"Mountainside Cafe is a Must-Visit! I had the pleasure of visiting Mountainside Cafe today, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. The moment you walk in, you're greeted with a wonderful, inviting vibe that sets the tone for a truly enjoyable meal. We tried the pulled chicken wrap and the avocado sandwich, and both were incredibly delicious. But it wasn't just the food that impressed; the service was absolutely tremendous—attentive, friendly, and efficient. And if you're a coffee lover, you have to try their cappuccino; it was tremendous, easily one of the best I've had. We also enjoyed their strawberry refresher drink. Honestly, everything about Mountainside Cafe was really good. If you're looking for a spot with great food, fantastic drinks, excellent service, and a super nice atmosphere in Connecticut, this is definitely the place to go. I can't wait to go back!"

"Quaint, modern, breakfast and lunch spot with about a dozen tables and a small bar (without booze). Unusually good coffee and excellent muffin ...assuming you're not on a low-fat diet. Fast, friendly service. A bit pricey but worth it if you're looking for an upscale experience."

"This tiny hole of a restaurant was interesting. Small menu with items like eggs with homefries and a slice of toast (just one?!) to cheeseburgers. Food was mediocre like any place and didn't get any coffee items because of pricing. We went elsewhere for that. Very small place with 2 maybe 3 servers and an overrated fluffed up menu. My husband had gotten his wisdom teeth so he ordered just a plain omelette and homefries and toast. Homefries liked like he was eating charcoal and the toast was in-house made. Service was okay and the server forgot to grab hot chocolate. Luckily we weren't charged. You can pretty much get food elsewhere for a cheaper price."

"Great atmosphere but out waiter never put our order in, resulting in us sitting there for half an hour waiting for simple egg sandwich dishes. Wouldn’t recommend especially if you’re on a tight schedule. Cool location for car spotting though."

"We drove from Hartford to this place to try their brunch and coffee. However, due to their’s chef's unavailability kitchen was closed. We tried their coffee and it was great. Also liked their bakery stuff like bagels and muffins. The atmosphere and ambiance are beautiful and the staff is also sweet and courteous. I’ll visit again to try their breakfast/brunch menu. FYI - They have good parking spaces and also have outdoor seating arrangements."
