Flavorful rich latte made with Synastry Decaf blend was so delicious. The latte art was so fine and the staff were attentive and friendly. The decor and the space were very delightful and comfortable. The rating for this place should be higher.

I have driven by retrograde many times without knowing it was a coffee shop since moving to this neighborhood about a year ago, I also would search ‘bagels near me’ looking for a delicious smoked salmon bagel and retrograde did not come up in results. It was a search for ‘strong Wi-Fi near me’ that got me to this great local place. The Chosen One sandwich did not disappoint. I hope to be back soon to try the coffee. Friendly staff. Fun vibe.

Very good coffee, but in that picture, you see $17 for a total of 24oz of coffee and ice.

The sourdough bagels are so delicious. It is hard to find a good bagel around here, but they did it.

I eat here once or twice a week and can confidently say Retrograde has the very best everything bagels in town — better than Proper Bagel!

I got my usual - and iced red eye - and it was beautifully acidic. I love a brightness to my iced coffee and it delivered. The space of Retrograde is a comfortable environment with lots of natural light. Also, it was a reasonable price! As always, I would love more GF food options, but I dig this place.

I had a few different coffees and a sandwich while I was in town on business and I’ll definitely be back when I’m in town. The staff was very kind, music was great, place was very clean, and the coffee and food was phenomenal.

Good coffee and great people. Wifi is free and fast. Lots of tables to work at and power for laptops. Parking out back is easiest. The food is reasonable prices and tastes good. The blueberry muffin is the win for the baked goods.

Great latte. My measurement of the quality of a coffee shop is based primarily on a simple test. If I get a basic latte and it tastes so good on its own that I don't need to add sweetener as a helper. Retrograde passes that test.

Great service at this locally-owned neighborhood coffee shop. The coffee is freshly roasted and delicious, and it has a pleasant atmosphere.

Coffee was good, but the food is really expensive for what you got! Unseasoned eggs and about 3 inches of a bfast sandwich on the baguette 🥺

I stopped in last Saturday at 15 til close because I was determined to make it in because I just moved to the neighborhood. And the two people behind the counter were extremely attentive and friendly to me. The coffee was great too! I will definitely be back this Saturday.
