    I only found out about this place because my physical therapist mentioned it one day when I offered to bring him a donut breakfast and he said he got some from his brother's cafe in Norwood. It really is a side door cafe as it's the side street of the main street in Norwood. Very cute place with limited street parking but still places to park because it's Norwood which is awesome like that. Some seating but limited, so I'd recommend take out. Unless you live walking distance and figure it's worth a try and maybe get a seat. The barista left very little room for milk in my coffee which even though I drink coffee often, I'm not a big fan of coffee as much as I am of caffeine, so I add lots of milk and sugar to mask the taste of the coffee. But I've had a lot of coffee at a lot of places so I can tell which places had good coffee. And this place has great coffee. How great.. well because there wasn't a lot of room for milk when I went home I brought my milk next to me when I sat, to add to the coffee after I drank a little. Well the coffee was so good that after I had a little I didn't want to add milk because it tasted so good. I also ordered some breakfast items just to get an idea of the place and the croissant and the breakfast sandwich i got, was so much better than most places that I can't wait to go back and get more things off their menu we they have plenty of pastries and breakfast items. Norwood has so many great places it's always hard to figure out where to go back again, but I found where I'm going for coffee and breakfast every weekend from now on.

    We just stopped by randomly while on vacation. I wish this place was nearby me. The drinks were great. My husband and I both got something not quite on the menu. The staff didn't blink at the social order. The staff was really kind. We watched them interact with others while we waited for our drinks and they were just especially kind. Not just customer service kind. The location is also very cute. I think you could easily take someone to a coffee date here.

    Fantastic espresso and nice staff. Scratch kitchen can can make anything for you since it's a pretty small operation. I love to buy locally roasted coffee beans here because they are delivered weekly. On December 5th I was able to buy a bag of espresso beans from speedwell roasted December 4th. These roast dates are incredible

    Side door cafe knocked the holiday decor out of the park, which is good because I was still feeling festive. The Side Door Salad was huge and incredible. The chicken was juicy and had some kind of nice marinade and the cheese and vinaigrette were lovely. My husband enjoyed his cortado. I got an iced chai and gingerbread loaf which were both ok. The staff were really nice. Plus points for the real cutlery and plates. Wish they had a mocha on the menu.

    Super impressed with the mozz breakfast sandooo

    My friend and I met here for coffee and breakfast and it was a total vibe. We had some amazing breakfast sandwiches. I had the tomato mozzarella balsamic breakfast sandwich. I think it had some bacon in it. It was so good. Delicious protein. The bread was the best part. The brioche bun was so Fluffy and buttery and delicious. I will absolutely be back here. Also he has some amazing coffee. I had a cold brew and it was so smooth and delicious. Love the music in here, love the ambience, it's a very chill spot to hang out. Plenty of parking on side streets.

    Such a great cafe! The atmosphere is cozy and warm, the staff is friendly, the coffee is outstanding and the breakfast sandwiches and pastries are delicious! They didn't miss the mark on anything! My husband and I recently discovered this place and have quickly become regulars.

    We got sandwiches delivered from Blue Moon and my Hot Honey Chicken Salad sandwich hit the spot…read more Normally I'm a bit let down by chicken salad because mayo can be a bit boring. However, throw in some hot sauce and hot honey and that changes the game up. Portions were generous so I was pretty stuffed. Solid lunch choice.

    I think I am invisible to the staff their except when they are taking my money. I went in twice,…read moreand both times they took my order, took my money, and then ignored me completely. I was not nasty about it either time (I mean, stuff happens), and the first time I waited while they made my order....the second time I just asked for my money back and you would think I insulted the Karen working their like I had disparaged her entire family. It was actually so weird to me it was funny, and the woman next to me joked that she would walk me to my car if I was worried angry woman would follow me. I mean, talk about DEATH STARE. LOL If they do mess up, I promise you, you will get no apology at all, just snippy people returning your money and acting like it was all your fault. It was bizarre....and it happened both times I visited. I get that the owner thinks his choices of products and ingredients is so superior ( if you read through the comments on this place, he has chimed in several times on bad reviews with a hilarious sales pitch, which does little to change anyone's mind when they don't like the food or service, but I'm sure it makes him feel better---turn lemons into lemon aid, am I right ? Ha ha ha ) Anyhow, I did manage to get the overpriced chicken salad tub that they sell the first time I went (I picked it up myself from the cooler, so they couldn't forget to get it for me, LOL) and I have to tell you...the amount of tarragon in it would curl your hair. They aren't into subtlety, are these people? Totally inedible. Don't bother. There is a Brother's Market up the street that has great lunch and breakfast options.
