Side Street Cafe - Newbury Park

I love her eggs Benedict and waffles. I also enjoy their little menu for dogs. They serve you fast and the employees were nice all the 15 years I've eaten here. Only complaints must change.

I happened to stop in during a very busy time, but that didn?t matter. There are quite a few employees in the front and back of the house. I sat there and marveled over how well all these people worked together. Very minimal conversation, they saw something that needed to be done, they took care of it, didn?t matter who?s order or who?s table/section. They got it done while dancing around each other in tight quarters like they were choreographed movements. Within a minute of being seated, I had my drink and setup in front of me. My order was taken and 7 minutes later I was eating. I looked around and saw that the place was full, even most of the tables outside (90 deg). This is definitely a well oiled machine. Now, as for the food itself, good diner food. Putting cold whipped cream on anything hot is a recipe for disaster. But for the most part, the food is good. I give this place 5stars for everything but the food. The food is good, fair priced and will definitely fill your stomach, but is nothing extra ordinary. Having said all that, you have to try this place. It?s off the beaten path but definitely worth the 2 minutes extra it takes to find it?s tucked away location.

Overall great breakfast place. Generous portion sizes, very attentive staff, piping hot food made to order. My only gripe is the hash browns...I could probably find better seasoned wet cardboard.

Service and atmosphere is good, but the food is bland, boring and the coffee is off. Not sure what brand it is but it's bad. Weekday early mornings are BUSY with contractors, utility workers and you name it, so not mellow like the weekends. Overall not bad but noting to write home about.

A wee of a hidey-hOle but wOrth it! Prompt, friendly service from the mOment you step in the door. The young waitress' energy is vibrant and pulls you in; genuinely sweet with beautiful eyes fantastic smile! Out comes my veggie 3-egg omelet w cheese, wheat toast, fresh fruit, and side of bacOn. At first glance, you know you'll be satisfied as the pOrtions are on the larger side. Flavors explode and the buds are happy; half-way and my tummy is, too. As a single, introverted diner, I am checked on ten times mOre than one would rather, but the staff read me well allOwing me to enjoy the meal and my time. Will mOst definitely make it a point to cOme back ?
