Walked in from the street and was pleasantly surprised by the space inside. Long line on a Friday morning but it went pretty quickly. Lots of quirky seats and "decor" as it also doubles as a theater outside of coffee shop hours. The breakfast Sammie's were delicious, as was the lemon poppyseed muffin. Very moist with a slightly over-the-top sweet icing. Chai's were pretty average with lots of cinnamon. We sat out back by the water and it was a beautiful way to spend a slow morning with our toddler! read more

I enjoyed this coffee shop which has a very large open area for sitting but you could easily walk past it since the front door is subtle (I didn't see a big sign for this place but google maps guided me right to it after I found (free) street parking;) I wasn't sure what to get but the kind lady recommended a couple different drinks and I ended up getting the Cafe Miel to drink while doing some work. It was delicious (not too sweet which was exactly what I was looking for). I enjoyed the windows which brighten the space even more. The ceiling is high so the area feels open and large. I think there were mainly only wooden tables and chairs (not a comfy chair area or sofa) but I only stayed in the main room so I'm not exactly sure if there are more seating options. I didn't realize they sell sandwiches and have a soup. I didn't get anything to eat but maybe next time. I would definitely go back if I was back in the Brighton area. read more

What a find! My friends and I were in town for the Stars Hallow event and even with a line far out the door the staff had it moving quick. The coffee was delicious and we were excited to see how well priced it was. My friends loved their drinks too. There's tons of seating indoor and out, fantastic drink options, friendly staff, and a public restroom. Can't recommend this spot enough! read more

Nice, delicious coffee and pleasant atmosphere. A little on the pricey side, $18.00 for 2 coffees, a muffin and a banana bite.

I've lived in Brighton for over 6 years and went for the first time! I've been trying to support local with the current political climate and I'm glad I am! This will be my new go to. Very friendly staff, great coffee options. I got a cold brew with sugar free hazelnut and almond milk and it was delicious! Also got a braided cinnamon stick and after heating it up, it was the bomb! The inside is a great vibe. Very relaxed. Seems like a good place to have coffee with a friend or to do some studying! read more

Best family owned; independent coffee shop I know. Everyone is friendly and greets you with a smile. Their coffee is great and I always enjoy the Breakfast Sandwich. They have a beautiful place to sit outside on Mill Pond and watch the ducks and swans. Very relaxing place to go and sit. read more

Man, Brighton is lucky to have this gem of a spot downtown. Part theatre, part shop, part spacious coffee house, all amazing. The first thing you notice is the space. There's tons of it and it's decorated in such a charming way, with loads of seating including both tables and dining chairs as well as more casual couches and chairs for lounging, giving the place a real cosy, homey atmosphere. There's a fireplace in one wall, and a piano in the room as well, reminding you that they're an arts space as well. I saw every kind of visitor here--younger folks studying, kids and small children enjoying beverages and snacks, business meetings, friends meeting up, grab and go guests, and folks like me, solo workers looking for a place to park and catch up on email. Everyone is welcome here. They also have a couple of beautiful outdoor spaces, one that looks out into the pond behind the building, and a few tables in the front along main street. They roast their own beans here which is a pretty good indicator that they're more than just a cool space, they probably have some great drinks here too. The coffee counter is spacious and offers quite a spread of baked goods. If you're more hungry than snacky they also have a few soups and sandwiches on the menu. I personally went for a cinnamon twist and a turnover and both were wonderful. For my beverage I opted for a mocha and it was also very well done. I haven't had the pleasure of enjoying the theatre component of their building but for excellent food, bev, and atmosphere it makes for a more than fine spot to spend your time. read more

The vibe is always warm and welcoming, making it the perfect place to relax, catch up with friends, or even get some work done. They host fun events that bring the community together, and now they even have a book club--definitely worth checking out! The food and drinks never disappoint. I had the most delicious gluten-free/dairy-free cranberry lemon muffin--so flavorful and perfectly baked! My husband enjoyed the Brutus sandwich, and every time I come, I order a chai tea with coconut milk. It's smooth, perfectly spiced, and always hits the spot. Great coffee and amazing treats! read more

