They have your classics, as well as specialty donuts. They have a special everyday such as "Turnover Tuesday", which I think is neat! The worker told me all about the variety of donuts, and told me about other donut varieties, which they've done in the past. The fritter which I had is hands down the best fritter ever! Perfectly crispy on the outside, light and fluffy on the inside. The old fashioned is THICK. The "Java Nut" is filled with the Holland Creme. Not many donut places have this type of filling, so I was delighted to see it featured at this donut shop! I look forward to my next visit to try even more donuts! Definitely a must stop for true donut fans.

100% recommended. If…read moreyou live in the Cedar Valley and haven't been to Panache yet, let this be a sign that this needs to change. The word "hidden gem" gets thrown around a lot, but Panache truly is a hidden gem; I mean that without any exaggeration. We went in for the Deluxe Afternoon Tea; they offer lower tier experiences too, but for a first visit we wanted the full thing. Full disclosure: I am not a tea person. However, the teas at Panache were so good, that I actually purchased a container before we left. There are over 30 flavors of tea, ranging from the most popular flavors to exotic flavors I have never even heard of. The best part? Their teas actually taste like the name of the flavor; not just some vaguely flavored water that many of us are so accustomed to. The food here is delicious, presented in such an elegant manner, and is far more filling than I expected. The service is the kind you don't have to think about; water refilled, teapots topped off, and being tended to before any of us even noticed that they were getting low. We never had to ask for a thing. The music was at exactly the right volume, the space was fancy, and we were relaxed the entire time. This is a family-owned business, and I say that literally; each person working here is related to one-another. Out of every restaurant I've been to in the area, including places that are portrayed as far fancier and more expensive, I genuinely believe that Panache puts more heart into what they do than anyone else, and you can not only see it, but you can also taste it. The only thing that made me sad, is that we were the only table there. A place this good should not have this problem. If you've never tried their individual pies either, do yourself a favor and order some. We've ordered them separately before and they're crafted to a level that is so hard to explain until you try one; perfect amount of filling, flavor, and flakiness. Pro: The service is unmatched. Treated like royalty the entire time, and it never felt performative; just genuine warmth and attentiveness. Combined with the food, the teas, and the atmosphere, this is one of the best all-around experiences I've had at any restaurant. Con: Truly nothing. This place is as perfect as it gets. Tip: You can reserve online through their website; quick and easy. If you have dietary restrictions such as gluten, you can reach out to them and they may be able to accommodate you.

Cute interior space, but most people when I was here were coming to pick up and/or take to go. Packaging was a bit lackluster and basically just clear cups with a paper sticker on them that dissolved in your hand as your cup became covered in condensation. But you can pay extra for their cuter designed reusable bottles, which ehhhh. I got one of their "Fijian" drinks with lychee jellies, which is like a full proper fruit drink since none of their milk tea options really excited me, and an Oreo smoothie for my boyfriend. We both liked ours and there's not a ton of other options in the area, so this'll do!

You order your tea at the counter and then it is brought to you in a little tea pot with an hour glass. If it's a black tea you ordered, you have a five minute timer. If it's herbal, you have a seven minute hour glass. There's a display of mismatched cups and saucers to choose from to drink your tea. I ordered a London Fog which came out in a great pottery mug. Really delicious. The prices are very reasonable too. Really cute store front and great service.

Shortly before I ran out, I placed an $80 order on their website and received the tea quickly!

Big fan of their teas (Scottish Caramel, Honey Almond) and now I'm a big fan of their customer service!

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!
