50 Best Cafes near Bridgeport

“Love Muffins! We've been coming in for breakfast with our 2 young kids since they opened. Perfect spot for a family. Great food, priced fairly, friendly service, cool atmosphere. Literally the only breakfast spot we go to now. Muffins is doing everything right. Check them out!“

“This was my second time to the 4th Street Cafe and they didn't disappoint. The service was excellent and the food was amazing. Matt and his crew do a fantastic job serving their customers. Can't wait till my next visit. By the way I traveled 45 minutes to try. I would have driven 2 hrs. “

“Came here today for a date with my wife. Everything was fantastic. The place is clean and bright. The prices are fair. The staff was kind and professional. Really gave us a great authentic Colombian experience. I highly recommend coming here!“

“We love Alice! All the baked goods are amazing, perfect croissants, best I've had. But - what's really great are the seemingly simple salt rolls. Something that seems so basic is just a wow - great flavor, chewy, delicious. If Dennis can make a roll so perfect, that tells you about the rest!“

“Food was fresh, delicious, and fairly priced. Beware of the pickled jalapeños if you are sensitive to spicy food.Both their beef gyro and falafel were the best I’ve ever had. Please keep in mind that I don’t even like meat and I’ve been struggling with anorexia for decades. So it’s very difficult for me to eat anything unless it’s super fresh and extraordinarily tasty. This place is a true gem and treasure.Service was outstanding, The owner-host made us feel immediately welcomed and at ease. She let us customize our order and was very prompt with our food. She was very knowledgeable about the ingredients they use, as well.The seating area is small, but that is to be expected in this area.Overall, this was by far our favorite restaurant to visit in the Philly area.Vegetarian options: they have falafel, grape leaves, hummus, baba ghanoush, salads, you name it! they offer endless customization options if you’d like, as well.Dietary restrictions: they serve halal, and they are knowledgeable about the ingredients they use.“

“This place is the best coffee place in the universe...forget just the area. They roast their own beans, have a variety of different milks, their flavorings are on point, their avo toast, bagels and baked goods are out of this world and always fresh. The light roast has a hint of raspberry and when paired with the mocha in a latte will make u want to slap your momma...the flavors are insane! They also recently added a Q rated expert that is part barrista. This place is such a gem and part of our weekly routine. Ash, one of the managers, is cool, detailed in his approach in every aspect and is extremely welcoming. My wife and I love this place.“

“God good. I had creamed chipped beef, it was very good. Service was very pleasant. It is a little noisy. All the people eating seemed to be very pleased with their experience. Staff was very nice.Dietary restrictions: My food was NOT salty at all which I appreciate.“

“Love this cafe!! My go to order is a cappuccino with oatmilk, sweet ricotta toast, and avocado ricotta toast. The toasts are always done really great-- bread is soft, ricotta is creamy, both avocado and fruit are so delicious. Everything is made with care. Space is great to catch up with friends or do some work. Highly recommend!!“

“I have had the pleasure of working with Danielle and John. Their willingness to work with us to reschedule our daughters bridal shower, due to a family emergency . Was nothing short of amazing! We are so thankful for their understanding and willingness to work with us! They are amazing owners and we are so appreciative“

“I was walking down conshy and I saw this cafe I never been to and decided to went in. The atmosphere was super cute and the owner is very sweet and recommended the brown sugar boba for me. They had tons of pastry and I couldn’t help but to get a few and try their avocado toast! Everything was delicious and definitely coming back. “

“Cute bistro that's well decorated. If you're looking for something fancy, this isn't it. If your looking for cozy and comfort 'traditional American food' this IS the place. Friendly staff and military friendly. Will come back again.“

“A true marriage between a coffee shop and cocktail bar. They serve traditional café fare here, as well as signature flavored lattes, craft coffee drinks, and many cocktails with a coffee or tea twist. Every week, there's also a new special on the menu. They also allow guests to bring food, so you can cozy up with a drink and some bites and hang out late into the night (which we have done many times!)Vegetarian options: Almost all drinks are vegetarian, and vegan milk alternatives are available upon request.“

