Sidewinder Coffee

Delicious drinks and helpful staff. They had plenty of space inside and outside to sit. I was there for over an hour drinking coffee and reading my book.

A great little coffee shop in the heart of Northside. Warm and cozy, great selection of coffee and some pastries/cookies. Friendly staff too.

Rich coffee with great flavors and nice seating in the back! The decor is a bit drab for socializing but great to focus and get work done. The honey cardamom latte was not too sweet but had a nice flavor and creaminess

My nephew invited me to join him for coffee at Sidewinder Coffee. This was an establishment that I had never heard of before. Now that I have been there I highly recommend it for quick meetings. The atmosphere is comfortable, well lit, and they play music. (Jazz at first and then metal. I asked if they could return to jazz and thankfully, they did.) The coffee was delicious, hot, and could be flavored with various additives and creamers. If you are in Northside and want to enjoy coffee and conversation, the Sidewinder is just the place!

Northside's gem for coffee. Dog friendly in the lobby, tons of choices, AND happy hour (Yes! Make that coffee boozy, baby!). They have food options and will heat up a breakfast burrito just for you. Glad to have this joint in walking distance!

I have such a soft spot for Sidewinder and I'm not entirely clear why. Or why I've never reviewed them. It's a lovely little spot, lots of choices of tea and coffee. And seasonal teas! They almost always have gluten and dairy free snack options which is a great source of delight for me. Recently I had a piece of gluten and dairy free cheese cake that was basically heaven. And the folks who work there are always really personable.I love the rotating art, the people who go there are interesting and the location is really convenient. Parking is easy. Street and lot parking are very readily available. If I was a frequent coffee shop visitor, this would be high on my list of coffee shops in heavy rotation.

I've been going to this coffee shop regularly for almost 5 years now and loved and appreciated its convenience and proximity to my home. Sometimes have gone twice a day. Take all out of towners and friends here when we are in the neighborhood. I am so Sad to say that in the last year (maybe a little less) I have experienced the grumpiest barista in America. Every time I frequent and this barista is working we are met with a flat "what do you want" and a glance at the area where we are meant to pay. I don't know this person so it can't possibly be personal. It always seems like I killed their dog or said something to offend them. Unfortunately I don't like to start my day (or anytime of the day) with negativity like this. Will be taking my business to friendlier neighborhood coffee shops where I'm met with at least a minuscule of kindness.I've never left a bad review and especially hate to do it to a small business...but this has been happening too often. Coffee is great at this spot, other baristas are top notch and maybe the best in the city. Unfortunately I can no longer go here. Three stars for the staff that knows their regulars and are pleasant.

Good drinks, pretty strong though! Coffee itself is good. Employees were not very kind but that's kinda par for the course, and I don't mind. Ambiance is okay, the courtyard is nice if it's not ten thousand degrees, but the back sitting area is very boring looking and very echo-ey.

Awesome little neighborhood place Soups, fresh baked goods. Great staff. Jammin tunes. What else could you want?

Up until 6 months ago, this was by far one of my favorite local coffee shops. Not quite sure what happened, but nine times out of ten anymore I'm sorely disappointed with my drink. I've tried different beverages, thinking maybe it's just one or two that the baristas suck at making. Alas, it doesn't seem there's any drink that the current baristas can make consistently good. The espresso either tastes burnt or... nonexistent. Not to mention the somber employees that can't even muster a smile or ounce of kindness to the customers. Sorry to say, this 7 year regular won't be going back. I'm tired of donating my money for a drink that has to be doctored once I get home.
