Bellwood Coffee — Riverside

This has been my favorite coffee shop for 6+ years. Everything is tasty. I recommend The Ezra, Barack on the Rocks, The Faulkner Burger, and all the pastries. The space is light-filled, welcoming to families, bustling with conversation and laughter and kids balance-biking and even dogs on the front patio! They serve cocktails in the evenings which are fabulous. I’ve also enjoyed attending the pop ups, jazz nights, and open mics that they’ve hosted.
