It appears this business is closed. I walked by and could not find it at 1990 N. California. And the phone number is disconnected.

Pleasant little cafe. It was a great place to have a breakfast sandwich and meeting. Great restroom humor. See pic.

I've been eating here since I started working in the office next door (over 3 years now) and have never taken the time to write this place a well deserved 4 star review. I believe the woman there at lunch owns the place, and she's really nice and friendly. I usually come on Wednesday's for the special, which is chicken tikka masala. The place is usually busy and can even run out of the special on Wednesdays by 1:30. They have a random assortment of other items, chips, candy, drinks, etc. I've been told the other specials are also pretty good, but the chicken tikka is where my heart is. Perfect walking distance from my office, but the place can be hard to find. A few tables to sit, but not much space inside. Nice park area outside for nice days.

4 stars simply because our office building cafe pretty much only serves sandwhiches and salads. I never would have found this place if I didn't stop to ask someone walking by. I didn't really look at the menu because I met some people here to specifically eat the special of the day, which was chicken tikka masala. For about $10 you get a good amount of the entree, rice and naan. Not the best I've had, but it was good. Def beats trying to find parking downtown and lunch rush. Park at Target and it'll take you 5 minutes to walk across the street.

It's a small café and convenient for those who work around the area. As for quality of food, it's typical fast food. Everything is pre-made and most likely bought from Costco. What bothers me is that they don't use gloves and take the wrapping off cucumber or vegetables for salads without washing it. The prices are high compared to other places around here and portions are small.

Terrible Customer service. Ordered a breakfast burrito and she didn't even ask what kind of meat I wanted. My burrito cost $5 and was as small as my cell phone. Do not reccommend.

he Frozen yougurt and cookies are really good, and the daily specials are the way to go for lunch. Sandwiches run around 6-7$ and they include a fresh salad of your choice.

The little gem has an exquisite selection sandwich all presented beautifully. They also have a nice selection of cafe drinks to choose from. The shop is small , though as they say, great things come in small packages which is certainly the case with this place. Very nice friendly people.

Chicken Quesadilla is the Monday special. It cost $7.99. For that money I was expecting something awesome. It was rather disappointing. Not a lot of chicken in it either. Don't think I will come back

Clean and affordable place. I love their sandwiches as they are always fresh and light for perfect lunch. The staff is always friendly and will accommodate your order according to your taste. Also, not very noisy so that you can eat in peace. I love their cookies and also their daily specials never disappoint.

I work in a nearby office and found this gem of a place for lunch. Service was very friendly and the food was great. I had the Chicken Tikka Masala and it was delicious! Come Early, though, as they run out of this quick. The only reason why it's not 5 stars is that I work late sometimes and would like to grab a bite after work, but they are only open until 4:00pm.

One of several delis in the office-heavy North Main/California area, and definitely one of the best. I've been here twice, and ordered the same thing both times - their Monday special chicken quesadilla is delicious. Yummy martinated chicken with cheese, and but also lots of great veggies like bell pepper and spinach! Definitely takes the edge off, and makes it taste light and fresh. Served with small amounts of salsa and sour cream to dress up as you like - perfect! A true 1990 fan will also tell you - there is some kind of magic they put into their chocolate chip cookies. Served warm, and taunting you from the counter where you place your order - standing in that line, you'll hear every person order one. The secret on their delicious cookies is out! Standard deli fare of course, but also great weekday special selections for variety, and quick friendly service even during the lunchtime crunch - great place!

Not really a place to go for lunch unless it's just the most convenient option, as it was in my case. I got the quesadilla which was the special of the day, but it wasn't really anything special in my opinion! Also got a breakfast sandwich on another occasion which was pretty good. I think their breakfast options are better and more affordable. The lady at the counter was really nice, so the 2 stars aren't really a testament to the service -- it's just a small food place in an office building, so I don't think it can be really that fabulous in terms of food selection and prices.

This little cafe is great. It's right near my office, so I go there at least once a week. The people are friendly, the food is good and on Wednesdays they have"Tikka Chicken"- I had never heard of Tikka Chicken before- but, it is amazing. Turns out, I'm not the only one that likes it... multiple people in my immediate office are sure to make it to 1990 on Tikka Chicken Days! I only took off the one star because I do think they are a little pricey.

Nice little cafe, with free internet. I was here couple for time when ever i visit my financial advisor. I like their English muffin with Egg and Starbucks latte.
