Outstanding! Amazing! Delicious! This plant-based cafe never fails and we had an amazing lunch with a breakfast sandwich, vegan lox bagel, biscuit and mushroom gravy finished with coconut cream pie. OMG, so so good!

This is the greatest cafe in all of Washington. Their food is always fresh and handmade from scratch. Impeccable cafe selection. Always new seasonal items being put on the menu. Kind and friendly service. Food comes out quick and hot. Beautiful interior seating and decor! I hope it stays around forever!

I don't come to Olympia often, but when I do, I try to vist The Park Side Cafe for their amazing, creative, organic vegan food! I order a lot of food with me to take home to Redmond. The biscuits and mushroom gravy along with the lox cream chz bagel were my favorite brunch items that I tried. The burrito was great as well. I smothered it with more mushroom gravy. Out of the desserts, i liked the chai tea pie the most!! Just like Arnold Schwarzenegger, "I'll be back".

Amazing cafe with excellent food, drinks and ambience. I bought the chocolate peanut butter nougat and the carrot cake cheesecake which were both exceptionally good. It is refreshing to see a cafe where any random thing from the shelf tastes this good.

My sister and I split the French lentil soup, the carrot lox bagel, the breakfast sandwich, and the vanilla and earl grey cheesecake. As someone who is dairy free, it was wonderful to have so many options! Soup and lox bagel were my favorite things we ordered. The breakfast sandwich felt a bit dry, maybe better with a sauce. The earl grey cheesecake was good but maybe a bit strong on the earl grey flavor. We also got americanos and they were great! Super kind and welcoming service. Looking forward to going back and trying more things. :)
