    Not bad, not good. If your looking for average pre-made food at an average price, then this is the perfect average place for you.

    I had to come on here and write a review because I'm honestly surprised more people aren't talking…read moreabout the coffee. I ordered a caramel latte with oat milk and wow. It was so good. Not overly sweet like a lot of caramel drinks can be -- just perfectly balanced and really smooth. You can tell they actually care about their coffee. Of course I also had to try their empanadas since everyone talks about them. I got the beef and the chicken and they were SO good. The dough was soft and fresh, and the filling was super flavorful and meaty. Nothing dry or skimpy about them. Honestly this place feels like a new hidden gem in Lafayette. I've tried pretty much every café around here and this one is easily my favorite. Also love that this place is Latino-owned, which makes supporting them feel even better. Great coffee, amazing empanadas, and just an overall really good experience. I'm already excited to come back and try their matcha next time!

I always get the chorizo (they somehow make it NOT greasy and drippy), and you can get chicken-apple sausage instead if you're not a chorizo person. One of their specialties is their assortment of empanadas. If you're on the go, you can order it as is and heat it up in the toaster oven if there's one at your destination, OR have them toast it for you which takes 8-10 min. The coffees and agua frescas are also top notch. Service is 10/10- they make excellent suggestions based on what you like and what they're proud of that day, and the ambiance is cute and comfy!

The breakfast mac & cheese with bacon is another favorite and always hits the spot. And don't even get me started on the desserts, they're next level. I also love the relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. You order at the counter, grab a table, help yourself to water, and the friendly staff brings your food right to you. It's casual, comfortable, and consistently one of my favorite places in Lafayette. Highly recommend!

All ordered salads, all different, all very nice, but hardly unique. Ordered cold lemonades too, but they were nothing but a squeeze of lemon in water- not impressed. Having not been here in years, I found it to be a different and disappointing experience. We had to flag down a person to clean the table, which was still sticky when we sat down. Not rude service but could hardly be considered friendly either. The one thing that annoyed me the most was clearing an individuals dishes while the others were still eating. Plenty of empty tables so what's the rush? Given the cost, plus tip, Sideboard was nothing special. Plenty of other solid choices in the Lamorinda area.

I felt like the coffee was pretty strong and the soy milk wasn't overpowering. They also I also ordered an avocado toast (make it fresh) and it was delicious.

I ordered a drink online. I arrived a few minutes before the order said it would be ready. There was a line but it wasn't very busy. I asked for my order and they said it was on the bar line. I watched the barista make drinks for everyone in line before me. There was only one other person of color in line (I'm brown). They straight up ignored me while I stood there waiting and watched as the barista (a whites woman) pushed my drink aside to make everyone else drink before mine. Like literally waiting until the line was gone and no more orders. (Also this has happen more than once. It's a pattern). What is the point of online order if I could have just gotten in line? And why treat me like that? Previous ownership had a different vibe. And this ain't it. It is sad cuz it's one of the few vegan spots and they have community events but I'm not supporting this business. I'm sure the community events would suck for poc based on my experience w drink orders.

Plenty of espresso drinks, freshly brewed coffee with cheap refills, and a pastry case that always has something worth grabbing. The breakfast menu holds up too. Avocado smash on sourdough and the farm fresh egg sandwich are both solid picks if you want more than a pastry. The space is the real draw. Indoor seating if you want quiet, plus a big covered patio out back with string lights, wine barrel tables, and heaters for the colder months. It's a pleasant place to sit and talk without feeling rushed. A few tips if you're heading over: get there early for the best seats, and street parking out front is free until 10am. After that you're hunting. Kitchen closes at 2pm, so plan accordingly. I've only ever come for the morning routine, but they've got a full bar with craft cocktails, draft beer from local breweries like Fieldwork and Altamont, and wine by the glass. The evening side is on my list. If you live in the area and don't have a regular coffee spot yet, make this it.
