Had to give a shoutout to Juan Carlos for the bomb carne asada burrito--compliments to the chef! This was our third visit, and we finally tried the burrito... and wow, it did not disappoint. So flavorful and perfectly made. Their salsa was also a standout--freshly made, and you can definitely taste the difference. It added the perfect kick to the burrito. We also had the black cold brew and an iced Mexican mocha, and both drinks were just as good. You know it's quality coffee when even the black cold brew has noticeable citrusy notes. Definitely coming back again! read more

Walking into the establishment, love the aesthetic and they even had 'High School Musical' playing during the morning shift. Cousin and I stopped by our first time to grab some matcha and try two different empanadas. I even got to pick up one of their juices they hand made. We could also tell that the establishment holds different evening events with the variety of board games and with the projector, I'd guess they have some trivia nights or such. The matcha tasted great and the empanada's, were amazing! The staff was helpful when my cousin and I tried to figure what kind of empanada to try. Can't wait to come back next time and try something new! read more

Brewja Coffee - Matcha and empanada - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Lorenzo, California

Love love love this cozy friendly neighborhood coffee shop with strong drinks, yummy eats, and friendly staff. I also love that is backed by a Latina owner! I've been in about a dozen times and it has been great every time! You can tell they really put their hearts into their craft here at Brewja, especially with their recent remodel making it look like a boutique fashion shop, perfect to snap a quick pic for social media. Their premade drinks and the food/kitchen items to me are the star of the show. Their horchata coffee is the perfect balance and not too sweet. Their breakfast chorizo plate specials and breakfast burritos are also very good and a great value. The only area I would say feels a little expensive is their pastries and made-to-order drinks. I went in and purchased a spinach pastry, cheese danish, and a Mexican mocha and it set me back a solid $21+ dollars after tax. The pastries at ~$6 a pop and drink at ~$8 for a large really felt like a tad bit much for my budget. Also the avocado-toasts are tasty but at ~$13-15 they are a little pricey for my taste, and I pretty easily find myself spending ~$50-60 in here pretty quickly for a couple toasts, coffees, and a pastry. For these reasons I am not able to stop by as often as I would like. Nonetheless, Brewja has become a solid staple in this community and I highly recommend this coffee shop! It always buzzing with a crowd, but not in a way that would be off-putting. They also often have a resident third-party retro mobile flower cart that parks in front on various weekends and offers hand picked beautiful flowers and gives it a cool market vibe! I hope their prices come down a bit to allow the average Joe to be able to enjoy more often as well, but they're on the right track and they're a welcome addition to this particular neighborhood that I sometimes visit and doesn't have many other options available! read more

Stopped by this cute, highly aesthetic spot on a weekend afternoon and was immediately greeted by the sweet aroma of freshly roasted coffee beans. The vibe inside is perfect--they have a great music playlist, a solid seating area for chatting, selection for pastries, or getting some work done, and a fun collection of board games tucked in the back. Just a heads up that they are entirely cashless, but ordering is a breeze. We tried the Mexican chocolate latte and the dulce de leche latte, upgrading both to a medium for just an extra dollar, and both drinks turned out perfectly strong and sweet. It's a fantastic local gem to hang out or study, and I'll definitely be back to order the food. read more

I brought my cousin here for the first time. She had a breakfast taco the yolk was runny and we forgot to tell them well done they gladly changed it to a well-done egg. I also had a coffee con Leche and a waffle and a toast with avocado and egg extra runny just the way I like it. My cousin love the way they made her coffee not too sweet. She said she will be back and great services. (Like always) it's a very relaxing place to go. read more

They're closed right now. I came to wash house near here. I was admiring the Valentine's Day decorations. I will have to come back when they're open. The coffee and food is very good. My favorite is their Lavender drinks. I want to try something new. I wonder what's new on the menu for this year. read more