“Gather your Canada Goose and 3 carat diamond ring, because to enter this rarified coffee-lunch-shop air, you’ll need something to fit in. This place is a tremendous find, clearly with a chef from city-level fine dining. The chicken salad sandwich is fresh with an incredible array of fresh herbs in the mix and crunchy yet soft sandwich bread. You’ll surely not go wrong with a grain salad topped with chicken - super high quality meat - the difference is clear. I was also impressed by my matcha latte - not as much by the chocolate chip cookie. The grapefruit soda was also distinct with a hint of thyme and a perfect amount of sweet and bubble. I can hardly wait to return and enjoy the very best again.“

“This is a hidden gem I’ve never been to a place like this And I will keep Brother Arnold in my prayers Because his food is not just food his food ministers to the body in the soul in the spirit and the mind And it’s neutralizing the body Given it life of what it needs. God uses him in the mighty way to nourish to people back to their natural state. Thank God for this, dear brother keep on persevering and prospering.“

“Met a friend for breakfast as Apple Walnut Cafe was halfway between where I live and Swarthmore. It's a super cute diner-like atmosphere with very friendly wait staff and an extensive menu with all kinds of eggs, french toast, pancakes, and lots more. I enjoyed my blueberry pancakes and my friend enjoyed his eggs. It's a solid choice for breakfast and I look forward to trying other items on their menu in the future!“

“This is a fantastic brunch spot. Although they don't take reservations, we only had to wait a few minutes for a table to be arranged and cleaned. I ordered the crab Benedict, which featured perfectly poached eggs. The bread, thicker than a traditional English muffin, complemented the dish well. It was served with standard potatoes. The highlight was the Butter Pecan pancake with caramelized banana—possibly the best pancake I've ever had, though crispy edges would have made it even better. I also ordered orange juice, which was good but less impressive due to the pulp. Overall, I highly recommend this place for brunch and am looking forward to returning.“

“Everything we tried was perfectly baked and utterly delicious. Had a variety of pastries including the best sellers : almond croissant, strawberry crème croissant. My favorite was the Greek yogurt & cherry. Can’t wait to explore more flavors and other offerings….“

“Wow, what can I say besides fresh and tasty. If you eat on the healthier side, this place is a great way to treat yourself. Healthy food cost more, I think the prices are actually pretty reasonable when compared to something of lesser quality. I’m usually outta there between $10-15 but I never only get one thing haha. Try it out for yourself. You’ll feel great. Ps Highly recommend the Unicorn bowl, took a chance on it and it ended up being my favorite.“

“No need to go to Chinatown. Fantastic service. The Pho, the broken rice dishes, and specialty dishes are always delicious. The beef stew with egg noodles is a menu highlight. Get a Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk or a smoothie or try a Rainbow Ice. You won't be disappointed except when they're closed.“

“The only critique I would have is that they need a better roll for the steak sandwich and it needs to be gutted. Now saying that I prefer the texture on the outside of the role to be different than the inside of the role. The roll feels like I’m eating white bread with seeds. But other than that, everything is delicious. I do not want to discourage you from getting the cheesesteak because it’s so good. I’ve had it several times! Like I said just prefer a different roll. The owner is very personable and besides the food bringing you back, you want to go back because of the owner.“

“Artesano Cafe in Manayunk is the spot to hit up for breakfast or just a coffee run. I loveeed their outdoor food truck. Their breakfast sandwich with a special maple spread is so good! I would've never thought to add that on a breakfast sandwhich. And the tater tots?! So crispy, so good. It was a decent enough day outside to sit outdoors, but their inside setup is pretty cozy too. Definitely stop by!“

