We ordered the carbonated coffee, and honestly... it surprised us in the best way. It was super refreshing, almost like an orange juice-style drink with just a light hint of coffee at the end. Definitely not what we expected, but we loved it. We also got the honey saffron latte, which was smooth and flavorful. Really good balance without being too sweet. If you're into trying something different, this spot is worth checking out! read more

Otherside Cafe - carbonated coffee and honey saffron latte - Cafes Near Me - Fresno, California

Finally got to stop in sever weeks ago, to see what the hype was about! The hype is good! So, to keep this "Plain Jane". The food is good, the doughnuts are good (what can I say) along with the matcha! Have been 3 times, and it's been consistently good, which seems to be hard for some places. I've tried the Garden breakfast burrito, the OG breakfast burrito (easily top 3 favorite breakfast burrito) and a breakfast bowl (I can't remember the name of). Along with several doughnuts, and Matcha (one with just honey, other with lavender) and all of it was delicious! To wind this down, I get why people like this place. The service, the ambience and just the overall feel is nice. Almost reminds me of a place that would be, beach side with a view. All in all: Great food, service and ambience. Has now been a go to for me. Highly recommend! read more

I got the Caesar Salad with an added chicken and was very pleased with the flavor. I love the avocado in the dressing which completely elevates the dish! My siblings got the other bowls and they seem healthy but I'd rather opt for a salad. It can get fairly busy, when we went there was a short line. Ambiance is clean and spacious with lots of seating indoor and outdoor. Plenty of parking available. Located in the new Row complex. read more

Otherside Cafe - Pastry with their latte - Cafes Near Me - Fresno, California

Their avocado caesar salad is DELICIOUS. Consistent in taste and portion size. I probably eat too many of these to be healthy lol. Their snickerdoodle cookie (especially warmed up) is probably the best cookie I have had at a cafe. The sugar on the outside gets a little caramelized, so it is a little crunchy while the inside is still soft and chewy. Their dark chocolate pecan (w/ sea salt) cookie is also delicious. Anytime my mom hears I am going to be within a 5 minute vicinity of Otherside, I am coerced into buying one for her. We have also come here JUST for cookies. Regarding drinks, they are kind of just okay. Nothing spectacular, and the coffee drinks (lattes and such) are kind of watery. The matcha latte with ube cold foam, one of their spring drinks, was tasty but a little too sweet. I'd like to try it again, maybe modifying it to be less sweet, and see if it is a better experience. If you are meeting a friend and hoping to hear them talking to you, I would suggest sitting outside. The ceilings inside are quite tall and not very good at sound dampening. Sometimes, the noise level inside can get kind of unbearable. If it is a week night, sitting inside is probably fine, especially if they have the windows open, but weekends, especially around lunchtime, can get a little crazy Overall: Food- 5/5 Drinks - 2/5 Atmosphere- (outside) 5/5 (inside) 2/5 Staff - 5/5 (sooo friendly and helpful) General Vibes - 4/5 read more

Such a cute spot and everything they make here is reliably delicious. Sometimes this place gets really busy! But they're usually pretty efficient and friendly even when the line gets long. Nice places to sit inside and out. We ordered the spring matcha - delicious and sweet but not too sweet, at all. Also a very pretty drink! The salmon toast and the salmon bowl were both very yummy and felt nourishing to eat. I look forward to going back read more

I have to say, I am thoroughly impressed with this place. They make solid coffee and really tasty food. The meal portions aren't huge either which is appreciated for a coffee spot. The service is some of the best though. They get people in and out pretty quick. We ordered a donut and they ended up not having anymore and came to us after our meal offering us a discount after giving us a substitute. Place flat out knocking it out of the park. The burrito is incredible. The breakfast sandwich is also solid too. I hope everyone comes into this place. Cheers! read more

Food: Every time I come here I'm not wowed by the food they have to offer. This time I got the Kalefornia salad and added almond chicken. It was okay--chicken a little tough and dry. The ube matcha latte had this bitter topping that I did not really like. But the drink is pretty! Service: you order at the counter and they bring you your food. They are very friendly. Ambiance: LOVE! You can come here for hours with your bestie and just catch up. Or you can come and do work (I see people doing this a lot). Very chill. read more

