Nice little cafe. We stopped in here at random because I was exhausted and needed a tea, and Brew happened to be just off our route. I got a chai latte with almond milk to go and an everything bagel for breakfast tomorrow. The staff were nice and the chai was just what I needed. Wasn't sweet but that is easily remedied with some sugar packets. It was warm and comforting and the almond milk made it extra creamy. read more

Ambience is good and the cashiers/baristas were nice. I ordered a small iced dirty chai with pistachio syrup and it was honestly terrible. The espresso flavor is just not very good. read more

I never miss this place when I'm in town because the vibe is awesome Order from the specials menu, it's on top of the foods case (look up at the register) Today's choice: banana bread matcha Love it! (I chose unsweetened matcha because the banana bread gives it enough sweet) One of the last great coffee houses to hang in read more

You can never go wrong with BREW! The staff is always friendly and the service is quick. I love the variety of breakfast items and baked goods! I'm a fan of the Wizard's Brew and the seasonal menus are always on point! The atmosphere is perfect for studying, meeting with book club, or bringing out of town guests! read more

What I love the most about BREW is its young, vibrant college vibes, which obviously comes naturally since it's part of the UT campus. Great ambiance, friendly service and good coffee flavor definitely makes it a more than desirable cafe to hang out or grab a quick coffee when you're around town. I can definitely see myself hanging out and doing projects if I were a student, even though these sort of pondering tend to be slightly depressing at my age.. youngsters have such liveliness, don't you think? LOL read more

If you are looking for a typical college campus coffee house vibes, this place is perfect for you! Really good coffee and reasonably priced. Very chill. read more

Really nice spot for espresso style coffee. It's located right on the University of Toledo campus and has a modern, industrial vibe. On a family road trip drive from Ann Arbor, MI to Cleveland, OH, I was searching for a place to get caffeinated. Based on Yelp reviews, I was able to find this nice cafe in Toledo (which did not have many promising options for coffee beyond Starbucks). Service at the BREW coffee bar was friendly and professional. During the summer, it was not crowded. read more

Based on the reviews I guess I was expecting more. Both my visits were early morning. About 8 am-ish. Place has a kind of industrial look but plenty of seating. The pastries that were out at that time didn't strike my fancy. Nothing looked like I gotta have it. I ordered an earl gray tea because Im not into coffee at all. Got handed the hot water and tea bag. There's a tip jar right there so I tipped a buck for the $3 small tea. Atmosphere was eclectic with folks from college age to over 40s doing work. Now where is the wifi code? Looked around. Not on the table, napkin, sugar packet. Finally went up to the counter to ask. Looked around some more. Found out you bus your own table. Wifi works good. The tea was tea. If you want one of those fancy coffees they have them but I was kind of kicking myself wondering why I tipped 40% to get handed hot water and bus my own table. Staff werent unfriendly but most of the background noise is them chatting. Just nothing special here for me. read more

My first time here I know it's a little out of the way it's by the college that's why. I got a small mocha it was $6 a little expensive if you ask me for a small but I would still come back at some point Lots of room to sit down most of the people inside are younger around my age 24-30 or so. Everyone seemed nice and it wasn't noise or quiet inside just the right level of noise. read more

This is by far my favorite coffee spot in my neighborhood. They always get my order right! There is literally something for everyone. Lots of gluten-free options if that is something you need. Bonus... It is about a minute walk away from EV charging stations. It's a great spot to charge your car and your yourself. I have yet to have a bad drink in this place, but I'm sure if I did, they would happily make me a new one. There are always lots of locals food options being served. Definitely worth a stop if you are in the neighborhood. It's not just a college coffee spot. read more

It was just ok. Service was 5 star. Coffee was not. Matcha taste like fish. Which means it was not stored correctly or is old. Coffee so so. Tea so hot could not even sip. Smoothie not much taste. Place is wide open and bright windows. Very nice. read more

Honestly was the only place open. Can't say that there was anything wrong with it, just felt a little too corporate, I prefer small independent. Anyway, I was just passing through town, I'm sure it fits the bill for the local college students. read more

So sooooo glad this place exists in Toledo! I was visiting family and friends and wanted to check out a non-chain coffee shop! This place was a great find from my friend who works on campus! This building is awesome in the West Toledo/ University of Toledo area with local eats and treats from local artisans in the area! You will find All Crumbs Artesian Bakery, So Sweet Lebanese and French Pastries items and so much more. I loved the industrial feel to the place, it's very study and hangout friendly. I got a white mocha latte with almondmilk and empanadas for a late dinner before heading back to Columbus. The workers were friendly and fun. Got to hang with peeps longer and had good coffee while doing it. 5 stars! read more

A really comfy coffee shop near the university! I decided to check out this place on a Sunday morning and it was bustling with people studying, reading, or just hanging out. There was plenty of seating around the coffee bar area and even outdoor tables. Parking wasn't an issue as there is a large parking lot around the back of the building. They have a variety of freshly brewed coffee options including local drips. If you're not a fan of coffee, they also have plenty of different teas for you to try. Their bakery is packed from freshly made croissants to bagels to brownies. They even have a variety of empanadas. I ended up getting the lentil and vegetable one. I personally loved the lentil one, it was very flavorful and filling. The veggie was good, but not as good as the lentil. Will definitely be coming back to enjoy some of their other options! read more

All real good here and nice newer place. Good drink of honey syrup and Americano in what they have as large size. Actually is medium size but otherwise is good. Apparently no real honey, but syrup is ok if all they have. read more

