My favorite spot for lattes and a midafternoon snack. Their quiche is absolutely the best. I actually saw them making it at their Waterloo location. They make everything from scratch using locally grown produce.

Usually Sidecar is one of the best coffee shops located in Cedar Falls in my opinion but this time it was absolutely terrible!!!!I usually LOVE their matcha lattes but today's matcha was awful. Their matcha is usually a pretty light shade of green but today it has the tiniest bit of matcha powder, to the point that it only tasted like straight up milk. My friend ordered a vanilla chai latte, and was given a vanilla latte, which is an honest mistake and they offered to change it but we decided it was best to just leave and try somewhere else. My friend does not like espresso. but I tried their latte and again, it was straight milk with a little bit of extremely bitter espresso added in. I don't know if they were training someone but the wait was longer than usual and the drinks were not good at all. The atmosphere was fine, its a super cute and nice little coffee shop, and I try to support local coffee shops over going to a chain like Starbucks or Scooters, but today we ended up throwing our drinks away and driving 20 minutes to a Starbucks in Waterloo.

I like this place. It has good coffee and good scones and cinnamon rolls. It's quiet and you get privacy to hold conversations with friends.Parking: Several. It depends on the hour of the day you go.

I was a customer at Sidecar Coffee Shop a bit over 2 months ago when I was taking a 3-day vacation there. I was a dine-in customer and needed to get some work done. My coffee tasted great and the atmosphere was so relaxing that I got completely absorbed in my work and I'm still recalling what a great experience I had. They made my work projection my laptop way less strenuous just because of the incredible ambience and a great brew.

Sidecar Coffee is just the loveliest place. The staff are all absolutely wonderful. I met Andy and he is easily the most down-to-Earth business owner I've ever met. Definitely drop in and get a drink. The Christopher Robin is incredible cold OR hot, which I learned today.Golly, easy 5 stars. Deserves a shiny medal too.

Came in for the very first time ever with my husband on June 11th. We walked up to the counter to look at your menu. The girl behind the counter said "hi". I told her we needed a second because we had never been there before. She told us that the store was actually closing in 5 minutes. I had not realized that it was close to closing. We might not have gone in. But, it being our first experience we decided it would be our last. No one wants to stay late at a job, I understand that. But, what a very uncomfortable first experience. I am not allowed to stop working 5 minutes before my shift ends.

Loved the Van Gogh.Don't be afraid of citrus in your coffee!The baristas are always friendly, and the revolving art installations are a lot of fun.

The menu is simple, the service was quick and the coffee was good. That's more than I can for alot of the other coffee shops around that try WAY to hard to make coffee sometime it's not. Coffee doesn't need help being loved, it's coffee!!

Been going here off and on for about 3 years- all experiences in the first year and a half were amazing. Now the quality is inconsistent- sometimes my drinks are right and sometimes they are not. I’m not sure if the order is filled wrong or if they are being made inconsistently. Sad to see my favorite local coffee shop go down hill. My advise would be make sure all staff knows how to consistently recreate all drinks.

First time and last time customer, ordered iced white chocolate mocha, coffee was quite bitter. No "white chocolate mocha" flavor to the drink whatsoever, taste was more like black coffee with slight hint of chocolate syrup. Had to try to doctor it when I got home, ended up paying 7 bucks to dump it down the drain.

This coffee shop is an awesome addition to town. In addition to incredible coffee drinks, the kombucha and bakery selection help this be a complete morning stop.