Interesting cashier staff. Most times I have gone to any cafe or restaurant, when I have questions the cashier or waiter is always able to answer my questions. However this time, I was asking about one of the items on the menu and how it was. I was wanting to know its flavor profile. The item on the menu was Athens Chicken bowl. I just asked for a little explanation about it since I can read the ingredients listed on the menu. I saw it said tandoori spices and so I just asked if the flavor profile is Indian inspired. The cashier just said "it's a soulful bowl." That sucked as a response because I know it's a soulful bowl because it's listed under "Soulful Bowls." That's just like if I asked about a soup and someone tells me "it's soup." Not sure, really was annoyed about that because it was just not insightful or helpful in the slightest. One of the last things I want to do is order something I might not like. That is why people ask questions... Ambiance is perfect and beautiful. So nice inside and inviting. The food is really tasty too. We ordered the avocado caesar salad and it was very good. Perfectly dressed, creamy and delicious. There's yummy croutons on it too. Additionally we ordered the Almond Chicken bowl. It is so hearty and filling! I felt really good after eating the meal. It had a variety of vegetables and it tasted wonderful. Additionally for the cookies, I tried the dark chocolate cookie and it was amazing! It was decadent and sweet, there was melted chocolate inside. Perfect texture. read more

I'm was in Fresno for a short business trip and always try to seek out local coffee shops when I travel, especially when I need a good spot for a quick meeting. OtherSide Café was high on my list, and I'm so glad I made the stop. First impression: this place is huge for a local coffee shop. The space is bright, airy, modern, and effortlessly upscale. Honestly, if I could design my ideal coffee shop, this would be it. It was packed when we arrived, which is always a good sign, but be prepared to wait in line. It's popular for a reason. The barista who helped us was wonderful. I mentioned it was my first visit and that I love trying signature drinks. Without hesitation, she recommended the basil vanilla latte and explained how the basil adds balance and a unique flavor to the coffee. She was confident, thoughtful, and clearly knew the menu well. I also ordered the avocado toast and added two poached eggs for an additional $4, which I appreciated since it's a solid way to add protein. You're given a number after ordering, and because the café was so busy, we ended up sitting outside. The patio was also full, but it was a beautiful day and a great spot to sit. When our food and drinks arrived, the server kindly pointed out that silverware and napkins are self-serve at a designated station. We hadn't noticed it initially, so that's something good to know if you're visiting. Not a big deal, just part of the setup. The coffee itself was excellent. Smooth, well-balanced, and thoughtfully made. While I couldn't distinctly pick out the basil flavor, the drink worked really well overall and wasn't overly sweet. A solid recommendation. As for the avocado toast, the flavors were great and the eggs were poached perfectly. The bread was a bit heartier and crustier than I personally prefer, but that's a preference thing, not a flaw. Everything tasted fresh and well prepared. Overall, this was a great experience. The vibe is on point, the energy is lively, the staff is helpful, and the coffee delivers. I'll absolutely be back the next time I'm in Fresno. read more

Fairly nice spot overall. The woman who took our order looked like she was being held at gunpoint (hope she's okay), but the woman who brought out our food was amazing. super friendly and attentive. The food itself was good, though a bit confusing. There was a random strip of grilled zucchini plopped on top of my plate that felt... unnecessary, and the green sauce was a little weird. That said, everything else tasted solid. I also tried the banana latte, which unfortunately leaned more artificial than expected. Not a bad experience, but not sure I'd go out of my way to come back. read more

Otherside Cafe - Miso Salmon, Golden Hour Latte - Cafes Near Me - Fresno, California

Snuck in a rare kid-free breakfast date with my hubby and it did not disappoint. Tried a few new things instead of our usual spots and I'm so glad we did. The OG burrito was way better than expected, perfectly crunchy, loaded with real eggs, and packed with flavor. Even though it was busy, service was quick and super friendly for dining in. I've grabbed a salad to go before and wasn't wowed so I haven't returned in awhile ever since then. The golden hour iced latte was fire and the hot matcha latte was smooth and cozy. Donuts were a mixed bag, pumpkin chai wasn't my fave, but the matcha donut was so good! Can't wait to come back! Definitely recommend! read more

I came here for brunch on a weekday and was honestly shocked at how packed it was! We ended up sitting at the coffee bar because there weren't any tables open. I definitely had the thought, "Do people not work anymore?" (which I'm sure everyone else in there was thinking, too). Despite how busy it was, our breakfast burritos and coffees came out surprisingly fast. I was fully prepared for a long wait, but the baristas were on top of it. Next time, I'd love to come back when it's a little less busy and a bit more quiet... if that exists! read more

This place is amazing! I loved their food and their drinks are so delicious. I went there on a random Saturday a few weeks ago and I'm still thinking about how goo everything was. I got the OG burrito, salted brown butter donut, basil vanilla latte, and the golden hour iced latte. It was really busy but they went through the line fairly quickly. The girl who took my order was super nice and had lots of suggestions since it was my first time there. I liked how spacious the cafe is but the seating is a little awkward and with how busy it was, it did make it a little hard to carry a conversation. But, that won't stop me from going back when I'm in the area! I can't wait to try out some of their other menu items. read more

Otherside Cafe - OG breakfast burrito and salted brown butter donut - Cafes Near Me - Fresno, California