We were in the area to play golf and needed somewhere to grab a coffee and breakfast. Did a quick search on Yelp and found Brewja. I'm not much of a coffee drinker but my girlfriend got an horchata latte, which I took a few sips from and I thought it tasted more like a mocha and didn't have much horchata flavor but I still enjoyed it. The surprise was easily their empanadas. I'd come back just for these as they are probably some of the best empanadas I've ever had. These things were full of filling (which is rare) and came out hot and fresh. We tried both the spinach and egg & the cheese and potato, I loved em both. The chimichurri it came with was also tasty. Definitely grab a spoon to make sure you can get some on every bite. 10/10 would come back for their empanadas alone. They are $7.50 each, but one kept me full for most of the morning and into the afternoon. All the staff here were super friendly and the space is beautifully decorated. Would definitely be open to trying the rest of their lunch menu next time around. read more

Been a while since the last time we went to Brewja. Thought we'd stop in for a quick coffee break since we were in the area. Parking lot is pretty small and limited, but street parking is also available. When we arrived, they seemed busy behind the counter. We were the only ones in line with a few parties waiting for their orders on the side. Took a minute for anyone to acknowledge us. Took 10 min before we were able to order- Coquito Iced Coffee and Mazapan Latte. Then another 20 min to get our drinks. I enjoyed the flavors, but found them to be a little too sweet for me. Idk if it's typical to wait so long for drinks here, or if it was a one off experience, but it is something to consider if you're looking to be in and out quickly. read more

So I happened to stop by because I had an appt in the area. I decided to try one of their coffees and a breakfast burrito. Immediately obsessed even after driving an hour back home before I got to eat. It was so good that later that week my husband was in town for a haircut, that I made him go back and bring us back some food lol. Will definitely be back anytime I'm in the area and the hype is very real! read more

Brewja Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Lorenzo, California

Such a cute and cozy spot! As soon as you walk in, the vibe feels warm and inviting. They even had a movie playing on a screen projector which made the atmosphere super relaxing! There are a good amount of seats to choose from as well and it didn't make it seem so crowded. The staff were very friendly too! I ordered a coffee that I didn't realize could only be made hot and when I asked about it, the barista was so generous and offered me another drink option without hesitation. I'd definitely recommend stopping by -- it's the perfect pick-me-up spot! read more

Great spot to grab and go! Small parking lot, but just enough further customers. A had a hot cafe con leche and enjoyed how it was an overwhelmingly sweet. Staff were in the midst of decorating for the holidays. Seem like a very family, friendly and oriented establishment :) There are a few spots for you to have a coffee day or work remotely. If all spots are taken, I still encourage you to grab and go as the prices are very affordable. Cheers! read more

Brewja Coffee - Espresso - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Lorenzo, California

This coffee shop is around my neighborhood and I come here about once a month. The coffee is actually really good, but I honestly can't handle how slow the service is anymore. It consistently takes at least 20 minutes just to get a coffee. Today was a new record, 40 minutes for a single oat latte!!!!! Just one coffee, nothing else!!! I want to support local businesses, but waiting 40 minutes for a basic coffee is kind of crazy. read more

Omg how cute is this spot? Busy on the road for work I wanted a quick pit-stop to grab a brew but figured if I was going to stop, let's make it a fun one. I've heard about Brewja for a few reasons over the last few months, but decided I wanted to try it personally for myself. What a sweet little surprise located in a busy & small strip. To note, circle the lot a few times and cars come and go. (Non-metered) What a menu! While a bit elevated price-wise from just a typical cup of joe at your local donut shop, I was into it and here for it. I noted a local radio DJ had a special coffee on the menu called the Cherry Cream Cold Brew..yum! Is cherry the new it-flavor this season? I almost ordered that one, but the amazing staff let me sample the Coquito Iced Coffee (Little Coconut), and I was sold. Other notable mentions: the Fresh Mint Cold Brew, Dulce de Leche Latte, and Mexican Mocha. Also yes, they have a non-sweet coffee menu too..but had to mention the good good! Really cool savory/bakery menu too. I ordered an egg/spinach empanada which they warmed (comes with a delicious Chimichurri Sauce). They also carry Tutuli Coyotas (so fun, look this up!) and other yummy breakfast/snacks. Also to note, this spot is visually and aesthetically a very cool vibe. They had a kiddo movie playing from a projector on one wall, and really just the place to-be if you're looking to open your laptop while on the road. If in San Lorenzo again, would love another visit. read more

