Jo Ann D.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I think this is a perfect spot for a casual weekend brunch![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Warning, they don't have a parking lot and it looks like a normal house so you might have trouble finding it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]But once you find it, it's so cute![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's such a cute, inviting, eclectic spot. There's indoor, outdoor, back patio type seating. The mismatched furniture and vintage decorations give it such a fun charming vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You order at the counter then find a seat. Silverware, water, and condiments are self serve. I got the hanger steak sandwich and it's one of the best I've ever had! Perfect medium rare and it was still juicy. The arugula gives it a nice touch. They give you a choice of dip for the fries and I got blue cheese which was really yummy. It had a brightness to it which I liked. The pours for the rosé were heavy which I loved! I would skip the drip coffee, it was a bit weak. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It seems like such a family friendly restaurant. They had coloring books by the counter, a play area, and even tiny toilets in the bathrooms.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We came at 1100 on a Saturday and we ordered and sat done right away but by noon there was a long, long line so be mindful there might be a wait!

Snuck a Chicken Salad sandwich photo from a friend

To the much publicized Sideboard with a KQED segment, this place was busy yet this didn't deter the workers from providing customers with attentive service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This location was a hidden gem for a 1st time visitor bc there isn't a sign in front of the house, fortunately friends who have gone before led the way.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Orders: Chai tea-a little weak in chai spice so I felt it could have been better. What fell short on flavor was compensated with the huge cup size. English Muffin w/apricot jam-the English muffin that looked like a huge biscuit had all the home made components of a delicious muffin. Despite this being such a simple item, Sideboard really satisfied my carb intake. Look forward to visiting soon & trying out all the baked goods & dishes that make this place such a popular place.

Mac n Cheese
Carly B.

My absolute favorite chicken sandwich and Mac n cheese. The pesto aoli on the sandwich is so delicious!! The staff is very helpful and the servers are very generous. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a very welcoming spot to come for lunch, coffee, or a quick pastry![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Love coming here and the fact they have so much seating inside and outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Enjoyed their breakfast sandwich. I am a vanilla syrup person and was bummed they have no syrups at all but the mocha was yummy. The line to get to the cashier is probably the worst part about the place. It's so squished in the line and the door so that was frustrating to be constantly moving while trying to look at the menu. Enjoyed the pastry options!

Grilled chicken breast sandwich with their homemade chips
Jessica Z.

Anyone know why they don't have a storefront sign? lol [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have a casual dining setup where you order at the counter, grab a seat (if dining in), and they bring the food out to you.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, though we came mid-day around 3:30 so it wasn't busy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered the grilled chicken breast sandwich. The chicken breast, while thick, was on the smaller side, which left a good chunk of bread on both ends. For the price, I kind of expected a slightly bigger piece of chicken. That said, the roll was super soft and delicious, possibly the best sandwich roll I've had in a while. The chicken itself was juicy and not dry, and the pesto spread paired really well with it. The sandwich overall was still very tasty. The homemade potato chips were also solid. Nice sprinkle of salt in almost every bite. Overall, I give this place a 4.5/5. Would come again next time I'm in the area!

Beet salad with goat cheese and chicken
Jason L.

This place was hard to find at first and from the looks of a few people walking by asking me if this was "Sideboard," I don't think I was alone. Could have put up another big sign to let us non locals know. Haha [[HIGHLIGHT]]Once inside, you are greeted by a bunch of pastries and menus.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I wasn't particularly hungry but saw some heirloom beet salad with goat cheese that I had to try. It surely did not dissapoint. I added some chicken but for the amount of chicken they gave, the extra charge should be less. Overall, it was jam packed and you had to get your own water and silverware. So, not exactly table service but they did bring out the food. So I guess its like a hybrid type of restaurant. Overall, i did like the place. Worth a try, if you can find it.

breakfast mac
Janelle S.

My friend suggested we go here for brunch on a Friday. It was pretty busy around 11 so we ended up standing in line for a bit. Similar to a diner, you order at the counter, receive a table card with a cute food-related pun, and the food is delivered to you. [[HIGHLIGHT]]With indoor and outdoor seating, we were able to find a table fairly quickly despite it being busy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ended up getting the breakfast mac (part of the weekday breakfast menu that can be ordered from until 2). It was nothing like anything I've had before and I really enjoyed it. Having a wonderfully runny egg over bacon mac and cheese elevated the mac and cheese. It wasn't super cheese, but still fairly rich with the egg. I liked that each bite was varied. 9/10 I also got a piece of the gluten free carrot cake to go for a friend. While not a huge fan of carrot cake personally, I can appreciate the balance of the cream cheese frosting with the moist cake. It is on the denser side, but with it not being super sweet, I didn't mind the texture. 7/10 (from someone who doesn't like carrot cake) [[HIGHLIGHT]]I really loved the environment. It was a great place to catch up with friends and talk. They also allow laptop's at community tables.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]If I lived closer, I could see it being a place to order a coffee or tea and work if you don't mind the noise of most other guests not working.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would definitely come back, perhaps to try some of their other menus.

breakfast sandwich
Kayli D.

Love this place! I've been to the lafayette one multiple times, was excited to try this location. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I love that it's in a house, tons of outdoor seating around the back.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Inside is so cute and the staff was very friendly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Came on a weekday morning and had no trouble getting a table. The breakfast sandwich was delicious and so many pastry options! We were recommended to try the olive oil cake and it was delicious. I'll definitely be back!

