Cheap bagels & breakfast sandwiches, good cream cheese (I don't really like it at little skips). Tiny place but probably best value around if you're looking for coffee & bagel! They have wifi too

Bigger than it seems - if you walk all the way to the back and go through the blue door, they have a huge backyard with lots of seats and planters.

Excellent coffee, friendly neighborhood vibe, and unique artwork. They also have sandwiches and apparently some alcohol?

It feels like the original coffee shop. It doesn't try to be anything else than good coffee and nice atmosphere

Technically they serve breakfast all day but go early if you plan on eating anything. They're often out of bagels and croissants before noon

Great wifi, great coffee, great staff. Out of the way, and therefor more of a neighborhood haunt of the authentic persuasion.

Surprisingly awesome and creative menu for a little coffee joint. I'm impressed.

Don't know why the low reviews... the place is a dream of a local coffee/lunch spot. Service is also really endearing.

Their breakfast sandwiches plus a large Intelligentsia coffee will cure any hangover.

I love the sandwiches here. Try the Morgan. The iced coffee is disappointing tho.

A "large" iced coffee that would truly be a "small" or "regular" elsewhere costs $3.50 here. Good coffee, but seriously? $3.50?
Frank DavisMay 5, 2013
The redeye is a bit meh but the peanut butter cup latte is insane.

intelligentsia coffee
Natalie YoungAugust 1, 2015
Been here twice, both times were mediocre. Starr Sandwich was a win at least. PB latte is like drinking watered down peanut butter. Good idea, not well executed. Oatmeal is basically soup. 👎🏻😭
