Sidewinder Coffee And Tea

Longtime Northside coffee shop with indoor and outdoor seating. Don't expect the friendliest customer service, but you'll always get a good hot drink and solid food options. Really neat art curation and support of artists. Good atmosphere for a date or catching up with a friend, not always the best for working remotely due to sound/close quarters.

I saw a guy writing in a notebook in the courtyard and I want to say he was just scribbling lines or maybe I just wish that was what he was doing because that would be a really funny story and not funny story is some guy writing observational poetry about people in the coffee shop. Who does he think he is? Adam Duritz of the Counting Crows? In his dreams. Okay, now I am getting angry about an imagined guy. He could have been writing a grocery list. We really need to be more charitable to strangers and our judgments about them. Oh dear God, did I write observational free verse about the guy at the coffeeshop? The cucumber sandwich was really really good and the staff is wonderful. Would observe again.

This great Northside coffee shop has the best patio and a pretty good selection of pastries (including some savory ones). I went around noon in a Sunday and there was a line, but it moved fast. The prices are cheaper than other places or at most average. There's decent indoor seating, but check out back to enjoy your brew and a fun painted fence in the sun (or under the shade of a table umbrella).

Nice little coffee shop in the heart of Northside near Hamilton and Chase (best two streets in all of Cincinnati, tbh). 2021 is year number 15 for Sidewinder and their crest has to be the best this side of the Mississippi. Menu includes Espresso, Food, Coffee, Tea, Smoothies, and Bar. The Mexican latte is delicious and not even remotely too spicy. Highly recommend!

This place had a really nice feel with helpful staff and a relaxed atmosphere. You walk in to a room where there is a number of options to choose from. Pastries, coffee, and refrigerated snacks are all at your disposal. The staff was very accommodating in helping change a drink to your specific needs. They charged nothing extra to make changes that best suited our needs. I highly recommend this establishment and I hope they succeed for years to come.
