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.

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

Huge fan of the Beet Reuben sandwich here. Brilliant concept and super execution with the toasty melted queso Oaxaca. Cute building, look up for the herons, and enjoy the patio on a sunny day.

I wanted a salad and my partner wanted a sandwich so we settled on Sidewalk Cafe. Cute little spot! I got the beet salad and he got the italian grinder. Both were SO GOOD. The lettuce was clearly massaged with the dressing which is always a nice touch vs dumping it on top. Good amount of food for the price. Can’t wait to come back and try other things on the menu :) thank you!

Absolutely loved this cozy little café! I ordered the brown beef sandwich—and wow, it was seriously impressive. The flavors were well-balanced, the ingredients fresh, and the whole sandwich felt like something you'd find on a high-end restaurant menu. Thoughtfully crafted and delicious. I was also served a full French press of freshly brewed coffee, and it was top-tier—smooth, bold, and clearly made from quality beans. Huge bonus. The staff—both the cashier and the cook—were kind and welcoming. The space itself is charming and relaxed, with outdoor seating available if you want to enjoy the fresh air. Highly recommend if you're into good food, good vibes, and great coffee!

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 sandwiches are so tasty-perfectly toasty warm and not tough. Bacon egg cheese-check! Taylor ham egg cheese-double check! More choices than expected so we’ll be back for sure!
