Sidekick Coffee

My friend and I recently had the opportunity to rent space at Sidekick Coffee in order to host a Gilmore Girl’s Trivia Night! The space was clean, and accommodating. Communication with the staff to make the reservation was easy, and the price wasn’t too expensive either. We were able to bring our own, on theme, drinks, decor, and snacks, but the coffee shop remained open for sales for an hour of the event which was nice. The service was friendly and personable! We had a great experience, and will definitely consider hosting an event again here in the future!

Cute cafe. I loved that even thought there were a lot of people and nearly all tables were full, it did not feel like we’re in top of each other Separate thank you for the baby chair and the cute cheap kids coco in the menu

First time visit and will be back. Busy Sunday morning, but the line went quickly. Lots of inside and outside seating, very open and lots of natural light. Ordered a simple, iced latte, which was just strong enough without addding an additional shot.

This is my favorite coffee shop right now and I’ve been to many. They care about making you a special drink. The latte art is consistently amazing. They are fast and spot on with the order. The savory food I’ve tried has been really good. I keep going out of my way to come back because of their amazing latte art and the coffee tastes really good. I usually just get a latte so can’t review other drinks.

What a lovely spot , food is really tasty , coffee is flavorful , not bitter and strong , and the place has a ton of light and feels real cozy! Nice spot !

Coffee was okay, but literally the BEST cinnamon bun I have ever had. It doesn’t look like it - but that first bite - WOW. If you like cinnamon buns, you need to eat this.

I ordered an espresso macchiato, and it was exactly what I hoped for—rich, bold, and perfectly balanced. The café has a lovely ambiance in the afternoon, making it an ideal spot to work outside my home office. It has quickly become one of my go-to places when I need a change of scenery.

I have visited this coffee shop several times and have always enjoyed my visits. One of the things I love about this place is the large windows that let in plenty of natural light, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Parking is usually easy, which is a big plus. During rush hour, it can be challenging to find a table right away, but I can usually secure a seat if I wait a bit. My go-to drinks are the matcha latte and the golden latte, both of which are consistently delicious.

I love this cozy coffee shop! I'm always impressed with how comfortable and inviting it is. The space is open and airy, with plenty of seating options. I also appreciate the free parking in the garage under the apartments, which is a huge plus. Follow the Woodin Creek parking signs for retail parking and there's plenty available. Unfortunately they have a time limit for laptop use. There's a sign that requests people to limit their laptop use to 90 minutes. Their wifi is fast and free, password located over the near the sugar and coffee condiments. Overall, I highly recommend Sidekick Coffee if you're looking for a great place to work or relax.

Cute coffee shop in the heart of the redeveloped mixed use commercial/residential area of Woodinville. Super friendly service as soon as you walk in. Got an oat milk latte which is filled to the brim in a large mug with the beautiful artwork from the milk. I also grabbed a ham and gruyere croissant to have with my latte. The croissant was so delicious and flaky. The cheese flavor was subtle, yet complemented the savory flavor of the ham. If I ever have a meeting, I will come here as apparently so do many others in the area as this place filled up quick by 9 am. So get here a little early if you can. Definitely worth it.

This coffee shop is light and bright! It has seating but Saturday mornings are packed! The baristas and staff are actually very good at providing the best customer service, even if you are indecisive! The coffee is strong and just what I needed for a slow Saturday morning! The treats and sandwiches looked so good and were just as good as they looked! I tried a savory dill scone and a cinnamon bun!

Very busy on Saturday morning. Love the decor and all the different seating areas! Food and coffee options amazing! the Fresh flowers were so pretty! love small biz connections

One of our favorite local coffee houses. Tons of seating, and great vibe. The baristas are all really friendly and give great recommendations. Their real draw is their amazing selection of baked goods--the earl grey lavender cookie is an absolute must.

