor of the building where i work at so its very convenient for me but after this experience a rather much go out of my way to eat somewhere else.
Very tasty caulifower crust pizza

Love the food, love the prices?
