The most perfectly curated bite with caviar. We will be dreaming about it for days!

One of the best choux pastry desserts I have ever had. Strawberry Shortcake Tart- delicious Danish Cardamom Bun- Just ok. We could not really taste the cardamom and it is not at all like the ones you get in Scandinavia Beef Khachapouri- we warmed this in the oven and a massive amount of grease came out. Way too greasy. So we would not get the bun or the khachapouri again. But the choux and tart were delicious. And I'd be very interested in trying other items. This is a very pricey bakery, but nice for an occasional treat.

I stopped by on a Saturday morning, and it was quite busy. Parking was easy nearby. I opted to…read moreorder from their walk-up window instead of going inside. They had a large selection of baked goods and pastries. Their cinnamon roll seemed popular, as it was already sold out. I ordered the chocolate chip cookie, banana bread, and carrot cake. The chocolate chip cookie was excellent. It had a nice texture with the right amount of chocolate and salt on top. The banana bread was good, but it was a bit dry for my preference. The carrot cake was tasty with just the right amount of frosting.

Sidekick compares favorably with my top tier of coffee shops in the broader area, including Bequest…read morein Mill Creek, 5 Stones in Kirkland, and Diva Espresso in Kenmore. It does the three things I care about most in a coffee shop well: good coffee, a space you actually want to spend time in, and consistently good service. Food & Drink: The coffee is legitimately good--not great, but good. They pull a good espresso shot and are solid across the espresso drinks. "The Local" is my go-to--a latte lightly sweetened with maple syrup from Woodinville Whiskey. It adds enough sweetness to be interesting without overwhelming the coffee. They also have a good selection of milk options and some seasonal/unusual rotating items (Blueberry Pancake Cold Brew happened to be on the menu recently). They don't, however, have a wide variety of straight black coffee options. Both the quality and variety of the pastries are high, with a few gluten-free options as well. I particularly like the savory scones. They also carry some useful non-pastry items like yogurt, hard-boiled eggs, and string cheese. Pricing leans moderate to high, although that's pretty traditional for Woodinville. Ambiance & Service: This may be where Sidekick separates itself most. Lots of windows and natural light, plenty of room, and a good variety of seating with sofas, chairs, high tops, and tables. There is also substantial outdoor seating during the summer. It's a welcoming area. There is even a "walk-up" outdoor window for ordering. Noise level is moderate. You can comfortably work here, although I wouldn't try to take a call. Outlets are available along the exterior wall seating. Service has consistently been very good. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and does a good job with the drinks. It feels like a place that is well run rather than simply a nice space with good coffee. The biggest weakness is parking. There is street parking and some garage parking, but parking is problematic in general. Construction throughout 2025 and 2026 has made an already challenging situation noticeably worse. Final Thoughts: Four stars. Sidekick is my favorite coffee shop in Bothell/Woodinville and firmly in my top tier for the broader area. The combination of good espresso, high-quality pastries, very good service, and one of the better coffee shop spaces around makes it an easy place to want to return to, even if the parking makes it difficult. -AC

Another delicious meal at The Cottage. Wait staff were…read morefriendly and attentive. The drinks were very well made. My wife had a vodka and tonic, and I had the passionfruit margarita We chose the peach flatbread as an appetizer and it was delicious! For our meal, I had the short ribs which were fall off the bone, tender, and perfectly braised. My wife had the chicken Cordon Bleu The piece of chicken was large and so very tender and delicious as well. We swapped a taste of each.

However, yesterday on 6/28 when the wait was too long so I decided to choose takeout, it was the worst service I've ever experienced. I walked inside, placed the takeout order, and was told it would be ready in about 15 minutes. I went outside to the bench to wait to realize the server didn't take my name for the order. After about 20 minutes had passed, I walked back inside to look for someone. I saw another server walk over when I was lost and waiting and she ended up helping another group who walked in after me, so I was ignored. Then I initiated the conversation and asked about my order and she said "Oh please wait outside and we will come out to give you your order when it's ready." I glanced over and noticed someone bagging takeout orders, so I walked back outside. Another 25 minutes passed and no one has come out to deliver my takeout order. It was about 45 minutes since I placed the order and I was not happy. I walked back inside and asked the server behind the counter. Mind you this is the 3rd server. They asked what I ordered (since my name was not taken down when the order was placed, it made it unorganized) and one of the two takeout bags that was sitting on the counter for a good 20 minutes I noticed it was my order. When I got home, the burger buns were all soggy and the fries were soft and not crispy anymore. This is such an unfortunate situation because I've always shared positive comments about The Cottage, but with the experience I had yesterday, I will be rethinking to come back.

I've been a few times and went again recently. The staff members are friendly and it was busy the last time I went. I like the parking lot, location and indoor/outdoor seating. I had a latte and an orange scone. The latte was good. The flavor of the scone was nice with the hint of orange being just right. There were some interesting items in the case with a variety of options and plenty to choose from too. There are so many options driving further south off of 405 but if in Bothell this local Place certainly is an easy place to hit up!

It was pretty easy to make a cake order and the writing was free, unlike online where it says $5 for writing. When I got the cake, I was a bit disappointed. The writing had bled onto the cake, there was a crack in the frosting and it appeared that the frosting at the bottom leaned piped to the board instead of the cake. I didn't bother mentioning this at pick up because it didn't seem like the worker was also the cake person. The cake itself was a tad dry but light and airy. For the price I paid, I was disappointed by the outcome. Even if it was due to additional cake orders due to mother's day, I do expect better than this when I buy a cake from a local bakery. Also if you like crispy croissants, I do not recommend the Sichuan pepper cruffin. It was tasty but it didn't have the crisp that you'd expect from a bakery.
