I have always loved sidewinders and always will! With an absolutely fresh architectural astthetic, the interior (and rooftop balcony in the summer) is a pleasure to relax with a delicious hot local brew. I recommend the breakfast special, super cheap, amazingly tasty!

What people forget about sidewinders and I was guilty of it to, is that they have a rooftop patio you are allowed to go sit on if you don't want to eat inside. The view is great! They are quick, friendly and their food is delicious. I am not a coffee person, so my favorite drink there is the coconut cream chai and get it sweet. 👌 I enjoy their chicken vegetable wrap and also their loaded wrap.

Bright all-new downstairs decor. Patio upstairs. Great breves. All-day tasty breakfast bun with quality ham, cheese, egg and aioli for only $3.25! Super staff. Highly recommend for a selection of really yummy toasted sandwiches and bagels. Quality ingredients.

Excellent breakfast sandwiches. I usually go with a black drip coffee, which was good, but I also tried their mocha and it is the best I've had. Staff was nice, service was fast, good location.

Popped in because the small crowd made clear it's popular with the locals - & for good reason! Breakfast wrap was delicious (I can't get over how PERFECTLY the egg was cooked), mocha was great. Only open weekdays, which would be disappointing if I didn't get a "proprietor putting quality/employees first" vibe.
