🎶 🎉 Happy (early) 29th Birthday to us! 🎉 🎶
We would like to take a moment to thank our wonderful staff who make this restaurant the place that you want to visit time and time again. Without these wonderful people we would not be who we are today and we definitely would not be making all of the wonderfully creative entrées, coffee concoctions, tasty baked goods, and outstanding libations that you adore.
Stop by to celebrate with us and enjoy a mini slice of housemade cake while supplies last! We love you, Fenton, and we are excited to be here at the corner of Shiawassee & Adelaide for many years to come ❤️
🎉 Help us shout-out a heartfelt CONGRATULATIONS to our August Employee of the Month, Bella 🎉
Bella joined our Coffee Department in November of 2025 and we are beyond happy that she chose us. She`s an extremely hard worker who makes everyone`s day a little bit brighter. Bella is known for her quick wit and helpful attitude here at the corner of Shiawassee & Adelaide. She often has a perfectly timed joke that will bring a smile to the faces of those around her. When she is not here making sure that guests get a delicious cuppa joe you can catch her in her own kitchen crafting recipes to share with her favorite friends and her significant other, James. She has an adorable dog named Lola and a lovely school of fish at home who share her favorite pastime which is swimming. Next time you stop by The Side Door, make sure that you say "Hello!" to this true ray of sunshine! THANK YOU, Bella, for being absolutely wonderful and undeniably you!
It`s a lovely Sunday for a coffee tasting!
When you stop by for Sunday Brunch, you can start your visit with some Crim Coffee made by our friends at Fireside Coffee Co.! It is inspired by the important work that The Crim Fitness Foundation does in our communities. This medium roast boasts notes of earth and chocolate with a bit of a nutty aroma. We are pairing this tasty brew with bite-sized morsels of Zingerman`s Blueberry Buckle. Stop by for Sunday Brunch!