Lots of places to work, charge devices, and collaborate. Definitely a good study spot. Not too quiet but not too loud. Would definitely come back. Got an oat milk latte and it was great, but they've got a huge variety of drip coffee and coffee beans to go. Baristas were friendly and knowledgeable. Overall great place. read more

I wanted soo bad to love this place because I had seen so many great reviews about it but gosh! Once in a while I get tired of going to the big brands like Starbucks or Bigby and scout around for a local hub but I was a bit disappointed with this one. PROS: Great space for students or for anyone in general who wants to snack on something while doing work. Great service and lovely staff. Free WiFi . Close to UT. There are board games there as well so it is a good space to lounge with friends. CONS: I ordered the pumpkin spice latte and blueberry muffin which came to $6.23 (pro-tip: if you check in on yelp when you get to the coffee shop you'll get 10% off). The coffee wasn't all that great. Plus the muffin tasted like the dough was still raw. It was really difficult to eat. There also wasn't a lot of options for pastries. Overall it's a nice coffee spot just didn't meet my taste. Would 6/10 recommend. read more

I was a Starbucks addict and decided to try Brew on a whim since it is closer to home. Let me just say that it was love at first taste!!! The drinks don't taste artificial, chemically or sugar overloaded. The staff is pleasant and always eager to help. I love it here!!! read more

Regular College campus coffee spot nice atmosphere Places to sit and work on whatever project for hours on end (couches, leather chairs, bar top tables etc) Scout your seats out or you may end up waiting a bit. Staff follows covid guidelines and there are reminders for customers at every table Coffee is coffee, matcha latte was great not too sweet, vegan options exist here! Yay! read more

This is a trendy coffee shop with lots of space inside for work, studying, and casual meetups. I've tried multiple drinks here before writing this review. I would write different notes about each drink I got, but I think I can sum it up for you all easily: Bad. Seriously, where's the coffee in these drinks? Am I ordering milk or coffee? Hot drinks are lukewarm. Cold drinks have 2 pebbles of ice. Don't waste your money here like I did. Nice space though. The wifi is decent too. Drinks I've tried: Chai latte Dirty Chai Latte Macchiato Vanilla Latte Caramel Latte read more

Popped in this place for the first time after doing some searching for good coffee in Toledo and this place did not disappoint. Got a ice hazelnut latte with oat milk and was so yummy! Not to sugary, not to much ice either. Didn't get to sit down but the decor definitely made it look like a good place to study or grab coffee with a friend. read more

Tiramisu whip: amazing!!!! Great options, service and products !! Excellent pour over and cold almond matcha latte.

Amazing ChemEx coffee (my first time, but so rich and smooth, noms) and a really cool vibe. only thing dragging this down from 5 stars was the lady's Mocha was pretty flavorless, no idea about their other espressos, but that isn't my niche anyways. Stick with the brew and you won't be disappointed, and the staff are very happy to guide your choice. read more

A good place for coffee and studying. Love the design and it's really a big place. Open from 7:00 to 22:00, so good for study. Great coffee. But not too recommend the cakes unless you like sweeeeeet. For those who do not like too much sweet, don't forget to tell the staff to cut down the sugar level. read more

Probably the best local coffee I've ever had in Toledo! The variety of options, flexible hours, friendly staff, and great star rewards program make it hard not to visit every single day.

Back again two das in a row! This time I got their large drip coffee with the Roadhouse Joe pour over. It has an earthy undertone if that's your fancy. It was really good! The staff are really knowledgeable about their pour overs, chemix and French presses so ask away! read more

My first time at this cute coffee shop and I'm a fan! They have a huge selection for all of your caffeinated needs. It was slightly overwhelming, so I went with a Staff Favorite, Pumpkin Chai Latte.

Easily the best coffee shop in Toledo!! Not just for students, and has a great atmosphere. There's free parking out back too!

Great place to grab a coffee and study. I really like their teas as well. The staff is super friendly! Sometimes they have music events or open mic nights, not my favorite thing and I avoid coming when they have those. I frequent this place quite a bit since it is so close to the UT campus and hospital. I hope the new location has more comfortable seating though! read more

Nice coffee shop on Gateway pleasantly surprised by the amount of pastries and cookies and other item though this a hang out the college try nice modern ambiance and open til 10pm staff were friendly and conversational which is rare for coffee shop it seems nowadays i had a macaron not to be confused with a macaroon which was really good and a matcha latte with whipped cream good stuff locally owned i believe as well kudos read more

An amazing selection of flavors and drink varieties make for a wonderful tea and coffee bar!

Yesterday was my first time at BREW, and I can't wait to return soon. The staff were courteous without being intrusive and skillful without being pretentious. I was a bit indecisive so he asked about my likes and dislikes and had several suggestions. I started with a latte with 2 shots of vanilla syrup. I worked for about an hour and then returned to place a to go order for a tall blended latte with caramel for my boyfriend and a coffee con miel with almond milk for myself. I nabbed a blueberry scone as well. Every item we tried was fantastic and kept us full and happy during the Tigers game. Plus, the environment (including restrooms) were clean and relaxed. As another bonus, when I got home later I noticed a thank you email containing a coupon for next time. read more

They were very pleasant, and provided great customer service. The store was pretty cute for a tiny college coffee shop. In my own personal opinion, it's good for the average college student who wants a cute place to study and drink some decent coffee. My pour over wasn't completely enjoyable, but I went on the opening day, so they have tons of time for improvement and fine tuning their whole brewing process! I'm excited to see where they go in the future! read more

The workers were helpful. Except I do not recommend getting coffee from here, you cannot even taste the coffee. All I can taste is milk. There sizes are small and it is way too overpriced! Starbucks would be a better choice! read more