I used to love coming to Brewja and was excited to stop by again, but my recent visit was a bit disappointing. I waited nearly 30 minutes for a pre-made empanada that they had actually forgotten about. When I asked, there was no apology--just a casual response as if it was still "warming up." The drinks were good, but the experience left me feeling a little brushed off. The music also felt out of place for the vibe--hearing Pitbull and Lady Gaga blasting at 10am was kind of strange. Hopefully that was just a one-off, because this used to be one of my favorite spots. read more

I Came in on March 30 @ 10:40am. I ordered an elote toast and Dulce de leche coffee. Sadly she had no elote toast. Which I understood. My daughter wanted a small watermelon drink or lemonade. The cashier said they did not have any. A lady came from the back and said she can make one. But the cashier did not look to happy that her coworker came out to offer after she had said no. They had some cups of a small pineapple and large watermelon drinks in the front. I asked her if we can have a small watermelon and she said no we had to buy the large at this point I felt she didn't want to sell us anything. So we only purchases 3 items. I use to bring my kids here between 2020 trough 2023 and today my daughter asked if we can come back and give it a try. They use to sell unicorn drinks chocolate and strawberry milk for kids. we would love to see those come back for the small kids. read more

We were given a warm welcome by the owner, and our order was taken and delivered to our table promptly. As a person who eats gluten free, I was delighted to learn they now have GLUTEN FREE TOAST! So I ordered the hot chick toast with gluten free bread, and asked if they can add bacon. It was no problem. I think next time, I would add an extra egg if possible. I had iced matcha with almond milk, which cooled me down when my food was spicy :) My husband got the chorizo burrito and steak empanada and iced horchata coffee, all of which he enjoyed. We have been coming here for years, even before they had a full food menu and before their renovations. It's always been a solid spot with delicious selections here. I'm proud to see how far Brewja has come. read more

this is a cute little coffee shop on the corner of a small plaza in san lorenzo. they had a few outdoor seating with cute chairs -- perfect for outdoor. when you step inside, you'd find seating from left to right. beach style vibe is what I'm getting. it's cozy enough to stay and do some work rather than just grabbing a coffee. they also have ample amount of parking. service was fast and staff were also polite. I ordered a spinach feta croissant and that was yummy. For drinks, I ordered a menu item -- coquito iced coffee; it's sweet iced coffee with whipped cream on top. I'd totally recommend it. read more

I stumbled upon Brewja Coffee in San Lorenzo by chance, while picking up food nearby--never knowing such a hidden gem existed here. Drawn in, I tried their Mazapán Latte, and it was nothing short of magic: smooth, nutty, and sweet in the most comforting way. The space carried a warm and inviting ambiance, perfect for slowing down, and the staff on duty radiated kindness and care. What started as a simple stop turned into a delightful discovery, and I know this won't be my last visit. read more

This is such a cute little cafe! I came in with a couple girlfriends for a morning meetup to celebrate my birthday, and the staff were so sweet! I've never been there before, but they were really patient about all my questions and comments. They have several tables and chairs inside and a cute little swingy chair, too. They have pastries to eat with your choice of cafe beverage as well, but I think sometimes they can run out of them when they've been busy. I had ordered the churro toast and the tropical green tea. My friends had ordered other things, too, but I had forgotten exactly what they had. I know one friend had ordered the peanut butter and banana toast, but I forgot what drinks they ordered. We were all really happy with our orders! The churro toast was perfect. I think it was delicious: perfectly toasted, but not too sweet! I also enjoyed my green tea. I dislike hot beverages, so the iced green tea was perfect for me! I had a really great experience at this cafe, and I would not hesitate to come back! It was really sweet of them to let me and friends eat the mini birthday cake that my friends got for me even though it was an "outside food." I really appreciated that! read more

Typically an unfortunate stereotype about small business coffee shops is that they tend to have mediocre drinks and high prices. However this is not the case with Brewjas. Brewjas drinks are delicious. I have tried the Mexican Mocha, the Dulce de Leche Latte, and Horchata coffee, and all were amazing. While often on the sweeter side, the drinks are always enjoyable and the menu is beautifully unique and inspired by Latino culture. The service is good, and the owner is extremely friendly. The ambiance is also great, it is a nice small cafe you want to stick around. The prices however, are a little high. In my opinion it is worth paying for in order to support local businesses and also because of how good the drinks are, but it is something to keep in mind. Overall a great coffee shop, one of my favorites! read more

