Great service from staff, yummy fresh food, and the coffee is wonderful. Had the BLT sandwich with Avo and it was demolished.

A simple menu but reasonable prices and our food was very tasty. Would definitely recommend for a casual bite. Will be back. Btw the sauce on the bacon burger is awesome.

Such a great little cafe with wonderful food, service and coffee, that packs quite the punch. The bagels are delicious and fresh and stacked with flavour. The vintage clothes, board games and book nook also are a lovely inviting touch. The service though is a benchmark of how it should be everywhere, friendly and faultless. A must visit if staying in Spring Hill or nearby!

I was staying at the Johnson for 3 nights last month and went to Side Street Espresso for three mornings to enjoy the cupuchinno and tomato sandwiches. Quiet environment and you must try this! Highly recommend!
