    Iced vanilla latte
    Omar F.

    Coffee and a breakfast bagel, it doesn't get any better than that. If the coffee is good and the bagel is fresh you are off to a great morning. This place delivers that. I enjoyed my iced vanilla latter and breakfast bagel with egg and sausage. This place was exceptional. Plenty of outdoor seating. Great service as well. Definitely will be back to visit .

    Avacado toast, goodness

    Always a great place to enjoy a patio morning.. with great live music.. Food is always spot on .. great coffee choices, All the staff are super friendly... A++..

    Mocha Latte

    Stopped by a local favorite and decided to try the peanut butter mocha. I'm not usually a mocha person, but for this drink, I definitely could be! The blend of peanut butter and mocha was spot-on neither flavor was too overpowering. I'd definitely order it again!

    So this is an update to my previous review.. they have added a LOT of things to the menu now. The day I came, it was so packed, it was at least 30 min until we could get our food. Maybe if there more ways to order, it would be faster since now we have to order with the one cashier, who also needs to take in phone calls. I think they do have online option, so I may have to do that next time if I don't want to wait. I still like the outside seating, as they play really chill music, and now there is even a small play area for kids either a giant connect 4. The ordered the London Bagel and the Belgium Waffles this time. Note that if you want pretzels you need to add $1. The prices did go up from before but it is expected, and like I said I do like that they have other options. I wished that the bacon that came with the waffles were bigger, they were on the smaller side. I do like that the owner or the owners mom goes around to ask how the guests are doing. It makes the experience that much more special and the want to continue to support the business. Looking forward to try some of the new food next time. Until then !

    Nice atmosphere

    The was great. Quality over quantity rules here. I had Norway bagel which is "lax" plus pesto sauce. Great combination. Their waffles with bacon was ok although Norway began was better . Interior was amazing super kids friendly. Connect 4 giant game outside and kids books Even restrooms were kids friendly in design. Parking wasn't that bad but limited at north side of store . Amazing experience for an early morning hand out . Definitely great for date night ( morning )

    We got the cold brew with horchata and an ice white mocha. Both were phenomenal! We added the cold foam and it made it that much better. Great customer service and the music was nice too. Super cute place as well!

    Meeting a girlfriend for brunch. This is a cute place. Seating is mainly outside with a few small tables indoors. Perfect day to be outdoors but I love that there are umbrellas for good shading on sunny days. You order first and then food is brought out to your table. Servers are friendly. The food was good but the portion was smaller than expected for the price we paid. I wished my croissant came with something more substantial than a small cup of fruits. I love that there was live music (not sure if this is an daily thing) and that we were allowed to sit and chit chat for a few hours.

    Our whole family loves coming here. The food is great. The drinks are delicious and the owners are wonderful. They have an outdoor patio that's like sitting at a French café somewhere in a beautiful land landscape of England. All the staff are personable and genuine. It's run by a mother and her son and having conversations with them is always fun. The food is delicious. They have a wide variety of breakfast and lunch options and have no issues with substitutions on any of their menu items. If you want a really chill vibe with great energy, delicious food and yummy handcrafted coffee, and lemonades. This is the spot. Bring a book or do that FaceTime meeting, or if you like me, treat your mother to an amazing day with a yummy lunch at railside Café! Cheers!

    Got the matcha, wasn't very good. Friends got the chai, not very good. Also got the waffle and was absolutely burnt. I would normally excuse this but the man taking our order was so rude for no reason lmao. Never seen someone so terrible at just acting like a decent human being but obviously the people here can get away with it since there's so many mentions of terrible staff. Oh well, not my circus. Super mid, wouldn't recommend but this place already has 4 starts for some reason so this'll just get drowned out by some poor soul looking for the next aesthetic cafe.

    Hair

    I unfortunately think today is the last time I go there. The front staff is incredibly uncaring of their customers- it's a bit crazy & I found a piece of hair in my food. The girl in the front welcomed us with silence and a airpod in her ear. She misheard me multiple times.... I wonder why. She didn't get my order right and was unpleasant to see in front of this restaurant. The food here is good which is why my rating isn't lower. There's live music sometimes, which is great. I think this restaurant just needs a new person in the front of their establishment.

    This place is very nice, I sat outside in the nice patio that's very refreshing with a nice breeze. Service is nice, you order first and they bring your food. The food is really great! I will definitely return to this place!

    Egg spinach and bacon with havarti cheese croissant.
    Jowel G.

    This is just about the BEST place for a pleasant and chill meal. Breakfast sandwiches (Croissant) are the best! Wake Up #1 with sausage is my favorite here with a green tea latte iced with oat milk. Pepper tree gives so much shade with all the surrounding foliage makes it my go-to Sunday spot. Great staff and service. Come out and experience Rail Side - you won't regret it!

The pastries are just as impressive -- always fresh and absolutely yummy. Whether you're stopping in for a quick treat or a full coffee break, you really can't go wrong. The ambience is another huge plus. It's cozy and inviting, making it a great spot to hang out with a friend, but it's also calm and comfortable enough if you need a quiet place to study or get work done.

They were always there to make sure we were all good and if we needed anything. Friendly and made little chats with some of the ladies. The ambiance of the shop is welcoming and cozy.

For 8:30 am on a Saturday morning, this place was quite busy and the flow of customers did not stop the entire time we were there. There was plenty of parking in front and to the side of the cafe, as it is at the end of the strip mall. The display case of baked good intrigued me and I was divided between the Banana Bread and another item but after asking the cashier, he also suggested the Banana Bread. Since it was my first visit, I tend to purchase a bit more to enjoy later as I am unsure if I'll get the chance to stop by again. Banana Bread (pass) $5.75 When trying the Banana Bread later that afternoon, it was dry and not very delicious. We bake better Banana Bread at home, so it was not worth the $5.75. Kevin's Breakfast Sando w/ country potatoes $14.95 Grilled sourdough, prosciutto, pesto, garlic, mayo, provolone, arugula, and fried egg w/ tots, country potatoes, fries, or side salad From the Yelp reviews, I knew I had to try Kevin's Breakfast Sando and I ordered it with Country Potatoes, but the Country Potatoes do not include onions or bell peppers. It's like a "take" on country potatoes but not exactly country potatoes. I still enjoyed them nonetheless as country potatoes are my go to, but no one would also ever go wrong with tots! The Sando was delicious, but a bit tad salty for me, but I would most definitely order it again. 12 oz Black Eye $5 2 shots of espresso in drip coffee Since I am not normally awake this early on a weekend, I was needing caffeine more than ever, and I was very pleased to see Black Eye on the menu. I do not often, if ever, order Black Eye so I had to ask the cashier what it was and when they said it was espresso in coffee, I was sold! All the food and drinks were served on/in disposable containers, which from reviews, it seems like they started doing that since covid and have continued to do so. Service is interesting but overall nothing to complain about. One orders at the counter and they call your order for you to pick-up but with the acoustics in the restaurant, one may not hear their order being called. Sometimes an employee would bring a drink or so around to the customer if they did not hear their order being called, which was nice because it could get quite noisy on the inside. This is most definitely a family-oriented restaurant and I love see people of all ages enjoy time together, especially over breakfast.

Most of the tables had people sitting on them with laptops out.
