South Side Coffee - Cinnamon toast crunch Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lompoc, California

Walked by this place so I ended up dropping in and trying it out! It looks pretty cute and quirky inside and out. The workers were very sweet and kind. They answered the questions that I had and had great knowledge of the menu. Other than that, the drinks themselves were not that great. The chai was okay but nothing special kinda tasted a little watery . My husband got the Cinnamon Toast Crunch Iced Coffee and he did not like it at all. How opinion was that it was too sweet and he only had a few sips of it before throwing it away. The vibes were good. The people were nice. The inside does need some regular maintenance that would just help with the overall look. The drinks were just subpar. read more

South Side Coffee - Fancy shmancy bagel with lox - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lompoc, California

We stop by South Side Coffee every year we are in Lonpic for AIDS/Lifecycle. The coffee, fancy-smancy toasts, and service is always top-rate. For this final AIDS lifecycle ride (), we had the almond milk lattes, which are delish as always. They use unsweetened almond milk so you can add sweetener to your taste. I had the pesto fancy-smanchie toast and it's sooooo good! Comes on a lovely multi-grain bread with not-to-much cream cheese, pesto (of course!), tomatoes, arugula, and two perfectly cooked soft-boiled eggs. My friend had the breakfast toast without the bacon, but comes with eggs, cheddar, and avocado. She said it was yum! She also had a yogurt parfait with berries. If you are in Lompoc--stop by! And support the local artists who sell goods on the honor system using Venmo and PayPal to accept your payment. read more

South Side Coffee is hands down one of my favorite spots in town. The coffee is always great, and their breakfast sandwiches are delicious. I also love that they have energy drinks and other options besides coffee--it's a nice change-up when I want something different. The upstairs area is cozy and open, such a perfect spot to hang out or get a little work done. What really makes this place stand out, though, are the people. The employees are super friendly, and they often remember your name, which makes it feel extra welcoming. It's such a great little coffee shop with a true small-town community vibe. Way better than the big chain alternatives; it has character and heart. read more

South Side Coffee - Blueberry Cobbler Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lompoc, California

Cool spot in Lompoc. Great vibes and good eats. That sun-dried bagel was fire ! I will definitely make multiple stops when I pass through!

I had Southside Coffee bookmarked for a while, since I live near Lompoc, but just got around to coming! The first thing I noted about the menu was how many options there are. I love the various flavors available. Naturally I needed a little bit of guidance so I asked the cashier for some and she was really nice and helpful. I ended up opting for a matcha latte and added lavender cold foam (I believe the cold foam is seasonal!) and a simple breakfast sandwich on a plain bagel. I sat at a nearby table and my drink came out a couple of minutes later. I sipped on it for a bit while waiting for my bagel. It was so delicious! I'm a fan of lavender drinks and the cold foam definitely hit the mark. The matcha isn't sweet but it wasn't bitter. I tend to order matcha lattes without syrup anyway so paired with the cold foam it was a perfect balance -- not too sweet! After a few minutes, my bagel sandwich came out. It was really good! It was hot and fresh. It came with some hot sauce packets so it was everything I could've asked for. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience and will definitely be back! read more

South Side Coffee - Matcha latte with lavender cold foam!! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lompoc, California

I was pretty surprised when I walked into South Side Coffee. I rarely ever make the trip to downtown Lompoc unless I REALLY have to. Unfortunately, Cups and Crumbs are closed until further notice, so I had to find myself another coffee shop to pick up my daily dose of caffeine. The store is SO cute and cozy. It was definitely not what I was expecting before I walked in. The workers were very friendly and helped me with my order. The food was surprisingly very tasty! I really liked how crispy the bacon was on my avocado toast read more

South Side Coffee - Avacado Toast - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lompoc, California

This place is pretty good for coffee and specialty drinks. They have Italian ice, blended drinks (like Frappuccinos), coffee, and Red Bull infusions. The food is pretty good- it does seem they only have a microwave and an air fryer to make it. I enjoyed the avocado toast and the bacon was pretty good. The upstairs loft is a nice place to sit and enjoy your food/drink. It overlooks the street and has some comfy seating. The ceiling is a little short, so if you go up there, be careful not to bump your head. The staff are really nice and the only bad experience I've had here was coffee in a drink that wasn't supposed to have coffee. I have been coming to South Side Coffee for years, and will keep coming back! read more

This place is wayyyyy cute! We came up to Lompoc from Santa Barbara for sky diving and had some time to kill so we looked up coffee shops in the area and found this place! Simply put, it's magical It's homey, comfy, friendly, had that perfect coffee shop ambience, and great prices. We sat upstairs in the little nook with tables, sofas and windows and enjoyed some hot chocolate, which was deliciously chocolaty by the way. We brought our own food for breakfast since we were expecting to eat real quick before the jump, but then when we came in we couldn't resist all the goodies and pastries. I wish I could take this place back with me to where we live so I could come here regularly to work on papers, hang with friends, play cards with my boo or just enjoy a good cup of Joe and relax. read more