“What a great spot for breakfast! My mom and I stopped here on our Valley Forge area trip back home and were not disappointed! We had the half Belgian waffle and oatmeal and it was delicious! And such a great, friendly vibe! Thanks for a lovely experience!“

“Newly open for dinner, they were slow on a Saturday night but we had a great family meal! Everyone was kind, the burgers and grilled cheese were surprisingly excellent. It's a kitschy setting (it is a cat cafe after all!) and my kids loved visiting the kittens, who were caged in the front entry room/gift shop. I got a key lime pie to go that was excellent. It's a fun choice for something casual, fun and different - we'll be back!“

“I came here because Blue Owl wasn’t open today and was completely blown away by the croissants and hot chocolate. We tried every croissant they had available today (chocolate, raspberry, cherry/cheese and plain) and all were top notch. I don’t normally drink hot chocolate but decided to try it based off of other reviews and it was also insanely rich. Id highly recommend ordering one and sharing it with 2-3 people as it is really thick and rich. Prices were spot on where they should be ($3.50-$4.00 for a croissant). Inside had plenty of seating. Staff was friendly and quick.“

“The workers were super friendly! My London fog was tasty. They didn't add any sugar to it so I added my own, but I actually appreciate that because it's not fun when it's overly sweet. The sticky bun I had was heavenly. Someone put their heart and soul into making that thing. So sweet and buttery and flavorful. Atmosphere was also cute. Not overly busy, good for working. Place is kinda small, but I was thankful for an open seat. Very clean and welcoming. I would recommend!“

“Family owned and operated. It's a great hidden breakfast place. Hidden because if you're not from the area, it is hard to locate. Located behind the old Maccaroon Factory in the East end of Norristown on Ridge Pk. Once located, there is a great breakfast and lunch menu to choose from. There is an upper room that accommodates large groups.“

“We love Pour Richard's for many different reasons. Their coffee selection is HUGE and delicious. If you've never had anything from PR...try a different blend every day you go. It's worth it! The staff is A+ AMAZING and works their butts off. Great place to stop and grab breakfast and coffee and to get some work done before going into the office. I could write a novel on how great PR is; but if you're reading this, chances are you already know that!“

“My husband and I moved to havertown last year. We found this awesome breakfast place within walking distance from our house. little do we know,this will become our favorite breakfast joint around! The owner there always remembers us and treats us so well. The staff is friendly. The food is quick, delicious and affordable. 10/10 ✨“

“Really awesome place. Not only are they a great shop for all your bike needs, but they are apart of and provide so many community events and rides. Also, I just absolutely love the teal and pink colors they use on all their logos and t-shirts, etc - just a happy vibe that makes me wanna ride for miles!“

“We visited Charming Star Playroom with my 3.5 year old twins for a Valentines Day party with Minnie and had an excellent time! First, I cannot go without mentioning how clean CSP is for a place that has young children touching each and every surface daily. SO clean. Wipes, tissues, and sanitizer are never too far away. Socks are required for everyone so don’t forget those! If you do forget they have some you can buy. They also have snacks and drinks available to purchase if the event you attend doesn’t include them in the ticket price. I thought it was really nice that you can buy a single ticket and pay $10 at the door for each additional sibling. I love that they have chairs and couches in the play area for adults to sit and maybe enjoy a few minutes where you don’t have to chase your kid(s) around. I don’t have infants anymore but noticed there were high chairs in the bathrooms to stow a child so you can use the restroom without worrying about your kid licking the floor. GENIUS! There’s a million different stations to play and jump and climb, there’s no way a child could be bored here. The staff was welcoming and friendly. I feel like I could go on and on… I’m very happy with our trip there today and would love to go back soon.“

“I just received my quiche combo from Aneu - QVC! Popped one in the oven and it is pure perfection! So delicious and fresh. Shipping was fast. The packaging was great and the quiches were frozen and freeze wrapped. I would absolutely purchase again!“

