"The Colectivo has tons of seating and a great ambiance. I would say the drip coffee is just OK, but the coffee drinks are good! The burritos are good, the bowl not so much. My one gripe is that the internet doesn't seem reliable (sometimes it's spotty, sometimes not working at all). It's a shame because I really get in the zone when I work there!"
"Owner was super nice and friendly!! came here close to them closing and wasn't rushed at all to make a choice and he even brought my dog a pup cup. ambiance is so cozy with nice lighting and good seating for all areas, much larger space than you would think before walking in. will be coming here a lot now that we live in the area"
"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."
"This is an awesome cafe. The vibe is awesome, the staff are friendly, and it's always busy with customers because it's so good. I went on a saturday morning with my sister for some coffee and brunch. They happened to be doing a "pictures with santa" event when we got there which was a funny surprise. We ordered the chorizo avocado toast with egg, which was delicious. They didn't hold back on anything, and there was plenty of chorizo and avocado. We also split the beignets, which came with twelve delicious bite size beignets, enough to take some home. I also tried the lavender coconut latte, which was super delicious with a very natural flavor. Clearly, this place puts a lot of effort into making top quality food and drinks. They are passionate about giving the customers a great culinary experience, in a very chill setting for excellent prices. I would totally come back!"

This Blackberry Cream Matcha Latte is delish! Not too sweet and pretty good on the nose with floral notes. I love it. It was prepared fast with pleasant service. I also appreciated their big yet cozy seating area with plenty of tables. It's very bright and airy too with plenty of indoor plants. Loved getting some work done here.

I am definitely coming back for more coffee, it was delicious. I had an everything bagel with cream cheese which was good too. The ambiance is relaxing but lively with great art. I went on a Sunday morning and it was a little busy and the wait for the coffee and bagel was expected. Fun place to chat with a friend, study, or just take to go.

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!

Tasa is such a calming space. Everything is warm and wooden. It's a beautiful coffee shop with plenty of seating available. The staff were friendly and helpful. On the menu, they have a list of classic coffee drinks and a list of seasonal specials. I appreciated that they had a good variety of food options too. I ordered the iced white mocha and beignets. The coffee was very good! Definitely will be back!

This place is such a cute French bakery! Its location is a bit hidden, but once you find it, it's a great place to stop on your commute. The lady working inside is super personable and tries her best to make the drink you like (also offers to switch something if you're not particular about how the drink tastes). They have a sign outside that features seasonal drinks and specials. I really loved the decor on the wall of the Paris metro. The interior also has chairs. I didn't try the pastries inside, but they looked fabulous! I would definitely check out this local place if you haven't already.

We were recently in the area and were looking for good coffee and a yummy breakfast sandwich. We discovered Mandala Cafe and thoroughly enjoyed it!The entrance and decor are inviting, colorful, and very inviting! The menu is varied with delicious looking baked goods, a fantastic coffee menu, and plenty of more sandwich/entree related items.While you can ask questions from the incredibly kind staff, the primary means of ordering is a large touch screen menu. So sleek, convenient, and simple! Almost every item has a photo along with its name and description, so it is very helpful for visual learners like me! Prices are great, too!My husband got a sausage, egg, and cheese bagel while I got a bacon, egg, and cheese croissant. Both were filling, generous with ingredients, and delicious! They came with side chips, as well!My husband got the Nutella latte and I got the lavender latte. Both were delightfully flavored and hit our coffee spot.The cafe is also a great place to sit and work or catch-up with a friend. The seating area is varied with plenty of spaces to sit. We sat in the window seating and did a little work. The outdoor space looks great for warmer weather, too.We loved our experience at Mandala and we will definitely stop by again next time we are in the neighborhood!

"Perfectly made cappuccino. Delicious French pastries. Friendly service from an artist. I thought I stepped into Paris. A nice find in The Second City! Bon jour! And, Salut!"
"Was in Pilsen for a Dia de Las Muertas event at the National Museum of Mexican Art and stopped by to caffeinate beforehand. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, the iced vanilla latte was delicious and the food looked good (the carrot cake was calling to me!) Come support this local coffee shop and try it yourself!"
