Parkside Cafe

Absolutely amazing!I always love a good breakfast and this place did not disappoint. Avocado toast is my favorite and I feel they have just about perfected it! I'll be up in this area for the next couple of months and have a feeling they will get to know my face very well here

Hubs and I are going on a Mommy Daddy mini getaway and needed a place for coffee and food. After some searching I found this joint. My husband cracks me up: as we walk in..."There's no one here!" That's his number one rule: people=good food. "It's also 10am and a weekday. Trust the process I say."We were greeted with excellent service by a young brunette lady..sorry I never got your name..rude of me right? ‍ We we're served excellent coffee which..I saw some reviews that criticized the coffee...life must be hard for you if that's your #1 complaint my friends. Too strong...add creamer. I settled on the avocado toast with sourdough bread while the hubs had the green chili omelette. Simple and freaking delicious! My compliments to the chef. Good service, yummy food, and a comfortable environment what else could you want!?

This is by far my favorite breakfast restaurant in Evergreen. I admittedly get food to go all the time and eat it in the park with my boyfriend. Usually on our way to Denver when we don't want to get stuck in any brunch waits in the city. They have the best service and atmosphere. I get the avocado toast with two poached eggs, add smoked salmon for that extra protein! I love it!This is by far my favorite breakfast restaurant in Evergreen.

My wife and I made our first visit to Parkside Cafe today. TLDR - we will be back. It's in a quaint old building in Bergen Park, just off the parkway and close to Evergreen Parkway. As you go in there's a bar on the left and it has that inviting belly up feel to it. The dining room in the back is nice and comfortable. If we hadn't been cold from riding our motorcycles up the canyons early on a Saturday morning, we would have sat out the patio which was sunny and bright. The service was excellent. We were greeted and seated as soon as we walked in. Our waitress showed up and took drinks orders. She quickly checked back in for food and whether I knew the order for my wife who was on the phone. The food was excellent. I'm not a pancake guy but I saw a picture of their pancakes and had to have them. Score! They were fantastic. Soft and chewy in the middle, crispy on the edges but not overcooked in any way. The syrup was delicious. Very vanilla-y. Lisa got the avocado Benedict and started by saying I could have had one of her eggs because she never eats it all. She ate it all. When we were close to done an owner/manager checked in with us. He brought us a sample of their green chile. Next time, I'm having that. All in all, excellent place and well worth the trip.

We were relatively promptly sat. Yay! But then no one came up to us & we were not able to get anyone's attention. Two tables were sat & acknowledged by the waitstaff AFTER us. One got their coffee AND food while we still got no acknowledgment from anyone. No water, no coffee, nothing. Maybe I have RBF but still, it was absolutely bizarre. Are there new owners? If so, this would have never happened before, we used to love this place. As a 25 year resident, I'm super disappointed.

Parkside Cafe was a great new find for us. We sat outdoors and enjoyed the newly renovated patio. It was bustling Saturday morning, with a decently full patio of patrons, pups and servers. What surprised us was a small crew of 3-4 men pouring concrete, at the entrance to the cafe and patio where we all sat. Literally 3-4 feet away from our particular table. Who knows, maybe a Saturday morning time slot was the only concrete pouring time slot available. It was odd though. But not odd enough to deter us from the delicious breakfast that we had, lol. We started with the cinnamon roll. Not too much icy and enough to provide the sweetness you're expecting. My breakfast burrito and his chicken fried steak and eggs were scrumptious. We thought about returning on Sunday, lol. The mountain drive was just enough to leave the suburbs and remind yourself that the mountains are literally next door. We'll def be back and back out in that patio, maybe newly expanded for the second time, haha.

Overall, our experiences here have been very good. Good lunch place. Today, we went for breakfast for the first time and it was a negative experience. Service was very spotty and hard to get. Food served cold. One of our party ordered avocado toast with scrambled egg. It was served, however, without the avocado and had to be redone. Of the four of us, three got their breakfast meals at the same time. Our fourth person sat there waiting...and waiting. We'll go back for lunch but for breakfast - just skip it.

What a lousy restaurant. Ordered a turkey sandwich on a croissant. The sandwich fell apart when I picked it up and I noticed the turkey wasn't fresh turkey, but oily slices from a turkey roll. An 18-dollar sandwich should have fresh turkey. Our waitress disappeared and only came back with the check and only then asked how everything was, apparently impervious to the un-eaten sandwich in front of me and my refusal of a to-go box. I said this is greasy turkey from a roll and inedible. She said "Oh", handed me the bill and I never saw her again. Bad food, a nothing ambiance and rotten service.

Horrible experience. Came to this restaurant recently during a trip up to evergreen and the service was terrible. Rude servers and mediocre food. The food felt undercooked and I felt like I was bothering the staff just by being there. I was walking around the restaurant and I overheard multiple derogatory slurs being made to someone by the staff. Couldn't see any faces but it was made clear it was directed towards a black worker. Do better.

We were greeted with a sour look by a snooty waitress. Ordered coffee and looked at the menu to find everything overpriced. If the waitress had even been a little bit nice it wouldn't have mattered but we got up and left before she brought the coffee. Being from the service industry, I know people can have a bad day but I won't bother with a second visit. Save your money for a place with friendly people and reasonable prices.
