No indoor seating but a few tables outside and when weather is great it's the perfect place to eat. Many returning customers when I was there as Brian addressed them all by name.

Phenomenal. Tried a couple of sandwiches- the Euro, the BLT, and the Italian. All were freshly made…read moreon their in-house sourdough. Love the flavor profiles of the arugula, aioli, w/ the layers of protein & veg. Best quality sandwich in town, hands down. Took away some homemade soups and sausage for dinner, and everything was outstanding, Rich hearty soups- the split pea and also the lentil had great flavor. I grilled up some peppers and onions to go with the sweet Italian sausage, and that was really good as well. I will be getting my Thanksgiving bird from them. The owner Brian, was super friendly, knowledgeable, and even gave me some local recs. They have a good selection of cheeses and also some high quality dry goods as well. I came to get sandwiches, but I'll be back to stock up on much more. Super stoked I found this place.

So I've lived less than five minutes from this place for 11 years, and somehow it never caught my…read moreeye. Then I saw their TikTok last night, and let me tell you, that video had me craving it instantly. The scrumptiousness was living rent free in my brain all night, so today my son and I had to stop in and see what the hype was about. We ordered the Sour Diesel, the Fire, and the Afgoo, all on their toasted jalapeño cheese bread. First of all, the female employee who helped us was so friendly and welcoming. We do not eat out much, so we were genuinely excited and maybe a little impatient to try them. When they handed us the sandwiches, I immediately noticed how heavy they were. And the smell in the car on the way home, oh my goodness. Pure torture waiting to unwrap them. Then we got home and opened them up, and I was honestly shocked in the best way. There was actually a MEAL on that bread. Not one of those sad sandwiches that's 80 percent lettuce and air. These were loaded. My teenage son even commented on how good his was, and trust me, teen approval is not handed out lightly. The portions were generous, the flavors were bold, and each sandwich was totally unique and delicious. I can confidently say I have found a new favorite sub spot. Total hidden gem if you love a good sandwich that actually fills you up and tastes incredible. I did not grab a shake this time because it was freezing outside, but after seeing all the flavor options on the menu, I will absolutely be trying one next visit. Highly recommend in every aspect. I love when you try somewhere new and it completely exceeds expectations. This one is a must try.

Ordered an everything bagel with garlic cream cheese, an onion bagel with garlic cream cheese, and a toasted garlic bagel with butter. The prices are really reasonable. I like their cc selection, and the fact that they had an onion AND a chopped garlic bagel. I tried all three. Flavors were very good. Not enough toppings on the bagels, and definitely not enough cream cheese. Bagels had a nice crust, and soft interior, but were more bready than bagel dense, and a little on the dry side. I will be back to try their pastries, because they looked delicious. I just came for a bagel, and was disappointed.

I have been wanting to try Wayside forever but am absolutely never in the Olympia area. Because we…read morefinally were this weekend, I definitely wanted to take the opportunity to come here. It did not disappoint! I tried the Norma sandwich which was delicious. The tofu skin patty was unlike any other faux chicken I've had and so good! And because I'm always on the search for great vegan mac and cheese I had that as my side. Absolutely delicious! Very creamy. Portions are large here so I brought some of the mac home and am looking forward to having it for lunch tomorrow. My husband tried the dip sandwich with a side of the mashed potatoes and gravy and ate every last bit. He loved it. It's a very cute cafe on the corner with friendly staff. I witnessed a man in need come in and take advantage of the program they have where you can buy a meal for a hungry person to come in in the future and have a free meal. That's a lovely service to the community. So glad I was able to finally patronize this great vegan business! I'll try to come back soon!

Cool cafe with pretty mid food…read more The ambiance inside is really relaxing; plenty of comfortable seating with plenty of plants around to make a warm and inviting space. The cafe is attached to a store, but that doesn't really affect the cafe all that much. The tablecloths used have a tendency to slide around very easily. We got the tempe blt panini and tempeh Ruben panini with their fries. The fries and ketchup were the best tasting item. You can add extras to the sandwiches, but that gets pretty pricey pretty fast. I added on avocado for $2, which was left off my sandwich so be sure to check that your food is correct. They did give me a small cup of avocado when I went up to the front, but I unfortunately did not notice it was missing until I had already eaten half of my sandwich. The food itself was a bit greasy. Not too overwhelming, but enough that it affected the meal. The sandwiches are pretty small, but filling enough for a lunch sized portion. Beyond food, everything else is self service (water, napkins, utensils). Not bad unless you have limited mobility, then it will be difficult to maneuver around the tables to the small cramped corner that everything else is located. When a gentleman asked the staff if they would bring him a fork (needed assistance walking), the staff only pointed again where the utensils were located before walking away.

It's a small place, but don't let that fool you. They know what they're doing! Super efficient and clean - instant ordering and your food is ready minutes later. For only having two people working I was shocked at the speed and the cleanliness. Bonus points! The curry chickpea sandwich was so delicious - the chickpea mix along with fresh arugula and perfectly pickled red onions (coming from someone who doesn't even like red onions) was wonderful. The fresh bread was the ideal container for this pile of wonderfulness. For a prompt, fresh, clean, under $15 lunch you can to beat this place!
