"​I only stumbled upon this gem because when I had backing pt, Connor mentioned his brother works here. I’m so glad he did! It’s literally a "side door" cafe tucked away on a side street. It’s a super cute spot, and since it’s Norwood, finding a parking spot nearby wasn't a headache at all. ​Here’s the thing: I’m more of a caffeine fan than a coffee fan. Usually, I drown my cup in milk and sugar to mask the taste. The barista left almost no room for milk, so I figured I’d take a sip, head home, and top it off there. But the coffee was actually that good—I ended up not adding a drop of milk because the flavor was so smooth on its own. That’s a first for me! ​The food is just as solid. The croissant and breakfast sandwich were way better than your average cafe fare. They have a huge selection of pastries I still need to work my way through. ​Update: Just found out you can order ahead on their app, which is a lifesaver. The crew working the morning shift is great, and I’ve officially made this my post-PT weekend ritual."

"Such a cute little cafe! I stopped by before visiting my friend’s shop nearby, Wildflower Hill (definitely check them out at Winsmith Mill Market!). They have a lovely pastry selection, though you’ll want to get there early as they go fast. We ordered lattes, a BLT, and a breakfast sandwich, everything was delicious, flavorful, and felt 'light' rather than greasy or overwhelming. It’s also a great, quiet spot to get some work or studying done!"

"My favorite place to be! Everyone is so friendly and service is excellent. Best lattes! Colin made a breakfast bowl in place of a sandwich and it was delicious. Support your locals!"

"I was on the lookout for a cozy little spot to kick back, relax, and dive into a good book while sipping on a delicious cup of coffee. The coffee mug was surprisingly big, and let me tell you, that latte was absolutely delightful! I couldn't resist trying their breakfast sandwich, and it did not disappoint – super tasty and fresh! Overall, this place has such a lovely atmosphere and serves up great food and drinks. It's definitely a nice spot to hang out!"

"We’ve been coming to Sidedoor multiple times a week for the past year. The food is delicious and the entire team is lovely. My favorite dishes are the #3 breakfast sandwich, the pain au chocolat and the chicken salad wrap. Highly recommend!"
