Side Door Cafe

Came for breakfast and had their breakfast burrito which had bacon bits and potato and eggs and I added chorizo. It was so good. Husband had bagel and lox which he enjoyed, too. Apple cider was delicious, too. Service was friendly and fast!

I can't speak to the food counter up front but the wine bar in the back was super cozy with friendly service, good wine, and a couple of TVs to catch the game. Would come back.

Probably the best place for breakfast in the lodge. Coffee is delicious, food is amazing and customer service is 5/5.

Awesome place to get away from the rain, great portions!! My boyfriend and I were on a budget and got two hot chocolates that were amazing, he also got scrambled eggs. I don't like eggs that much but they were so soft. My banana bread was a little dry but had such a great flavor. The price was amazing for what they offered!! Georgia and Patrick helped out and they were very speedy and personable. I've had some underwhelming food experiences here in Mammoth but this place definitely lifted my spirits, exactly what I was looking for at a great price. Forgot to add: definitely get the Italian sodas, I got the strawberry one and I wanna try the cherry one next. So good!

Okay I just have to say… we love Side Door. It’s such a good spot after skiing. The vibe is fun but chill, not try-hard, just easy and comfortable. And Joey is the best. Amazing espresso martinis in all of mammoth!! Scotty also amazing! Seriously. Both are so nice, super quick, and make great drinks. They both make the whole place feel welcoming. You can tell they actually care and aren’t just going through the motions. Every time we go in we end up staying longer than we planned because it’s just that kind of place. If you’re in Mammoth, definitely stop in

Had delicious crepes here. We got a savory one and a sweet one. Both delicious! Will be going back soon for more. We went around noon during a weekday and it was pretty quiet. Service is ok.

This is the first time I’ve ever written a review, but I wanted to recognize Liz. This was our second visit, and she once again provided amazing service. Despite of staff challenges, Liz handled the situation professionally and made sure we were taken care of. She stayed on top of everything—helping guests, supporting the rest of the staff, and stepping in wherever she was needed. her positive attitude makes a big difference. Thank you, Liz, for making us feel so welcomed.

Wonderful experience with my family! Great service & delicious food (highly recommend the spinach salad with strawberries). Looking forward to going back!

Side Door is a must-visit in Mammoth! Patrick at the bar is a 10/10 bartender at this fine establishment. His customer service is top-notch and he makes the whole experience great. Excellent drinks and even better vibes. Highly recommend!

A Hidden Gem in Mammoth Village! Side Door is the best-kept secret in Mammoth! Tucked away in the village, this cozy spot delivers in every way—from food to vibes. Their crepes are absolutely delicious, with a gluten-free batter that’s light, flavorful, and perfect for sweet or savory cravings. Don’t skip the breakfast potatoes—they’re crispy, buttery perfection, easily some of the best I’ve had anywhere. The espresso is rich and bold, and their award-winning Bloody Mary? Totally lives up to the hype. Whether you’re coming in for a slow breakfast, a chill lunch, or a cozy dinner with friends, Side Door hits the mark every time. Can’t wait to come back!

This place has a nice outside view and tables and chairs. Fondue was amazing but the cheese platter was very week. Italian dip is highly recommended and the chicken pesto crepe was also good. Here are a few pictures of the amazing food. Server was nice.

After a long wonderful sunny day enjoying the mountain I came to visit side door. The staff was nice, they didn't have Cash singles to provide my change but it's ok. The Philly steak sandwich was decent, a bit too salty. I will not order that again. It's convenient next to the village gondola. Happy hour is very limited: $1 off drinks and appetizers from 3-6pm

The place is ok, quite small so it's possible that you'll need to wait. The prices are average according to the area and the taste is ok, the best for me was the Club panini but the Italian panini is sweet (when it should not be like this) and the nutella crepe tastes not so good.

Bad service, even we tip they are angry to work in Christmas Eve. The hot chocolate is cold. Not worth it. We asked for eat it and got disposables.

I really wanted to like this place. It’s well located in the main village square and it has a good selection of classic crepes but when I went in this afternoon with my husband and baby, blocking the small entrance with my stroller and desperately looking for someone to asist me, I was met with shear indifference from the 5 staff present, none of whom cared about my presence enough to ask me if I need a table or anything at all for that matter. We left disappointed after a few minutes of waiting.

Food and prices were great, and the atmosphere was warm and trendy. I very rarely review restaurants, but I had to for this one because I was extremely offended by two of the employees who worked here. The bald guy accused my friend of ripping them off when she asked for a refund (before the drinks came out), and then another employee rudely came to our table trying to “catch us in the act” of sharing drinks, but then apologized when he realized that we weren’t… I also witnessed the bald guy saying demeaning things to the cooks in the back, including, and I quote: “that’s why I work up here and not back there”. He later apologized to one of the members in our group and comped one of our meals, but overall we will NOT be coming back here, despite enjoying the food and responsible prices. To clarify, the servers were fine— it was just the hosts up front.

We went in for wine and dinner however the place was totally empty. The staff were eating their meal when we walked in and it looked like we disturbed them. I asked them what was on the happy hour menu and she didn’t know if they had a happy hour and told me it ended at 5. I told her it ended at 6 and she had no idea of what was on the menu and said the tapas and a cocktails might be 10% off. Well we ended up leaving a bit disappointed however if you look at other reviews I think we made the best decision.

A dark, empty, and depressing place. The employees were sitting in the back playing on their phones. My order was taken by a young lady who looked like she'd just woken up from a nap, and the cook seemed annoyed that he had to get up from his chair. I couldn't eat my sandwich because the meat tasted so bad. It was completely overcooked, dry, and salty. A horrible experience.
