My wife and I stopped by the First Street Sidecar location in Cedar Falls this past weekend…read more Unfortunately, this location does not appear on Yelp, so I am leaving a review for the College Hill location (which I have visited in the past). Here are our thoughts below! Food/Drink: Monster Cookie (Yum! This cookie was HUGE, soft, and delicious. Rating = 8/10). Hot Cinnamon Roll Latte (This tasted nearly identical to a warm, gooey, cinnamon roll! Be warned - it is a very sweet beverage. Rating = 7.7/10). Iced Hazelnut Latte (YES! This is basically almost as good as it gets when it comes to a latte. Absolutely scrumdidilyumptious. Rating = 9/10). Service: The service here could not have been better! Our barista's name was Brianna, and she had a phenomenal attitude. She looked excited to help us out and appears to love her job. Her passion for her job truly shined through during our time in the shop. Ambiance: As mentioned above, this review is based on our visit to the First Street location in Cedar Falls. It has a much different vibe than the College Hill location. The First Street location is not quite as "homey" as the College Hill cafe and has more of a coffee chain feel (not as much unique character that I typically enjoy with local coffee brands). The College Hill location, on the other hand, has much more personality. It is an excellent place to get some work done, read a book, or meet up with friends! All in all - we undoubtedly had a 5-star experience at Sidecar this past weekend. Excellent food and drink and some of the best service we've received in a while!

The owner had just finished roasting a fresh batch of coffee. Walking in the shop is still the same. The protocol that has been implemented has been masks for patrons. Owner doesn't wear a mask, he is the only one in the shop. Curbside is now available! Parking is plentiful so curbside is easy as parking by the door, a call to the shop, and in two seconds he's delivering the goods. Spent $16.50 for 1lb of Peru roast and $6.50 for 2 oz of Apricot Escape herbal tea. Great service and GREAT COFFEE!

I really like is a coffee shop with a cool, informal vibe that opens early. Throw in a nice window and some big ass plants and I am in! Filled with plenty of seating, a couple of outdoor tables for the nice days and some larger tables for those with actual work to do, it's easy to spend a chunk of time here. I am sure if I lived nearby, I'd be here all the time. In fact, if I was looking for a home in Ames, I'd probably just draw a circle within walking distance and start my search there.

With closed eyes, I basked in every warm note of my extremely fairly priced coffee as it hit my with the force of a boxing hamster. The voluptuous exhale reminded me why coffee is my lady and no human woman can ever warm my frozen heart as effectively as a fresh cup of Joe. As I raised the cup to take another hit, a stupid sparrow hollered what I'm sure was an obscenity from the branch of dogwood bush. The little instigator laughed loudly with his friends at my hairstyle and fashion. It wasn't long before a prissy bluebird and a rabbit emerged from the annoyingly bright colored flower garden to heckle and point at me. "You're a stupid, ugly loser and your mom doesn't love you!" Is what I know they were saying. I sprang from the park bench like Johnny Cage in Mortal Kombat and ran at the sparrow with designs on spilling his blood. Instead, I fell flat and spilled the best black coffee I've ever tasted for a crafty squirrel tied my shoelaces to the bench. The master roaster, Brian, gives attention to the nuances of every bean. The single origin Sumatra and Ethiopian roasts are miles better than any other roaster. Smokey Joe is my favorite blend here. Nice prices and a great product join forces to make Aroma's the Optimus Prime of coffee houses. The only complaint I have is that the sparrows, bluebirds, hummers, and cute flowers on the violently quaint patio detract from the coffee. Also my lip is bleeding. I'm going to quit Yelping about it and grab a napkin... also a refill.
