The atmosphere and the service are good and grat price given the quantity. Maybe too much pickled food.

The wheat bread on my sandwich could have been much better, very flat, with not much air. Besides that the sandwich was okay.Our pizza had good flavor, but was burnt on the edges.

It was my first time visiting the Deli. The service food and food was really good. For being in Palo Alto the prices were not bad. Definitely making a return visit.

Food and service are somewhat hit or miss. In terms of the food, the meatball sub is consistently delicious and I highly recommend it (although it's a bit expensive). Other items are not as great. For example, when I bought a lox bagel, they put so little lox that it only covered one half (as just one semi-circle) of the the bagel, so fully half the bagel was just some cream cheese between bagel slices. The service can also feel kind of rude at times.

I love the sandwiches here, and I recently started eating gluten-free. I just had a lettuce wrap club: 1/2 turkey, 1/2 ham, 3 strips bacon, and it's fantastic. Lots of great crunch you don't get in a sandwich, even. Definitely recommended if you're on the lookout for gluten-free options on campus!Dietary restrictions: Good gluten free option in the lettuce wrap

Delish!Unfortunately online ordering stops at two and they don’t take phone orders so there’s no way to order ahead from 2 to 3 PM
New favorite lunch spot on campus, a little pricey but great tasting beef meatball sandwich with huge portions

Decent place to get a sandwich on campus during the pandemic.

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!
