Serial Read not waiting

Firmware
1

Hi I’m trying to do so user input via serial.
What i want to acheive i want to connect via usb press a button and ill run a function that serial prints a list of options, then serial read what option was selected and perform that function.

but two thing either happen i just print out my list forever or it doesnt see the serial read and exit the function.
i know ive got to wait for the serial read but i just cant seem to figure it out.
Ive tried while(serial.availble) while not equal to my options.

my code
im using vscode, boron firmware 3.3.0

  Serial.printf("1) Channel 1\n");
  Serial.printf("2) Channel 2\n");
  Serial.printf("3) Quit\n");
  response = Serial.read();
  switch (response) {
     case '1':
     Serial.printf("Running Calibration on channel 1\n");
     runcalibration_one();
     break;
     case '2':
     Serial.printf("Running Calibration on channel 2\n");
     //runcalibration_two();
     break;
     case '3':
     Serial.print("Quiting");
     break;

     default:
     response = Serial.read();
  }

The Particle Workbench serial monitor and the Particle CLI particle serial monitor are one-way. You can only monitor output from the Particle device, you cannot type to it. Using PuTTY, Coolterm, or screen (Mac or Linux) are the best options.