Be prepared. This place gets busy. Loud, line out the door, and not much overall seating available. But they still maintain good customer service. We got the SALTED BROWN BUTTER and COOKIES & CREAM donuts. They were both delicious. Golden Hour latte was good and semi-sweet. The Blackberry latte had the expected tang, but my son felt it should've had more flavor. And the decaf iced salted caramel was a total win. read more

Since my below average experiences I've come back two more times. Once for a sit down meet up and second for an online pick up order. Both experiences have much improvement. Speedy, good service. Food and drinks out in a timely manner and taste of food on point. The burrito and regular avocado toast are my two top recommendations here. I enjoy the pick up window option very much. Since I live across town I placed my order around 11am and by the time I got ready, left, and found parking the food was ready to go and there was only one person in front of me, the line to get into the actual cafe is always pretty long so if you're ever in a pinch just order online. I know they don't have control over this but the parking situation sucks here. It's always a pain to find parking and yet they keep opening up new business but the parking lacks. Just something to keep in mind. read more

Yum! One thing that their family does well is food. The food at any of their restaurants are ALWAYS good. I will follow them to any place they open up. You walk in and order at the counter and then fight for a seat. lol. You sit wherever it's open. It's really nice inside. Very LA vibes inside. Modern. Beautiful. Service was good. I think the gentlemen walking around checking on tables is the owner. Very nice. My friend ordered the wrong drink and he fixed it for her super fast. Golden hour coffee: if you like banana you'd like this. Not overly sweet, perfectly creamy. (4/5) Shaken strawberry hibiscus tea: light, refreshing, not overly sweet. Perfectly balanced. (5/5) Breakfast burrito: hands down best breakfast burrito. Well seasoned, the contents were evenly distributed within the tortillas. And you know it's good when you don't need the condiments provided. Salsa was definitely not needed. (5/5) Tri Tip Cobb wrap: really refreshing. Not heavy at all. Seasoned well. (5/5) Overall I'd recommend. It's out of the way for me but I'm definitely coming back. It's worth the drive. read more

I think I might have found one of my new go-to casual dining spots!! I was so impressed by the Athens chicken bowl here--a variety textures and ingredients but nothing that didn't belong in this dish. It was full of well-seasoned and roasted veggies, not the mention the tender chicken. I also had the beet toast which was packed full of fresh ingredients. I loved that it was very unique but the flavor profile was kind of light. The bread was perfectly toasted so I'm already anticipating the avocado or lox toast next! All the pastries looked yummy but I got the brown butter donut (all made in house). Our cashier was so helpful in letting us know donuts are discounted after 3pm (I think lol). Ambience of this place was modern and casual, would love to come here to do some studying & try their drinks next time. read more

Came here to study and grab a sweet treat! TBH, not really too ideal for studying in the sense that they don't have much outlets and have no wifi, but there are still sooo many ppl who come here to study regardless. Use your hot spot on your phone. Lots of seating inside, very comfy feeling~ a vibe In terms of service, it was okay! Drinks came out in a timely manner. For drinks, I tried the honey saffron latte and matcha! First time having anything saffron, but idk I didn't really like it. It wasn't bad, but it's different. At times it felt strong, and at times it felt kind of bland. I wanted it to be sweeter, but then again, I have a sweet tooth so maybe that's just me! For the matcha, I thought it was solid! My cousin got the matcha with vanilla syrup. It's not the greatest matcha in town, but it wasn't bad either But just on vibes and interior, I liked the place! Drinks were lowkey mid, but I'd come back to explore the menu read more

Needed lunch and hadn't been to The Otherside since it first opened. Being that it was 1:30pm on Friday, there were a handful of parking spaces available. I'm sure if I had come earlier parking would have not been possible. First time trying their lunch menu. Ordered the Almond Chicken bowl. Lots of different textures and all healthy. The chicken was super soft and tender which was a nice surprise as often places serve dry chicken breast. Everything tasted great that I forgot about the avocado sauce on the side. I did use a bit of it and it was a tasty compliment to all of the ingredients in this bowl. Another plus is this is light, but quite filling. I ordered take out and the bowl was ready fairly quickly. Service was quite quick. The restaurant was full of people which can be somewhat loud. Not a place for a quiet lunch. Also, where you stand in line to order obstructs the staff walking through to serve food sitting at tables. There is really only room for someone at the register ordering, then a decent sized gap for walking through between sides of the restaurant, and then one person standing just inside the door. This is quite awkward when you standing inside and also causes the ordering line to mostly be outside. Who wants to stand outside in the summer heat or cold winter months? This part of the restaurant appears to be poorly thought out. read more