“Service is excellent and you can tell this place is well run. Large plates of food for reasonable prices and many menu options. I can see why this is a local favorite. Hash browns are real potatoes and are amazing with creamed chopped beef!“

“I came in this morning for some coffee and LOVED the vibes!! The cafe is super chill with plenty of space to grab coffee, some food and get some work done. This location is inside the KOP mall for that midday retail therapy and the food court for some food that the cafe may not carry. Next time I come in I’ll try some food at Capitol One Cafe and update my review but for now the coffee and experience was great!!“

“Picked up a bag of beans after chatting with the Baristas about flavors I go for. The Rwanda beans they recommended have been a lovely addition to my morning. This was during the May street festival and they were cool & calm even with a busy crowd coming in and out of the shop.“

“My friend and I met for coffee this morning to discuss a new business idea. I bought some Delco coffee and we had almond croissants and coffee to enjoy while we talked. Both were amazing and I can’t wait to grind and brew my coffee tomorrow. What a great local business!!“

“I went here with a friend and her 2 kids who I nanny for- ages 11 months and 2. What a great place! It was very clean and there was so much fun stuff to do! They had ride-on toys, a train table, a couple slides, a nugget couch, rock wall, and much more! The kids had a blast (and so did I!) I definitely recommend Lulu's Casita)!“

“We love locally owned cafes, and this was such an amazing first experience, and will definitely be coming back! The cinnamon roll was one of the best i've ever had. The SME sandwich was really good and the BEC sandwich. Drinks were amazing and the service was very sweet and welcoming!“

“Confident saying - anything positive you've read/heard about Green Engine is probably 100% legit. Drinks and pasteries are fantastic. Service is always very good. Been here many times. I'd recommend: hot vanilla latte & a toasted bagel with cashew butter. Sometimes it's hard to find seating...but that's because the place is justifiably popular.“

“Nook & Kranny is the place to go. Who doesn't love a breakfast nook and the kranny's are like Grammy's... heartwarming and prepared with love. This little eatery is a hidden gem. Every coffee mug is different and quite literally might have been owned by your grandmother. The food is fresh and delicious. The atmosphere is inviting and delightful. Go, enjoy, play a game of cribbage or just gossip bout your favorite reality show, whatever your heart desires, I'm not judging you... but i am judging this kafe... 5 stars!“

“Absolutely homey place for brunch. I've always driven past for years & decided to stop in when my husband & I were lazy to make breakfast. Everything was exceptionally cleaned & service was prompt and friendly.The menu was no frills but it was delicious! I ordered waffles with a side of bacon (which were deliciously crunchy!!) and my husband ordered the farmer's omelette.We'd definitely come back, no question.“

“I love this place so much and I always enjoy going here. All their food is amazing, especially the gelato! The prices are reasonable and the employees are really nice and let me borrow a charger today when my phone was dying. Highly recommend and some of the best gelato I've ever had!“

“Where to start!!! I happened to be at Upper Darby HS this morning doing a favor and decided to see what Yelp recommended near me. There were the usual (Tank and Libby's....Sabrina's....Kettle....etc), but I'm a common guy by nature and wanted to get back to my corner, neighborhood diner roots. All these fancy places starting me to talking with a Main Line accent when I grew up in New Castle.... lol.... This place showed up, and although there weren't many reviews, they were all excellent. Plus, looking at the pics, this was the vibe I was looking for. Walked in and was greeted by Patty and Marla. Within 5 minutes, they made me feel like a regular, when I had never even been there before. I ordered a cup of coffee while I checked out the menu. I NEVER would've expected such a great cup of coffee from a corner spot. It was worthy of La Colombe. For breakfast I decided to have the 2XL egg mixed grill. This included...... get this..... two scrambled eggs (i added cheese), home fries (I added peppers and onions), two slices of thick slab bacon, two pieces of sausage, two slices of ham, and one piece of scrapple and toast on the side....... All this...... for only $11.95. While I was eating this hearty, delicious meal, in walks the owner, Jason. Young man is doing the damn thing. Owns this diner and the mechanics shop across the street. Very personable. So many of our young black men are out there doing positive things like this and you don't hear about it. I'll tell you this. I live 40 minutes from here but I will support and promise to have my a** in one of those chairs at least once a month.“

