There is no separate way to review for sidebar coffee, so this is for sidebar COFFEE! The little hole in the wall has earned my trust in downtown leesburg. I was just looking for some good coffee one morning when I saw a little hole in the wall and realized it's a little coffee shop! I've gotten an iced coffee there, and a matcha the next two times. Both are great. The baristas are all really nice and will very likely be able to make you something if you wanna tweak an item on the menu a bit. And, most importantly, their matcha is the real deal. It's not the bitter and awful cheap stuff that most cafes will sell to you for the same price. This is the good stuff, and you can tell they make any syrup they add to it in house. It's so refreshing. If you love coffee, and especially matcha, this place is it! read more

Literally the worst service we have ever had. We had family in town and had never been here before. We were seated in the closed off dining area, to the right of the hostess desk. It took 10 mins for anyone to come see us. I had to get up to ask for someone to get our orders. To boot, the person who was supposed to assist us, was in the back hall by the restrooms texting and hanging out. I assume no one told her that we were there. The cider I ordered was warm, so I had to ask for a cup of ice at the bar. My husband's burger was meant to be medium well and it was raw. Lastly, it's extremely loud in that room. The chairs are metal, and when drug against the flooring, they make an awful sound! They really need a form of rubber on the legs. Very hard for grandma, who has hearing aids. Poor thing was so uncomfortable. The room next to us, with a door leading to the window to the kitchen, was so incredibly annoying. They were pounding the entire time we were seated, and it was LOUD! We all just sat completely silent. This was an incredibly disappointing visit and we will not come back. read more

SideBar Coffee is a little hole in the wall where you can order your beverage of choice through the window.  Even if it isn't on the menu, they might be able to make it for you as they did when we asked for a mocha that would be half hot chocolate and half coffee.  The staff was very helpful and friendly.  And when our cup was somehow deformed and the lid wouldn't stay on, they very quickly replaced it with another one.  For some reason, the second lid didn't seem to fit either, but, once we realized where the spilling was coming from, we just took off the lid and enjoyed our drink. Hopefully next time the lid will fit correctly and then our cup would spilleth over in a happier way ... read more

Solid cocktails and food! Had a great time chatting with a friend over lunch at this cute, casual restaurant. I believe my cocktail was called the Junction, which was delicious. My friend's first cocktail, a similar drink, was also great. She also ordered an Old Fashioned that was just okay - but the specialty cocktails stood out. We both got the burger. Simple but well executed. Cooked perfectly. Menu was extensive with plenty of options for everyone. Service was friendly and fairly fast. Would definitely try again! read more

We checked out this bar on a Friday night and it was packed. We ended up going upstairs to NightShift and it was a little easier to find a spot to sit, so we ended up getting drinks up there. The bartenders were incredibly nice and helped us all pick drinks to try. The establishment overall was very particular about the space and what drinks were consumed where. We mainly wanted to just grab a drink and find a place to sit or stand, but were told drinks from upstairs and downstairs had to be consumed in their respective areas. The cocktails were solid and we would definitely be back. read more

The food was delicious. I had shrimp tacos with sweet potato fries. The drinks were tasty and they have happy hour 7 days a week which I love! The service was a bit slow but hospitable. The floor was broken directly under my chair which was a bit of a challenge. Super cute vibe and definitely a great place to grab a bite read more

Me, my sister and our best friend went to side bar 7 years ago and we have never stopped thinking about it since. It was the best food, drinks, and vibes of any brunch place we have ever been to. We are brunch GIRLIES and we will never stop comparing every brunch place across the world to side bar. Every year in our group chat we send the memories of our time at side bar 7 years ago, BECAUSE IT IS THAT SERIOUS TO US! we all live in different states and nowhere near side bar but we hope and pray constantly that we will be able to go back one day, together. read more

I hate writing this review because I don't want you here. Night Shift is the coolest little speakeasy bar ever. Hard to find but well worth it. Tell them what you want and they will build it, and it will be great. Quiet place with nooks and crannies to hang out in. Music is fine, atmosphere is ultra cool. Can this be my private place?! read more

They get a four because of their cinnamon rolls which are flaky and very layered like a croissant with cinnamon sugar, sticky, sweet goodness. It is thick and doughy in the middle and this location is very well known for their cinnamon rolls. I can definitely see my boyfriend coming in here just for that. Their brunch is OK but nothing necessarily to write home about. It makes for a very good brunch place after a night out of drinking, but the Hangover is very heavy and oily and greasy. The biscuits and gravy were also good, but not necessarily outstanding. Pretty good mimosas though! read more

