A nice assortment of baked goods served with a smile! The staff here is very friendly and chatted with my husband and I amicably while we tried to decide what to choose from the pastry case on Monday morning. There were several beautifully decorated cakes and other niceties but we opted for a chocolate croissant and a chocolate cherry shortbread, along with a coffee to go. They serve Caruso's coffee which I love so I couldn't pass that up! The croissant was pretty good once we got home and warmed it up, and my shortbread was good as well (of course the coffee was excellent). A little pricier than some of the other places in town but all in all a good experience. They have a calendar of homemade soups that intrigued me so we will definitely be back to check out their lunch! Thank you, West Side :)

Stopped by here to purchase some desserts for later in the day. Didn't have time to make anything myself. I was able to park near the entrance. The bakery is doing an excellent job of following COVID safety protocols. A mask is needed to enter. The staff was helpful and friendly. There was a good selection of items I could purchase. Everything was very fresh. There were unique baked good too. Excellent customer service! My items were packaged very well. Everyone I purchased desserts for very much enjoyed eating them. Gave West Side Bakery the credit.

My sister ordered a carrot cake for my dad's birthday. It was the best carrot I've ever had!

No cake will ever top this cake! My fiancé has always had a sword on his birthday cake...it's weird, I know. But I submitted a request at West Side Bakery and even though they had no idea what a "sword cake" would look like, they were so friendly and just asked for flavors and colors. The result far exceeded my expectatIon! And it was the best tasting cake we have ever ordered! Thank you SO much! I wish I could give you ten stars!

The baked goods are great. The earlier you go the better because they sell out of the good stuff fast.

I talked to the owner for a while and she told me how she has worked in a Mexican restaurant in the area for years and was always disappointed that they rarely carry any of these delicious fruit-based snacks that are so popular in Mexico. She was extremely friendly and charismatic and definitely has a passion for this new venture of hers. She offered samples of a few different items off her menu and we decided on an order of bionico. Bionico is a modern Mexican twist on a traditional fruit salad. It gained popularity in the 1990s in the city of Guadalajara, Jalisco. Rosita's version contains fresh cut papaya, cantaloupe, honeydew, strawberries, apples and banana. She offered it with toppings of granola, coconut flakes and pecans. Then it is drizzled with a generous portion of a sweet crema. The bionico was so good! It was so much better and more refreshing than the best ice cream you can get in the area. Another person ordered a Piña Loca which is another refreshing fruit-based treat. She also offers some savory snacks such as the Chicharrones Preparados and Ceviche which would go great as a side with some tacos from Taqueria El Paso next door. Everything about this experience was fantastic. The food was fresh and amazingly delicious. The service and enthusiasm for the product was great. I definitely will visit again and suggest that you make some time to try it out as well!

It has been on my list for ages but it isn't close to my house and the wait is always long! But in March 2026, my bf and I braved the wait so I can finally check this place out! Overall, it is clear why Blue Door is always packed - the food, while overpriced, is delicious and made by a team of talented chef and bakers! I'll say this was a 4.5 star experience. We were quoted a wait for about 45 minutes but we were seated after 30. The case of baked goods were enticing me the entire time but I resisted! Our waiter, Steven, was funny, helpful, and had a great personality. The place, obviously, was packed, with little room in between tables. We saw quite a few patrons order the incredibly indulgent horchata French toast ($24) and I don't think I witnessed anyone finish it! To start, I got a coffee from local coffee roasters, Angel Falls, for $3.50 and my boyfriend treated himself to a fancy hot chai $6.50. It was pretty good local coffee! I wanted to try their famous croissants so I ordered the croque madame croissant sandwich with breakfast potatoes ($21). The croque madame was incredible! The breakfast potatoes could have benefited from an interesting seasoning. My boyfriend wanted everything on the menu but decided on getting the "special menu" loaded baked potato breakfast burger with salt+vinegar brined house chips (aka fries) for $24. The potato inside was a large potato latke. This heavenly creation kept him full for hours. In the end, our bill was pretty pricey for a brunch but we enjoyed every bite. I'm not sure if I will be able to come here again since we got lucky with our wait, but they keep changing their menu and something might entice me so much, I'll endure any wait!

We started with drinks: black berry mimosa and salted Carmel mocha latte. Both were divine. The…read morewait staff was attentive despite the steady stream of customers. The exterior of the building is not much to look at, but inside they have really made it charming. The entrées we chose were the classic eggs, Benedict and the quiche. At first, I thought they were quite pricey, when the entrées came out, the portion sizes are enormous. It is always very busy I'm told, but it is worth the wait.
