Rail Side Cafe

Excellent ambiance, lovely outdoor seating available under pepper tree. Excellent brews. Wonderfully buttery flaky croissants. Warm staff.

A quaint little cafe with a brick and mortar feel. Packed to the brim with fun decor, the food and drink great! Even better was the comfy shaded seating. My friends and I will most definitely be back. The perfect spot to hit up after the gym.

I absolutely love this spot. It is quaint and comfy. It is in the neighborhood, has outside seating, and is just a great place to enjoy a morning brew, whether it be coffee, tea, or something else, and a small bite to eat. I meet a couple of girlfriends there often. We sit and chit-chat as we enjoy the morning. The owners are friendly, courteous, and kind. The service is fast, and selections are adequate. I recommend this place.

Not really a sit down restaurant, more like just a coffee shop. But for being a coffee shop, their food was really good. My kids loved the waits, I loved the croissant with gravy and hot chocolate. It’s a cute little place and all the staff was friendly even though our family of 6 took up most of the indoor seating. We came during the rainy cold season or we would have enjoyed sitting outside. Really cute part of town.

Enjoyed breakfast at this small cafe. It was raining so we sat inside. Indoor seating is limited. Plenty of outdoor shady seating.
Food was tasty. We ordered waffles with sausage and white eggs with spinach croissant sandwich with a cup of coffee and hot chocolate. Staff are friendly.

First time eating here. I was very pleased with the food/drink and the service was excellent. My sandwich was amazing!!!! Super flavorful, I ordered a white chocolate mocha that was also delicious! I will definitely be a returning customer!!!!

Great little Cafe with very friendly staff... I was here on a Friday late morning and it was busy even then.
I got the turkey sandwich and it was easily one of the best turkey sandwiches I have ever had
The fruit side was also fresh and sweet.
Great little place

If I was to change anything it would be to ask them to get a better refrigerator for their drinks.

I'll definitely be back

Rail side cafe is one of my favorite stops on my way to work. They have great brewed/Drip coffee which is primarily what i drink and the few lattes, cold brews and teas I’ve tried have all been very tasty. A plus about this little cafe is they also serve food. Things like pastries, wraps, sandwiches, eggs bagels waffles, toast and more. There is also plenty of outdoor seating with umbrellas and trees for shade. Its only a couple of miles from the 210 and 57 fwy which makes it easy to get to and the greatest part of my experience is the owners Jordan and his wife Amanda are very welcoming and intentionally create a connection with their clients and the staff also shows that. I recommend this business to anyone in this area. Great spot.

Top notch hidden gem! Can't believe I didn't find this place earlier. Very nice location and outdoor seating. The food is also very good. Highly recommend!

Jordan, the owner of Railside Cafe has really put this place on the map ! This Cafe is a favorite of mine when I want to share a special treat with the kids or a friend. The menu is tops, the atmosphere welcoming, both inside & out!
Pets are welcome, too.

Wow! Did not know this place existed! I had previously lived in San Dimas over 20 years and finally get to find hidden gems like this. If you like coffee and breakfast, I believe this is a great place to visit! I love how there is a nice outside seating that feels like you are in a different country in Spain or somewhere in Europe. To add to the experience the music was nice and soothing while me and my wife was eating our breakfast. Upon arrival, there is plenty of parking around, and just to note that they also have boosters if you have kids and they also have Smart Pay if you use that.

Food
We were able to first try these items:
The London Bagel- This was so good! They actually use Boar’s Head Roast Beef, so it isn’t just like your grocery store Hillshire or other brand roast beef. The Bagel was great with the cream cheese and pesto sauce, and I did not know I would actually like their pretzels. Their pretzels is not the regular type, they are seasoned, cant seem to tell where exactly it is from.
The Turkey Caprese Panini - This was really good as well, bread was soft and it was a great mix with the tomatoes, olives inside.
White Mocha Latte - I would caution that this was a good drink, but if you dont like sweet, I would recommend getting this. I would go for the Latte!
Latte- It seems that they use Lavazza coffee here, so this was actually great to hear!

Outside, it was nice that the metal tables with metal chairs has the red umbrella’s with the fresh flowers inside the small vase. The decor inside was just so interesting, I dont have words to really describe it. There was a Christmas tree, there was art, there was plants… you just gotta check it out yourself!

Cant wait to stop by again, relax and try the other things they have on the menu. Will see you again soon Railside! Until then!

The owners are the kindest people, the food is yummy, and the jasmine green tea is my favorite. The seating is nice and shaded, it’s a cozy space, I go there to feel comfortable and have great food. Kind staff, very professional and hardworking. They also have an organic coffee option which is my second favorite. Best family owned business around

Great Chinese food is found in an unusual place. This bar restaurant serves great food even though the outside is sketchy looking lol. Don't judge this bar by it's cover lol. I had sesame chicken and spicy chicken wings with fried rice. Great food. Great service!

Norway bagel is the best lox and bagel I’ve ever tasted! So yummy! Just the right amount of capers, lox, cream cheese and pesto sauce on the side. Must try, great find. Awesome cafe! Not a big fan of getting up early on the weekend but definitely worth it!

Nice food, nice people, nice day to sit outside, although on a sidewalk, the traffic wasn't busy. It's a perfect location for this little deli. Perfect in San Dimas. It's unique and none pretentious.

Tiny shop filled with healthy, freshly prepared goodies! Took my daughter for breakfast after she passed her driving test. Besides tasty food, the perfect choice of largely European music and generous outdoor space make this place worth coming back to!

And, it's dog welcoming!

We love driving up from North OC to eat at this intimate little cafe. Yummy food, great service, beautiful music, relaxing patio seating under the trees.

The chai is wonderful, the pastrami panini tasted amazing. My husband loved the prosciutto panini. The staff was warm and welcoming. A little on the expensive side but worth it. Also really appreciated the to go packaging, foil kept the paninis hot, and minimized excessive packaging.

Got the Belgium waffles that were delicious and a lil CRUNCH on edges ! Just the way I like it ! A side of biscuits and gravy also very good ! With a hot chocolate that was ready to sip once served ! Taste and service is all there !

I have been coming here for years! This place is fantastic to get some breakfast or lunch. It's one of the few places where I can get a great latte and a bagel and lox sandwich. They play beautiful music and most of the seating is outdoors under trees and umbrellas so the atmosphere is very relaxing. The owner is so kind and accommodating and always checks on us to see how we enjoyed everything. I highly recommend it!
