California Crisp Café was established in 1979 with the mission to provide delicious, healthy food made to order, using fresh ingredients, in a fast service format. We have grown to fourteen stores located in regional shopping centers and food courts that span from San Diego, California to Portland, Oregon. Our menu features savory sandwiches and our signature specialty salads, which are assembled and tossed to order with delicious house made dressings. Our wraps are made with fresh lahvosh and our panini sandwiches are served on freshly baked ciabatta. Both are served with our famous jumbo potato chips that are made on the premises to complete the perfect meal.
