Delicious sandwiches and pastries. They have daily breakfast too. You have to wait in line to order at the counter but then the friendly staff brings your food to you. Coffee drinks were amazing! We tried the Housemade Vanilla Latte and the Strawberry Mocha. The sandwiches were a good size and definitely shareable if you want to also try a pastry.
Delicious plein veggie bowl. Just incredible flavors and textures. As good as anything we tourists have had in town.

Plein Air Cafe is a charming restaurant with good food and prices that won't break the bank. It has a cozy interior but can get quite crowded, making it hard to relax or work. The line often wraps around past most of the tables, and it is pretty much always packed, which means waiting is common and sitting down inside is unlikely. However, the outdoor area is spacious and perfect for dining during nice weather, offering a great atmosphere for people-watching and a cool, fresh feel in the air.
The staff are friendly and welcoming, providing excellent customer service. There is daily breakfast too. You have to wait in line to order at the counter but then the staff brings your food to you. Vegetarian options are available, including pancakes, French toast, quesadilla, and mushroom pie. The menu offers a variety of dishes such as soups, salads, and sandwiches. The chicken and rice soup is tasty, with the right amount of vegetables and chicken to broth ratio. The avocado and tomato salad comes with fresh arugula, perfectly ripe avocados and tomatoes, cotija cheese, and a cilantro dressing, although the dressing is sweet, which may not suit everyone's taste.
The baguettes used for the sandwiches and soup look delicious, and the goat cheese sandwich, which comes with peppers instead of paprika, is a must-try. The sandwiches are a good size and definitely shareable if you want to also try a pastry. Delicious sandwiches and pastries. The coffee drinks were amazing, with the Housemade Vanilla Latte and the Strawberry Mocha being popular choices. The espresso is excellent, smooth, and rich, and the drip and espresso are the best on campus. The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting with a great vibe, and the service is friendly and welcoming. Overall, Plein Air Cafe is a great spot for a meal or coffee, especially outside, where it is nice to enjoy coffee and a book. However, it is important to be prepared for crowds and potential insects during the summer, as well as the lack of WiFi.
