Ben & Sam's Best of Bridgeport
Coffee
We have 3 great local coffee shops in easy walking distance - you can't go wrong with any of them!
A slightly longer walk, but worth it for some of the best coffee in the city. Simple hipster vibe. Premium pricing. The Las Nubes beans are Ben’s favorite, amazing for french press or cold brew. Plentiful indoor and outdoor seating and remote work friendly.

Ben’s favorite haunt, with a consistent local crowd. Reasonable prices, indoor and outdoor seating, and remote work friendly. Very unique space, with a punk rock / skater vibe. Try the ham and cheese croissant, sourced locally from Bridgeport Bakery, or the Mackalope sandwich for breakfast - pancakes instead of bread!
