Trackside Coffee

Hopped off at my last stop for some Trackside Coffee on Thursday. Got an iced coffee with praline, cinnamon and cold foam on my way out of town, with some friends, and met Kate…She's like barista meets bartender meets therapist; kind and patient, multitasking with pazzaz while offering tasty suggestions and working like there's two of her, all while talking shop. We felt right at home on our first visit, and it was the cozy feel and cool decor you expect from a local, family-owned java spot. Coffee was rich and flavorful, cold foam was a nice touch and the sweetness of the praline wasn't overpowering. Always prefer to eat, shop and support local. They even have one of those reward punch cards you can stack up some free brews with.

My hunt for local coffee places as a NJ transplant continues and trackside was on my short list. Definitely not what I expected. Very small unassuming place next to a laundromat. And, indeed, right next to the train tracks! Not a conventional place where you pick drinks off a menu. I asked for suggestions and wound up with a really amazing iced latte with a little bit of chocolate and peanut butter syrup. The barista was super proud of everything there. She knew where the bagels were from and where they got their beans. A really local place. Oh and a jukebox in the corner! Next time I'm in Hazleton I'll definitely be returning?

First time visiting and wow! The coffee is delicious! They have an extensive menu of flavors and options. The breakfast sandwiches are so good. The bagels & croissant are fresh & flavorful. The iced mocha latte was great too. Most of all, the owner was so welcoming & friendly. Highly recommend checking them out!

The coffee is delicious and they have the best barista! She is so friendly and helpful. She really is the best!

This place is handsome down the best. Awesome coffee, wonderful breakfast sandwiches and the BEST service. Kait is fast, accurate, and so friendly, always such a positive attitude.
