Amazing coffee spot! Really good coffee and delicious handpies and pastries. Staff was so friendly and kind, great spot for a quick breakfast on the go during our stay in the area

In town for business and stopped by the shop. Friendly service, great recommendations and delicious tea and food. Can’t wait to visit again. Highly recommend.

Had a wonderful experience here with the staff. Delicious chai latte. Very reasonable prices. The sweet treats we got, specifically the brownie was a bit underwhelming - but it was GF and vegan friendly. They did take the time to warm up a croissant for us! There is some seating indoors as well as outside through the back. I'd recommend a stop here. Cute space, nice vibes.

My favorite coffee shop! I had to give up caffeine and they have the best decaf to curb my fix. It’s so delicious too!! Most coffee shops I go to look at me like I have 5 heads when I ask for decaf. The crew is so friendly too! It shows that it’s a great place to work if the crew enjoys their jobs. Great work and a hats off to the owner!

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.

I think that was the best feta spinach croissant I've ever had. The atmosphere is really good, the background music is not loud, and the music selection is really good. I had a well done almond milk latte also, it was perfect. Easy to park along the street.

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 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).
