    I stopped by on a Saturday morning, and it was quite busy. Parking was easy nearby. I opted to…read moreorder from their walk-up window instead of going inside. They had a large selection of baked goods and pastries. Their cinnamon roll seemed popular, as it was already sold out. I ordered the chocolate chip cookie, banana bread, and carrot cake. The chocolate chip cookie was excellent. It had a nice texture with the right amount of chocolate and salt on top. The banana bread was good, but it was a bit dry for my preference. The carrot cake was tasty with just the right amount of frosting.

    Sidekick compares favorably with my top tier of coffee shops in the broader area, including Bequest…read morein Mill Creek, 5 Stones in Kirkland, and Diva Espresso in Kenmore. It does the three things I care about most in a coffee shop well: good coffee, a space you actually want to spend time in, and consistently good service. Food & Drink: The coffee is legitimately good--not great, but good. They pull a good espresso shot and are solid across the espresso drinks. "The Local" is my go-to--a latte lightly sweetened with maple syrup from Woodinville Whiskey. It adds enough sweetness to be interesting without overwhelming the coffee. They also have a good selection of milk options and some seasonal/unusual rotating items (Blueberry Pancake Cold Brew happened to be on the menu recently). They don't, however, have a wide variety of straight black coffee options. Both the quality and variety of the pastries are high, with a few gluten-free options as well. I particularly like the savory scones. They also carry some useful non-pastry items like yogurt, hard-boiled eggs, and string cheese. Pricing leans moderate to high, although that's pretty traditional for Woodinville. Ambiance & Service: This may be where Sidekick separates itself most. Lots of windows and natural light, plenty of room, and a good variety of seating with sofas, chairs, high tops, and tables. There is also substantial outdoor seating during the summer. It's a welcoming area. There is even a "walk-up" outdoor window for ordering. Noise level is moderate. You can comfortably work here, although I wouldn't try to take a call. Outlets are available along the exterior wall seating. Service has consistently been very good. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and does a good job with the drinks. It feels like a place that is well run rather than simply a nice space with good coffee. The biggest weakness is parking. There is street parking and some garage parking, but parking is problematic in general. Construction throughout 2025 and 2026 has made an already challenging situation noticeably worse. Final Thoughts: Four stars. Sidekick is my favorite coffee shop in Bothell/Woodinville and firmly in my top tier for the broader area. The combination of good espresso, high-quality pastries, very good service, and one of the better coffee shop spaces around makes it an easy place to want to return to, even if the parking makes it difficult. -AC

I've had issues with a couple of orders and they've always been quick to fix them with no pushback or problems. I'm a big cold brew drinker, and Woods BY FAR blows out nearly every other cafe in the area's cold brew in terms of taste and smoothness. The seasonal menus are also fun and add some nice flavors if you don't mind some extra sugar in your drink. I'm not a huge fan of the food here but that's just me, I know some family and friends that love the items available. I've spent many hours working out of this Woods from my laptop and find the environment great. A couple of times I've had issues with other customers who obviously don't use deodorant, but that's not the stores problem. The WiFi is decently fast and very usable for the work I do. The bathroom is usually spotless too which is rare for a public place. Overall I highly recommend Woods Coffee and will keep coming back for the foreseeable future. Five stars for real!

It was pretty easy to make a cake order and the writing was free, unlike online where it says $5 for writing. When I got the cake, I was a bit disappointed. The writing had bled onto the cake, there was a crack in the frosting and it appeared that the frosting at the bottom leaned piped to the board instead of the cake. I didn't bother mentioning this at pick up because it didn't seem like the worker was also the cake person. The cake itself was a tad dry but light and airy. For the price I paid, I was disappointed by the outcome. Even if it was due to additional cake orders due to mother's day, I do expect better than this when I buy a cake from a local bakery. Also if you like crispy croissants, I do not recommend the Sichuan pepper cruffin. It was tasty but it didn't have the crisp that you'd expect from a bakery.

Bizarre choice, you realize full punchcards means we used to visit regularly and pay you often, right? Cool, we'll be sure not to come back then.

It had about 4.2 star review and was about 10 to 15 minutes away. I surely wanted to try this... it was inside our office complex and was surprised ! It's like a cafe inside office . Not the best ambience or a restaurant vibe there .. lots of parking outside . Service was really good . The guy was very friendly and spoke well. He gave me lots of options but I wasn't too hungry and got a bagel and some bread with jam. Also had a hot latte with extra shot .. coffee was really good . Perfect for an early morning coffee. Bagel was ok. It became a bit cold by the time I could take it home . Bread with jam was very very good. Pricing wise it was ok. They also serve lunch and other stuff. Good experience overall . 4 stars