What can I say, except this cafe is exceptional. I went twice right after Otherside opened, and honestly, was underwhelmed. The food was "okay" and the coffee, to me, was weak tasting. However, I went back yesterday, and it is clear they have hit their stride! There was no massive line that I had experienced when they first opened (came around 10am on a Monday), and the service was prompt. I ordered the bacon breakfast burrito, a golden hour latte and a bag of cookie butter donuts to take home to my kids. The breakfast burrito was absolutely outstanding. It was massive, and clear the tortilla was homemade. The potatoes on the inside were perfectly crispy. I normally don't like a ton of egg in my breakfast burrito, but it worked so well in this one that I loved it. Last time I got the Spiced Ube latte, which I recall being "okay." But the golden hour latte was magic. You could taste the real banana in the sauce they use. The kids also loved the donuts, which were fresh and had a slight crisp on the outside. Overall, I'm so glad I came back to see how Otherside grappled with the opening "growing pains," because I was so blown away by what they have become. I will definitely be back! read more

Had breakfast here with a good friend and one of her kids and 2 of mine. Arrived alittle before 9am, there was no line. Beautiful interior, clean and modern. The staff is friendly the lady at the register who took my order answered all my questions. Upon entry you order at the front counter and take a number and find a seat. They have outdoor seating available. Their indoor seating is comfortable and the a/c is on full blast. My friend has been her a few times and had recommended a few items on their menu. My order: sprinkled donut, monkey bread (warmed), bistro quiche, and the OG breakfast burrito and Golden Hour Iced Latte. Our order came out one at a time. Everything was so delicious!!!! The bistro quiche was so creamy, the OG burrito was yummy!!! I love the crunch from the bacon, wish the tomatillo salsa had a bit more spice as it was very mild to none. My daughter devoured the sprinkled donut so I didn't get to try and the monkey bread was so heavenly it wasn't overwhelmingly sweet. My Golden Hour Latte was exquisite, I wasn't sure if I was going to like the. "Banana flavor" but surprisingly it tasted really good, the banana flavor was there but subtle and I throughly enjoyed it. Overall I had a great experience the food was amazing. I would love to return to try their lunch menu which serves at 11am. They also provide a self serve water/condiment area that also have to go containers. Highly recommend this place. read more

The window out front is convenient and quick for online order pickups. All in all, a great little addition to fresno dining! read more

Good coffee. Visually pretty establishment. Everything else is overrated. They don't allow dogs, saying that it's against some kind of code. I can go right next door to drip tea cafe and they always welcome my very well-behaved and mannered lap dog so...?

It you love coffee you definitely need to try their coffee. They have nice place to sit and enjoy "not so commonly " flavored coffee while it still has good taste of coffee.

Absolutely love the food here. Chef is definitely cooking up some deliciousness here. I ordered the smoked salmon toast and boy was it just a savory delectable item. The herb cream cheese, onions, chives, and shaved egg on the toast was just the perfect combo for me. It was quite a filling menu item. I highly recommend trying this menu item. The Miso Salmon in their Soulful Bowls was very good. Good portion size, it was a sweet and savory. Definitely a flavor and texture experience. It is quite busy here, it was hard to find seating for big parties. Restrooms for guests are nice and clean. Service was 4.2/5. It's the food here for me, will definitely come back to try more menu items. They also have baked goods at the POS ranging from cookies to muffins. It's a beautiful cafe and overall, good experience here. read more

Just bumped them up a star! I'm glad I didn't let the line sway me away from coming back because I almost didn't stay after seeing it. They were super busy yet me and my friend were still able to grab a table right after ordering. We sat inside this visit... I didn't get a chance go peek outside to see if they've done anything different outside (plus, it was packed). The staff was great-- all very friendly and attentive. As busy as they were, they were really good about checking up on us and picking up empty plates/cups. Thumbs up! This time around, I got the Almond+Mint. I was about to get it iced but the cashier nudged me in the 'hot' direction-- she wasn't wrong. I do want to come back and try it iced though. The drink was perfect temp, tasted yummy (really good mix of the two flavors), and just the right amount of foam for every sip. If you're not a mint/almond person-- that's a shame. You're missing out! My friend got the Matcha... she enjoyed it. I tried a sip of it and it wasn't my favorite, but it wasn't bad. We got the Avocado Toast to share-- very tasty. A touch on the pricey side but that's our new norm I guess... *sigh*. It was worth it though. All the toppings/flavors went together perfectly-- I especially loved the lemon flavor, yum! Anywho, they did a good job at changing my opinion this round. 'Til next time! read more

Finally checked this place out! Great location and super relaxed vibe. Service was mid.. not unfriendly, just no real customer service energy. Blueberry muffin? 10/10. Fluffy, lemony, and full of berries. Quiche? Too salty and the spinach texture wasn't it for me and made the whole thing almost soggy feeling. Breakfast steak burrito? 6/10. Needed seasoning, but the eggs and potatoes were cooked perfectly. I'd go back strictly for the pastries and coffee to hang out. read more
