This cafe is in a great location on San Dimas Ave. They have breakfast and lunch and we opted for lunch panini's. My turkey panini was seriously one of the best sandwiches I've had. The sides are interesting and I opted for English cucumber slices. I had peach iced tea which was delivered to our table in a huge pottery mug. I love brewed tea so this was great. There are decent-sized pepper trees giving a nice filtered shady area for outside dining. There are tables with umbrellas as well. We lingered longer than we should have because everyone was so nice and the cafe so charming. This is definitely one of my new favorite places! Check it out! read more

Stopped by rail side cafe for a quick breakfast and coffee. The house coffee was tasty, well-balanced and served in large mugs. Sampled the egg white, spinach, and cheese on croissant, which was pretty good but nothing extraordinary. The hubby had the cinnamon roll which was very good. The service was too notch, friendly, and attentive. read more

Customer service was great! Ordered the panini caprese: was delicious! Unfortunately, the drinks aren't as appealing. I ordered the green tea latte: it was too sweet and was a weird green color read more

Rail Side Cafe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Dimas, California

I went to this little cafe on a whim because I was the area and let Yelp persuade me to try the Rail Side Cafe. This place has a really cool and relaxing vibe about it with art deco on the walls, jazz playing in the background, and train memorabilia everywhere. While their menu is limited because of the space that is available to them, they use only quality products for their items. For their meats they use boars head, for their coffee Lavazza, and the pastries came from a local bakery. Everything that I had was delicious. What I enjoyed was one of their massive croissants with a side of fresh strawberries. The croissant was warmed using the Panini press that they have causing the buttery flavor of the pastry to be really present. I had their green jasmine tea and it is the absolute perfect balance of floral notes with the snap of green tea. I honestly enjoyed my time and my items from this cafe. I also enjoyed chatting with Jordan while I was there. I know he will do fantastic work with his cafe in the community. I would highly recommend trying this little cafe if you get the chance. It was the winds of chance that brought me here and I am super glad that they did. If you live in the area definitely check out their Canvas and Coffee events because they look super fun! read more

Rail Side Cafe - Getting some breakfast in this morning. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Dimas, California

Started out our rainy day sleeping in and we needed some food. Something warm and good. Went on Yelp and found this place. The menu looked good and it looked like it would satisfy my picky 12 year old. Walked into this small, but cozy cafe and ordered a USA melt, turkey panini, loaded waffles, and an XL hot chocolate. We waited patiently for our food and I looked up and saw some Emmy's on a shelf. I'm a TV fanatic, so to see a real like Emmy was so cool. Our food came out and everything was perfect. My bread was perfectly grilled, the roast beef and cheese was perfect and the pesto was an excellent flavor. We are definitely coming back to try other things on the menu. Oh and the service was great! A definite new favorite. read more

Great cafe, ambience and food. The service was lovely and the staff helpful. We really enjoyed our first experience and will be back. I'd recommend this place for breakfast, brunch and lunch. Very quaint place with a chilled atmosphere. Music is also pretty cool (French). Feels like you're in a warm Paris side street! read more

I appreciate them being open still. My favorite though has to be the Chai. Anytime I can get out their way I get 2. Iced, hot or blended it is the perfect ratio of spice. read more

Great great service, atmosphere, and coffe.

Delicious food! Great music! Calm atmosphere. Going to be coming back here again and again!

What a great place to eat while enjoying the outdoors. We hiked it down from Via Verde area just to get to this place...and it was all worth it! I just enjoyed their delicious organic oatmeal with strawberries and brown sugar! My husband had the Wake Up #1 croissant breakfast sandwich and my little boy had the 6 pancakes and sausage meals. It was all great quality! The coffee was also the Bomb-Dot-Com! So glad this little jewel exists! read more

I ordered four pastrami sandwiches and they call me 15 minutes later to tell me they're out of pastrami after I drove all the way from Arcadia. This is the second time something like this is happened. read more

Oatmeal was undercooked and no one seemed to care. When I mentioned that it was undercooked the server was like "meh" no offer to make it right either. Will not go there again. read more

Great little family owned cafe with some really yummy food and some of the best cafe drinks. One of our favorite places to go!

