Coffee was so good and the food was to die for also polite service would definitely recommend to eat here

Really enjoyed breakfast this week with family at Brian's Bistro! One of the best lattes I've had in a while, and the biscuits and gravy were delicious! Comfy atmosphere, we enjoyed looking through the old high school yearbooks while waiting for our food. We were probably there at peak time for breakfast, but service was friendly and prices were very reasonable. Will definitely be back next time I'm in town! read more

My wife and I were driving through Connorsville and wanted some good coffee. I checked on Yelp and saw the good reviews for Brian's Bistro and it was a short block off our path, so we stopped in. Service was quick and friendly and (most important) the latte was "just right." We'll be back, and the food menu looked quite inviting. read more

Wonderful Tai Latte and the potato soup was excellent! The prices are very reasonable. The BLT was excellent and the service was excellent as well. The restroom was clean!!! Friendly staff!!! read more

This building has underwent many transformations in the last twenty years. It is no longer a bookstore, but a wonder stop any time of day. They have a dessert case for any special occasion/ celebration or eating your feelings. The hummingbird cake and apple dumplings are like sweet little Grandmas made back in the day. They also have sandwiches and a lunch menu. This pups be a great place to curl up and read the paper or catch up with friends. There is also a bar if you like to eat alone. The atmosphere is as great as the food. read more

I really wish I could give 5 stars, because the food, coffee & treats are delicious. But the service is horrible, if not curt & rude. On two separate occasions I put in a food/drink/dessert order and part of it was the chai tea. Both times I had the same brown haired waitress and she rolled her eyes at me when I got around to ordering the chai. Both times. And then I was ignored. I had no understanding of why I got eye rolls and a huge sigh out of her. I wasn't rude and I was nice and civil. Is chai tea not listed on the menu? It was when I placed these orders. Having worked in the restaurant service industry myself while in college, I would've never done this to a customer. Since this most recent time of rudeness, I have stopped going there. It is a shame that one person ruined this establishment for me, not once, but three times. I am quite befuddled why I was treated with such contempt when I was simply ordering from the menu. One of the times in particular that I came in to place a to-go order, and was treated like dirt, I had just got back into town from getting daily out of town cancer treatment and was starving. Brian's Bistro used to be my favorite place to eat and I really wanted a sandwich, soup, cookies and chai tea to take home and relax with. When I got to telling the waitress writing up my order I also wanted a chai tea she slammed down her pen, gave a huge sigh and rolled her eyes. That upset me greatly. Almost brought me to tears. I had come in as a nice, civil and patient customer. And a cancer patient at that. I was not being mean and was being pleasant. But that had been the second time this lady treated me this way. As a former service industry worker, I know the demands of food service, but not once have I ever treated a customer that way. I am a highly patient and tolerant person, but her treatment towards me, enraged me and I told her to forget my order and I'd never be back due to her. I have never been treated so horribly in a restaurant/cafe EVER! If I would have ever done that in a job I'd be written up. I am not sure how others have had good service at Brian's Bistro, because I haven't. read more

What a fantastic stop in Connersville! It was my first time at Brian's today and the food was great, but second to the food was the atmosphere. Everyone was very friendly and nice. They have daily homemade specials and the prices are extremely reasonable. I left full, but next time plan on trying some of their coffee and deserts. read more

If you can find a place that has good black coffee, you've found a gem! Brian's not only has smooth, rich coffee, but also delicious desserts and other baked goods that will make even the most rigid health nut sneak in more cheat days during the week. I've gotten the chance to try their biscuits and gravy as well as their grilled chicken bacon panini; both of which were astounding! It is not a place meant for a quick eat, I highly recommend taking your time to soak in the atmosphere and relax. Embracing a slower pace is a lost art form, but Brian's allows for this discipline to be practiced with ease. Free tip: the bourbon pecan torte is one of the best specialty coffees that I have had the pleasure of enjoying. read more

Oh Brian's, I want to love you. Truly I do. But it is the details and sometimes basic service which is lacking. Brian's Book Store and Coffee Bar is now more coffee and very few books. Placing the merchandise to the back of the establishment is a no-no. You want your customers to see your books and gifts on their way to the coffee/sandwich bar. Nevertheless, it is the only place in Fayette County to get a latte which doesn't have "Speedway" on the cup. If you get a decent barista, then their coffee beverages are excellent. However often it is a game of chance. The desserts and some sandwiches are homemade. Others are straight from the shelves of Sam's Club. There is no grill so the hot food is dispensed from a crock pot or toaster oven. As one poster stated you need to eat there before the Court House employees invade; so very true! I literally waited 15 minutes for the Coffee of the Day as one city employee had a list of 7-8 orders. The server (rarely more than one) does not know how to prioritize. A simple cup of coffee takes a back seat to the heat and bake orders. Brian's is noisy. Again, the eating area is to the front and right by the entrance. Therefore all the coming and going is done by your table where you're trying to enjoy conversation and food. It is horrible? Absolutely not. But it lacks. It could be fantastic with some tweaking of the interior and servers. read more

What an amazing hidden gem that I bumped into in Connersville. Super delicious food, amazing tasty coffee and scrumptious cookies. The service was phenomenal! I totally recommend this place! read more

this is a gem in Connersville and some of the best home made soup you'll ever taste. located downtown right across from the court house the clientele of course is mainly attorneys and county workers so get there early before they eat all the soup! (which happens to me constantly) also the desserts are homemade and heavenly read more

Carrie made me a pumpkin spice vanilla chai latte and it was perfect! So delicious and very filling! This place is amazing!

I love the soup at Brian's. It's my favorite order for lunch on Saturday. And I love the variety of beverages at Brian's - that's my favorite order when my laptop and I are facing a deadline. A recent remodel updates the ambiance, and I'm looking forward to trying new menu items, too. A very family-friendly place! read more