The cutest most fun place. It has breakfast choices that I like, oatmeal with fruit, bagels with vegetables, soups too. The service is always great and the staff is friendly, its a vibe. The whole place has a warm coffee house feeling and on Sunday morning they open tue doors to the music store next door and kids play instruments. A comfy mid century seating area feels super homey. Highly reccomended. read more

I appreciate the indy vibes but DAMN, the cashier was rude as hell!! This woman actually made me repeat myself three times. Please note: coffee was still wrong. I ordered an avocado toast and paid $10 for the shriveled heel of the bread. I just can't. Petite, dark haired girl with fake lashes and irritated look, get a new job. read more

While in the area, we desperately needed coffee and ran into this cafe. We were not expecting the feeling of community from the artwork on the walls, the flyers for community events, and the dogs happily being inside and out of the cafe; it was good vibes. We had a Cynthia latte and a caramel brulee with an extra shot that despite the shot was a bit too sweet. I still enjoyed the taste. Would definitely recommend if you have time to sit down and grab a bite too as the food looked good! read more

Really nice spot to grab early morning coffee and lunch to go, my main Lompoc option pre-6am. Love their veggie sandwich and the drip coffee is good. Great service. My only quibble is that the to-go containers are plastic and styrofoam, and would be nice to have a more biodegradable option. read more

Met up here yesterday for a meeting and it was the perfect spot for a gathering! The parking was a little challenging, but it was definitely a busy Saturday morning. They have seating options inside and outside. Their menu is pretty extensive and they even had seasonal items. The iced matcha was delicious. Food is brought out to your table, if eating in. I'm a big fan of this spot! read more

I don't like to leave negative reviews. Normally I would just throw everything in the trash, never go back and leave it at that. but this place is the dirties smelliest dump of a resteraunt I have ever been to. It is filthy. When I first opened the door the smell of mold and dirt hit me hard, there is zero pride of ownership in this business. The coffee was average, not bad but not anything I would go back for, the breakfast went straight in the trash. The eggs tasted like powdered eggs, it was awful. The service was average as well, no smiles and the food took way to long to get out. It is also incredibly overpriced for a place that should be condemned. Seriously Lompoc! 4.2 stars!! read more

Stopped by to support a local coffee spot , Cashier was rude and acted like we were bothering her to place an order ! Should have gone to DB or SB! Last time spending $ here ! read more

South Side Coffee Co was a cute shop where I was able to have a light breakfast and work on my homework. I loved the atmosphere. Very cute, quaint, and colorful. I would've loved for the food menu to be up on the board as well. I felt a little panicked when I got to the register because I didn't want to hold up the line while I decided on what food I wanted. Overall, I really enjoyed this coffee shop. I love supporting local businesses over chains, so I'll definitely be back to work on more homework in the future! read more

Do you like coffee, snacks, sandwiches, gluten free options, and supporting a locally owned business? Yes, Yes, Yes and Yes! This place is the nucleus of our adorable little town. Go visit Halle and crew and I promise you'll always see a friendly face, and you'll get to walk out with a smile, hammerhead, and a nice panini...!! Yum! read more

What a gem! I got a cortado with a dash of vanilla and an avocado toast. Everything was perfect. I worked in the upstairs balcony with French windows overlooking old town for two hours listening to space X interviews and chess lessons. This is my new favorite when I venture to Lompoc! read more

I can't get enough of this place! From the very first experience (about 100 drinks ago) until now, there hasn't been anything but exceptional service and the best quality foods/drinks. Their sandwiches are totally made with love, but you could probably already assume that by the genuine care expressed for the entire community within the shop! Halle is always creating new, unique ways to support the local community, which I find is incredibly respectable to see a business owner partake in. The drinks are crafted with the best products and the food is absolutely to die for!! You won't find anything on the menu that will disappoint! read more