What a pleasant corner coffee spot. Inside is quite cozy with a variety of seating options; plus the lighting isn't too dark or bright. The vibe just feels pretty balanced overall. There's an island in the middle with a unique variety of craft merch & goods. There's also a side interior access door and an exterior walk-up window. I didn't find much options for vegan snacks aside from a promising artisinal granola. For beverage drink thingie, I got "The Local" (it comes in quotes, ha) with decaf and oat milk. 'Twas pretty good. One of their seasonals appears to be a scratch-made pumpkin spice/pie latte which I totally got bookmarked. I often use a business's quality of seasonal flavors as a basis for measuring their detail for quality. Staff was cordial & friendly. A nice spot in lil ol' Woodinville.

Such a cute gem in woodinville! Love how they have cute decorations and gifts. I love how they have so many pastries as well! Def a good spot to study or catch up with a friend.

I went to their walk-up window and got an iced chai with oat milk! Seeing inside, it seemed like a really nice place to be in & do some work in. Everyone was super friendly, and offered my puppy a treat! The drink was wonderful and tasted delicious! Will come back again.

Since I had some time to kill, I stopped in for an afternoon coffee and treat. I ordered a mocha and a couple of cookies to sample. I was pleased to see that they offer a large assortment of baked goods that come from a variety of purveyors. This is a spacious coffee shop with lots of seating and has a cool hangout vibe. Another added bonus was I recognized the barista from a previous bake shop. I look forward to visiting again.

Cute coffee shop! There is a little gift section where you can find items like cute mugs and tea and other merch. This looked like a popular coffee shop in the area as people kept coming in and out. We had a dog with us - they let us get coffee inside with the dog but we were not allowed to sit with the dog inside. I ordered the matcha latte, which tasted like milk - it wasn't that great but I assume their coffee is better. I also got the orange cranberry scone, which was pretty good! I took some home and had it warmed up the next day and it was still good. If you need to go to the bathroom, they let you use the bathroom inside the gym that is located in the same building.

Just stumbled upon this gem of a place. Had seen it with some friends and they had nothing but good to say about it so I came back the next day with my partner in crime (boyfriend) and we checked it out! We arrived around 9:20am on a Friday and oh my, it was packed! We had intended to work from there but could not find a seat inside, they were all occupied. We went ahead and gazed at all the pastries and made our decisions. I ordered an iced vanilla oatmilk latte, I asked for soy milk but they don't carry it. It was delicious. My other half ordered a plain iced latte with whole milk. Also delicious. Instead of pastries we opted for there breakfast offerings, I got a sausage breakfast sandwich and he got a breakfast burrito. Everything came out super quick. We did manage to find a seat outside but were freezing since it was super cold that day. We ate quickly and then headed back home. I love the space, the taste of the coffee and the aesthetic. We'll try again.

This is a great trendy place with good work ambiance and coffee! We were attracted by the 4.7 star review on Google and this coffee shop does not disappoint! It is nested in a great and looking brand new neighborhood with apartments, retails shops and walkable clean streets. We ordered one cappuccino and one seasonal latte flavor almond rose. The latte is slightly sweeter than I thought but has great rosy flavor. Cappuccino really hit the spot with strong roasty node and creamy texture!

Coffee is the best Monday motivation and I am pretty motivated thanks to side kick . Stopped for a coffee break and breakfast and the place was overflowing with customers . we were able to order right away at the counter and luckily a seat opened at the exact time . The space is airy ,well lit and spacious . Plenty of seating options from couches to comfy chairs .There is also seating outdoors . The staff even though busy took a moment to chit-chat and seemed to be friendly . Beverages and food everything was on-point .

I would let this go if the coffee was even good. But man the baristas are sooooo rude, almost giving entitled. I ordered a maple and vanilla latte because they were out of other syrups. And I did not know it was called a "local", so when the barista started yelling "a local" how was I supposed to know... no need to roll your eyes at me. This is the second time I've been here, gotten a matcha and now a latte and they both taste like water.... Do better, train your staff better.

