This small corner sandwich shop and probably a huge favorite with train commuters on the San Antionio stop. Heaving heard nothing about this place, we were pretty excited to try a new place. The menu boasts numerous breakfast items, salads, and sandwiches. Prices are reasonable with no items costing more than $7. I favor club sandwiches, I couldn't resist in ordering one on wheat with a 7-up. We took a table outside and weathered the intense heat under a patio umbrella. For the last couple of days, the temperature has been in the mid 80's to low 90's. It was nice to be outside and had a good view on the passing trains. Sandwiches took a bit longer to deliver for who knows what reason....not unbearable but noticeable. My sandwich was delivered after a 15 minute wait with a mixed green salad. The salad was a nice touch and healthy tasting. The dressing was a balsamic vinegar mix and very flavorful. Crossings Club Sandwich was on toasted wheat and somewhat your standard sandwich with the exception of the mustard. I don't dislike mustard on my clubs but it's normally not put on them. bread - fresh, just your standard wheat bread from the market, lightly toasted. 3 slices but 4 ways. toppings - tomatoes, romaine, mayo, mustard, american cheese, and bacon. you know I'm going to talk about the bacon, crispy and awesome. I probably would order without the mustard if I were to order it again. meat - turkey, kinda watery, deli cut style. Meat was piled on so there were no shortages of meat. It wasn't bad but don't go expecting turkey like it tastes off a turkey dinner. Did I like it? Heck yeah, this place is good. My sandwich only cost me $5.75 with the salad, it was an enjoyable lunch. I love club sandwiches and this one gets flying colors for presentation, portion size, and price. Crossings Cafe has the markings of a classic breakfast and sandwich shop. It's clean, people were friendly, and you can sit outside and watch the trains chug on by. I consider Crossings Cafe a Mountain View hidden jewel....CHOO-CHOO.

We were completely unsure if we had been here before (before starting jatbar) and got a good laugh at how out-of-the-way this place is. Well I suppose it won't be a popular jatbar destination, but we should report as much as we can. We get there and its fairly quiet. A small number of people (possibly locals who live nearby, or people walking in from the scattered businesses nearby). I notice indoor and outdoor seating. There were a few tables open outside, so that was the natural choice. When walking up to the counter, the menu is on the wall. It was a bit tough to read, being that it was written on chalk and the sun reflection was playing tricks with my eyes. But I saw the veggie section of the menu and was happy to see that they seemed to be solid choices, not compromise dishes. I opted for the veggie sandwich. I was expecting some kind of bland sandwich with possibly fresh vegetables but little flavor. I was blown away. These guys really deliver the goods. There was hummus in there, the expected fresh vegetables, mayo, dijon, 2 slices of cheese. It sounds possibly like an odd combination, but it REALLY worked well. This was a damn good sandwich. I was a little bummed at the small size of it (for the price) but I had no problems eating this thing rather quickly. I look forward to testing a number of other items on their menu. Its too bad they are so out of the way, it is a solid lunchtime destination.
