Sideboard Lafayette

Delicious food, friendly servers. Dog friendly patio. Can be a bit of a wait to order inside if you get there at a busy time. I had the flat iron steak sandwich, which came with fries and a dipping sauce of choice; I chose bleu cheese and it ended up being just the right addition to the sandwich (and excellent with the fries too!). The steak was cooked perfectly medium rare. Finished off the meal with a lovely chocolate pot de creme.

A friend insisted we come here for dinner one night. We showed up and saw people with their picnic baskets enjoying there orders out on the lawn. He raved about the pulled pork and grilled flat iron steak sandwiches. The pulled pork did have a really nice smoky flavor. I was hesitant about the steak sandwich but ended up really enjoying it. The torpedo roll was perfect for it. Soft yet dense enough. The chimichurri and other toppings were a nice compliment to the steak. The fries were tasty. I had there spicy ketchup to dip the fries, which was ok. Wish there was a bbq option. The raspberry lemonade was surprisingly filled with pulp; odd but not horrible. I got the bread pudding with pears to go but it just tasted off with the caramel sauce. The lady did say they used pastries from the day before to make them. Not sure if it was part of the problem but I didnt enjoy it. Everything came out to roughly $60; a little steep for what we got.

Latte lover? This is a great place to get a latte and have a chance to sit and enjoy being outside (sit indoors if you like). There is no rush to leave. There are blankets to grab to keep warm when needed. Besides dairy milk, there is an Oat milk option for your hand crafted coffee drinks (cappuccino, Machiatto, mocha, etc.) too.

Sideboard is a long time favorite when we’re in Lafayette. Just a short drive from the famous Orchard Nursery and conveniently located across the open plaza with decent parking. The food is great - chilaquiles, huevos rancheros are staples for a vegetarian breakfast menu. We only go for the weekend brunch menu. Don’t forget to get a coffee cake.