A Must-Visit for Coffee Lovers and Cyclists Alike! Coffee: 5/5 Pastries: 2.5/5 Vibe: 4.5/5 Service: 5/5 Value for Money: 4.5/5 I 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!

Really nice coffee place, good vibe, and I love their hot chocolate! Parking can be a little challenging nearby though

We always stop by and get coffee from Sidekick whenever we are in Woodinville and sometimes I want to go to Woodinville just to hangout here. The coffeeshop is located in a cute area with other restaurants and some wine tasting rooms and where you can walk around with your doggies! Service is always great here and I love how cute this place is and it's very spacious! It does get pretty busy here but coffee is great! I haven't had their small bites but I'm sure it's good. I definitely love going to this coffeeshop :)

I went here for macaron Friday (a small business selling their macarons here), and little did I know they have great coffee here. I tried the great pumpkin latte, and it was delicious. Sweet and like a cup of fall. I could drink this drink over and over. Plus, who doesn't love latte art. They have other drinks that I would like to go back and try, but I haven't made it back yet. As for the shop itself, it is on the small side. There are different style seats from tall tables, counter chairs, regular tables, etc. Going at lunch or Friday afternoon is pretty busy with limited seating. The entrance is also not stroller friendly, as in you have to go down a step and to be honest there isn't much room to wheel one around either.

I had seen this place on google maps - close to the target i was going to pop by. It looked super cute and the branding is to die for. The little dog mascot is so cute - i wanted to buy the ceramic mug. (but do i realllly need a new mug? no.) The interior and location is great! Staff were nice enough. The coffee was just okay if i'm being honest. I've had a LOT of coffee and this is defs not my fave. also the lid for the iced latte made me spill Several times and got a few stains on my shirt I did however LOVE the s'mores bad i had. 10/10

Super cute venue. I tried the s'mores bar and it was delicious. Parking is a bit difficult if you can find street parking. Busy place with plenty of seating. Great service.

I stopped in to Sidekick Coffee this morning. It's a cute place with a colorful ambiance. It was very busy there this morning, but the staff members were sweet and welcoming. I ordered the Chai Tea. My companion ordered the Hot Chocolate. My Chai Tea was delicious. I had a taste of the Hot Chocolate too, and I liked it. It tasted more bitter than sweet. I am a fan of Hot Chocolates that taste more bitter. The outdoor blue and white checked chairs were so cute, but I found it a bit cold to sit outside today, so we sat indoors. The chairs and the bench were very hard, but I doubt that bothers many people. I do prefer soft seating personally, though, but many places do not have that. I appreciated the sign as soon as you enter that stated, "Mind Your Step." There is a large step down between the entrance area and the order area. There is quite a bit of merchandise for sale from local businesses on display at Sidekick Coffee. I perused several of the items with interest, but I didn't purchase anything today other than my Chai Tea. I am still recovering from holiday shopping purchases last month. I would stop in to Sidekick Coffee again any time. Very cute place, with yummy Chai Tea and good customer service.

Sidekick is a great place to meet for coffee, sandwiches or pastry. The owners Amy and Josh are amazing as is their staff

I've only been here once, but first impressions are everything. My go-to when trying a new coffee shop is a hazelnut latte with plant milk. Hot if it's fall/winter. Iced if it's spring/summer. Sidekick doesn't carry hazelnut, which surprised me but I'm usually easy going so I was happy to try another flavor. Unfortunately, none of their flavors really sounded good to me, but they did have a "dark chocolate" syrup that at least sounded interesting. I ended up ordering an iced latte with plant milk and a bit of the dark chocolate syrup. After a bit of waiting, a barista put a drink on the counter and called out "iced dark mocha." That's similar, I guess, to what I was expecting but it was pretty busy in there so I didn't really think it was mine. I waited a few minutes and no one came up to the bar to get it. I asked the barista what the drink was, just to make sure I heard right. She repeated it and sounded a bit annoyed that I was asking. I told her what/how I ordered and asked if this was meant to be mine. She raised her voice and very slowly yelled "ITS...AN...ICED...DARK...MO...CHA" while sarcastically enunciating every syllable. Then she rolled her eyes and walked away. I drank it and didn't like it. Later that night I was violently ill, and I'm convinced it was not made with plant milk like I ordered. The two stars are because I was with 2 people who enjoyed their drinks and didn't get yelled at. Idk how you fix rude baristas. But I do think calling out people's names instead of the order would be better. It definitely would clear up a lot of confusion. Either way, I won't be back.

