Came to SideDoor Cafe for a lunchtime latte and I was very happy with what we got! Ordered an iced white chocolate mocha coffee and an iced vanilla latte, both were very smooth and refreshing. The staff at SideDoor are very friendly and seem happy to be there. The music and seating options just add to the overall experience. We look forward to coming back!

I was on the lookout for a cozy little spot to kick back, relax, and dive into a good book while sipping on a delicious cup of coffee. The coffee mug was surprisingly big, and let me tell you, that latte was absolutely delightful! I couldn't resist trying their breakfast sandwich, and it did not disappoint – super tasty and fresh! Overall, this place has such a lovely atmosphere and serves up great food and drinks. It's definitely a nice spot to hang out!

This is the type of cute independnent neighborhood spot that I wish was on my block. Cozy spot, attention to detail, every table had fresh cut flowers when I came in. Breakfast sandwiches that will fuel your day or heal your hangover. The esspresso drinks were made with the time and care that a good drink needs….quite the antidote to the. Usy starbucks pick up counter. Everyone working went about thier work clearly proud that their name is on the door.

A beautiful cafe. Service is excellent, and the quality of the coffee is superior. They know their business of drawing a shot of espresso. Coffee is absolutely delicious. Can't recommend them more for a hot coffee!

Local coffee shop serving some homemade favorites. The coffee is delicious, best in town, but the home-cooked Greek lemon chicken soup will have me coming back for more. Perfect balance of flavors warming any New Englander during this cold winter. Bustling bakery/coffee shop nestled on the back corner of the main strip. Perfect place to stop and warm your soul with their hot brew. Service was quick and personable, and the atmosphere was welcoming and warm. Can't wait to try the next soup du jour!

Great food and atmosphere, but here is why I’ll come back…… “Give a man a water……” After breakfast, I sat outside for several hours reading/ writing on a bench about how to communicate the Bible to a group of spiritual leaders. Then one of the staff brought me a glass of water, for it was hot outside. He simply dropped it off made a kind comment. Nothing more. All the wisdom and anything that I was writing, reading or communicating, can all be summed up in the simple act of charity commanded by our Lord. The simple act of giving a thirsty person a glass of water embodies the gospel more than anything that I will ever teach through all of my study and preparation.

​I only stumbled upon this gem because when I had backing pt, Connor mentioned his brother works here. I’m so glad he did! It’s literally a "side door" cafe tucked away on a side street. It’s a super cute spot, and since it’s Norwood, finding a parking spot nearby wasn't a headache at all. ​Here’s the thing: I’m more of a caffeine fan than a coffee fan. Usually, I drown my cup in milk and sugar to mask the taste. The barista left almost no room for milk, so I figured I’d take a sip, head home, and top it off there. But the coffee was actually that good—I ended up not adding a drop of milk because the flavor was so smooth on its own. That’s a first for me! ​The food is just as solid. The croissant and breakfast sandwich were way better than your average cafe fare. They have a huge selection of pastries I still need to work my way through. ​Update: Just found out you can order ahead on their app, which is a lifesaver. The crew working the morning shift is great, and I’ve officially made this my post-PT weekend ritual.
