Sidekick Coffee and Books is one of my favorite places in the world. I have been coming since they opened, and as time goes on, it just gets better and better. The coffee is the BEST.

Great coffee, awesome books, relaxing atmosphere. They have coffee flights. A new favorite spot to hang out.
We love the kid-friendly space (the kids love the reading nooks and the train table)! Can’t say enough good things about how the staff interacted with my overly friendly toddler who was very insistent he get a “firefighter tea”. He gave very positive reviews of his steamed milk!
Coffee flights, ice cream, and a sunny play space. Such a blessing to have in our community!