The coffee was excellent. The coffee shop had a great vibe and lots of sitting. Great to see and support local coffee shoppe.

A trendy coffee spot. Looks very new and clean. Ordered a Chai latte. It was delicious! They used Oatly milk. It could be hotter but nice foam on top. The Everything Great cookie has coconut, chocolate, and oats. It's a bit oily. They didn't ask if I wanted it heated but I asked and they did. Unfortunately the lady that handed it to me just threw it on the counter rudely even if my hands were already reaching for it. Knocked down a point. Very young servers here that could do better with customer service. Cute seating outside!

Super cute coffee shop! Every single one of the pastries looked awesome, just made, and unique. I love that they have some creative coffee options/special while still maintaining a relatively simple list. I had the cold brew and it was spectacular.

Oh wait but there's more!! Listen coming back to a place and finding that it's still got it is always a good day in my book! Service fantastic Coffee even better There's always a chair to grab and relax a little Check it out people

Amazing coffee, definitely try the orange you glad special- delicious!! Love the outdoor window for easy on the go ordering when out for a walk

Delicious coffee. Gorgeous interior. We loved hanging out with the baby and sipping our drinks of the comfy couches. Baby crawled around on the fluffy rugs. Everyone was chill. The spot is a lesson in interior design and natural lighting. Such a wonderful coffee shop!

Really, really good coffee. Staff is always genuinely kind. Nestled in the Woodin Creek Apartments in downtown Woodinville, this coffee shop has a quaint ambiance & is a great place to meet a friend or catch up on some work.

I love the vibe at Sidekick. The coffee is delicious, the feel is relaxed and everything is quality. I can come here with a kiddo or a date and it works for either. I'm addicted to their chai and the confetti cookie. My other half raved about the latte and the people watching. All are delicious. ;) They have cute hoodies and shirts as well as trinkets and coffee related items for purchase. Retail lot parking is right next to the store and if it's not too crazy, you can get street parking.

Super cute and spacious coffee shop, and the seasonal drinks are always unique and good. The baristas are always helpful with recommendations and super efficient. Even if they take a little longer than usual they're attentive and apologetic (which isn't necessary cause if it's busy it's understandable.) Love the sandos and will always recommend this spot for studying or doing tasks.

Great local coffee shop. Outdoor seating and to go menu is a plus! There is lots of seating but this place is really popular.

Cute and bright interior! Amazingly friendly staff. It's nice to see a local place that isn't understaffed and that has workers that look awake and happy to be there: Coffee was bright and robust. Pastry was warm and just sweet enough. Would definitely return.