Love their pastrami! My husband likes their breakfast sandwich! Pastries and coffee delish!

Very cute rail side cafe with an outside patio. Lovely train-themed decor. I can recommend the Panini 3-cheese, the Rail Caprese and strawberry smoothie. Everything is fresh made so it may take a little longer. (This is thankfully no fat food) Staff is very friendly and helpful. read more

I go here a couple of times a week and am always greeted warmly. The vibe and atmosphere is always positive and relaxed and food and coffee are always on point! read more

First of all, the people working here are very friendly. The service was sensational and the food is served quickly. The location is nice and the decorations are nice to look at. But.... the food is bad. Very bland, without flavor. I choked it down reminding myself that "it's good for me". But there's no reason why healthy plates should have to be tasteless. I had a bowl with egg whites, spinach, sausage, red bell peppers, and I think there were tiny tomatoes as well. All the ingredients combined in my bowl to create a bland and rubbery breakfast. I was drawn to this place by its reviews on yelp, but now I'm wondering if the reviews are real. I'm glad I tried it because I like to support local business, but I don't plan on going back. read more

I attended Cal Poly Pomona and when I lived nearby the campus, Rail Side Cafe was the perfect morning hangout! Reasonably priced, I would order a London Bagel and a mocha latte to start my morning/brunch either before class or after. Their small outdoor setup was convenient since it's off a busy street (San Dimas Ave.) and the overhanging tree allowed shade for most of the space. Furthermore, the owners are a wonderful couple who take their time to speak with each customer and assure each person leaves will full bellies and full smiles. read more

Best breakfast croissants!! My family enjoys many of their breakfast plates, seriously not a plate we didn't like so far. French Toast is delicious. Protein bowl is amazing also. Friendly and great customer service as well. One of our favorite local spots for breakfast. read more

Friendly, quick service, and good quality food! I had the Wake Up breakfast sandwich #1 with the sausage, eggs, havarti cheese, on a croissant and my daughter had the Avocado Toast.

Rail side's sandwiches are phenomenal! We order Rail Side at my work every week almost for twenty people. The owner delivers them personally. I haven't even gone on my own because I live far from where I work, so I don't know what it's like at the venue, but I love the food and am blown away every time. read more

We were pleasantly surprised by this hidden gem, we discovered on yelp, on our way to an appointment. The food was delicious, the employees were supper friendly and to top it off, we sat outside in the patio, music playing and a cool breeze made it a pleasant experience. The latte was delicious and my husband enjoyed his ice tea. The only negative comment is the gluten free options were slim, which is why I ordered the toast. But at least they have gluten bread. They had a variety of sandwiches that looked good, but we were there for breakfast. My suggestion would be to offer gluten free muffins or scones. Regardless, I will eat there in the future whenever I am in the area. read more

I ordered a Montreal bagel on an everything bagel. I was given a plain bagel. I also ordered two muffins. The menu states fruit on the side for the muffins. The fruit on the side is half a strawberry and a sliver of an orange. The side fruit is a garnish, not a side of fruit. I only received one muffin despite my order and paying for two. When I went to correct the order, one barista was accommodating, the other was mad at me. I just went to get what I paid for. Not a friendly or easy experience. read more

I used to live near here, they had the absolute best chai tea latte. Always friendly employees. The breakfast sandwiches were great to.

This cafe is so cute and peaceful and overall has great vibes.They have great oldies playing in the background and a basket of blankets outside that is perfect for this fall weather. The customer service is great and they have your food out pretty fast. It was my first time coming here and it's definitely not my last! I recommend the breakfast wrap and chai latte :) read more
