What People Are Saying About Side Street Cafe

The Scene – Inviting green awnings and giant yellow umbrellas attract everyone from Harley owners to young Newport families. The small, jam-packed cafe has a homey environment, with mismatched tables and chairs and walls plastered with photos of family vacations, Little League teams and George Strait. – – The Food – Side Street's bevy of breakfast options includes soul food, Mexican and traditional American favorites. Get a taste of everything with the Side Street Sampler, which comes with sourdough French toast, a giant, fluffy pancake, two eggs any style and hash…
Editor's Tips
- Know Before You Go:
- Plastic is no good here--cash or check only.
- Where to Sit:
- On a nice day, opt for outdoor seating--it's less cramped. Plus, your leashed family pooch is allowed to eat with you.

WHAT A FIND!
by ocfotoman at Citysearch
After driving by this cafe for ages, I finally had the opportunity to stop in for breakfast this morning. Just as sometimes you can immediately tell if a restaurant is going to be a bad experience and you should leave immediately, Side Street gave the feeling that I was in for a treat.
The breakfast menu is HUGE, and everything looked wonderful. After debating between the SOS and the Eggs Benedict, I took the E/B. Although my English muffin was a tad burnt, everything else made up for it. The eggs were poached perfectly. The homemade Hollandaise was rich but not too cloying, and had a bright note to it. The ham was amazing. It was REAL ham; not compressed like Denny's, and it was thick and flavourful. The house potatoes were tasty with accents of green bell pepper and onions. I left most of them on my plate, not because they weren't delicious, but I had way overused my calories and carbs for that meal.
Coffee was good, water was plentiful, and service was attentive and friendly. I'm going back next week ... maybe the SOS will be on my plate next time.

Great Breakfast!

They give you a lot of food and not a lot of dough. Fun and funky atmosphere. Water smelled a little funny though. Country fried steak was really a steak!!!

Best Omlette in the O.C.
by epricot at Citysearch
Friendly staff, quick service and high turn-over rates ensure that waits aren't long even if the restaurant is packed...which is not uncommon in this retro eatery. love it. must try their turkey avacado omlette or their bacon avacado sourcream omlette! Yummy! 2 thumbs up for this one.
- Pros: the food!
- Cons: need more tables
