Flipside Cafe

Super cute cafe!  The atmosphere was great, and the grilled cheese with roasted tomatoes was AMAZING!

Will and company have put together a fantastic, straight forward menu.  They're using locally sourced, fresh ingredients.  A big plus for me is that they make their own pickles and bake their own bread.  In fact, everything in this place is home made.  Coffee is made to order, one cup at a time.  They're using Ipsento's beans and doing a fine job representing.

It can be a tight squeeze as it's small space.  But, that hasn't stopped all five of my family venturing there for a healthy lunch on Sunday afternoon.  That's also part of the draw.  It's an intimate feel.

Other notes:

Fantastic cookies.  Amazing french toast.  Chicken pot pie.  House made sodas.  Music via vinyl.

Well done, Will.  Can't wait til your open year 'round!

The following reviews are from my seven year old and five year old sons.

"I like Flipside because I really like the grilled cheese dipped in the tomato sauce soup."

"I like the grilled cheese.  I liked the cider.  I like the tomato...(daddy, what's that tomato stuff called again? -- soup) soup."

From the moment we walked into this little 10-seat diner, we loved it ~ with it's friendly faces and interesting small menu on the chalkboard.   The choices are limited in a good way, because they take great care with everything.   I enjoyed a perfectly brewed cup of tea followed by a well balanced and delicious composed beet salad - the ingredients at the right temperature for maximum flavor.   My husband had the buttermilk biscuit breakfast sandwich with scrambled eggs and housemade sausage which he loved as did most of the other guests we observed.   I had the "green" hash with brussel sprouts, zucchini and potatoes along with two perfect sunny side eggs.

To end the meal, we tried the brown butter/brown sugar cookie.   What a delight!  A perfect cookie texture with flavor reminiscent of caramel.

We enjoyed talking to Alfredo, a transplanted New Orleanian whose roots show up in some of the menu items.   We are looking forward to what is next for this great food team
