Sidewalk Cafe
601 Capitol Way N, Olympia, WA
Crema's Take
“Sidewalk Cafe is beloved for its exceptional sandwiches—think Beet Reuben with melted Oaxaca cheese and a stellar BLT—that punch well above typical cafe fare, paired with thoughtful salads and sides that feel equally intentional. The cozy, quirky space invites you to linger on the sunny patio (keep an eye out for the herons!), making it the kind of neighborhood gem that's worth seeking out after the farmers market or whenever you want both substance and soul in your meal.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Best Sandwichs in town !! Had a BLT and husband Turkey special - excellent. Even the woman next to us, raved about her Sandwich! Coming back for the famous Meatballs and Reuben. Atmosphere, super friendly, listening to Big Mouth "baby i love your way" Thank youuu

How many times did we drive/walk by here before we stopped? Too many times(sorry Sidewalk Cafe!). We popped in after our weekly Farmers Market stop. I know the market has lots of food options, and we eat there too, but give this small-ish but super friendly cafe a go. The bagel…
