I stopped in on COLD day to pick up some coffee and sourdough bread. The coffee was pretty good and kept me warm as I walked back to my car. They had a decent selection of baked goods, coffees, and teas.

The food was delicious. I had shrimp tacos with sweet potato fries. The drinks were tasty and they have happy hour 7 days a week which I love! The service was a bit slow but hospitable. The floor was broken directly under my chair which was a bit of a challenge. Super cute vibe and definitely a great place to grab a bite

What's the Tea cocktail.

We checked out this bar on a Friday night and it was packed. We ended up going upstairs to NightShift and it was a little easier to find a spot to sit, so we ended up getting drinks up there. The bartenders were incredibly nice and helped us all pick drinks to try. The establishment overall was very particular about the space and what drinks were consumed where. We mainly wanted to just grab a drink and find a place to sit or stand, but were told drinks from upstairs and downstairs had to be consumed in their respective areas. The cocktails were solid and we would definitely be back.

This a great downtown Leesburg bar/restaurant. It has seating everywhere. Great happy hour starting 2pm. The happy hour bites are pretty good. A very causal place to relax and enjoy drinks and food with friends.

I hate writing this review because I don't want you here. Night Shift is the coolest little speakeasy bar ever. Hard to find but well worth it. Tell them what you want and they will build it, and it will be great. Quiet place with nooks and crannies to hang out in. Music is fine, atmosphere is ultra cool. Can this be my private place?!

They get a four because of their cinnamon rolls which are flaky and very layered like a croissant with cinnamon sugar, sticky, sweet goodness. It is thick and doughy in the middle and this location is very well known for their cinnamon rolls. I can definitely see my boyfriend coming in here just for that. Their brunch is OK but nothing necessarily to write home about. It makes for a very good brunch place after a night out of drinking, but the Hangover is very heavy and oily and greasy. The biscuits and gravy were also good, but not necessarily outstanding. Pretty good mimosas though!

Absolutely amazing BLT and General Tso's Chicken!! Truly amazing and fresh food, was so satisfying and not heavy.

Great food, cozy vibes, and lovely staff! Sidebar is one of my favorite spots -- I've been there several times, and every visit has been a great experience. The appetizers and main dishes are always delicious, and the cozy, beautifully designed atmosphere makes it a great place to enjoy a meal. The staff are friendly, polite, and all professional, which adds to the overall positive experience. One thing to keep in mind: make sure to ask for the appetizer to be served before the main course. In my experience, they sometimes bring everything out at once -- even though it's called an appetizer for a reason! Highly recommend this place -- definitely worth visiting.

Came here tonight with a party of 8. Despite no reservation we were able to be seated quickly. We opted to sit inside due to the summer heat. However, I do not believe there was AC on inside and there was a decent amount of bugs (wasps and flies) Our sever Shea was great and attentive. She also did not rush us. The food and drinks were excellent. Love sidebar !

Still a great place to grab a great afternoon lunch, the Cali chicken sandwich was flavorful and not dry! The bread was also a great option, not too soft and not too hard and held the sandwich together! The service was speedy which I enjoyed a bit

I stopped by just for coffee on a rainy afternoon and it was a nice little pick me up. The space is tiny especially compared to the restaurant next door, so it's more conducive to grab and go rather than to sit inside. Service was very fast and friendly, and the barista was kind enough to hold my order while I used the restroom. I got the cold brew and it was strong and flavorful. They offered a variety of flavors, alternative milks, and sweeteners to customize your drinks. I would stop by here again and maybe try a pastry next time.

The Hangover
Ryan S.

We enjoyed brunch at Sidebar! Cool vibe inside and a cute outdoor space that's dog friendly. Friendly staff as well. We ordered the Hangover skillet and crabcake Benedict and both were tasty. Solid spot overall!

a coffee shop with a variety of coffees

I stumbled across SideBar Coffee this morning - - it's a tiny little coffee shop on South King Street in Old Town Leesburg, VA. I ordered a cold brew with a splash of Half n' Half. A lot of places will make a cold brew that is strong but does not taste great - or they'll make one that tastes great - but is not very strong. SideBar nails it on both counts - their cold brew is strong - gets the ole neurons firing; and it tastes great! It's a small place - a very limited amount of seating inside (no seating outside). The building is very old - lots of old, exposed brick gives the place a nice ambiance. Service was good. They do not currently accept Apple Pay. When I inquired as to why they do not support it - I was told their POS is to old. It's time for an upgrade! #SideBarCoffee

Second Nature Coffee has quickly become my favorite spot in Leesburg, and honestly, I can't imagine…read moremy mornings without it. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels genuinely welcoming -- warm lighting, a relaxed vibe, and staff who actually seem happy to be there. The coffee is exceptional. My go-to is their latte, which is consistently smooth and perfectly balanced -- never bitter, never over-roasted. It's clear they take real care in sourcing and preparation. The espresso has great depth and the milk is steamed just right every single time. The space itself is cozy but not cramped, making it ideal whether you're catching up with a friend or settling in with your laptop for a few hours. The pastries are a lovely bonus -- fresh and worth every bite. Leesburg has no shortage of coffee options, but Second Nature stands apart. It feels like a neighborhood gem that actually cares about its community and its craft. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a quality cup and a genuinely good experience.

The location is convenient and I appreciated the small but efficient parking lot they had. The shop almost looks like an Airbnb by a beach or someone's house. I like it and thought the aesthetics were cool. I only ordered a mobile London fog and was impressed. Not sweet at all but had a strong yet tasty tea flavor. Service is superb. Would love to visit again.

Getting afternoon tea together has become an annual holiday tradition with this friend (and some of our other friends), so it was great to continue this tradition at Mocatinas! The cafe is somewhat small, but they still have good seating in there. We made a reservation in advance for the tea experience, and I recommend that you do so if you plan to dine in for tea. They had not yet started their holiday-themed tea, but it was fine as they had some holiday decor (a pink Christmas tree!) already set up, so it felt festive in there. For the tea, we ordered the Strawberry Champagne Oolong. Though it has "champagne" in the name, this isn't alcoholic. It was a very sweet and delicious tea. We also ordered a pot of the Earl Grey Lavender, which was also very delicious! Our afternoon tea experience came with the traditional three-tiered tea stand, with macarons, tea sandwiches (cucumber, etc.), scones, butter, jam pastries, and petit fours. Our tea also came with a pre-course dish comprised of a small grilled cheese pastry and a small tomato soup. Everything was delicious! We had an excellent experience here. Service was friendly and efficient and very attentive. I will certainly visit again!

Upstairs has plenty of seating. There's toys available to play with the cats. Almost all are friendly and playful. If you love cats and coffee this is the spot.

Walk-in's are welcome, but I wanted to ensure we could come at the time we wanted. Parking was a but limited, but available early when they opened. The shop owner was so kind and was very thorough. She was hospitable and walked us upstairs to the cat room, introducing us to the cats and telling us about each of their personalities. The cats are all rescues looking for a forever home. What a great way to introduce them to people! There were tons of toys to use to interact and play with the cats. There was a basket of combs and some really enjoyed being brushed. They had several bowls of food and water and were very well take care of. The warm cookie was delish and tea and coffee were also available. Upon leaving there are lint rollers available because cat hair is inevitable; however, the cat area was very clean and tidy! The air purifiers helped, especially because the doors couldn't be opened in the winter. There is a screened in balcony I assume can be used in better weather. My daughter loved this place and wants to go back! While the experience was a bit pricey, I know it's going toward a good cause.
