The Park Side Cafe

Always a fun plant based spot on our drive through Olympia. So many delicious options. Can't go wrong with any of the food!

I absolutely love this place! Cannot say enough good things - 90% of the food I've tried has been a 10/10. The biscuits and gravy - both types - are my absolute favorite but their desserts are amazing as are the hand-pies, wraps, and burritos. Definitely recommend to anyone who is plant-based, but also those who are not - my partner eats animal products and he loves this place too!

Had a great New Year's Eve dinner here. Vegan place with lots of gluten free options.

Had an amazing breakfast at Park Side Cafe. Love that EVERYTHING is vegan. The breakfast burrito was delicious 😋 & their prices are fair. Brewed coffee was amazing with their homemade coconut creamer. I will be back soon.

One of the best meals I've had in Olympia. Excellent food, beautifully presented and prepared. We were fortunate to have been able to eat at one of the last fixed price multi-course dinners. We're definitely looking forward to eating here again.

My first time ever visiting the cafe and my husband's second visit. We found this place through my uncle-in-law who is Vegan. All I can say is WOW! AMAZING! DELICIOUS! I had the carrot lox bagel (pictured below) and my husband and I shared the German Chocolate Cream Pie (not pictured, but SO SO GOOD!) We will definitely be visiting again. We are very happy customers!

We found this vegan restaurant on our way back home. What a great find. The food was excellent. We had biscuit & gravy and samosa hand pie. Then we couldn’t resist the carrot cheesecake. We will be back.

Supreme Vegan deliciousness and coffee perfection! This cafe serves up quality service with exemplary food! Makes me almost wish I never moved but made the visit worth the travel! Best carrot lox I’ve ever had and I have had a lot!! Biscuit was fluffy, gravy was fantastic and the empanada filled w setian streak and onions was impressive! Espresso was perfect! The curry Mac salad could use a lil salt but we all can’t be flawless! Thank you for a beautiful clean environment and wonderful food!

Highly recommend to anyone who loves tasty food! I’ve been here too many times to count in the past year. Every time the food is delicious. Staff is friendly and quick! My fav is the queso breakfast burrito and any of the fruity hand pies. My partners fav is the pizza hand pie (their Satan pepperoni is surprisingly delicious) and any of the hand pies. The burritos are stuffed and full of delicious flavor! My fave for deliciously fresh & local ingredients, and a welcoming atmosphere.

Some amazing vegan food the mushroom gravy with the turmeric latte was so delicious, the staff was so friendly as well

Eat on the roof top terrace for the views. They’ll bring food up to you.

They had some sugar free options for my drink. I got the Indian flavored hand pie with the mint raita. I think it was called a samosa hand pie? The chocolate cup cookie was nice too. The drink was not too sweet, which I prefer.

They did get a portion of my order wrong.
I ordered a lemon flavored pie. But I got a German chocolate pie. Either way it was good. And it wasn’t worth mentioning at the time. But now I can recommend their chocolate pie. I just enjoy that it was not sickeningly sweet. Good job!

Amazing vegan food!! I love the biscuit and gravy, I was surprised at how good it could be vegan. The view is also great, and the interior is beautiful. The staff is nice and helpful. I wasn’t a huge fan of the cream cheese but my dad liked it. Everything is also super environmentally friendly. I would definitely recommend! And would recommend eating on the roof.

It's raining 🌧 outside and the atmosphere is cozy. I love to use that word. Alright. All three salads are delicious and the coffee, a local roast was nice to get warmed up with . As well, as the amazing Peanu Butter... pie! With a mocha. I'm vegan and wasn't aware of that when I wandered in. So, it was a bonus surprise. Thanks for a wonderful experience on a northwest kind of day.

We went there for the evening 5 course meal. The service was excellent, and the varied food combinations was terrific. If you are wanting to try a wide variety of food, this is a great place for a quality date. The meal was $75.00 a person.

I've enjoyed everything I've had there, the staff are terrific, and it's all vegan!

I went to the New Year's Eve dinner and it was excellent. They made an occasion out of it with the set up and the gourmet menu.

I feel terrible that I didn’t do a review of this place when I went here! So my father and his wife were driving through and wanted to take us out for lunch “somewhere with real food” he says. So I scour Google maps and find this place. I call and ask about their selection. Mentioning my fathers request and that his comment comes after me taking him to an overly healthy kind of place that I won’t name. She laughed and said that their food tastes “real” and I said fantastic so away we went. Parking is tough as there was construction on the street but that was months ago and you can park across the street easily at the grocery outlet lot! I ordered a chai and a breakfast sandwich and the carrot cheesecake. All vegan and gf. My family ordered the pizza pocket thing and some other items I don’t recall but every single person, including my non gf or vegan dad and wife, were fat and happy when we left. We ate in and the ambiance is amazing. The bathroom clean and tidy. The reusable plates, cups and silverware made my green little heart go pitter pat! We will absolutely be back and I’m actually glad our regular places were closed that day so we found this place!

Oh and the woman at the counter was so patient with us and had the best attitude!

Delicious vegan food from people who go the extra mile to source organic and local, in a setting with a relaxed coffee shop/cafe vibe. We've had the breakfast burrito, breakfast sandwich, carrot lox with cashew cream cheese on bagel, a variety of Dishes. My husband tried both biscuits and gravy, one with a mushroom gravy and one with a vegan sausage gravy, and says they're both really good. In an extra touch they were willing to share the nutritional information-- big help for diabetics and anyone else who needs to know the macro info. A few outdoor seating spaces available with umbrellas as well as indoor seating and takeout.

I love the food here. The service is great... I've never been unhappy with anything I've had here or any experience.
The breakfast sandwich specifically is my favorite thing!!

So glad I was finally able to check out this wonderful vegan restaurant. I got the large burrito with seitan crumbles, jalapeños and mushroom gravy. It was enough for me to have the other half for breakfast the next morning. Absolutely delicious food.

Food is so tasty, expertly prepared and nourishing. I love the Covabelli coffee. I’m not vegan or vegetarian but I choose this place over most others because of the QUALITY.

I think prices are very fair considering portion size and the cost of good organic ingredients.

Place to improve:

I’d love more sweets without cane sugar (honey or maple syrup would be great! Can the lemon cream pie be made w/o sugar?? ;)

The gluten free biscuit is too dry IMHO and it needs more gravy.

Everything else is perfect.
