Parkside Coffee

Atmosphere- local business in the revitalized area of Merchant Street. Neat coffee hangout with an array of seating choices- from chairs to a sofa to church pews. Books available for you to relax and read. Loved the painting of the barista cat on the wall and the rustic old wooded floor. Service- 4 stars- counter service- friendly employees- they claim to be veteran owned but the girl was not sure if they offered veterans discount. Would be nice if they do. Order was quickly made. Food- 4 stars- I got the Blueberry Cobbler Iced Latte. Was very good- creamy and smooth with a hint of blueberry which I thought was well done- glad it wasn’t an over whelming blueberry flavor. Would like to visit again and try one of their bagels.

Parkside is an absolute treasure of a place! They have fantastic coffee and other drinks, cute and clever ideas for different theme drinks, a yummy little selection of food and baked goods, and Parkside overall has a cozy, welcoming environment. The best part though are all of the employees! They are beyond welcoming, kind, remember you once you've been there, and melt your heart with how thoughtful, caring, and friendly they are with children.

My son and I have been hoping for a good eastside coffee shop... This is it! There are lots of specialty options to choose from. It's a nice atmosphere with a few unique tchotchkes to keep it interesting. The staff was friendly, upbeat, and fun 😁 My hot latte wasn't very hot, next time I will request for the cream to be hotter before they add it... I also wish that they had some bakery items or sandwiches besides bagels (I was hungry.. lol). Maybe they can collab with Bonnie Bells or Great Harvest Bakery🤞Anyways, I hope that Fairmont supports them - I'm a fan!

Very awesome shop. The vibes are great. Laid back sweet staff. I have only had the bagels and they are good. Just a personal issue. I am kinda set back that the prices aren't listed. It makes it hard to know what you will pay when ordering. It would be helpful to have on display. But staff is happy to let you know price if you ask.

A coffee shop is my natural habitat. I like this one just fine. I take my friend for a latte sometimes on Saturday afternoons and we find that the coffee is fine, the atmosphere is congenial and we can chat awhile.
