    Pastries
    Michelle P.

    Brother Joe is such a charming gem in the Georgetown neighborhood! The space is bright and cozy with whimsical artwork that gives it a playful, welcoming vibe. I had the ham and cheese raclette and it was sooo good, perfectly melty with the bacon onion jam adding just the right touch of sweetness and depth. Easily one of the best brunch bites I've had in a while. They also have an amazing pastry selection. I tried the berry crumble bar and I'm still thinking about it. Service was fast and friendly, which made the experience even better. It does get busy on weekends, so definitely try to go early if you want to grab a good seat. I will say I wasn't a fan of the matcha, it tasted chalky and the powder didn't seem to be the best quality. Hopefully they can improve this in the future because everything else was such a hit!

    Brojo Croissant amazing  delicious and full of flavor
    Stacey G.

    Stopped by for a late breakfast with the family. Really enjoyed the food and the decore. Had the croissant sandwich which was delicious and full of flavor. Grilled cheese was devoured by the kids and also tried the chilaquiles bowl. Definitely will be coming back! Ambiance is great with some very comfy seats and couches. Service was great and fast too.

    Ham and Egg Raclette (replaced the ham with turkey)
    Nayia R.

    Hidden gem in Georgetown. I was in the area taking care of some things and wanted to get coffee and food. This location showed up in my Yelp search and I was immediately interested in checking them out. You walk in and immediately it's a great ambiance. The interior design is gorgeous. The staff at the register was very friendly and helpful. I was with my daughter, we ordered the Chicken Caesar wrap and Ham & egg raclette but I substituted the ham for turkey and it was absolutely delicious. My daughter said the same for her wrap. I also order the white chocolate mocha w/ almond milk and it was so good. Glad I tried them out. This will also be my go to spot when I have friends and family visit. The Georgetown area is so cool to me and has great eats around. Will be back for sure.

    Honey miso espresso
    Anna B.

    Was next door and swung by for a quick coffee, being especially intrigued by the mention of a honey miso espresso. That's exactly what I got, and holy moly is it good! It's this perfect blend of savory, sweet and creamy all in one, with the boost of a double espresso shot to power you through the day. I'll definitely be trying to reverse engineer this, and everything else on their large specialty coffee and tea menu :) Very nicely decorated interior with high ceilings as well!

    Miso honey latte
    John W.

    I was driving thru Georgetown and noticed a shop with plants surrounding all the windows, which made me very easily lured in. Brother Joe is simultaneously the most exciting and relaxing shop I've visited: the lighting was warm and low, most decorations were rhino themed, full of plants, and most importantly some great couches. I ordered a ham and egg raclette which was a nice balance of savory and sweet, and a miso honey latte which was the most umami coffee I've had and I loved it. They sell Herkimer coffee which ranges from $15 - $17 for 12 ounces and lots of other fun drinks and coffee gadgets. The ambiance was comfortable, service was great, and food and coffee was amazing. Will be back again soon!

    Cute little coffee shop! Coffee, breakfast dishes and some pastries are easy to be had at Brother Joe. The selections of food and drink are pretty fun and unique and the flavors were great. I had a horchata themed coffee drink and a BLTA sandwich and was super pleased with both. They have a few inside and outside tables, plus there are a ton of kitchen, cocktail items and even bottles of booze for purchase. It is a fun little place to get coffee or even buy a gift for someone. Worth another stop.

    BLAT
    Melissa N.

    Cute casual spot and you order up front then find a seat. There's a small seating area around the corner that's tucked away from their shop area. The person who helped us was very friendly, helpful and enthusiastic. I got the BLAT with egg and it was beyond delicious! Also got the tiramisu latte which was recommended to us and she said that if we didn't like it, she'd make us something else. My friend got the prosciutto sandwich and she said that was also delicious. I don't know why I haven't been here sooner!! Will definitely be back.

    B.L.A.T. Croissant, Iced Mocha
    Eva H.

    I think this might be the best breakfast sandwich I've ever had. It's a cute space and it looks like there's a store section that I'd like to explore in the future! Service was lovely and quick. But seriously, the sandwich was incredible and I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu. They had some fun seasonal options for drinks that I'm also looking forward to trying, but the basic iced mocha I got was great!

    Cute little meet up place

    A cool breakfast place with something for everyone type. The Cafe has wines, lots of sauces, coffee mugs, beans, coffee makers and airplants. I ordered coffee and sat down for a while to catch up with friends. The menu had a lot of items, mainly breakfast and sandwiches and some desserts. Service was good, the barista was friendly and answered one of my friend's question reg their teas.

    boy, was this a great find! not sure why it hasn't been on my radar, given how often i seem to find myself in georgetown but i plan to make up for lost time and frequent this place when my schedule allows. great drink options with interesting flavors in a variety of sizes, depending upon the quantity of caffeine you desire. nice array of savory breakfast options! i chose the breakfast sandwich and its after 4pm and i honestly have not been hungry since eating it at 9am....that says something! there were people working at tables although it didn't immediately seem there is wifi to be used (?) i didn't ask but would actually like to confirm an answer to this because id love to come and situate myself there for a couple of hours getting some things done, if so. i really enjoyed what i ordered and the ambiance is great. someone with a flair for decorating has had a hand in designing the interior and it works! there's a lot of live plants in good shape so clearly they are being adequately cared for and the customers seem to be as well.

