Camille’s Sidewalk Cafe

I no longer eat the food here because I got a strange microwaved concoction once and I just can’t put myself through that again. Prior to that experience the sandwhiches had been ok. I did pay olé Camille’s a visit today because I stopped in at Walgreens to get my fresh squeezed orange juice in the AM but their machine was broken. Then I remembered that Camille’s also serves fresh-​squeezed oj. It was absolutely delicious. I think I paid $ 5.49 for a large cup.

I bought a Groupon and redeemed it in Camille’s, they gave me a punch card with 6 stars to get a Salad or what ever. I used one stars for every visit because they won’t let you buy two items in one visit. Today I went to use it, the manager was rude and he said we don’t give for free any more, it’s like I’m begging from him. I paid discounted price from Groupon but I still have three items left. He yelled and turned to the next customer. So I consider it’s a scam restaurant and I don’t recommend it to anyone.
I’m sure they will be out of business soon for this interaction with customers.
I read the other comments and I’m not surprised for any bad reviews.

Friendly employees and it is fast but:
a) it is a bit pricey for what you get
b) the food is super bland
I feel bad giving this place 2 stars since it is efficient and warm, but it is clearly a below average lunch spot in Chinatown.

The food isn’t stellar here… it’s actually a little disappointing. There’s no real flavor to anything. Most everything has a salad dressing kind of sauce incorporated in their items, after my first time trying it, I’ve made sure that it wasn’t included in my orders. The only reason I went back a couple of times, is because i would have a groupon deal for $ 1.
To leave this review on a high note. The tomato bisque is pretty yummy and the chips and salsa that come with the food are tasty as well.

Really 3.5 stars.
Drawn from 8 blocks away for a $ 1 for $ 10 LivingSocial special, I ordered the Club Med Wrap (chicken, roasted red peppers and mozzarella) which came with a small side salad, and also ordered a cup of the Soup of the Day (chicken noodle) for pickup. $ 1 for the coupon and $ 1.50 for the total? Sold! The food was ready when I got there and service was friendly. I decided to eat the soup and salad there
Soup was pretty tasty… very hot. Panini was pretty good, maybe a tad better than just ok. It was still warm when I got back but the bottom was slightly soggy – to be expected in transit. However, it didn’t have too much taste to it.
So all in all maybe a B/​B+ lunch. Pretty good but wouldn’t go out of my way to return absent another deal.

I feel mixed.
While their bananas are $ 1 each, the cashier gave me 10% off. Not sure why. The only thing is, I wish that banana had tasted like the best banana ever for its price.

Had a chicken panini here and it was a good size but was kinda smushy instead of toasty. That would have been fine except the side salad of spring mix was wilted. ew. For $ 10 I should not be getting wilted salad, thanks.
