A little hipster, but all fun. The Other Side Cafe is a great alternative to the sometimes overly-posh Newbury vibe, and the crowd reflects that. From the waiter rockin' the skinny denim cut-offs to the hostess who greets you with a lovely smile and several facial piercings, the staff and clientele aren't your usual Newbury types. Their lunch is fabulous (the all-day breakfast won me over...ALL DAY!), and they offer vegetarian/vegan choices for those of us who are truly green.

Went to The Other Side Cafe on Newbury last night with a good friend. As always, the food was fantastic. I had a chicken burrito and it was just what the doctor ordered. Had a couple Delirium Nocturnums too, which is not often found. Had a great time as always, although I do sometimes wish that the staff would do a better job of keeping some of the loud college students more behaved. Often I find myself a little annoyed with rambunctious, hormonal college boys showing off. Kinda takes away from the good vibe, but TOSC is still a great place to hang, eat, drink and just chill!

The Other Side Cafe is a great place to sit and relax. Its just at the end of Newbury Street on the other side of Mass Ave. We sat outside for lunch and the service was prompt and the prices were good. They serve breakfast all day so I managed to get an omelet with a biscuit and home fries. All were delicious. I rode my bike to The Other Side and was pleasantly surprised when I noticed there were about 15 bikes parked out front. Definitely a nice change of pace.

The otherside has the best cheese and fruit platter I've come across in a long while. On top of that though it's a really chill place to go, sit with friends and have a beer, and of course drop in on a tuesday to go check out one of their movie flicks.

One word. Brunch. I really like the yogurt, granola and fruit bowl. Just awesome. Always fresh fruit, whatever is in season. If I'm feeling a little extra hungry, there's nothing better than the Blue Ribbon Breakfast. What's that you ask? How 'bout eggs, knockworst and a PBR draft. That's what. Instant cure for the Sunday blues.

In the summer they have the best gazpacho around... really refreshing. The roast beef and Borsin sandwich with a good smoothie is a must try combo too. two thumbs up!

The Other Side is one of those places that seems to mold itself to whatever crowd is there. Sometimes it feels like a typical Boston Irish pub, sometimes its like a bike messenger depot, sometimes I remember that this is still Newbury St! And that is why I dig it so much. Always a new crowd and good music.