Excellent food, service, and ambiance. Welcoming, friendly. Reminds me of Seattle coffee shops. Roasted coffee in house, housemade pastries, and lunch menu (sandwiches, salads, and soups). Sandwich names are a nod to Shakespearean lit. All things we have tried are delicious and fresh. Many seasonal items are fun to look forward to. Real cream. Relaxing vibes: open, lots of natural light, ample seating inside (about 50) and patio that overlooks pond. Restrooms seemed to be monitored better since they added coded entry doors; music is eclectic and not too POP-u-lar. Parking along street or back. Making the trip is always worth it. read more

This local coffee shop on the downtown strip of Brighton is great. The shop has a hipster rustic, cozy feel to it. My bf buys their Chiapas blend of beans whenever we're in town-they make a mighty tasty brew. Every pastry and coffee I've had from here has been delicious. Service is super friendly too. read more

This place has a very cool atmosphere. It's an old building with lots of space, it is always packed and there are sometimes musicians/performers. They have all sorts of different sandwiches, muffins, pastries,etc. in the window. I've never eaten here but the food looks good. I usually get the vanilla latte and it is tasty. They have a big assortment of different drinks and I like the drawings/descriptions on the whiteboard; it spells out what the different drinks are & milk to espresso ratio. read more

i'm so impressed with Brad coffee house with the roast and everything that they do I was really impressed with the atmosphere. I really love the service. Everything was on point. I really was grateful to pop in have a word that was fantastic. The Brazilian was outstanding. They were very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about speaking with me especially the roaster that roast and I was pathetic about everything. I commend everybody the team and keep up the good work producing great coffee for the region. I would love to have more coffee from you guys. I would love to see if you guys can open the house to doing roasting sessions and speak about cupping. There are so many things about a unique spot that is in Brighton that there are not too many good coffee shops around mostly that there are chain coffee spots I think to say that it really grateful to meet people in the coffee realm. If you're travel through Brad, I definitely recommend this place. I highly recommend their pavers or anything that you pick is not gonna be a bad sale. I recommend this because it's five stars all the way through they do have food sandwiches like stuff like that minimal stuff but I recommend you to definitely seek out their coffee. I think it's epic that you have such a great product and can speak volume about coffee. it Put Brighton on the map. It's such a wonderful humbling warm experience to do justice for coffee and that is farm to cup. read more

As an update to my earlier review I finally got around to trying some of the pastries this coffee shop offers up and they were so good that I had to update my earlier review to capture this. On this particular trip I ended up getting an assortment of their cinnamon twists, almond creme turnovers and raspberry chocolate muffins. All of them were what I would call higher end pastries that had great taste, flakiness, moistness (muffin) with complementary ingredients/flavors that took these desserts over the top. So so good! If you are a fan of fine pastries as I am, these desserts are not to be missed and I would suggest that you pair them up with your coffee drink the next time you visit this establishment as you will not be disappointed. read more

Met some friends here for a chit chat over coffee. I was pleased with the quality of the coffee and the space as a whole but I was a little disappointed that when I asked the baristas what types of coffee they had I was met with a blank stare. I then had to ask if they had dark roast or medium roast and they then replied medium. So look, I'm not expecting every barista to be a coffee expert. But if you're working at a coffee shop it should be pretty standard that you understand what you're brewing. I felt uncomfortable asking about their pour over options since I didn't expect to get much helpful information. Either way I'd return but I just was a little disappointed. read more

I've been here a handful of times over the years but I find myself frequenting the BCH more and more often. The staff is friendly and there's a ton of seating with a quiet nook area upstairs where there aren't any speakers playing the house music if you're looking to study or read. The coffee is good and the treats and pastry always look tantalizing, but I have yet to try them. I dig the location for the days I'm coming in with my little boy on our way to the Imagination Station. I can drop in and caffeinate and grab him a hot cocoa, and we're off. read more

Great place for a Sami and coffee. Very quaint right in downtown. They have a great morning selection but pretty busy in the mornings.

