Reviews of Sidecar Coffee Shop (Coffee Shop)

Nick Chill

My family got 3 different drinks, and we didn't like any of them (we like most coffee drinks). They were too sweet/had to much syrup, and they just didn't taste good. The shop is small, but flows well. There was one young gentleman working, and he was professional and welcoming, but the next customer had to wait until our 3 drinks were made before he could take his order.

Great coffee selection and reasonable prices. The only complain that I will make is that it caters to the young hipster crowd and it shows. Not a reason to take a star that is there customer base. I cam here from time to time during my undergraduate.

I stopped in to study. Coffee was good. Inside it was actually really hot for a winter day. Unique ambience, overall it is a good coffee shop.

Jacob Thompson

Fun place for a good quality cup of coffee, staff was friendly.

John Wiedenheft

Oh man, the coffee here is to die for! Came this last Saturday afternoon and got a normal dark roast. Perfect. Not bitter. Hasn't been sitting on a burner all day. Perfect. Two others in our party got lattes and those were also great, with great latte art as well! (no pics, sorry!) Not too much space, which is the only downside. On the afternoon we came, most seats were taken up with college students doing homework, which also means it was pretty quiet.

Great atmosphere and amazing coffee. Staff is friendly and willing to help you out if you don't know what something is.

Rob Green

Cozy, friendly and of course great coffee. A perfect spot for meeting or studying on College Hill.

Nate Ross

If I had a billion dollars, I would spend it all at Sidecar Coffee. I will never go to Starbucks again.

MB S.

Shuaib Meacham

Angie Asa-Lovstad

Winter Meil... delish!

Kyle Hansen

Wonderful coffee and a great atmosphere. Don't sleep on their beer selections either!

Sean Krall

If you’re looking for well made specialty coffee, look no further. The morning I went in, the baristas clearly knew what they were doing and made me a fantastic espresso and Ethiopia pour over.

Deborah Greymoon

Great coffee, lovely breakfast sandwich

Steve Burrell

Love the coffee

Rumy Kabir

Excellent service and as always great coffee. My favorite coffee is mocha latte and they make it best.

Kathleen Thorson

I stopped by here while on a trip to Iowa for a coffee to go, but the atmosphere really won me over! I had hands down one of the best latte's of my life here. Wish there were more locations!

Seeker of Truth

First time having this coffee. Hubby picked up a coffee for myself and him, and brought them home. Mine was suppose to be a mocha, his a hazelnut. Mine tasted weakly like butterscotch. Yuck, i hate butterscotch. I didn't get my mocha. Plus, they were both almost flavorless! Never again will we come to this place... :(

Greg Hanes

The coffee is excellent. I prefer the light roast, but their lattes are very good too. I especially like the Christopher Robin, which has lavender and honey. The quiche is also very good (both the bacon cheddar and spinach tomato muenster). I tried a breakfast croissant today, and I'm not a huge fan of the croissants they use. The building echoes quite a bit and the seating can be limited, so I wouldn't recommend going there to study if noise bothers you, but that being said, plenty of people seem to do it. I really like the music they play as well.

Will Symonds

Good coffee and a good atmosphere. Lots and lots of people.

Charles McFarlane

Best place to relax or study by the UNI campus. Great food, beer, and of course, coffee. Best coffee shop in Cedar Falls

Neal Price

None of the other coffee shops in town hold a candle to Sidecar Coffee. Close to campus and next level quality. There is a drink or snack for everyone in the family.

Tony Kraayenbrink

House made chai is really good. I'll be going back to Sidecar Coffee as often as I can.

Great coffee shop in CF! Good roasts and well-brewed. Friendly staff too!

Nick Rausch

Good coffee beer tea and some food selections

Emily Hanson

Great service and friendly atmosphere

Kevin McRae

Simply awesome coffee served by real college kids. No artificial anything including sentiment! They take making their locally roasted coffee seriously and it shows. Easily the best coffee in town and quite likely in this corner of the state. Try to find the Sidecar truck for equally awesome coffee and service!

Delicious coffee!

Nicole Valentine

I got the chai tea and it was quite mediocre compared to other chai lattes I have gotten before.

Ryan Kretschmer

The speciality drinks here, such as the Mexican mocha are real solid, but lots of the basics aren't worth the money. Things like the cappuccino or Americano are sub-par and overpriced. The chai is good, as well as most of the cold drinks. I've only had one of the pastries and it was very mediocre. The bagged coffee they sale have a good price, but it is good. Lastly, the aesthetic and location both do a lot of favors in the overall experience, it's a nice place to stop in or even stay for a date.

Jessica Philipp

Just tried the optimist! Delicious! Always prompt and courteous when I order from them!

Carolee DeSotel

Busy for a Thurs with good music. Great variety of drinks from specialty has to beer on tap!

Alex Tjelmeland

Not a coffee person but I've been a few times and enjoy the atmosphere and the hot chocolate each time

Jeff Niemann

Typical independent coffee shop, which is not a bad thing! Good crowd and nice atmosphere. Coffee is good too!

Sherry Kiskunas

Too noisy & loud

Dale Tibbetts

Best local roaster of the cedar valley( my opinion)

Tye Helton

Super cute coffee shop, lots of great treats.. My favorite trip to make with a good book on a Sunday morning!

Izzy Diamond

My favorite coffee place in town. Homemade caramel sauce

William Zak

Nice college vibe, but also get that college student motivation when being helped. Don't go in too early on Saturdays if you're interested in pastries.