Despite a day off from work, I specifically drove to Woodinville for a first visit to Sidekick Coffee (1/2/23). I wanted to spend some me time reading while enjoying a mocha and a baked treat. I was able to find nearby street parking and clearly this is a well established and popular destination in the midst of a business and residential district. There were also a handful of adjacent restaurants, hence the constant pedestrian volume. The cafe was hopping and I observed constant foot traffic with folks enjoying good convo, coffee, and treats whether seated indoors or outdoors. Also, they have a convenient outdoor takeout window. No surprise here. Variety of available seating configurations. Lots of natural light at the window counter by the entrance. Interesting selection of beverages, baked goods, and merch. Great overhead music. Welcoming and efficient counter staff. My mocha was totally on point regarding temperature, flavor, and presentation. A Theo chocolate mocha! My baked treat was a delicious, chewy ginger molasses cookie. Both items were thoroughly savored. I appreciated seeing an indie cafe that functions as a community gathering spot and it was a definitely lively start to the New Year. I was onsite for two hours and found the overall vibe enjoyable. However, exercise caution at the entrance, especially on an inclement weather day. I don't know how this is fully ADA accessible with a downward step from the entrance. It would be a challenge if one had a stroller, walker, wheelchair, crutches, orthopedic boot, or having other mobility issues. Perhaps there is another entrance? Just an observation. Enjoyed my visit, definitely recommended! Happy New Year - 2023 off to a great start!

Busy but worth it! The baristas are very kind, fast, and efficient. You also can't ask for a better location right in the middle of downtown Woodinville. My brother-in-law and I took our coffee to go and walked around the fields and unique shops around the area. Even though it can get busy, it never feels packed. I can always find a seat if I wait a few minutes and all of the seats are comfortable and usually clean. I absolutely recommend this place for the best coffee in the area. The Theo chocolate mocha is superb. The maple syrup (which I've heard is made by a local whiskey distillery) and the vanilla are also must-try flavors to add to any espresso drink.

The atmosphere is really nice, during the summer/spring there's cute seating outdoors with pretty flowers. The drinks are more or less good. Theo mocha is for the chocolate lovers, oat milk macchiato is simple, the local is interesting but good, however their matcha was clumpy and unenjoyable. Basic drinks nothing too crazy to rave about but still enjoyable.

Adorable cafe. It was nice to spend time with friends. The coffee had a good, strong flavor. But in my opinion, there wasn't enough WOW factor to make me want to go back.

We popped in for a coffee before heading to downtown Seattle for a virtual reality event. The place is very spotless and the baristas are friendly! My wonderful wife got a chocolate latte concoction which came with perfect latte art. Better than I can do! She enjoyed it! My awesome sister ordered a latte sweetened with whiskey barrel aged maple syrup! Wow! Spectacular! In fact, we plan to go back to buy some of the syrup to bring home with us! Of course, I selected a pure espresso. It comes with a double pull which is more than fine with me. It had a perfect crema and a nice coffee aroma. My first taste was definitely warm and pleasant. Not overly sweet or sour but just right! Yum! Their coffee is locally brewed from Herkimer. It's not brewed in house but at least it's from the local area! Seattle is certainly known for coffee roasting and artistry! Life is good with yummy espresso!

It's my favorite coffee in the whole Puget Sound! Staff are incredible every time I go in for my usual almond milk latte! Now that I'm in Europe they don't have my almond milk lattes, just different. I'll be back soon for my amazing latte! Cheers to the whole staff at Sidekick Coffee! 5 star for sure!! Rosie

One liner: "the local" is worth trying and they have a good selection and vibe for coffee. $11 for two coffees. We popped into this quaint coffee shop while on a stroll in the Woodinville area. It was lovely inside with nice decor and the coffees they had were great! They had something called "the local" which is a latte that has barrel aged maple syrup in it. I mean I'll take anything that's barrel aged, so I tried it. It was delicious! I usually don't add sweetness to my coffees but this one was worth it. We also tried a regular cappuccino which was good. The staff was friendly.