This is a lovely coffee shop with outstanding coffee, tasty treats, and a few more substantial choices like sandwiches. If you're in the mood for sweets, the iced cinnamon roll is an indulgent delight, and the coffee is superior to that found in many chain coffee shops. Service is friendly, with helpful employees who answer questions with a smile. The homey, inviting seating area is perfect for socializing or quietly studying. You have your choice between comfy lounging on a cushy chair or sofa, or sitting at a table. There's also an amazing patio overlooking the water, complete with the serene sound of a fountain. Add to that the outstanding location in the midst of beautiful downtown Brighton, and you have a destination worth visiting. read more

Cute theater, coffee and tea shop. It's a big coffee shop. Cool counter area. We ordered the peppermint mocha, chai tea latte, mystic mint tea and a regular mocha. The mystic tea is lightly minty, smells more potent than once it is steeped. The peppermint mocha, mocha and chai latte were all good. read more

Great place to meet a friend over coffee, snuggle into a chair and read a book, or dig in and do some work on WiFi. Very hangoutable! Even has games for a low-key date night out. Plus, they have all the specialty milks like almond milk and oat milk and soy milk. Even though it says theatre, I'd call it more like a stage with a setup that's ideal for acoustic music, poetry slams, and other intimate performances. The fireplace in the winter is probably my favorite spot. read more

I like to order the chai tea latte when I'm here. Service is fast though on crowded days the late can get a little longer.

This is one of the best coffee shops in Michigan. It is an interesting coffee shop in downtown Brighton. It is a good place to meet a friend with coffee, read a book, or do some work on WiFi!

They have various choices of tea as well. It is also a place where you can spend your day here because they have many pastries to fill you in! What adds up is that the staff is amazingly friendly!

The Brighton Coffee House is an adorable place to pull up a chair, drink a coffee and maybe enjoy a muffin or other baked goods.

I was meeting an old friend for coffee and we decided to try out Brighton coffeehouse and theater. This is a super cute place and has a authentic coffeehouse design and layout. They have couches with comfy pillows as well as standard and high top seating. They also have a smaller quieter room upstairs if you want a little bit more privacy and a little less buzz. I had the lavender latte with honey, and it was absolutely amazing and reasonably priced. The staff were all very friendly and helpful and space is very clean. They have some pastries like muffins (although I didn't try one, they looked really great). I recommend this location to anyone looking for an authentic alternative to Starbucks and for anyone looking to have a meet up a meeting or do some studying. read more

(Atmosphere, Service, Food, Price & Overall Experience). Atmosphere: 5 its like the setting of the show 'Freinds' with little tables, couches and cozy corners and outdoor seating with great views on the mill pond. Service: 5 very friendly and helpful, they will suggest just the write drink or treat to try. Food: 5 its super hot super fresh and made to order. Price: 4 it's a little pricey but they have a great rewards program which even it out to a good deal Overall Experience: 5 This is a great place to work, meet with a friend or just relax with a book. read more

Decent coffee, great atmosphere. I love when Brighton coffeehouse has live music here. Super cool to see local talent showcased in front of an audience (sometimes for the first time). They have a bunch of different GF and vegan pastry options as well as delicious coffee, teas, and smoothies. My favorite part of this place is not the coffee but the space itself. It's massive, there are lots of tables inside and out with a front and back patio. Definitely try to stop in and see someone perform here if you can! read more

Expertly crafted beverages of every variety. I am a coffeehouse snob and this is absolutely the best coffee house ranging from Howell to Fenton to Novi to Farmington to Ann arbor. Previously, my favorite coffeehouse was in Grand Rapids. A little place called lantern. This is the only coffee house I've found in any state in the past five years that rivals it. First, let me talk about the stratti. Are unique blend of condensed sweetened milk, milk, espresso and foam. The perfect amount of caramel drizzled in. The second drink to talk about is the cortado. I am on somewhat of a search for the perfect version of this most exquisite expression of espresso. The drink is so simple that it's complex to make well. The drink was made very well and even served the traditional yet uncommon way of a small glass of mineral water alongside it. My only qualm is that I enjoy the drink with a darker, more burnt tasting espresso. But the drink itself was second only to one I had in California a few years ago. This coffee house is worth the wait, worth the drive and an absolute must visit if you are in downtown Brighton. I drive past several read more