    Great food and great service. There are only about three tables to sit at. We went on a weekday though and there was only one other person seated. There is free street parking right outside. Food: The breakfast burrito was stupendous. Loved the verde sauce and the meat that melts in your mouth. The home-style potato's inside were also a nice touch and we added avocado to really tie the whole thing together. The croissant sandwich was nice and crisp with fresh ingredients. It gets a bit oily as many grilled croissants do. Since my hubby and I split and exchanged the burrito and croissant, the oily aspect wasn't overwhelming. Drink: I loved my snickers latte. The barista said that they make their own syrups and that they cut nicely into their bold roasts. I loved the almond and caramel combo. Cute ambience with portraits of animals in people clothing (always a fan :)

I'm actually not a bagel guy, nor do I ever think about them when it comes to grabbing a quick bite somewhere but this was a perfect opportunity to try it again. There was an assortment of bagels, and I got half of an everything bagel and - the one that several of my coworkers highly recommended - the rosemary bagel. Both go well with cream cheese. - The everything bagel was pretty standard; I could taste the garlic and sesame seeds throughout. Garlic was quite powerful on this one though, and I almost thought of garlic bread until I remembered bagels are harder to chew on. - My favorite was the rosemary bagel, just like my coworkers. I could taste the herbs clearly on this one; it was aromatic yet a little bitter. It was balanced with the saltiness already present on the bagel. Since I didn't go to their physical location - which looks like quite a walk from Georgetown - I have yet to see the inside of this place. Having some of their bagels makes me wanna go check it out someday!

I just ordered a half dozen of bagels this time but would like to sit a bit next time. Cute place in the neighborhood. Everything Bagel was kind of on the darker side and I was worried it might be whole wheat or something.... Just baked a bit darker than my preference. Got them home and they were crusty with a good chew. Will be back again next time I'm in Georgetown or Beacon Hill.

My friends ordered a sandwhich and mango margarita as well. I also ordered elote which was delicious!! It was lathered in cream and chili powder and cilantro. Yummy in my tummy! They also ordered churros which was a big portion. The girls gobbled these up quickly lol I offered to buy my friends more margarita but they turned it down. Bummer.

The restaurant is located in SoDo and is home to best sandwich in America. Since this is one of the first sandwich places I've ever tried, I'm not sure if I can attest to that. However, I did think the sandwich was decent value for the portion size, and very juicy and delicious! The Caribbean roast sandwich was packed with so much pork that I could not even fit it in my mouth and had to eat it deconstructed. On the other hand, the Paseo press felt a bit easier to devour, but still had a lot of pork inside in addition to cold cut meat. The chicken thigh in the Caribbean bowl was also soft and tender, easy to eat. The meat was definitely the standout and carrying factor of the restaurant. Needless to say, two sandwiches and two bowls was way too much food for 4 people and we all went home with an extra person's portion of food. The restaurant also contains an area for utensils, napkins, and water. Lots of booth seating around which is great for watch parties etc. Would come back again sometime if I'm craving a good sandwich.

Happily, it delivered! We split the porchetta sandwich, which was quite tasty. Now, I will say it is not quite at the gold-standard level of the porchetta sandwich from the Roli Roti truck in San Francisco, but that is an extremely high bar. The bread here was fantastic, and the sandwich itself was full of flavor. The inside is cute, and watching two guys dedicate their lives to making sandwiches in the open kitchen is part of the fun... I also spotted a tray coming out of the oven that looked like thick, PERFECTLY crispy bacon, - so whatever sandwich that was going into is definitely what I'm ordering if I ever get here again. One warning, though: I hate the chairs. I am not a skinny person, and these chairs are just uncomfortable. There, I said it. Great sandwiches, fun little spot, and I would absolutely come back. Just please, someone, rethink those chairs!

    6/10 Cubano sandwich 6/10 Porchetta sandwich…read more 5/10 cold ham sandwich 4/10 seasonal soup I had high expectations after a family member was recommending the sandwiches here. The interior is cozy and old world city vibes. Not a ton of seating and it can take a bit for getting your sandwich. It took 30-40 minutes to get our sandwiches at lunch time. After we already had waited in line. There was a line out the door when we got there. You order on a tablet and several people in front of us were quite slow ordering and it made the line take awhile. We waited at least 10-15 minutes in the line. They have an order ahead option I would utilize next time. The seasonal soup was kale and potato. It was very bland and watery. I wouldn't get it again. The bread was tough and chewy. You definitely get a jaw workout. Both of the warm sandwiches could have used a side of Au jus to soften the bread. The meat looks generous, but they do the sandwich trick. You fold the meat in the middle to make it look generous. But the ends are basically devoid of meat. Maybe a sliver. Flavors were really good. The mustard on the Cubano had a nice kick. Porchetta had a kick from the chimichurri and pickled peppers. Both were a little spicy and my son didn't love it so we ordered him a cold ham sandwich without the mustard. The cold meats are high quality as well, but definitely a little plain compared to the warm sandwiches. Overall 5/10 experience though. More evenly distributed meat and softer bread it would be A solid 10/10.
