    Shirred eggs
    Nalani T.

    First time at a-side and it's a really cool space that was once a fire house. Got the hot honey chai which was delicious, though it took a while to be dropped off. Very warm and comforting and the spice from the chai itself and the slight heat from the cayenne was great. The shirred eggs were super filling and very yummy. The creaminess and cheesiness of the eggs on the crunchy, thickly sliced toast was excellent. I put the greens on the bread since I don't like bitter greens and it tasted good together. There was also a lot of prosciutto lining the bottom of the bowl, I didn't feel like it was skimped on. I did want a waffle but was disappointed to learn they don't do side orders. I wish more breakfast/brunch places offered their sweet items as side orders.

    Burger and fries

    We came for brunch on a Saturday. Overall the food was great but everything else was meh. The space is cool. The service was very slow, and it wasn't even that busy. Probably took 40+ minutes to get food, and longer than normal for drinks to come throughout the time too. It could have been a lower-staffed day but that was just our experience! I had the sausage biscuit sandwich and it was extremely good. Housemade (it appeared) sausage, biscuits and jam. Seriously good. The French fries were killer too. Some in my group were sad there weren't more "lunch" items. The spicy bloody Mary was good, the regular was meh. Prices were high but fair for the ambiance. Parking was a little confusing - there is some street and maybe additional? Maybe worth a stop not during brunch - and get a reservation!

    I I like many aspects of the A-Side, but I still want to be more, because it is so close to where I live and I would like to visit it more frequently. I visited for brunch last week. My meal was good, but I was reminded why I don't go here for brunch that often. They're just aren't many vegetarian options and almost no vegan options. If that is not a restriction on your eating, you may find more to enjoy. The restaurant itself is beautiful. It Is located in old fire station. I just love the soaring ceilings. The staff is always amazing. I just wish they were more things I could order on the menu.

    Curried vegetable dumplings
    Kay K.

    This is a friendly neighborhood place where the vibe is casual and laid back. It was so nice to walk to dinner from a couple blocks away (we had an air bnb). The restaurant is a former fire station so there's a certain charm to the restored building. Service overall was good but my one critique is timing. We waited quite a while before our drink order was taken and then another long pause before our food order. A lot of waiting in between. Waiting aside, we enjoyed the dinner spread. The curried vegetable dumplings are certainly unique but delicious. A little pricey for only 4 dumplings. The pear and prosciutto flatbread is large enough to share - could be substantial enough as a main entree. The bulgogi bowl is a nice interpretation - the beef is a bit tough and chewy but maybe I got more rough meat than is typical? The kimchi is delicious. The pan seared branzino is generously sized with lots of veggies. I am looking forward to trying other menu items next time!

    Chicken sandwich
    Yasiri N.

    All of the food was great! The avocado tomato baguettes are so tasty and refreshing!!! Very flavorful for being avocado toast haha The chicken sandwich was delicious, they run out of them so have a second dish in mind if ordering this towards the end of the day! Burger was great NA drank was very good! Would definitely come again! The vibe is so unique, it's very classy and cute definitely makes for a great brunch spot with friends on the patio or dates (: The service was quick and attentive, gave great descriptions of the dishes I had questions about Parking is limited, probably need to use street parking

    VEGGIE DUMPLINGS - to die for!
    Sonia V.

    What a darling little restaurant/brewery, w/plenty of indoor seating and a solid amount of outdoor seating. Choose strategically if you can, the sun is relentless. From firehouse to public house (vibes for sure) -- this is such a cute place to have drinks and a meal. Brunch? Date spot? Quick bite? Doesn't matter, just come and enjoy it! The food is absolutely delicious. I legitimately dream of the veggie dumplings. The most delicious falafel-like balls in a curried sauce. If you like Indian food, this is solid! As your friendly Indian Yelper, this gets all of my stamps of approval. The burrata? Fire. Solid selection of drinks. Also, $4 shot for happy hour? Sign me up. How often are you asked if the food is good right as you take a bite? Madeline was the first person in the history of servers to not do this! Wow! Thank you for that impeccable timing. Absolutely coming back whenever I visit. 10/10.

    HUMMUS
    Brianna L.

