Such a neat spot. It was my first time visiting Reading and I’m so happy we ended up coming here! Hands down the best matcha I’ve ever had! It was soo good. I looove the setup of The cafe, bookstore and boutique all in one. Loved shopping, chatting with the owner, and checking out the variety of books. Also, For the locals in the area, There’s always events going on and a monthly book club!

absolutely adored my visit here! customer service was very kind and timely. the food was amazing. i got the GOAT breakfast sandwich and an iced vanilla chai. it was the best chai latte i’ve had so far! the sandwich was so flavorful. the atmosphere was so cozy and welcoming. other guests there were even kind to us. great for small group hangouts (we had 4 in our group), and for cute pictures and a great bite! will definitely be coming back!

The breakfast sandwich was obviously microwaved with a frozen sausage patty (see photo), and the “delicious bagels” advertised were clearly basic store-bought bagels. Nothing about it felt fresh or made in-house.
What made it worse picking my plate up from a back counter area where no one was visible and the “kitchen” was… not really a kitchen. The thought of microwaved eggs and sausage being assembled out of sight in that setup was honestly off-putting.
Charging café prices for what amounts to reheated grocery store ingredients is disappointing and quite frankly frustrating when you’re intentionally trying to support a small business.
The caramel macchiato and smoothie were average. Nothing special, nothing memorable, and definitely not worth the price point.
If you’re going to market yourself as a quality café, the food needs to reflect that. I’ve had better, more satisfying breakfasts at Wawa — at least there you know exactly what you’re paying for and how it’s prepared.

This used to be my favorite place to get a chai latte ! But the last few times I have been there it just tasted like milk with cinnamon powder. Today, I got their pumpkin pie one and is basically just milk can’t taste the pumpkin or the chai. It makes me very sad because I truly love this place! But something has to change with the chai lattes specially since they are charging $7 for a medium size drink.

Gorgeous and homely place for a cup of Joe and studying, working or chatting away. The bookshop is a small, well curated collection clearly handpicked with love and devotion. The Franklin Lloyd Wright-esque window patterns are a classy touch.
Unfortunately, my coffee tasted extremely bitter and tasteless and was basically undrinkable.

Cafe Bold is a cozy, comfortable and warm place. One can hang out there and do work (they have several small seating areas and internet access). Coffee and food are good.
Two minor gripes. No Splenda, and coffee is by default served in paper cups rather than china, even if one has it in house. I feel like for such a place, the default in house serving option should be china or glass, not paper.

Bold Coffee Shop is awesome! Their bagels are seriously the best around—perfectly chewy and served with great schmears. Don’t miss their amazing selection of fresh, vibrant smoothies. They are the ideal, healthy, and refreshing pairing. Great service and cozy vibe make this spot a winner! Go check them out.

My sister went to the cafe yesterday with her friend and got food poisoning from an avocado toast with egg. She was driving home when she said she felt dizzy and had to pull over to throw up. I feel obligated to report this to the staff/owner so that proper cooking procedure be executed in the future. Unfortunately, no one answered the phone and the voicemail box was full, so I had no recourse but to write a review. Especially after spending $20 on breakfast, we are quite upset.

Very nice little place, great atmosphere. Has great coffee and coffee drinks and also a few little cakes and crumpet type things. The dining room is nice and quiet, it would be a good place to meet somebody for a little business meeting or first date. I highly recommend it.