Egg Benedict
Cindy D.

Super cute spot with lots of seating but it does get popular so you can expect a wait! There is no designated parking and you can't park in the plaza across the seat. You order at the front then find a seat. Everything is self serve, from utensils to water. The menu is delicious--I haven't gotten anything I didn't enjoy!

I was a pickle today
Monika C.

I'm really bummed about this particular review. I am so on the fence that I do think I will revisit them a couple of more times to get a more consistent review. I was here today having lunch with my friends. It's interesting because while it does look like a place that you would go in and sit down and have your order taken by a server, it is not that kind of setup. I stood in line for about 7 minutes while one register person took everyone's orders. When I went to order decaf coffee I was told that they do not have drip coffee and forced to purchase an Americano that was decaf as ot was my only option. I ordered the decaf Americano, gazpacho soup and the bahn mi salad. Everything was more of a get-up-and-get it yourself. Kind of vibe with the exception of when they bring you your food and beverage. So basically, if you want any water or utensils or condiments, you have to get-up-and-get them yourself. For some reason, the the gazpacho did not taste good to me at all, as it was heavy on the taste of vinegar and very sour. The decaf Americano was just that nothing special. The Bahn mi salad originally came out as a sandwich and the server realized they had made a mistake. No problem, I get it mistakes happen. I will say that the server and the service was 5 stars. Unfortunately, I felt that the food was at best a 3 star. Unfortunately, I feel as though the only thing that was 5 stars was the service. The rating I felt it deserved during this experience was a 2.5 but gave them 3 stars. I may come back to give them another try, but not anytime soon. I think I was looking more for a restaurant type of atmosphere, and that wasn't what I got. And when you mix that with the food experience, I felt they deserved at 2.5 I'm truly hoping for a better experience next time.

Breakfast sandwich (daily breakfast menu), Eggs Benedict with Gravlox (weekend breakfast menu)
Jessica D.

After a few visits, I've finally found my favorite items here! This has definitely become my go-to brunch spot in the area. The potato gratin with poached eggs is to die for and their hot latte with whole milk in a soup bowl is the way to go. The smoked salmon is definitely a close second if you ask for extra hollandaise. The shirred eggs are next on my list to try!

Well, we seen the episode on check please last night 2-19-26 Had to try the amazing dishes and fresh pastries oh and the coffee. It was all delicious. We had plato mexicano, breakfast pudding, ham and cheese melt on homemade muffins. Also ordered half bucket of the fried chicken. Mimosas,latte and hot chocolate. We had a few of us in the group. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We arrived when it was busy 11am more or less.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Since we were new we had questions about the menu the dishes and of course anyone standing in line was a bit annoyed. But we kept on ordering and finally paid. Food came out fresh,hot and satisfying. The servers name was Brian such a kind man. We invited another friend and when she arrived we ordered a tuna melt for her. It's fresh tuna y'all. Met the owner and her brother and their father. Such a great spot recommended to go. They have a second place in Lafayette. We definitely will try that one out.. enjoy everyone..

Breakfast Pudding
Jamee S.

Always amazing! Year after year! This is why this is Edward Burns favorite place to go when he's visiting family. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Love the warm ambience Sideboard brings.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food is consistently delicious. Service is always great!

2PM

Do they use seed oils for cooking or in their dressings?

Their salad dressing are all made with either high quality extra virgin olive oil or no oil

Do they have seasonal hot drinks like peppermint etc?

Their coffee is amazing. It's for real coffee drinkers. It's so smooth and delicious you won't need all that other garbage in it

Are there any items that accommodate Whole30?

Yes, I think so, but you might have to ask them to substitute or take out some ingredients

Visiting family and need a good place for guest WiFi & coffee to take a few business meetings - do they offer it here?

I love sideboard but it's a bit busy for conducting business. I'd go to "Coffee Shop" in the old plaza across the street. Also Peasant and the Pear in that same center provides a great business lunch and dinner spot. Coffee Shop has blazing Wifi and…

Uji Time has been one of my favorite local spots. The real standout for me is the food. Their…read morepopcorn chicken is hands down the best I've had -- crispy, juicy, perfectly seasoned, and seriously addictive. The deep-fried squid (basically calamari) is just as good -- light, crispy, and not overly greasy. It's the kind of snack you order "to share" and then end up guarding. And you can't leave without trying their soft serve. The fish-shaped cone is fun on its own, but the unique soft serve flavors make it special. It's creative, delicious, and something you can't find anywhere nearby. It's heartbreaking that they're closing sometime March. Places that put this much care into both flavor and creativity deserve better. If you've ever thought about trying it, now is the time. Local gems like this don't come around often -- and they shouldn't disappear quietly.

Stopping in this weekend, Uji Time Dessert was not quite what I expected…read more I went in thinking they sold ice cream but I'd term their soft serve solidly frozen yogurt, with the ice cream they sell being Moochi. The soft serve had an intensely creamy flavor with a high milk content and while the honey enjoyed his Thai milk tea boba, the style of my mango cup was not for me (although the fish cone option is very cute). We ordered from a tablet at the front and the service was prompt and friendly. I'd love to see them add in some outside seating as beyond the Starbucks, there's no seating in this shopping center. All in all, we may come back to order food but sadly it just wasn't a good match for the type of ice cream I enjoy.
