I quite like this place! The baristas are always so friendly, espresso is good, and there’s usually space to grab a seat to work or socialize. Love a cafe that delivers on expectations!

Good coffee, pleasant staff, clean and spacious, not at all pretentious. Speakers playing easy and relaxing jazz, nice to start or end the day with. Happy to give them my business and look forward to stopping by again.

The Bureau Layout/atmosphere *Three seat counter; tables Food/drink *Puff Puff (Nigerian style donuts with powdered sugar) - Good; almost a sweet zeppole *The Works (avocado, NY cheddar, two scrambled eggs, spicy chicken sausage & obe sauce on toasted bread) - solid; sausage was spicy *Dirty Chai Latte - OK

Lovely shop, good coffee and friendly staff. I do think that the sandwiches are overpriced for what it is but I guess this is mainly a coffee shop! Still love this cafe overall and will come back.

Great places to get some writing done and hang with friends. Decor and ambiance could be better. Super minimalist.

Okay let me preface this with: I really like this cafe and the staff is always SO nice and friendly. However, lately, my absolute favorite breakfast sandwich has been suffering from major shrinkflation. This sandwich was SO good and lately they’ve really been skimping on toppings and for $10, this is embarrassing (for them and for those of us who pay $10 for this). I beg you, Bureau, please return this sandwich to its former glory.

unfortunately, I was unable to enjoy my sandwich. I ordered The Works specifically because, unless I am losing my vision, it did not list cheese as an ingredient. To my surprise, my first bite was full of melted cheddar. As a lactose intolerant, this did not end well for me. I will give this place another shot because the bread itself was tasty but I couldn’t eat anything else as it was smothered in dairy.

$9.50 for a subpar bagel and cream cheese with tomato. (With barely any cream cheese on it. ) Come on people knock it off.

Coffee is ok, chai and matcha are terrible omg specially the matcha tastes like dirt chalky water. Worst color and the milk ratio is not it.

Came in politely to order a coffee. Rudely escorted out by a staff member who was physically imposing. Don’t patronize this establishment.

The worst barista I’ve ever met. Completely wrong order, didn’t apologize, super rude. My chai was all milk, it wasn’t even the right kind.
