The Portside Cafe Bakery - Middleport

We have been following the bakery items on Facebook for a while now. Finally, my family and I visited the bakery yesterday and I have to say, the baked goods taste just as good as they look in the pictures. We were surprised to find out that this hidden gem is located so close to our home and we had no idea it existed. The owners are also some of the friendliest people we have met in a long time. When my son had an accident with his cupcake, the owner quickly fixed it for him. We are planning to sample the food this weekend. The menu is so extensive that even the pickiest eaters can find something to enjoy. I highly recommend giving this place a try.

Over the weekend, my family and I visited Middleport with the intention of trying out Alternative Grounds, however, we were disappointed to find that it was closed earlier than expected. Across the street, we discovered Portside, a cozy diner that was open for business. Intrigued, we decided to give it a shot and we were thrilled that we did! As a fan of small-town diners, I was delighted to find that Portside met all my expectations: reasonable prices, generous portions, friendly service, a diverse menu, delicious baked goods, and flavorful coffee, all in a charming and inviting atmosphere. One of the highlights was the Saturday special, a Large Pizza with Unlimited Toppings for just $13. We opted for a vegan-friendly version with no cheese and all the veggies, and the owners happily accommodated our request. The pizza was loaded with flavorful vegetables on top of a savory sauce and chewy crust - a real treat! We also indulged in some homemade baked goods, including a cannoli brownie cupcake and a peach unicorn cupcake, both of which were scrumptious. Portside offers a wide selection of sandwiches, salads, soups, breakfast items, and entrees, as well as more creative options like sloppy joes. The owners are welcoming and accommodating, making it a truly enjoyable dining experience. While they may not offer vegan or gluten-free options on the regular menu, they are willing to accommodate special requests if notified in advance. As a family-run establishment, their hours may vary, but they are typically open for lunch and dinner. We will definitely be returning to this hidden gem during our future visits to Orleans County - a new favorite spot for us! :-)

Their food is delicious and affordable, and their bakery is top-notch!

The prime rib melted in my mouth! We had a pumpkin cookie for an appetizer. Had to bring home one of their delicious cupcakes for later. Best food and service around!

Some of the best food around and to top it off you get service from some of the kindest people! My family eats here several times a week. Sam and Amy make it very enjoyable to sit down and eat!
