What People Are Saying
from Google & Yelp"I love exploring coffee spots. The coffee here is not only good, but also fun. Came here three times and each time I experienced very distinctive tasting notes. Staff have been quite friendly and willing to explain."
"The most unique specialty coffee experience you will come across. Such a wide array of specialty coffee from all over the world, I love the co-ferments. The presentation of the coffee is super special and different. Highly recommend!"
"This was the best little coffee shop. They had locally sourced, grass fed breakfast options. The avocado toast was amazing. I added an egg and it was the perfect start to the day. The coffee was delicious and way better than any big box."
"Too bad I ate my food before I can take a picture of it. Hate it when I do that. Food is bómbice i had the mini breakfast bacon sandwich with an iced vanilla late. They take their time, love their craft and make a damn good coffee. The vibe and music choice makes a great atmosphere for getting some laptop work done."
"Burnside Coffee Bar is a unique entry into the 916's crowded coffehouse scene. Picture a craft cocktail bar, but make it beans. This place stirs science, flavor, and precision into every cup like it’s a chemistry final you actually want to pass. Pick your beans and watch the magic unfold. Or you can sip a flight like you're wine tasting. And you probably want to! The flavors are wild, from Melon Creamsicle to Bubble Yum. BUT. If you roll up with a Dutch Bros sugar bomb or a drive-thru frappe mood, keep driving. Burnside’s drinks are slow-crafted with surgical precision — which means yes, there might be a wait, and no, there’s no unicorn caramel whipped rainbow nonsense here. The menu? Not exactly beginner-friendly, but the staff’s chill and ready to guide you through your bean awakening. The vibe is a little cyberpunk dorm room with a side of goth. Not the coziest or most aesthetic, but you’re not here for the furniture — you’re here for the flavor alchemy. And flavor? Burnside delivers. If you’re a true coffee snob (or aspire to be), this is your new pilgrimage site. How I break down my ⭐️ reviews: 1 - No. Not if it was the last thing on DoorDash. 🗑️ 2 - Meh. Maybe if I’m desperate, close, and high. 😬 3 - Mid. Not texting the group chat about it. 🤷♀️ 4 - Hella solid. Planning my next visit. 😋 5 - Shut up and take my money. Om Nom Nom. 🔥"
"I'll be honest up front and say that my review is based entirely on one espresso and an extended conversation with the owner, Bob, on some really geeky..."
