I want to give a huge shout-out to Stanford at Sideboard in Lafayette, CA. His hospitality was above and beyond anything we expected. Not only did he stop by our table after dinner to offer us pastries—just to make sure we were taken care of—but he went out of his way to help us in a big way.
As we were getting our kids into the car, my wife accidentally left her purse behind. Stanford literally came running out to make sure it got back to us. That kind of honesty, awareness, and genuine care is rare these days, and it really made our night.
On top of all that, the food was a 10/10—absolutely delicious from start to finish.
If you’re visiting Sideboard, keep an eye out for Stanford. Great guy, incredible service, and an all-around fantastic dining experience! Highly recommend.

It's a great local cozy cafe with good variety of dishes and sandwiches. Indoor and outdoor seating. Foods are OK but the atmosphere is great with large wide area inside and on the porch. Good selection of coffee/tea drinks and salads. Service is semi self service. Great place for groups to play board games, casual gatherings and meetups. Hard accessible with steps. Plenty of parking around in free parking lot opposite street.

Sideboard is a fantastic neighborhood place to get a bite. I've had breakfast and lunch there. Super yummy. Of course everything seems a bit pricey these days. I love to swing by just to pick up a coffee and English muffins for later. It's a place with a great vibe.

Dined Solo, you order at the counter, I had the fried chicken sandwich I was looking forward to the jalapeño slaw included on the sandwich. Hardly any slaw on sandwich, asked for more they wanted more $. Chicken was unexciting. Maybe other choices on menu are better I won’t return.

Too many options, nice place?

Food is delicious. Fried chicken is THE BEST. Fries are perfect. Salads could not be better. Great place for kids. Kids menu is well done. A truly great experience for our family. I'm going back to get cookies because they ran out.
This venue easily became one of my fav coffee shops! The ambiance and decor is amazing. The staff is equally wonderful—Ikaria and Giana were friendly and welcoming. I’ll definitely be coming back and will recommend this gem to my friends!
