The flavors will rotate. This weekend they’re serving French vanilla and local organic strawberry. Other flavors in the works include mocha caramel, wildberry creme fraiche, and red velvet.
How does it taste? Very good. The creaminess is definitely a notch or two above your standard dining hall soft serve machine. We recommend getting the swirl.
We’re told someone pulled a snatch-and-dash larceny earlier today at Northside Social in Clarendon. Someone apparently had their iPhone sitting out on a table when an unknown male grabbed it and ran.
Police were called. No word on whether they’ve been able to locate a suspect.
The reception is open to the public. It’s taking place between 7:00 and 9:00 p.m.

On Saturday night, with the smell of fresh paint mixing with the aroma of espresso beans, Northside Social opened for a private pre-opening celebration.
It was a chance for the new neighborhood hangout to show off some of its well-curated wine and beer selections, as well as a few items from the food menu. It was also a chance for employees of Northside Social and Liberty Tavern — both co-owned by brothers Mark and Stephen Fedorchak — to step back, take a breather, and marvel at the fruits of their labor.
Management had initially hoped to open up earlier in the week but they’re facing one last regulatory hurdle, according to co-owner Stephen Fedorchak.
In case you’re having a hard time waiting for the grand openening, you can get a glimpse of Northside’s menu or check out their Facebook page.
The highly-anticipated coffee and wine bar is now planning to open on Wednesday, March 31, as the owners await a water filtration system for the espresso machine.
We’re working on getting photos of the newly-finished interior.
Construction is taking place at a furious pace at the old Murky Coffee building. When we arrived after the short walk from Northside’s big brother, Liberty Tavern, general manager Alison Christ was surprised to see a chandelier already installed on the second floor, which the wine bar will call home.
On the first floor the makings of the coffee bar were coming together. Christ, formerly the sommelier at Willow Restaurant in Ballston, said the centerpiece of the store — a top-of-the-line espresso machine — was in the process of being flown in from Italy.
