When visiting a new city, one of my favorite things to do is trying new cafes/coffee spots. Bad Owl Coffee Roasters did not disappoint. I ordered at hot roasted almond latte and my boyfriend got the oat-chata latte. We both shared the Bridgeport burrito with avocado and breakfast croissant with tots. The coffee was amazing! The roasted almond latte reminded me of my childhood and was pleasantly surprised by the little almonds in the latte. It was perfect and wished I got the bigger size. If you're a fan of almond, you should definitely try! The oat-chata latte was fantastic too. I'm not a big fan of oat milk, but it went great with all the other ingredients. It really did taste like horchata coffee! I wish Bad Owl was back home for me because I would be here all the time. Food wise, it was standard. A bit pricy for what you get, but no complaints when it comes to the taste of the food.You can tell this place is loved by many. I saw so many people of different ages and ordering different types of coffee drinks.If I'm back in the city, I will be coming back! They have so many coffee options that are unique.

I really liked this coffee shop. I stopped here on the recommendation of a good friend of mine who used to live down the street. This shop is super bright and sophisticated. My friend told me it was Harry Potter themed, and I guess it has a very light HP theme (there's a small giclée of Hermione, Harry, and Ron on the wall, as well as a drink called Butterbrew, and owls. But I'd say the theme is more owls than HP (and I approve of that too because I like owls!).Honestly I had too many choices, and I couldn't decide. So for two people I ended up with four drinks so we could try a variety: a pumpkin chai latte, stardust lemonade, and two butter brews, one with espresso. Because I don't know literally anything about coffee I didn't realize that when they said the Butterbrew didn't come with espresso that meant it was coffee-free (I thought it didn't come with espresso, but instead had another type of coffee). It's SO unusual to visit a coffee shop that makes a non-coffee drink that's not a chai latte, hot chocolate, or lemonade, so the fact that one of their specialty drinks is NOT a coffee drink propels this shop into my top coffee shops immediately. And the Butterbrew was delicious! I like that it's also a drink that kids could have. The pumpkin chai was also quite delicious as well. The stardust lemonade was the most striking visually, but it was not quite as good as I'd hoped since it didn't have much lemonade taste. It was just okay.I also ordered a couple sandwiches, which is where the slight disappointment came in. One was for someone who doesn't eat cheese and I ordered it without both cheese and mayo. The barista who rang it up repeated it to me and it was correct. However, it was not made correctly and had both mayo and cheese on it. I had a bite and it was good, but the person for whom I bought it wasn't able to eat it so that was $14 wasted; not insignificant. I didn't expect to have to check it at the restaurant so I didn't, and obviously i wasn't going to drive ~30 minutes each way to get it corrected.I've found I can carry a drink holder with multiple drinks (four this time), a shopping bag, and a carseat with a 12 pound infant inside but opening doors with all that cargo still proves to be a bit tricky since I can't walk through doors. It was very kind of the barista to offer to help me by opening the door. I'd love to visit this cafe again, when I'm in the area which is not terribly often (I wish it had been here when I worked in Bronzeville!). Parking wasn't easy for me at all but it may just be that I was here at a popular time and that's why the street parking was mostly taken.

The staff is friendly and very professional. They roast their own coffee and it's damn good. Highly recommended.

Bright, clean and cheery coffee shop in Bridgeport. Couldn't be more opposite than its name! Came here to catch up with a friend over breakfast sandwiches and coffee. We luckily snagged a table just before the place filled up. A large portion of the coffeeshop was blocked off for their roasting equipment so indoor seating is limited. If it wasn't a crisp 31 degree winter day, I would've loved to enjoy the sun from their front sidewalk seating.Ordered a filling bacon, avocado, and egg sandwich with a Biscoff Oat Latte. The Biscoff flavor was subtle and overall not too sweet (ultimate asian auntie compliment). My sandwich, while tasty, was a challenge to maneuver since it was stacked high with fluffy egg and thick avocado slices. I loved the fluffiness of the bun, but would likely go for a simpler croissant sandwich next time. Great addition to the several cafe options in the area. Cheers!

Nice coffee joint. Nice coffee, nice people, nice space with nice light, nice food, nice artwork (for sale) and they have the whole coffee roasting equipment thing going and visible in right inside the space. Nice!

The Oat Chata drinks yummy. The purple latte was different but very good. Avocado toast delicious. The customer service is wonderful and pleasant. Great place to meet up and have a small meeting or brunch.

Coffee is plentiful in Bridgeport. It's got a few to choose from. Bad Owl is bad ass. Great amount of freshly roasted coffee and a light food menu. The prices are okay for an independent coffee place. A kind of big place for as small as it seems to be honest. It's got a few seats inside. They do kind of squish together. Could have room for even more. We got a couple seats at a long table. It's about $5 for a coffee. Thats's pretty typical for such a place like this. Each of us had a Biscoff Latte. Try it especially if you like the cookies, because it's full of these. Cookies in coffee. This is made with the Biscoff cookie butter in addition to cookie crumbles sprinkled on top. For food we got the Vegan Overnight Oats. It's about $6 for a cup of oats mixed with good shit. Filling but light. This had almonds, bananas, chia seeds, coconut, peanut butter, pumpkin flax granola, soy milk, and vanilla. On the rest of the menu there's stuff like sandwiches but this are expensive. Too much for a little. For sure it's not bad. If anything is bad, it's the prices. This is a nice place for hanging out a bit except for there not being enough seats and tables.

My absolute favorite coffee place that I've visited in Chicago. The specialty coffee choices are delicious! Worried about paying a small premium for a beverage? It's worth it each and every time. This little spot on the south side is the ONLY place on the south side that I will go out of my way for.
