    Best Mom-and-Pop Breakfast Spot! Railside Cafe is hands down the best little mom-and-pop coffee shop and breakfast nook I’ve come across. I was just looking for a spot to eat while my puppy was at a grooming appointment and stumbled on this hidden gem. The food was fantastic—my brother had the Conductor Burrito (he gave it a solid 5 stars, especially with the salsa), and I had the breakfast wrap, which was absolutely delicious. The fruit on the side was super fresh and perfectly ripe. And the coffee? Easily the best I’ve ever had. Seriously, this place is a must-visit!

    I absolutely love this charming coffee shop! Situated by the train tracks, the name "Rail Side Cafe" is a perfect fit. The service is incredibly friendly, and both the drinks and breakfast options are delicious. The spacious outdoor patio offers a relaxing spot to enjoy a latte while taking in the fresh air. Overall, it was a delightful experience.

    This is my favorite local cafe to escape to. Nestled near the railroad tracks in old town San Dimas, I feel like I'm transported to a little Parisian sidewalk cafe each time I visit. Happy yellow umbrellas highlight the black iron tables spread amongst the patio. Games like Connect 4 and jenga are available to keep the kids of all ages busy. California Pepper Trees provide beauty and shade, and the soft music coming from the cafe really adds to the peaceful ambiance. This is my favorite place to grab breakfast or brunch and read under the trees. In addition to the fabulous atmosphere, the food is excellent. Today, I had a Nutty Berlin bagel with a fruit bowl, fresh OJ, and a decaf vanilla latte. I usually get one of the savory breakfast croissants or a panini. The orange juice is always fresh squeezed and self-serve in a vintage red mini fridge. I have yet to taste a sour glass. The bagel was perfect with creamy peanut butter topped with fresh strawberries and just a kiss of powdered sugar. The fruit bowl is always refreshing with berries, oranges, and crisp cucumbers. The staff is friendly and welcoming. This is the kind of place that I love so much, but I almost don't want to tell anyone about it because then they'll know where I go when I just need a break. Lol. It's my happy little retreat.

    Great place! Simple but well prepared food. Friendly personable service. In a historic building with a really cool interior. And they have good specialty coffee too!
