Delicious drinks and helpful staff. They had plenty of space inside and outside to sit. I was there for over an hour drinking coffee and reading my book.

I love everything about Sidewinder! I got a latte today and a turkey and Swiss croissant. The baristas are so talented. My drink was top notch. I love the art that is available for sale on the walls. There were a few pieces today that really were beautiful, in my opinion.

Rich coffee with great flavors and nice seating in the back! The decor is a bit drab for socializing but great to focus and get work done. The honey cardamom latte was not too sweet but had a nice flavor and creaminess

Northside's gem for coffee. Dog friendly in the lobby, tons of choices, AND happy hour (Yes! Make that coffee boozy, baby!). They have food options and will heat up a breakfast burrito just for you. Glad to have this joint in walking distance!

I have such a soft spot for Sidewinder and I'm not entirely clear why. Or why I've never reviewed them. It's a lovely little spot, lots of choices of tea and coffee. And seasonal teas! They almost always have gluten and dairy free snack options which is a great source of delight for me. Recently I had a piece of gluten and dairy free cheese cake that was basically heaven. And the folks who work there are always really personable. I love the rotating art, the people who go there are interesting and the location is really convenient. Parking is easy. Street and lot parking are very readily available. If I was a frequent coffee shop visitor, this would be high on my list of coffee shops in heavy rotation.

My nephew invited me to join him for coffee at Sidewinder Coffee. This was an establishment that I had never heard of before. Now that I have been there I highly recommend it for quick meetings. The atmosphere is comfortable, well lit, and they play music. (Jazz at first and then metal. I asked if they could return to jazz and thankfully, they did.) The coffee was delicious, hot, and could be flavored with various additives and creamers. If you are in Northside and want to enjoy coffee and conversation, the Sidewinder is just the place!

When I traveled to Cincinnati I had to stop by this coffee shop and wow! They are amazing! The service is very friendly. The coffee shop decor is beautiful and I love that they have a backyard. Not only that but I also love that they have books in the backroom for consumers to read while enjoying their coffee. But let's get down to the real reason why we are here...coffee! The coffee is absolutely delicious! Coming from NYC, you appreciate local business and this is definitely one to visit when visiting Cincinnati. It had been a few months since my visit to Cin City and I was missing Sidewinder's coffee. So I made an online order and was glad my order was delivered really fast. I can't wait to visit Cincinnati again!

The inside.

This morning we tried another coffee shop. Sidewinder had a nice choice of flavored lattes. We had gingerbread & Pumpkin Spice as our choices. Both tasted pretty good. We sat in a back room where there was one questionable man who kept uttering outbursts. That kind of dampened the mood.

Spicy or sweet. What do you like to add to your drink?
Elyse F.

The staff was extremely welcoming and friendly. We were greeted both upon entry, and again when we left. We ventured in to Sidewinder because our next engagement was not open yet, and one of my children needed to use the restroom. Not wanting to use their facilities without making a purchase, I ordered their famous Mexican latte. It was everything everyone says it is. The same spices that go into the latte, as well as cream/milks, and various sweeteners are available near the door. Sweetener include syrups. Sidewinder is more than a coffee shop. Both vegan and non-vegan baked goods are stocked in both savory and sweet. Soups and sandwiches are also available. Their selection is perfect for a quick breakfast or lunch. The atmosphere is also comfortable enough to stay for a bit. Exposed brick gives this coffee shop so much character. It also serves as a great backdrop for all the art. The art is in fact for sale. Sidewinder allows you to drink locally roasted coffee while enjoying local art. Coloring books and games are available for use in the back room.

White chocolate mocha (Large) and wifi info!
Mia S.

One of the best white mochas I've had in a while and i make it a mission to try new places on the regular. Super cute place, lots of seating in the back area, as well as a courtyard area with outdoor seating for warm weather! They have free wifi and a nice variety of board games to occupy your time! Prices are very decent and the food servings are surprisingly large for the price! My roommate got the hummus sandwich and loved it, a very hearty portion with fresh ingredients and a side of hen of the woods chips! (Not pictured, sorry) I will definitely be back again!

Regular Coffee And Vegan Bahama Bar

Sidewinder Coffee is a great independent coffee shop in the Northside area. It has little seating inside so you probably will be taking it to go. There's a big coffee menu. It's hard to make a choice. They also have a food menu. I had a regular coffee and a vegan Bahama bar. It's about $3 for a regular size coffee. The coffee tastes so fresh without the burnt flavor like that chain that's everywhere. It also has some alcohol. That's something you don't see often. I liked the the vegan Bahama bar. This had chocolate chips and coconuts, but it still wasn't overly sweet. It also has other heavier food items. There's a black bean burger for those willing to wait. If they had more seating room this would be even better. It's just a small coffee shop that serves mostly coffee. They do have food but it's rare to see anyone order.

Chocolate chip scone and large latte.
Monica H.

I met up with a coworker at Sidewinder around 9am this week. I've been to the Northside joint to pick up a quick coffee before but had never had anything to eat or ventured into their back room or patio. I got a table near an outlet. There were plenty of tables at this time but by noon came around, almost every seat was taken. I ordered a large latte and chocolate chip scone. The scones were wrapped in plastic at the front of the counter and the barista offered to heat it up for me! It was a decent size and actually pretty filling. My latte was topped with foam art and was delicious. The large was pretty big and I wasn't even able to finish it all. Sidewinder definitely has a cool Northside vibe and I enjoyed staying and working there for about 3-4 hours. I'm looking forward to nicer weather to sit out on the back patio some time.

Do they have oat milk?

While this hipster question is in good company, I believe they only have cow, almond and soy milks.

Two Seven Two - Bakery items

Two Seven Two

(44 reviews)

Incredible! After a rainy but successful trip to the season's last Hyde Park farmer market, we…read moredecided to check out one of the bakeries on my "want to try" list: Two Seven Two, in Clifton. I'm so glad we did! It was amazing. The shop is quite small and bustling on a Sunday morning. The baked goods are displayed mouthwateringly behind glass, nicely labeled. I do not think it would be possible to leave with just one item -- so many delicious-looking sweet and savory options, and so well crafted. We choose a pecan sticky bun (the last one in the case - ha! Sorry, people behind us, you didn't get to experience that caramelly flavor with the salt flake zings!), a s'mores morning bun (the delicate chocolate filling didn't over power and the whipped creamy topping were perfect) an apricot shortbread cookie (literally melts in your mouth!), and a kimchi danish (not me - my daughter picked that one and loved it). They were all superb, worth having a conversation about! We also had drinks - iced vanilla latte and a seasonal apple cider with cold foam -- also very tasty. There were a couple of tables inside, a couple outside. It's a popular place so consider yourself lucky if you snag a spot. We took ours to go, walking past a line of folks waiting their turn to drool at the glass. We ordered inside, got our pastries boxed up, then went outside to wait for our drinks to be delivered by the barista through a handy sidewalk-facing window. Street parking available and a lot nearby but I'm not sure if it's a public lot. We parked on the street right out front.

One of my joys while on vacation is to visit local bakeries and try a variety of baked goods…read more The Cincinnati zoo is close by and they allow outside food and drinks. As such, we stopped by on a Thursday morning to pick up a few pastries for our zoo visit. We went with the basics, croissant and pain au chocolate. Both items were fresh, buttery, and flakey. We inhaled them. There were a few other notable items that I would love to return and try: peach jam and fig leaf pastry cream bun and burnt honey Swiss with peach jam shortbread.