Let me start off by saying I've only been here twice. Once as a potential customer about 3 years ago. The experience wasn't great, the food looked tasty and exciting, however I didn't feel welcomed. I felt lost unsure where to order or who even worked there. I figured cause it was busy I might've been judging harshly. So I left and went to Starbucks instead it thinking too much about it. Today I came as a delivery service driver and I came in with an open mind and quite optimistic hoping this place would be better today cause I liked the idea and the menu always sounded tasty. Well I go in and I wait behind the couple ordering and it wasn't busy so I was okay with the wait. Usually businesses have a designated area where you can pick up orders and are pretty visible so you don't have to bother the busy employees. Others are afraid of thieves so you have to ask them cause they'll have the order behind the counter. I figured it was one of the businesses that were afraid of thievery so I waited behind the customers ordering. Waited like 5 mins so I went to where the drinks come out and was trying to make eye contact with the barista to ask for my order. She was obviously trying not to make eye contact with me. So I went back to wait behind the customers. Finally It was my turn and I said nicely with a smile on my face "hi I have a order for (so&so)" and the young woman looked at me and said. "When orders are done they go in the back" no hi or smile or anything just a cold tone as though I bothered her. So I figured whatever maybe she's having a bad day and I go to find the orders in the back and the order is incomplete. Usually by the time we get the order to pick it up it's expected to be done. I was a little disappointed but kept a positive attitude and went back to the not so inviting young lady and let her know the order isn't complete. The order I had to package myself which is considered unsanitary and unsafe due to some other delivery employees stealing from orders. She let me know in a stern tone that "the drinks will be back there when they are done". I was like okay lol whatever I even chuckled to myself holding myself back to not reciprocate the rudeness I was sensing. I went to the back and finally took in the ambience of the place. I forgot to mention when I first walked into the shop it's an overwhelming smell of coffee and an underlying smell of fecal matter. I looked around and noticed the place did not come off as vintage cute but came off as vintage old. Everything looked outdated and dusty. The employees were hard to identify cause they weren't wearing anything that showed they worked there. Not even a simple name tag. And watching the employees behind the counter was like watching the sloths that work at the dmv from the kids movie "zootopia " absolutely no pep in their step, no smiles except for when the flamboyant man was gossiping about something completely unrelated to work. Very depressing. Even down to the dusty retro furby toy dying in the corner. This place lacks leadership and morale. Like I said before I really wanted to like this place. But not even me at my most relaxed and at peace mindset could I get over the rudeness of the employees and the lack of leadership in this business place. The customers were lost unsure what to do with their plates and one of the employees annoyedly directed them what to do with their mess and not just taking the task on themself. The only thing that was good that came out of this place was the other delivery service driver I met and bonded over the terribly slow service. She let me know this was 1 of the two places she hates taking orders from. Finally I got my order and got nasty looks and sighs as the young lady I initially spoke with finally filled out my order as soon as she felt she had the time. I left before the other delivery service driver even though she had been waiting 10+ minutes longer than me. If you have nothing to do all day besides sitting at a coffee shop I'd recommend this one as long as you're sitting outside and don't mind sub par customer service. :) read more

Excellent!! Had the best iced coffee with honey in a cute coffee shop. The staff were so nice too. Will definitely be back when I visit Lompoc again. read more

Just wanted to eat. $8 for ONE slice of Nutella toast is actually insane . Jacked up prices...

Seasonal offerings on iced and hot coffee drinks, along with their popular favorites. Local business that support other local businesses with products for purchase inside this vintage coffee shop. Also has a small upstairs. Service was a 3-there were enough staff so not sure what took a bit long for a plain bagel with cream cheese on the side. read more

Visit this coffee shop recently ordered a jalapeno bagel with cream cheese and a regular cup of coffee sat down and reviewed some of my cases. I kept smelling a weird smell sort of fishy and musky, I just about got sick when I figured the smell was coming from the little white plate they delivered my bagel on I imagine the young girls they have working thier need to be sanitary trained to wash those dishes correct. I also witnessed they take back the cup you drank out of for refills (unsanitary) and use the same spoon to stir with for everyone with out being washed kinda gross. The place is real cute I love to support local businesses. I do feel this place could be way more sanitary. And customer service could improve too the young short brown head girl was not so friendly when I handed the plate back to her and explained the situation. read more

Such a cute shop, and they had matcha and coffee flights so we had to try! We were lucky enough to come in when someone was playing live guitar, and it was such a lovely and wholesome atmosphere.

This is our go to for a lazy Sunday morning! Kiev their avocado toast and they have nice lattes! Quick service and quirky decor.

I headed to SouthSide Coffee for a quick Americano. Little did I realize was the plethora of art and inspiration in these four walls. I was greeted by one of the employees. I barely heard them. I was mesmerized by the heartfelt art work adorning the walls. I settled on a flat white, breve, and no foam. Just enough caffeine to get me to lunch. The prices are average but the hospitality is worth so much more. Grab some sweet treats on you way out. Or settle at a table and find someone to play chess with. Enjoy, and stay caffinated! read more

South Side Coffee - Menu - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lompoc, California

3 stars for the wonderful service and being one of the very few places to grab coffee in Lompoc. The cafe itself is a bit worn, cozy, but in definite need of a upgrade. Menu is extensive, we kept it simple with two dark chocolate mochas (since I did not want Hershey's syrup) and while they were tasty, it wasn't much more than a hot chocolate. It is the best place for coffee in town, but really only because there is no competition. read more

This is the most emblematic establishment for Lompoc, and it really sold us on moving to the South Side when we decided to live here. Full marks for service and food. Hangout environment is hard to beat. Could spend hours here chatting or reading a book if I were so inclined. When it comes to food, they sometimes run out of this or that but I take it as a sign to try something new. Or wake up earlier. Maybe. read more
