Real talk: this espresso drink isn’t from our café—but we’re looking forward to the day we can make one for you again. ☕💚 Our friends at Narrative Coffee have a vegan PSL on the menu and it’s very very good.
September marked our first month under new ownership, and it brought more challenges than we expected. Between staffing changes, quieter shows, slower sales, and some essential equipment breaking down, it’s been a tough start. But we’re still here, still building, and excited about what Bayside can become.
For now, espresso service is on pause while we work through equipment and permitting issues. Drip coffee and tea are still here to keep you cozy!
And there’s plenty to look forward to:
🎃 Multiple Halloween celebrations, with human and animal companion costume parties…
🌱 New, lower-cost menu options—with more on the way
🥡 Online ordering for those stay-in-and-get-comfy days
🍳 Weekend Brunch and creative new specials coming soon
🎶 Music, animal sanctuary fundraisers, drag, comedy, mutual aid markets, and more community events in the works
🍻 A growing bartender team to help keep the bar open whenever we are
The Bayside Cafe is more than a restaurant. It’s a place to come in from the rain, share a meal, catch a show, and connect. That’s what we’re working to keep alive—and your visits help make it possible.
If you’ve been meaning to stop by, we’d love to see you. Bring a friend, try something new, order takeout, or come spend a little time with us. We know budgets are tight, and we’re grateful whenever you choose Bayside.
**Starting next week, we’ll be closed Mondays and Tuesdays as we shift to a seasonal schedule.** We’ll share the updated hours soon.
It’s been a challenging beginning, but there’s so much good ahead. Thank you for being part of this community. Let’s keep building something special together. 💚