We came here with some friends for their happy hour. It was fantastic! Good prices on beverages and lots of small plates available. The service was excellent giving that it was an off time for them. It was a wonderful place to catch up with our friends and one of the better happy hour options available in Leesburg read more

This place is muggy asf and has mildew-genuinely gonna go to urgent care after this place, they said this shit was cheese and crackers and spilling our drinks and taking long asf to give us our drinks. The bartenders are shit and talking about customers and pointing at people laughing. Rude ass staff. Ruined the experience. read more

Great food, cozy vibes, and lovely staff! Sidebar is one of my favorite spots -- I've been there several times, and every visit has been a great experience. The appetizers and main dishes are always delicious, and the cozy, beautifully designed atmosphere makes it a great place to enjoy a meal. The staff are friendly, polite, and all professional, which adds to the overall positive experience. One thing to keep in mind: make sure to ask for the appetizer to be served before the main course. In my experience, they sometimes bring everything out at once -- even though it's called an appetizer for a reason! Highly recommend this place -- definitely worth visiting. read more

Love the stop by coffee window! Great lavender latter and cold foam too! Highly suggest stopping by!

Came here tonight with a party of 8. Despite no reservation we were able to be seated quickly. We opted to sit inside due to the summer heat. However, I do not believe there was AC on inside and there was a decent amount of bugs (wasps and flies) Our sever Shea was great and attentive. She also did not rush us. The food and drinks were excellent. Love sidebar ! read more

yall idek how to make sure ppl take this review srsly bc anyone who knows me knows i'm the least serious person but this place will genuinely make your world CHANGE. your world view? ALTERED. if i had 200 dollars i would spend 190 of them at this place. where would the other ten go you ask? GAS TO DRIVE THERE BC THE ECONOMY IS TERRIBLE. highly reccomend any of there match items and their lattes. the ambience is so welcoming and they cater to every need and request no matter how ridiculous i actually love it so much. i would spend thirty bucks on one latte if it came from there (not their price point, they are much cheaper, but y get the point), KEEP DOING WHAT YOU ARE DOING read more

If this place was the last kitchen standing in Leesburg, I'd consider it for a drink but only because I was very very very thirsty. The Side Bar has the location and the "vibes," but the food and service are average at most. Don't go expecting a "culinary experience" unless you fancy disappointment. I am a truth teller. I would not steer you wrong. read more

Went for Sunday brunch. Everything was delicious! It's located in downtown Leesburg close to the parking garage which is free on the weekends. It's a fairly small restaurant but we had no problem getting a table for 6 people around noon on a Sunday. The brunch cocktails were great and the bloody Mary's are really good! We ordered a cinnamon roll for the table - everyone really liked it. Would definitely go back! read more

Sat out back in the summer. Lucky to snag a table in the shade. Very relaxing spot for a drink and lunch. Calm, pretty, nice mix of couples, families and large group. Lovely spot. read more

Still a great place to grab a great afternoon lunch, the Cali chicken sandwich was flavorful and not dry! The bread was also a great option, not too soft and not too hard and held the sandwich together! The service was speedy which I enjoyed a bit read more

This has been our go to place in Downtown Leesburg over the years. They now have several restaurants tied to the establishment. The food is the main reason we keep coming back, value and quality. However, I am rating this a 4/5 since over the past year, it does seem like the quality is going down. For example, we ordered their famous Sidebar fries and they came out greasy and limp. We noticed the oil even was soaked up by the garlic and topping. Normally, these would come out crisp and the topping wasn't oil soaked. We will still give it a try since I suspect the multiple restaurants may be putting a strain on things. If you are looking for a restaurant with friendly staff and in Downtown Leesburg, I'd give this one a try! read more

We enjoyed brunch at Sidebar! Cool vibe inside and a cute outdoor space that's dog friendly. Friendly staff as well. We ordered the Hangover skillet and crabcake Benedict and both were tasty. Solid spot overall! read more

I stumbled across SideBar Coffee this morning - - it's a tiny little coffee shop on South King Street in Old Town Leesburg, VA. I ordered a cold brew with a splash of Half n' Half. A lot of places will make a cold brew that is strong but does not taste great - or they'll make one that tastes great - but is not very strong. SideBar nails it on both counts - their cold brew is strong - gets the ole neurons firing; and it tastes great! It's a small place - a very limited amount of seating inside (no seating outside). The building is very old - lots of old, exposed brick gives the place a nice ambiance. Service was good. They do not currently accept Apple Pay. When I inquired as to why they do not support it - I was told their POS is to old. It's time for an upgrade! #SideBarCoffee read more