Autumn D.

We stopped in the other day and my husband ordered a shot of espresso. The barista recommended doing sparkling water to clean his palate. The espresso was perfect and I had a lavender latte. Both were amazing. She spent the time to make sure I had a feather on my latte and it was so delicious. Favorite place for coffee. You might be a college student but you are an artist with coffee whoever our barista was...and you were very sweet!

Alyssa Nolte

Best coffee in town! Unique options, I recommend the Van Fleet.

Scott Behrends

Best coffee shop in the area by far!!

Timothy Dodd

Best coffee/espresso in town, possibly in the state of Iowa, and even yet, in the midwest. They roast their own beans right in town. Artwork on the wall is SPOT ON (ahem), always friendly baristas. Kevin is the best/nicest/best looking. The owner, Andy, is also a top notch guy.

Royce Lenth

Place of peace

Samuel Dagit

Darthkoo

Best coffee shop in Cedar Falls!

Emily Brockelsby

They are almost always getting my order wrong. I ask for soy milk because I can't drink normal milk and I always get sick after going here.

Jonathan Taiber

Great locally owned cafe and huge supporter of community events. Coffee and service are my fav.

xoxo jeslynrose

Delicious coffee. Warm and cozy environment.

Chris Raab

Noice

Lynn Bauer

A little crowded, I like the one on Ridgeway better, but the service was good and so we're the drinks.

Annie Groesbeck

This place has the best iced lattes.

Melanie Hayes

My favorite coffee and breakfast sandwiches!

Ed Gruenwald

There are a few good places to get coffee in our area but this is hands down the best. This place puts a ridiculous amount of thought into coffee and it shows.

Ben Buysse

The blueberry green tea is OUT OF THIS WORLD. Coffee is quality and has many of your standard drinks, plus some unique concoctions. They have many pastries, all locally made. Quiche, danishes, croissants, muffins, etc WiFi is great. Seating and plugins can be hard to come by during the college school year as it is a popular place to study and gather for conversation. Parking can be found out back as well as out front, though the streetside parking is often hard to come buy and isn't free as opposed to the lot in the rear.

Daryl Veatch

Aaaah great coffee and staff and locally owned.

Double S

I love this place. I always make it a point to stop here when I am in town. Their coffee is delicious. Skip Starbucks and go to sidecar , you won't be disappointed. They also have yummy pastries and breakfast sandwiches!

Ron Morlan

Great place run by great people. Everything is high quality and worth it!

Jim F

Favorite coffee in the Cedar Valley.

Joe Kuebler

Nice.

Colleen Matos

Best coffee on college hill! A laid back and comfortable atmosphere. Their weekly and monthly specials are always delicious. The staff is great. Perfect place to do homework, catch up with friends, go on a date, or just hang out.

Glenna Whiteman

Tastes great and fast!

Austin Fink

Great health-concious food & beverages!

Annie Bigler

it's a great place to go

Joshua Przybyszewski

Nice little coffee shop; ideal for the college student. I would have liked to see more wall art, but the atmosphere feels appropriate for studying or meeting up with an old friend.

Jon Post

Great coffee and friendly atmosphere. Always have a new interesting drink to try. The Chrsitoher Robin is my favorite. Also great breakfast sandwiches.

Rin chan

Great place to study!

Joel Heilman

Kinda pricy, but good.

Ryan Mulligan

I drive my wife an hour and a half just so she can get espresso.

Logan Vander Wiel

Awesome coffee, great atmosphere. During big rushes the wait can get pretty long but the product is high quality so it's worth the wait.

Jen Corrigan

Definitely one of my favorite local coffee shops. They always serve the coffee strong, and the flavor is so unique, almost with a tang to it. The food can be a bit pricey depending on what you get, but the quiche and a lot of the pastries are fabulous. It's often crowded and loud at this location, so it's not always comfortable to stay there for long. They often do community events and lit readings, and they support local artists by hanging their for-sale art on the walls. The baristas, with the exception of one in particular, have always been friendly, prompt, and professional. A really great coffee shop and much better than Starbucks or Caribou, even though it might cost a little more.

Tracy Freese

Quaint, cozy, and highly caffinated... Just the way I like it!

Khrystyana Kirton

The baristas are always friendly & the coffee is always good. Sometimes they have drink specials that are unique and a palate adventure. I highly recommend the Van Fleet with a orange-cranberry scone! There's also a ($2) cappuccino Happy Hour from 3-4p

Eric Kinman

Best espresso north of DSM

Cindy Whiteman

Super impressed with this great little shop. I had a Honey Latte, and the only bad thing about it is that is so far away from me where I live. I just wanted more! The flavor was rich, natural, and super comforting. My husband had an Americano, and it was also very good. If we are ever back in the area we will definitely be stopping again.

Regina Parenteau

Amazing place to have your coffee. Love it.

Jotham Polashek

Great coffee, great atmosphere, friendly service, and they have some pretty great live shows. A frequent walk from my dorm.

Jessica Riebkes

Frank Sinatra. Order it.

Drake Tesdall

Great place! Good coffee and friendly staff.

Jennifer Jacobson

I love your coffee and would make the extra trip off of my commute to come get coffee but I always call in my order to save time, and your phone for not go through to a person anymore. I Can't stop anymore because it just takes too long.can you get your phone back up and running?
