Sideyard Coffee

05/03/2026

We'll be at the Tomato Lady plant sale on May 16! Brewed coffee samples and bags of coffee for sale.

Last night's frost slowed things down a bit at the first Saturday of Tomato Lady Oak Park's vegetable sale, but everything was smooth upon opening. See a great selection, especially the tomatoes, but lots of other vegetables and herbs. Sale will be held the next 2 Saturdays this month.

Saturday the 16th features a super cool SEOP mini-market with Lyman Ave. Bread, Sideyard Coffee and Old Gaffer's Garden.

✌🏻Dispatches from Sideyard global HQ. 🌐 This week’s coffee is a Rwanda dry process. The cup starts on the wilder side with cooked fruit flavors that remind me of blueberry pie, followed by a dark and lingering cocoa note. If you like a little fruit in your coffee, we have a couple spare 12oz bags in stock on the site.

Rubber stamp appreciation post. We’ve stamped more than 8,000 bags with these SIDEYARD and dandelion stamps. Sadly, Lakeview Rubber Stamp closed up shop at some point in the past five years.