“just stopped by and had one of the best cheesesteaks in Philly. I'm from Oklahoma and everyone raved about Philly cheessteaks I tried them all and they are all the same as I get in Oklahoma. That was until I crested my mouth around a Zoagies 10 out 10 stars. Not only was the food amazing but the staff was super friendly and created tge best Cheesesteak I've ever ate.“

“Donna and Pam (sweetest ladies ever!) run the bistro and serve hot food (sandwiches & salads mostly) as well as snacks (chips, muffins, drinks). Their food is great and they can customize it to your liking - just tell them! Personally love their hot dogs and their soups and their chili con carne. Be sure to ask for their daily specials as well if you're undecided what to eat! Best part is that all their options are affordable.“

“Today was my first time trying this place and it was absolute food heaven. I got the pineapple banana kale smoothie, the hummus avocado wrap and the gluten free chocolate chip banana bread. All three items are must-trys if you go. They were so fresh and delicious. The service was wonderful. The atmosphere was welcoming and the prices were affordable. I have spent similar amounts at Wawa and Chipotle. The difference was today I felt like I did something healthy and nice for myself.“

“First time eating Brunch in this restaurant yesterday. Not too busy. Assigned a table for two. Floor directly under my seat was wet from spilled coffee so I asked a server to wipe it which she did half heartedly and not thoroughly. Took longer for her to attend to us despite the not so busy time. Luckily another very pleasant server was kind enough to step in and promptly served us with a beautiful smile and attitude.Food was great! Original server didn’t bother to check back in with us if we needed anything else like, um, water?Came time to pay bill in front and the amount was just about right. Paid the 20 percent tip somewhat reluctantly (I think that was the minimum if I recall) and was told by the somewhat frosty and disengaged front person that the card came through only for the tip(??). Had to swipe card for second time making sure to ask lady I don’t have to tip again. Made me feel it was my fault, no apologies or anything.I would give this place 5 stars except for the front desk reception(not as welcoming as other places) and our first inattentive server. The other server who helped out was great. Food more than made up for this so, 4 stars. I would eat here again but maybe try a different location.“

“Excellent coffee with plenty of mix-and-match flavor options and milk/non-dairy alternative options. The cafe itself was also cute - I liked the music theme. I wasn't there when there was live music, but I thought that was a neat idea to help showcase local artists somewhere other than a bar. It is across the street from my acupuncturist, so I'll definitely be back next time I go.Dietary restrictions: Has non-dairy alternatives for milk + sugar-free flavors for coffee“

“Guests have to provide their own food, which we knew and bought in from Honeygrow, but I couldn't proceed with review unless I picked a rating for food. The ambiance was so nice! we enjoyed easily being able to connect to the speaker for some music, we enjoyed our takeout, and we played a little game with our remaining time. our party included parents and 4 teens, and we all enjoyed it- felt like a special way to enter the holiday season!“

“My mother & I came here for breakfast while we were waiting for my chinchilla to have a procedure done at the vet close by. Wow! We both had the Waldorf salad. I had mine on sourdough bread & she hers on a bed of lettuce with the tarragon chicken salad as well. Absolutely amazing. The chai latte was also great. I did not catch the barista’s name, but she was very helpful and friendly as well. All around great experience at the elegance cafe!“

“Sabrina’s is always a hit for me. Depending on what time of you day you visit, it can get really busy. The service is always good, & the food is always delicious. Lately, I’ve been sticking with the chicken & waffles. The chicken is always seasoned, & the waffles are always nice and fluffy. The french toast is good, but I never seem to finish it.“
