Being both a "college town" and an "old-money town" Pocatello has more than it's fair share of great coffee shop cafes. The competition keeps all of them reaching. Some reach for the best internet cafe vibe, while others strettchhh to be like Bru House Galilei. It takes a few left turns navigating one-way streets to get there, and parking can result in a little bit of a walk, but that's a minimal price for the reward. Being a corner building gives It full opportunity to be creative with a branching layout, with sidewalk seating on the W. Wyeth side. As soon as we walked through the door on N. Main, the calm of the dimly lit maze set on us like a warm blanket. With just enough windows and glass doors here and there to let in light, which shows paths to the cozy little intimate tuck aways of seating. The walls invited our eyes, busy with canvasses (which you can purchase) by local artists. The art is great, but I was pretty hungry and in need of caffeine!, so I decided to let photos talk about the art. Scanning the display case of some fresh and tasty looking goodies, and taking a look at the brief Made-To-Order breakfast menu, we decided on some food, and coffees. Taimee and Michael were ready to make this experience an undeniable "the best" contender. They are truly "Top-Shelf" staff. Taimee, the knowledgeable and quick one was gone lickity split--back in their little kitchen nook cooking up our eggs and other breakfast items. Meanwhile Michael's adept barista skills crafted us some wonderful, rich and nutty coffee & espresso drinks. With several areas to sit, at sturdy tables all showcasing stories, we decided on the main step-up, railed "overlook lounge." Sitting by a front window gave us a good view throug the place while we ate. I never knew a little nook kitchen, using counter-top appliances could borne a chef! The food Taimee made back there was neat and well presented. Most importantly it tasted fantastic! Quality fresh-cracked egg, meaty & tasty sausage, topped by a nippy cheese on an english muffin--"The Sunrise Breakfast Sandwich," followed by the most amazing and unique bread pudding I have ever eaten. It's made in-house by one of them bright and early. Michael being the cordially smooth front-face one, gave us some history of the place, and guided me back to take some vid-pics of the "postage stamp kitchen." I left there knowing that Bru House is the one to beat! Thanx for reading. Pictures say a thousand words. read more

Great coffee, great pastries, good music, and the kindest people working there! I had the egg bite (amazing) and the croissant with berries (incredible), my friend had the lemon square (believable). Allowed us to use our refillable cups which is always an added bonus! read more

Stopped in on our way to Glacier. YUM!! I had a delicious drip coffee and my hubby LOVED his cappuccino. Breakfast frittata was nice with the tomatoes, balsamic glaze and salsa. Now the croissant with cream cheese frosting and fresh berries TO DIE FOR! So very flaky, crispy on the outside and simply DELICIOUS! I think the owner or baker made our drinks and prepped our food quickly and with smiles and kindness. Thank you ladies, we love supporting small businesses! Keep doing what you are doing so very well! read more

While we were waiting for friends to arrive in town, my husband and I stopped in for some drinks. This place is so cool! They have some good coffee options, local artwork and smoothies. I opted for a peach smoothie. I wanted something cool and sweet. This smoothie rocked! It was sweet but not overly, like biting into a fresh peach. My husband and I hung out and chatted as we had our drinks. It was quiet and quaint. Perfect start to our time in Pocatello. read more

A little disorganized, and the cappuccino was ok. I expected more. Barista was also a little stressed out it seemed. Cool shop though, and a laid back vibe. read more

Beautiful vibes, cute coffee shop and very very good coffee. I wish i got my pastry warmed up but it was delicious anyways! highly recommend for any photo shoots too! Also the people are very cool and nice :) read more

Wanted to love the coffee, it was mediocre. In the time of a pandemic I would hope the workers and staff as well as ownership would worry about public safety, absolutely no regard taken. No masks, distancing, sanitizer, nothing. I'm all for supporting local, but I won't be back any time soon, especially because the cappuccino was watered down espresso with little foam! What a waste for a risk. Even if you aren't into wearing a mask, the coffee just doesn't hold up. read more

Awesome spot! I love the feel of the place-fun atmosphere with plenty of seating and outlets for computer work. The decor is fun and cozy-a really nice, chill vibe! It's a great place to read, meet up with friends, or hunker down to get some work done. And the tunes have always been on point The menu is pretty standard for a cafe-lots of variety to fit your mood. They offer a small variety of pastries and grab-n-go snacks if you need a little something. I've only ordered Americanos and they are delicious-the espresso is yummy! I believe they will soon be expanding with more food items too! Hurray for the Bru House-a great local coffee shop! Glad Poky has a place like this! read more

Just came into town and was told about this place. Great atmosphere, cozy and delicious. Happy we came, we will be back :)

They have good coffee, good service, comfortable atmosphere, but THEY ARE NEVER OPEN!!! They close at 1 on Saturdays. ONE!!! You just can't go there on a weekend without getting the bums rush. Try the Coll Market instead, they're open until 5. read more

The most beautiful coffee shop I've ever been to. This place is like an art gallery that serves coffee. Very much a jewel amongst the many beautiful shops in Old Town. Coffee is really good although the blended drinks always have huge chunks of ice (bad blender maybe?) so I avoid those. I highly recommend anyone who enjoys local art and artisan crafts and enjoys coffee stop in, you will not be disappointed. read more
