Sidebar
97 Locust St, Medford, MA
Crema's Take
“Tucked inside an ice hockey rink, Sidebar defies expectations with genuinely cared-for food that goes far beyond typical arena fare—think grilled cheese on Iggy's bread with pickled onions and made-to-order breakfast sandwiches on Portuguese muffins that keep people coming back. The team here treats every customer like family, and whether you're grabbing a pastry before the game or settling in for a full breakfast, the fresh ingredients and thoughtful execution make this an unexpectedly special spot in Medford.”

This place is great! I was a little skeptical at first because this cafe is located within an ice hockey rink but that ended up making it better! The customer service was amazing and the breakfast food was excellent! Plus we ended up watching a hockey game while we ate!
Sidebar is awesome! Its wonderful to have delicious options while at the rink (not just your average vending machine or cafe).The food is wonderful with fresh ingredients. I highly recommend the grilled cheese with pesto and bacon as well as the soft pretzels. Everything looks great and the pricing is unbeatable. Definitely check it out if you're at LaConte or even driving by.
Sidebar is a great addition to LoConte. The fare is varied but always hits home. What better way to beat the chill of the rink than a fresh grilled cheese on Iggy's bread with bacon and pickled onions?!
Sidebar is a long overdue and great addition to LoConte. The breakfast sandwich on Portuguese muffin is very filling and top notch. My wife loves the parfait and bought 4 home for her work week. Customer service is always welcoming and friendly. The menu isn’t your typical rink menu and offers specials throughout the week. Caesar salad and grilled cheese were also excellent.
Finally delicious and healthy options at a rink!! What a great option if you’re in the area and want a snack and refreshment. The breakfast sandwich was amazing and made to order. Speaking of ordering.. you can even order ahead! Amazing!! I’ll be back!