Food used to be a solid 4, although the consistency of their cinnamon rolls had recently slipped. However, we continued to love the coffee, and some of their gf baked goods, so trekked 20 minutes out of our way for regular weekend visits over a two year period. Service was usually friendly (although not outstanding compared to other coffee spots in the area). Today as we were leaving a server pulled aside my elderly wife (in what seemed to be a targeted bullying attack) after my wife placed some used cups in the dirty dish bin. The server said she'd been watching us over multiple visits. She accused my wife of repeatedly damaging dishes put in the dirty dish bin over the two year period that we've been regular customers. Note: I usually place our cups, plates and saucers in the bin. It's not my wife. So if said server had this concern, should have talked to me directly not my wife. My wife helped me bus today because I had injured my back this week. I otherwise bus our dishes usually being the one sitting closest to the counter and service area. As it turns out, my wife has worked in the culinary profession, including working for one of their top coffee companies in Hawaii at one point during her career. Trained and worked both front and back of the house. My wife was utterly appalled at this server's lack of professionalism, including down to mid riff exposed &'the person is working around hot beverages and serving food. There were countless other ways the server could have addressed the concern instead of attacking an elderly female customer. The dirty dish tub is often overflowing with dirty dishes & cups during peak periods. If said server thinks an elderly couple (who regularly tips the server 20%) can't properly self bus dirty dishes in this setting to said server's satisfaction, how about giving coffee in disposable cups and food in disposable take away containers to prevent cups or dishes chipping at all - if it indeed actually happened. Server needs coaching in proper customer service. We won't be returning.

Very spacious with indoor and outdoor seating. It seems like it's always full here! The baristas were friendly. I had the seasonal "sugar and spice" latte and the Cardamom roll. Both were delicious! They have a plethora of other baked foods and sandwiches too. This is probably the most thriving coffee shop in Woodinville and with good reason. Definitely recommend.

The ice coffee and iced tea were good. The coffee fresh and not too acidic for our tastes. The ice tea was fresh and reasonably strong. We had a GF chocolate muffin that was excellent. It could compete with any non-GF muffin - a nice surprise. The atmosphere and decor is excellent. Instead of packing every inch with tables, they've retained a fair bit of open space which feels very upscale. Lots of nice outside seating as well. Last, but not least, service was excellent. We'll be back!

The coffee can be a bit stronger and I usually get the matcha latte. The marshmallow pie is very yummy. I like the location which is in downtown Woodinville and love that they carry merchandise like candles and cups which is perfect when waiting for the coffee.

Headed into the shop on a snowy day. Watch your step down as you head towards the counter. It's a very open space with lots of seating. Very modern looking, but it lacked warmth. It was also nearly packed with customers, making it quite loud. My matcha tea, unfortunately was lumpy in parts. Not sure if they used ceremonial grade matcha. The cardamom roll was very good though. Will have to try their espresso on another visit.

We two stopped for coffee and pastry on a sunny Friday afternoon. One can order inside or order take-out from a walk-up window. COFFEE: 3.0. An Americano and a Decaf Latte. Below expectations, but acceptable. PASTRY: 3.0. Pain au Chocolat (aka Chocolate Croissant). Fresh, with ok taste - I wouldn't order it again. Very pricy at $6.50. SERVICE: 3.0. Service was ok. Nothing more. AMBIANCE: 4.0. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Indoor seating includes many tables -- including a large table -- and bench seating along windows on two sides. Wi-fi data rate seemed low during our stay.

This new coffee place is in town is so good! They have variety of specialty drinks to choose from . As well as pastries. I got the maple syrup latte . It's a great balance of sweetness . It hits the spot . I had a s'mores bar to go with it.

I stumbled in here a few months back after yelping for a good coffee shop in woodinville -- it surprised this local as I had NO idea any of this woodin creek stuff was tucked over here. But I was blown away by how great Sidekick is, and since then I've been back at least once a week. First off the vibes are perfect. Comfy couches, plants and natural lighting. Second, they do a perfect traditional cappuccino, something that is depressingly hard to find. Third, the people are all awesome and super nice. Fourth, they have a great breakfast sandwich and bake pastries onsite. Fifth, they're fast!! Turns out amazing coffee doesn't take very long when you know what you're doing. Hands down the best coffee shop on the eastside, sorry 203. All that said, please don't come here, as I need a place to sit.
