A cute little coffee shop and bakery right next to a restaurant called Ted's Bulletin. It might even be a part of the restaurant (not completely sure, though), because you can go between the two places from the inside. Anyway, I had a chai tea latte, which was great. The staff were friendly as well. Nice little spot overall for a quick drink or pastry.

I ordered a hot tea and a sidekick mini breakfast sandwich for pick up. I got the text saying the food was ready for pickup, and about 5 mins later I arrived to pickup. The worker at the front was caught off guard and asked "just a tea, right?" So I had to pull up my order so he could see what I paid for. Neither the sandwich nor the tea were ready even though I had gotten a text a few minutes early that it was all ready? Anyway, I waited about 5 more minutes, and was served the hot water with its tea bag and the sandwich, which was somehow completely cold when I bit into it 15 seconds after receiving it ? Usually I like Sidekick for a quick and easy tea and breakfast, but was a bit disappointed today.

Chai tea latte is really good and well balanced. My friend compared it to a horchata, so it's definitely a sweet treat! 12 oz for a small and 16oz for a large. Lots of yummy baked goods including a crispy and buttery croissant. Cookies are pretty standard. Overall, a very nice bakery. The inKind offer did not work for me and it seems that many people do not get to use the offer. From the other reviews, it seems that it is a problem that hasn't been fixed for a long time.

This Sidekick Bakery makes the BEST drinks....My "go to" drink order here is a, 16oz, dirty chai tea latte with sugar free vanilla, oat milk and kids temp...try it! Won't be disappointed. And of course, their pastries are baked fresh and to perfection every time.

This place is a bakery with a twist. They do prepare traditional baked goods however it seems the majority of their featured baked good are novelty recipes. On this occasion I ordered the Strawberry Shortcake Snowdays and was disappointed by it. In essence what I thought I was ordering was soft served ice cream with some semblance of strawberry shortcake pieces or slices mixed into it however what I received was a cup of soft served ice cream with a baked tart inserted in it. A strawberry Ted's Tart to be exact. It wasn't a bad treat as much as it was a disappointment in that it wasn't even close to a strawberry shortcake ice cream in flavor or texture. In fact it was quite literally soft served ice cream in a cup with a pop tart and some strawberry topping. If I'm in the area I will certainly stop by again however I will try other menu items. Give them a try.

Checked out Sidekick because I was craving a pastry. I tried their seasonal danish and had a iced vanilla latte. The danish was blueberry flavored and was very good and my coffee was solid. The service was super friendly and I got my order very fast. I took my order to go but they had a nice patio seating area.The prices of their baked goods were very reasonable and all looked delicious. I will definitely back when I'm craving a pastry!

Sidekick bakery is a small bakery section inside of Ted's Bulletin. You can enter directly from outside or once inside of Ted's. I have not had anything that has disappointed me from here. Their stuffed croissants are incredible. One of my favorite breakfast items in Ballston is the egg and cheddar croissant. The muffins, cookies, brownies, cakes are all divine. I love that this place is open late, a lot of bakeries close very early and this place is always reliable to have that after dinner baked good. Service is always fast and everyone behind the counter has only ever been kind.100% reccomend getting the croissants and the babka muffin is now a new favorite!

Popped in for some pop tarts! Too sweet for my liking and the proportion of crust to filling was off. But they were a fun and different treat, and we 100% enjoyed a mini celebration cake! I'd go back for that every time.

Super cute cafe! I didn't realize it was inside of the Ted's Bulletin. The Cinnamon Toast Crunch latte was delicious with pieces of the actual cereal in it. The sidekicks were good as well, 2 is a great breakfast but they need some sort of sauce!! Like an aioli or mayo idk. Cashier was nice!

Sidekick Bakery is located inside of Ted's Bulletin in Ballston. They serve hot and iced beverages, frozen treats (including snowdays and soft serve filled croissants), sweets including cakes, cinnamon toast crunch banana bread, cookies, croissants, danishes, millionaire bar, muffins, sk cosmic brownie, Ted's tarts, and savory items including slider breakfast sandwiches, croissant sandwiches, and toasts. I was sad they were sold out of Apple Danish. I enjoyed a Cherry Blossom and White Chocolate Cookie. I plan to return to try their other items.
