    Sidecar on the hill always has the best "vibes" of the cedar falls coffee shops. Service is almost always fast and friendly. Coffee is pretty good, I wouldn't say it's exceptional high end coffee, but way better than any sort of chain place. 100% my go-to when in town

    I found this place on Yelp and needed an afternoon jolt so I strolled into the Sidecar. What a fabulous coffee shop on College Hill. The smell was heavenly. I had heard that the Frank Sinatra was the local favorite. I asked the Barista what she liked and wouldn't you know she loved the Frank Sinatra also. I must try this Frank Sinatra which is chocolate, espresso, milk, and piercing blue eyes. This is a wonderful espresso, so full of flavor, yet not bitter and not too sweet, it was perfection. The chocolate was like a velvet cover for the espresso that worked wonderfully together and brought a smile to your face. The Barista was very helpful and friendly. They offer more than just coffee. I hope to return for another Frank Sinatra and to sample the food.

    Inside is nice too!

    I come here on Mondays most of the time between 2 and 4 and it's pretty chill and not very busy. Their coffee is great you get options for drip coffee between light and dark I like to mix them at Friendly prices I think $2. Also just today I bought one of their Pop-Tarts for 2:50 the feeling is Blueberry Lemon really takes the not too sweet in my opinion the pastry itself is a little crunchy very tasty all around. I've been here many times and I'm a non college student I'm 28 with a family and I've never had a bad experience here at this sidecar or the others for that matter. I love my sweet so I recommend these Pop-Tarts they're very tasty coffee here is good too. :-)

    Cedar Falls hotspot and local gem. Serving as an epicenter for the Cedar Falls community, Sidecar has more than just a good cup of coffee. With a warm, friendly staff and clean, comfortable atmosphere, this is a place where you can plant yourself for hours to work or just to relax. Not sure what to order? The Van Fleet is a local favorite and Sidecar classic, with a smooth mocha flavor and subtle hint of orange. If you prefer something less sweet, their cappuccino is sure to please. So if passing through, don't hesitate to park yourself at Sidecar, grab a drink and enjoy.

    It's been great having a coffee roaster local to Cedar Falls. Since this is a coffee roaster, there aren't regular open shop hours, but they do deliver in the area usually by the next business day. Orders can be made on the web. Beans can be obtained at various stores around CF and Waterloo, as well as the College Hill Farmers Market. I primarily make espresso at home but do some pour over and press brew. Sidecar has quite a variety of Central and South American as well as African and South East Asian single origin beans available. Their espresso blends have also been great. They have also collaborated with a local microbrewery (Single Speed) on several coffee beer projects including stouts and ales. Sidecar can also be found on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/SidecarCoffeeRoasters

    The delicious menu at Sidecar Coffee!

    I would keep coming back for the Van Fleet latte alone! Look at this: Rich chocolate, espresso, steamed milk of your choice and...is that orange zest? Um, YES! And it's awesome! If I could have this latte at every coffee shop, it would be the only one I would drink for the rest of my life. Yup, it's desert island good. The breakfast sandwich I had (#1) was made to order, as they all are here. Croissant with bacon, egg, and cheese. They make it on a panini press. Very, very good. Add to those a convivial atmosphere and friendly staff, and this place is awesomely outstanding!

    Bigger latte just means more milk here. Disappointed with coffee to milk ratio but I dig that they roast their own beans.

    Looked nice but when I walked in, it smelled like someone threw up everywhere. So I walked out.

    My personal favorite coffee shop. Both sites have a great staff team and some will even provide stellar latte art!

    A chocolaterie in the heart of downtown Cedar Falls - how wonderful! This is a perfect place for a…read morechocolate/sweets lover or for the chocolate/sweets lover in your life! They have an endless selection, do incredible gift box options, have seasonal goodies as well, and I felt as though all the prices were fair and reasonable! They have gelato in this shop as well, along with popcorn, hot cocoa, and other offerings like that along the other walls. But their main display is just chocolates upon chocolates, and some seriously unique ones too! The ones I snagged all tasted so delicious and decadent, and I felt like I was able to properly savor them before they melted, which was absolutely wonderful! Given that it was our first time in the shop, the person serving us was so helpful too! She was able to help us find the perfect size box, answer all of our questions, and give great recommendations. What more could you ask for! I would highly recommend getting some goodies from here if you're in the mood for chocolate or need a fun and gorgeous gift idea!

    If you appreciate high end chocolat and coffee/espresso and you are in the area, please do yourself…read morethe favor of coming to Chocolaterie Stam! Hand crafted with knowledge and skill, my word it was lovely! My son and I are visiting from the West Coast and the Mocha with Espresso I had was like drinking liquid light and chocolat bliss. We'll be stopping in each day until we leave for home.
