About

Retrograde is a specialty coffee shop with house-made sourdough bagels, and its Shagbark Latte with oat milk has earned a specific shout-out from a reviewer. The current menu lists the Haley’s Comet as vegan, though some customers in 2025 reported being told vegan food wasn’t available; one reviewer also found a vegan breakfast sandwich small for its $11 price.
