Conspire makes a good stop downtown
October 29, 2009 Posted by Chris Tingom Filed under Coffee
For months friends have been encouraging me to visit Conspire and today the weather was nice so I stopped in for a visit. Since Conspire has very limited indoor seating it isn’t a good choice for a large group, unless the weather is nice.
If the weather is nice, you have your choice of about 3 park benches in the yard. That’s where I sat (along with some friends).
The inside of the shop is small and cozy, with bar seating. It’s a single room with a variety of grocery / art products. Along the front wall is a counter with an espresso machine. The barista on hand today made my drink and asked me if I wanted my drink “for here.”
My cappuccino was $2.75 and they did a great job with it, as you can see in my photo. I’ll definitely be back for more.
The exterior of the building is painted with a mural. There are images of sharks, contraptions, and other shapes on the side of the building.
While seated on the park benches you’ll be able to strike up a conversation with the people walking past.

Yuri Artibise says:
Conspire is my favorite meeting place downtown. Great coffee and baked goods, especially for vegans.
Minor League Rocker says:
My go-to coffeehouse. And my go-to cappuccino.
Matthew Petro says:
Glad you made it over there! I love their coffee and their vegan donuts are great. I really think they have the best espresso in CenPho.
Dave says:
901 North 5th St. or 901 South 5th St?
Chris Tingom says:
Dave, it is North 5th St. Sorry about that, I updated the address in the post.
Chris Tingom says:
Glad to see so many of you love Conspire! I will definitely be back.
Curious: How do you all feel about the theme? They have a rebel kind of a purpose and it appears to work.
I’m just curious how many of their customers would equate themselves with this lifestyle?
Minor League Rocker says:
Me, not so much. I’m a pretty regular sort of character – not a fregan, serial protester or activist. Aside from the coffee, what I like about Conspire is that it’s a great place to go and talk to people you know, and run into people you met before. It’s a pretty inviting place.
Luis says:
anyone know where they get their coffee from?
Minor League Rocker says:
Luis, they get it from Cartel Coffee Lab. At least the beans for the espresso. Not sure about the drip.
Luis says:
Thanks MLR!
Randall says:
They don’t do drip
. Just espresso.
Jane X says:
hey they started doing a drip a few weeks ago so don’t let that deter you!
