I'm in a similar situation. In the passed months I found some freelance web design work, and that was some nice side money. However, I've been looking at local job listings (Portland, Oregon) and part time positions are very limited. One thing to look out for is paid internships. I went to an interview for a junior developer position and didn't get the gig because of my school schedule. Now I'm shifting my search to target paid internships. From my experience your best bet is, paid internships, and freelance work. This is a good question. Working in food service while studying computer science is hard on the spirit. Do you have a portfolio/github/codepen where people can see your work? If not, that will help get your foot in the door.
