"Walking into the Side Door feels like stepping into a European cafe that’s also a wine bar and shop with a selection of more than 300 bottles. It’s located at The Village at Mammoth and serves up paninis, fondue, and tapas, although we’re quite partial to the dessert crepes with options like s’mores, which is stuffed with chocolate ganache, marshmallows, and graham crackers. Choose from a long wine and beer list, or try one of Side Door’s cocktails, like the High West Rattlesnake, a blend of double rye whiskey and Little Green Monster, a 120-proof absinthe from the nearby Shelter Distilling. The cozy outdoor patio is heated and our favorite spot to take in all of the Village action. An added bonus: it’s dog-friendly." - Danielle Bauter

A Hidden Gem in Mammoth Village! Side Door is the best-kept secret in Mammoth! Tucked away in the village, this cozy spot delivers in every way—from food to vibes. Their crepes are absolutely delicious, with a gluten-free batter that’s light, flavorful, and perfect for sweet or savory cravings. Don’t skip the breakfast potatoes—they’re crispy, buttery perfection, easily some of the best I’ve had anywhere. The espresso is rich and bold, and their award-winning Bloody Mary? Totally lives up to the hype. Whether you’re coming in for a slow breakfast, a chill lunch, or a cozy dinner with friends, Side Door hits the mark every time. Can’t wait to come back!

I really wanted to like this place. It’s well located in the main village square and it has a good selection of classic crepes but when I went in this afternoon with my husband and baby, blocking the small entrance with my stroller and desperately looking for someone to asist me, I was met with shear indifference from the 5 staff present, none of whom cared about my presence enough to ask me if I need a table or anything at all for that matter. We left disappointed after a few minutes of waiting.

We went in for wine and dinner however the place was totally empty. The staff were eating their meal when we walked in and it looked like we disturbed them. I asked them what was on the happy hour menu and she didn’t know if they had a happy hour and told me it ended at 5. I told her it ended at 6 and she had no idea of what was on the menu and said the tapas and a cocktails might be 10% off. Well we ended up leaving a bit disappointed however if you look at other reviews I think we made the best decision.

We ordered some delicious dessert crepes from Side Door Wine Bar and Cafe! We got the s’mores crepe and the Cinnamon Roll crepe and they were soo tasty! They also have yummy savory crepes as well as other fabulous food to eat. They also have a full bar wine bar as well as a fully stocked bar for cocktails.

A dark, empty, and depressing place. The employees were sitting in the back playing on their phones. My order was taken by a young lady who looked like she'd just woken up from a nap, and the cook seemed annoyed that he had to get up from his chair. I couldn't eat my sandwich because the meat tasted so bad. It was completely overcooked, dry, and salty. A horrible experience.

After a long wonderful sunny day enjoying the mountain I came to visit side door. The staff was nice, they didn't have Cash singles to provide my change but it's ok. The Philly steak sandwich was decent, a bit too salty. I will not order that again. It's convenient next to the village gondola. Happy hour is very limited: $1 off drinks and appetizers from 3-6pm

Amazing local spot. Service at the bar is super friendly. Dog friendly, which is a huge plus. Albondigas meatballs are a must, easily the best thing on the menu. Perfect place to chill and decompress after a day on the runs.
