Best coffee shop in Bridgeport! Very reasonably priced with great coffee and plenty of seating and outlets. Quiet, ambiance music and lots of natural light makes it a great place to study. Their donuts are amazing, even late into the afternoon they taste fresh and are perfectly matched with a coffee.

I came over to the UK to visit some friends for a bit and we happened upon this cafe during one of our days out. I absolutely loved the vibe, the menu and the care of the staff! I’m kind of a picky coffee drinker and the barista was really kind to chat with me through all the options and make recommendations. I loved this place so much we went back 4 times over my stay! Coffee, tea, breakfast and lunch - everything I had was superb’ 10/10 recommend!

One of our neighborhood cafes, I come here at least once a month. We’ve tried everything from their chai to other teas to cold brew to lattes. The coffees and teas are all fairly priced and delicious (they know their stuff), the hot food is high quality albeit a bit pricey. I see why though, their breakfast bagels are stuffed and super filling, they’d even work for lunch. But their drinks are at least comparably priced to the area, with some being surprisingly cheaper. The atmosphere is lovely and the staff are friendly, straightforward, but not coffee shop pretentious (if you know what I mean). It’d be a good place to work or study. I wish they were open a little earlier and closed a little later, maybe sometime in the future they’ll expand their hours.

The coffee is great! The espresso drinks are nice and strong. They serve Sputnick coffee, which I really enjoy. The space there is very welcoming. It's large, open, well decorated, and I love the plants! Additional pluses are you can play Pokémon Go in there, there's free wifi, and there's a lot of nice art in the hallways and all over inside and outside the place. Everyone there was super friendly, and they really knew how to make coffee drinks. Now, the Cuban sandwich I wasn't impressed with. It was basically like a grilled ham n cheese with jalapeños and pickled onions. It wasn't what I hoped for, but it wasn't terrible. It did come with a delicious side pickle and chips. There's loads of free parking in a great big lot. And the bathrooms are very clean.

I have been coming here since they opened. The layout of the shop is open and bright, with art decorating the walls and a variety of music playing in the background. They have a variety of amazing sandwiches and other delicious items. Paul, James, and the entire rest of the staff are always friendly and quick to take your order with a smile.

This is my first time writing a review. Had ten minutes to spare so I thought I’d get a bagel.Bagel was over $6. I waited ten minutes while the staff talked to each other. There were no customers waiting other than me - it was pretty empty. I checked in on my bagel and they hadn’t started it yet. I had to leave before the bagel was ready, unfortunately..It’s a cool location with nice decor - could improve re: prices & quality of service. There’s not any competition in the area so that’s probably why they can make the prices so high.
