I have gotten the Seizure Avocado sandwich at this deli several times and it is usually delicious, however the past 2 days it has been prepared incorrectly and is disgusting. The panini bread is STALE and for some inexplicable reason, they have started cooking the red onions on the grill before adding them to the sandwich (they are supposed to be raw red onions!). They’ve also skimped on the sauce & avocado. It has been incredibly disappointing. I even told them today that my sandwich was prepared wrong yesterday — and it was again prepared incorrectly — dry, overcooked chicken, more grease than sauce, cooked, limp onions and one piece of avocado on the toughest, stalest panini bread ever. What happened? This used to be the best sandwich on the menu and now it’s indigestible. Had to toss the sandwich yesterday and today. Very disappointed.

Desserts are delicious!

$6.75 for a small canned La Colombe iced coffee is highway robbery... Stay away from this place!

I needed a juice drink that will keep me revitalized for the day, so I went to Sidebar Cafe to check it out. The whole cafe looked spacious, lively, clean and organized. People were having conversations and ordering the various foods there. They even have a stand where you can choose cooked food to put in your plate before purchase. My interest was in their juices. It turns out that their Green Power option was delicious, and the server was the manager. The customer service was excellent and I enjoyed my stay. The recommendation to come here was from my colleague. When I visited again, I finally got a small buffet order of plantain and pepper steak with fried rice. To be honest, the food is so delicious that I felt that it is organic to the taste. Freshly made for all visitors. Thank you Sidestep!

Vegetarian options: The stand clearly has a vegetarian selection. There are sautéed vegetables in the selection, as well as the vegetarian-friendly smoothies and juices to follow up.

It’s ok taste but I’m not sure why I spent $10.50 on a turkey sandwich w/ avocado on a roll…

Underwhelming food and overpriced. Everytime I order with cook in the morning he has a disgusting attitude.

This is just a lunch spot. The food is really good if you get there at the right time. If you don't, the food will be cold. I recommend the gumbo.

First time at this place. Got a breakfast platter. Had high hopes but the home fries had no taste/ flavor. The sausage patties were not the best. The eggs were good. Waste of my money since i only ate the eggs.

I've seen the guys behind the panini counter roll their eyes at orders more than once, acting like I was bothering them lol. I didn't order anything special. Once was a burger. Another time it was a panini (that's already on the menu). If you don't want to work, why are you here?! There's too many options around here to deal with this disrespect. This was my last visit.

Came here one day to try it out, and I really enjoyed it. They have seating, bathroom and many options to eat. There are many different stations where you can get different things, such as a buffet, Spanish/Asian food, pizza, smoothies/hot drinks and deserts. It can be a bit pricey though, but if you’re looking for a quick bite, definitely come here.
