"Loved the place. It’s hardly half a mile after crossing the border. Good place to take a break after a long queue at the border. We went for a coffee, cappuccino, veggie omelette bowl and an apple walnut salad. They, unfortunately, ran out of walnuts, so it was substituted by pecans. Everything was great. Loved the omelette and the salad. Salad would have been better with arugula and spinach instead of lettuce though. The staff were nice and friendly. Nice clean place. There is street parking outside and a parking lot across the street. Definitely recommended!"

"I love having this coffee shop as a local option. Their iced latte options and chai are fantastic, and the food (when available) has always been delicious thanks to the partnership with Delicious Beauty Café. That said, the management side feels a little inconsistent. Both the café and kitchen open at 7:30am, which makes it tough for work commutes. Often only one barista is on in the mornings, so there can be a wait right at opening. Food is hit or miss depending on whether the kitchen staff shows up on time (or at all), and it doesn’t seem like the baristas are kept in the loop. This has happened on several occasions, today being one. More robust online ordering for food would also be a great improvement. Despite these challenges, the baristas are always warm and kind — I’ll never forget my first visit as a new mom after dropping my daughter off for school for the first time. The baristas were so kind and made me feel welcome. The products are excellent, and I truly hope the new owners are working on smoothing out the operations, because this spot has so much potential."

"I’ve tried to come here multiple times, and never once have I had a good experience. I’ve been a barista for 7 years so I know what I latte should taste like, it’s not very hard to mess up. But somehow each time it just gets worse and worse. The one I just tried from them tasted like syrup and cheep almond milk. The women they have working the counter are always rude and unhelpful. I came in originally to buy a bag of coffee for someone as a gift *which I will now not be giving* and the woman at the counter rolled her eyes multiple times when I was trying to decide on what roast. She offered no suggestions or help with anything & made me feel incredibly uncomfortable. There was no one else in line, & it wasn’t busy at the time, but as soon as i got there she made me feel like i was an inconvenience for her. Also while waiting for my coffee I noticed the suffering beta fish they seem to always have on display at the counter. Animal abuse isn’t great for business, it’s quite disgusting to see. I will not be returning here. The vibe is very middle age republican mom, & their “baristas” should not be serving coffee or working in customer service in general. I’m sure they believe they’re doing great because of the easy to please people in the north country and loyal elderly regulars, but their service is truly quite sad."

"They roast their own coffee right here, and have fair-trade options. Muffins are yummy. Open floor plan, really pleasant atmosphere, friendly staff and owners! Feels like home :-) I didn't eat here but saw the sandwiches they were bringing out, and the looked yummy and we're enormous!"

"Still Awesome On my bicycle rides around the northern part of the lake, I've been stopping at Lakeside Coffee for more than ten years. I usually get the turkey gobbler sandwich . . . this time on panini - outstanding. The dark roast coffee was excellent. Bathrooms clean. The staff and Management are most welcoming. And for cyclists there is a bike rack in front and picnic tables across the street."