I stopped by just for coffee on a rainy afternoon and it was a nice little pick me up. The space is tiny especially compared to the restaurant next door, so it's more conducive to grab and go rather than to sit inside. Service was very fast and friendly, and the barista was kind enough to hold my order while I used the restroom. I got the cold brew and it was strong and flavorful. They offered a variety of flavors, alternative milks, and sweeteners to customize your drinks. I would stop by here again and maybe try a pastry next time. read more

Holy moley. This might be the best latte I've ever had in my life. I actually couldn't believe it. I kept saying to my friend, "is it just me, or is this amazing?" He agreed! I got the oat milk latte with caramel. I couldn't place whether the caramel syrup was what impressed me so much (I believe all the syrups are housemade) or if it was just really really good coffee. My friend, who I was with, knows coffee pretty well and mentioned that their coffee machine is super fancy and nice. Maybe it was a combination of everything - the beans, the brewing, and the syrup. Either way, holy cow. I couldn't believe how amazing it was. I would definitely return next time I'm in the area. The back patio area looks cozy and the food didn't look half bad either. read more

We started with the guacamole and Spinach & artichoke dip and both were great. The chips were super salty, which I loved. Service was not the best. Took about 20 mins for someone to come take our order but the food was fantastic. The shrimp tacos were some of the better I've had. Great bar area and cute patio. read more

Brunch on a gorgeous day and we got to sit outside. We got a good table, but most people were overlooking a dirt parking lot. I think my favorite part was the high-school and college-aged servers. Service was not perfect, but they were hard working and polite. We received our drinks after our food arrived. Water and Bloody Mary and iced tea were not cold and needed ice. My omelette arrived without the pickled onions I ordered. One salad showed up drowning in sweet dressing and dried cranberries. The burger was fine. Everything was overpriced. In all, it's pretty standard, mostly fried food. Three stars. I wouldn't rush out of my way to go here - very mediocre and overpriced. read more

Love this place! Their brunch, bar and cocktail bar is always consistent and a go to casual place.

Honestly, this restaurant has definitely gotten better compared to the last time I was here. The service was average, the food took about 15-20 mins on a not so busy day, and there were plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. My bf and I both agreed they don't season their food lmao. I got the omelet with onions, mushrooms, and bell peppers. The omelet came with potatoes. The cinnamon roll is really delicious and is literally his top 3. My bf got the brunch burger and we both agreed he could've made it better. They didn't even season the beef. Overall, I'll be back. Although they don't season their food well lol! They do have salt and pepper. read more

Good food in the historic downtown Leesburg! Quaint settings nice outside dining area. Will be back'

Stopped in SideBar on the 4th of July. We were in the area and I was looking for something to eat. The moment I saw the French toast in my search I knew this is where I wanted to go. My wife and I stopped by and I was told they only have the French Toast on the weekend. What a bummer. It was fairly empty so we were seated quickly. My wife ordered the crab cake and I ordered the chicken sandwhich. The food came quickly which was a plus. The crab cake sandwich comes with a slight kick to it. I thought it was good however my wife thought it was a little spicy. The chicken sandwhich was DELICIOUS! I wish it were bigger. 4/5 bites and it's gone. The fries were good as well. My only complaint would be the large number of flies that kept touching my legs. Super annoying as it is an inside establishment but overall my meal was good. The waitress was prompt and attentive. We were in an out probably under 40 minutes. read more

We love the Docket (in the back - when it's open, but apparently the hours on Google are wrong), and Nightshift (upstairs) is cool. But Sidebar leaves much to be desired. Drinks are pretty good, although I sent back my first one. We went in the middle of the day on a Sunday, so it wasn't busy at all (and we only ordered drinks). My biggest issue here is that my credit card was charged twice what the bill was - not two separate times (which would indicate an accident), but just double the bill. So that's a fun thing to have to raise with my credit card issuer. Fortunately, I keep my receipts, so I was able to go back and verify and raise an issue with my CC issuer read more

Great Happy Hour! Terrific service! Shea is the BEST! Charming, historic building with nice, fresh menu.

Great outdoor seating and cinnamon rolls are delicious a shame there only on weekends. Service is great,

I had a great time at SideBar coffee shop. It was morning time and I wanted a coffee to start the day right. This place was perfect! It has an edgy vibe inside, staff is extremely friendly, and there was plenty of seating. I decided to enjoy my Oat Milk Latte with Caramel there since it was so relaxing and cozy inside. They had really yummy looking scones that I will definitely try next time! I was there real early in the morning, so I found a convenient parking spot on the side of the building. I recommend this place for the awesome coffee latte options and relaxing ambiance. Loved it! read more
