“A Must-Visit for Coffee Lovers and Cyclists Alike!Pastries: 2.5/5Vibe: 4.5/5Value for Money: 4.5/5I recently visited Sidekick, and it's safe to say that it's become my new go-to spot in town! The ambience is welcoming, with a vibe that makes you want to stay and soak it all in. It's no wonder this place is a favorite among locals and cyclists, bustling with energy in the mornings. Now, let's talk about the coffee - the "Theo Mocha" is a game-changer. It's easily my personal favorite, with a rich and robust flavor that sets the standard for what good coffee should be. Alongside my coffee, I indulged in a couple of pastries. The chocolate croissant was spot-on, delivering that perfect flaky and chocolatey goodness. However, the other puff pastry didn't quite hit the mark, but it was still enjoyable. What stands out about Sidekick is its ability to maintain a clean and inviting atmosphere despite the morning crowds. It's a testament to the dedication of the staff and the overall management of the cafe. In conclusion, Sidekick is more than just a coffee shop; it's a vibrant community hub that's worth checking out. Whether you're a cyclist looking for a pre-ride caffeine boost or simply someone who appreciates a great cup of coffee and a pleasant atmosphere, this is the place to be. I'm definitely recommending Sidekick to everyone around!“
“I was referred here by a co-worker, and he wasn't exaggerating when he said the food here is delicious! I came in for lunch, and I didn't have to wait or search for a table or anything, which was nice. The girls working the counter were friendly and in a good mood, happy to help me find what I needed and whatnot. The sandwich I ordered was a healthy sized Italian sub that I honestly can't recommend enough - it was flavorful and juicy and filling. I didn't get any bakery items but I'm told they're to die for. With tip and everything it was about $15 for lunch, and I'd much rather give it to this place than a franchise or chain...“
“Zouhair is hands down the best chef around. He is also an amazing employer. I worked for him years ago he gave me my first real job and every time I go back to visit I have to go to his restaurant, because there's nothing that compares to the food he prepares and his recipes are his secret! He even made my favorite tortellini as a graduation gift for me for my graduation party when I finished highschool. if you're looking for a good family owned restaurant with the best cuisine this is it. You can literally taste the heart and soul he puts into his food!“
“Ive tried a few drinks now and these are definitely my favorite. I love the Blonde Hawaiian. The big Coconut flakes are delicious and its a sweet drink but not overpoweringly sweet. The strong coffee taste nicely evens it out. The vanilla sweet cream cold brew has a generous amount of sweat cream and it's so damn good. The bees knees can be made as a tea or coffee. I had been told the bees knees coffee was a must try so we ordered one and wow wow wow. Delicious honey flavor in a rich coffee. Don't forget to sign up for their rewards program and get their app!“
“Always sad to think about Molbak's being closed, but the cafe still gives some feeling of the original garden house still being open. Drinks were well made, and done very speedily. Food was also pretty good. Atmosphere was great, if you ignore the rest of the store being completely deserted.I hope Molbaks comes back at some point in the future, but in the meanwhile, this is still a pretty good cafe.“
“Everything was incredible, the cinnamon rolls are amazing, the red bull drink was incredible (its hard to find big ones and they did a 32 oz!) and the service was amazing too! The owners are kind and genuine and you can taste the love in their food ❤️ Thank you for sharing your amazing food with us!“
“This is my favorite coffee place. No matter what time of day I come into the store there's almost always a barista who both knows me by name and knows my typical drinks. And when I'm thinking about trying something different they always have a recommendation ready based upon my likes and dislikes.Kat, Chloe, Rae, Maddie, and Quincy are all super top notch and they keep me coming back when I could just as easily pop down the road to the drive-thru a few blocks away. Their friendliness and drink making expertise have cultivated an atmosphere of community that embodies their company values and brings people together.Definitely check this place out if you're a local, but even if you're just passing through you'll be glad you did once you experience this group of baristas and their infectious friendliness.“
“This is my go-to coffee place for every Saturday and Sunday, and sometimes weekdays too ever since we moved to Bothell. The baristas here are excellent, love making custom coffee and very courteous. My favorite is Hazelnut + English Toffee Latte, extra extra hot and the baristas never disappoint me.“
“I tend to visit this stand(?) every time I go to the butcher next door. Girls working there are always friendly, and make good, consistent coffee.The blonde Hawaiian is very close to what I tend to get when in Hawaii, and the Dublin cream is q quite tasty. Hard to go wrong though.“
“I stop here 3-4 times a week because I have a problem?. I feel awful for not knowing anyone’s names, but every person I’ve worked with has been absolutely wonderful!They always have pleasant conversation with me and it’s the only stand that has good vibes and really good coffee! I’m super basic and get either a fruity lotus or a 12oz, triple shot, oat milk lavender latte with honey and cinnamon and they’re always so accommodating!“
“Older store with nice outside tables on sunny days. No drive-thru at this location, but free parking is behind the store. Tends to be busy with limited seating through much of the day. Has restrooms. The store is long and skinny, so not good for groups more than 3 or 4 people.“
“For someone who doesn't drink coffee, I love this place. It's definitely more of a dessert place for me to grab these extravagant coffee shakes. They taste very yummy but are super sweet so finishing one on your own might be a task. They are super creative with their flavors and have plenty of seasonal drinks. Haven't had their regular coffee yet so I'll be back for sure!“
“This dine in location is fabulous, but you know who specifically is freakin fantastic? Kieran. She’s the bomb and got me hooked on their lavender goodness, the Moonlight Saphire. When I want to try something new and let her know what I like and maybe not so into, she has never done me wrong. Whether it’s this location or Kirkland, love her smile and recommendations. She is amazing at explaining what’s new and what she’s serving if you have the fortunate pleasure of having her showcase your drink upon delivery. Thank you!!!“
