Originally went to get breakfast. It's literally in a corporate building so very hard to find. A little pricey, but the Korean lady offered us free coffee, said the manager was paying for it.

Good latte. A little hard to find (it's in an office building) and not somewhere you'd go for the atmosphere but if you want good coffee it'll do.

Found this hole in the wall one day for lunch as I was craving a Philly cheese steak sandwich. And I'm so glad I did! This cafe is located inside a business building, sort of like a cafeteria. This place was clean and service was outstanding. I ordered a Philly cheese steak and a Cobb salad, my craving was satisfied! The food was tasty and portion was huge, you definitely get the bang for you buck! Now I have another go-to spot for lunch and I highly recommend giving this cafe a try!

I really don't know what that HDSCORES is all about, seriously yelp. The food here is awesome and prepared fresh daily. I never once had any issues with the food because you get more than you paid for. It's always fresh and it's all from scratch which is a huge plus for me. They oven roast turkey every morning also. It's not easy to find a good breakfast & delis around the area. I'm just so glad that they are serving items in a reasonable price you can't normally find from other places. Like french dip, chicken katsu, lasgna, chicken teriyaki, taco salad, chicken burrito, split pea soup, minestrone, and so on. This is actually a late review. I don't work in that area anymore but I used to grab food from this place almost every day. It's worth every penny. I'll definitely go back when I have time because I miss their food so much!

Conveniently located little cafe with some good food options and large portion sizes.

Best Chilli Ever! I grab a large bowl nearly every day... I admit the menu is a bit pricey-but hey its San Ramon-what isn't pricey out here? I have not ordered a turkey sandwich as of yet, simply because they roast a turkey every day (as evident but the fresh cooked bird sitting in the steam pan tempting me every day) -and I don't want to eat it and fall asleep. I have had the pleasure of eating a breakfast sandwich from there as well, at it was simply yummy-plenty of bacon and the egg was cooked perfectly.

I agree with the other Yelper, this place is definietly hidden away. It's not a typical restaurant, but a cafeteria inside a business park for the employees. Regardless, it is a public dining area and the friendly ladies that work here are welcoming. First of all, I'm not sure why it's called Cactus Cafe. Maybe they originally only served Mexican food, but when I was there they served American breakfast and lunch, as well as sushi. They also have coffee and tea (obviously it's not Starbucks), but I'm not picky, any coffee and tea works for me. There are daily specials and soups, a lot of salad options including green salads, pasta and fruit salads. For it's size, this place offers a lot of food options, which surprised me. Overall, the food was good and the pricing was okay. It is understandable that some things are pricier than other well-known places, because it is a cafeteria/independent business. Above everything, I would say the service is great! The ladies are sweet and very accommodating to food needs and allergies. Definitely coming back whenever I need to kill time in the area.

This place is kind of hidden away. I work in the opposite office tower and didn't even know about it for almost 9 months. The food here is pretty good most of the time. I really like how they have always have a fresh roasted turkey and slice meat right off the bird for their turkey sandwiches instead of using processed stuff. The sushi is relatively good as I imagine they're having it delivered but availability is pretty inconsistent and they have it maybe 2 days a week. They have plenty of salad options and most items you would expect from a cafe like hamburgers, sandwiches, etc.. They have daily specials every day which are hit and miss. The French Dip and Chicken Katsu is pretty good, the Burrito, not so much. The meatloaf with mashed potatoes is good but pretty much knocks me out for the rest of the day. My main gripe with this place is that it's a bit expensive for what you get and the menu for the special items like daily specials and sushi is unpredictable on any given day. I think if this place would do a better job of letting people know they're there and have a weekly menu for the specials that are coming up they would do well.