    I've been to A-Side a few times now & I really like it. It's a solid spot for fresh homemade tasting meals. Pictured is their Dip Duo hummus plate + aperol spritz. I forgot to take a picture of the rest of our food, but I love me their Justine Special Burger, it just hits the spot. It's a very laid back + airy spot. Weather permitting, their large doors are wide open, creating an open air restaurant plus that blends with their patio space. Service has always been good, staff all seem very laid back and friendly :)

    Came for Father's Day brunch Loved the vibe here . Such a neat idea to turn an old firehouse into a full service restaurant They were very busy this day so getting seated took a little bit past our reservation but no big deal Egg Sandwich- this was delicious and served with hashbrowns- the potatoes were under seasoned but nothing that hot sauce couldn't fix Shirred Eggs- unfortunately these definitely came out overcooked and I think it was because they were very busy that day Burger Franco-Américain Décadent,- hubby said it was good but too messy to eat! Specialty coffees were great Service was just okay- again probably understaffed on a busy occasion If I'm over on this side of St. Paul again would try the patio for drinks

    Shirred Eggs
    Max G.

    VIBES! They were immaculate. Perfect place to warm up on a chilly cloudy morning with brunch. I had the shirred eggs, and Michaela had the french onion soup, meaning we had matching crocs. The food for both of us was very good, but I think the atmosphere carries the place. Will return to try more menu items.

    Chicken Shawarma Bowl
    Lindsey C.

    Wow... we've never been here before but loved literally everything about our experience...well except for how noisy it was inside. If it hadn't been just the two of us it would have been very difficult to hear and communicate. Otherwise the prices matched what we ordered, everything was delicious, food came out quick and service was excellent. Can't wait to go back!

    Moules
    Stacy A.

    Cute spot in St.Paul; very modern decor and it looks like it used to be a fire station. It took me a while to pick something I wanted of the menu hit the mussels were good; although I wish they served this dish with fries, I didn't want to spend another $10 to add fries. The drinks were expensive, $16-18 for cocktails and $12 for cocktails; quite frankly outrageous to charge $12 for juice. I would not go out of my way to come back but did enjoy my time here.

    Coffee and menu
    Cadia G.

    I drive by this place all the time and finally had the urge to pop in for a little Sunday brunch! A-Side is adorable. It's got modern cottage-like charm to it and I love the big fire station doors. Perfect place to relax on a weekend morning. We sat down and instantly found a bunch of little notes rolled up and stuck into crevices in the brick wall. I loved this and of course had to leave my mark! (Bonus points if you can find it). We ordered a burger, coffee, and a breakfast sandwich. My companion let me know that the burger was good, while I enjoyed the breakfast sandwich along with my giant portion of hash browns. We were hoping to interact with our server a bit more but she seemed a bit reserved or maybe she was new. Regardless, the experience was solid. Something in me wishes there was something really pulling me in or leaving me wanting to come back, but it was unremarkable for the most part. If you're local and haven't been, I'd say it's worth a little brunch trip

    Dutch Baby
    Michelle Y.

    Make sure you make a reservation before going because they get busy. Inside is on the louder side and tables are fairly close together but didn't bother us. The Benedict was good, sauce was a bit too heavy for me. The English muffin was nicely toasted. Hash browns were gross! No salt or flavor, just straight potato. Biscuits and gravy were delicious and had a good amount of gravy. You can really taste the mushroom and the big chunks of sausages added a good texture to it. The Dutch baby was different than your normal pancake and tasted more like a flatbread with a ton of butter on top. If you want to add whipped cream only it'll cost you $1 for just a tiny bit! Kids burger was delicious according to my daughter and the fries are more on the thin soggy side. Plenty of street parking and they actually have a small parking area next to the restaurant. Overall I would definitely go back but wouldn't order the Dutch baby.

    Plant Bingo is a must!…read more Check the website to RSVP. You have to RSVP online to hold your spot. You can still come and hangout even if you don't play bingo or if it's full but recommend RSVPing in advance It's fun- 10 rounds and a coverall at the end You win plants but if you tie with someone you usually get something- ex. Candy :) Check in at 5:45pm. Recommend getting there early to get a good seat especially if you have a bigger group Couch areas, tables, bar seating A vendor comes around with homemade burritos, tacos, tamales and rice for a good price! And they are tasty! Sometimes they have a food truck. Everytime I go to bingo the burritos are there. Vending machines in hallway available Lots of drink options and good seltzers if you don't drink beer Free parking lot, free street parking or nearby lots Connected to cancan wonderland and other businesses

The beer servers were very kind and patient when there was an extremely long line and there were a lot of beer options and the ones I tried were all great. I can't wait to go back some day!