This place is so nice. The interior is super cute for a coffee shop and they have a nice selection of coffee you can't find just anywhere besides the regular coffees. They also have a nice selection of food. I tried their coquito iced coffee and I'll be back to try more of their items. Everyone was nice and service was quick! read more

Iced Coquito Coffee is the bomb!! The moment I took a sip, I was greeted by the rich, bold flavors of Peruvian coffee, expertly balanced with a hint of cinnamon and shredded coconut. The combination was intriguing and refreshing. However, I found it slightly too sweet for my taste buds as they premade the combination. Strong coffee though! Try! Try! Try it!!! read more

Love Yelp for this!! Found this little gem in San Lorenzo on my quest to find good local coffee shops. I have been here twice, both on an early weekday morning so it wasn't very crowded. They have a very cozy interior with good seating if you want to relax or work on your laptop. The service was friendly. The lovely lady at the register recommended the S'mores mocha. I was worried it may turn out too sweet but it wasn't. The drink was delicious and this was in their seasonal holiday menu. I also tried their breakfast sandwich which was quite decent. They also have a variety of sweet and savory treats. Overall a good local coffee shop to visit! read more

I absolutely love this hidden gem in the bay area! I love how nearly everything is made in-house and they put a lot of care/time crafting each drink/food. The drinks I've tried are the iced Mexican mocha and the iced coquito coffee. Both delicious and had a good dosage of coffee in there. The Mexican mocha was surprisingly a bit more sweeter than the coquito coffee. I personally enjoyed the coquito more and would get it next time. I love how both drinks were bold in coffee flavors, and didn't taste like sugary drinks. The whipped cream was heavenly! I also got the churro croissant which was delicious. Love how it is a bit soft inside and the churro coating was so good. The workers were super friendly and efficient with their process. Would totally be back to try more item on their menu. read more

Giving this a 4 only because I came on a Sunday & they closed early then returned a few days later and no food was available. Apparently the owner got hurt Sunday and cooks everything? As a business owner though you've gotta create systems in place so the spot can run properly without you - unless of course you're the chef at a restaurant named after you perhaps lol I got a lot of work done before they closed and the staff both time were very friendly and apologetic about the above I hope to come back when the owner is there cooking up a storm for her customers. read more

Cute coffee spot! Stopped by for coffee after having lunch across the street. They have indoor and outdoor seating, and the ambiance is cozy and inviting. I loved the macrame hanging chairs, which add a playful yet relaxing element to the space. It's a great spot to sit and enjoy your coffee. I ordered the Horchata Cold Brew, and my cousin got the Dulce de Leche Latte. The staff who took our order was very friendly and helpful. Our drinks were good. My Horchata Cold Brew wasn't overly sweet, which I liked. There was a good balance of horchata and coffee flavors. read more

My hubby and I wanted to go for a drive! So we headed to our go to coffee date spots... For a chilly, we both got a large dulce de leche with oat milk. I noticed their very lovely decorated monthly special. March Matcha with a variety of matcha lattes. I love a good matcha. And so does my daughter. She typically sticks to a basic matcha. But I wanted to change it up. So I asked the barista what she recommended. She said she loves the Strawberry Horchata and the Lavender. So I decided to get both! And of course my daughter wasn't adventurous and turned down the drinks... she didn't like the floral notes, and she said the strawberry one reminded her of the special k strawberry cereal...I took a sip of each and claimed them both! I finished my cup of coffee and had an iced matcha... The lavender matcha was so calming to drink. You can smell relaxation in a cup. But the taste was light and not overwhelming. I savor the lavender matcha as I dealt with stressful emails! This afternoon, I drank the strawberry matcha. It does taste like Special K Red Berries... it's like a delightful dessert. The three flavors created this fusion that had a nice blend. Not one overpowering the other... it's like a dance of flavors with each sip. Today was a happy drink day! I recommend you go try their matcha drinks before the month is over! read more
