The menu is great, lots of food options from bagels, toast English muffins, avocado toast, Brie & fig toast, peanut butter, toast, and grilled cheese sandwich sandwiches. Well, in addition to muffins, croissant cookies, scones a nice drink, selection, and winter drink specials. I ordered the blueberry scone (so delicious, def a new FAV) and it's from Costex bakery in Healdsburg. I ordered a cappuccino, I received a latte. Little disappointing, but I didn't complain, it was definitely a good latte. I was looking forward to a nice foamy cappuccino. No biggie. I definitely recommend anyone to check them out. Especially if you're hungry.

It's got bar seating too! There's also some board games if you want something to play with friends over drinks. Ordered a 12oz matcha latte with almond milk ($7) and opted to have it unsweetened. Overall smooth but not too strong, and a tiny bit sweet probably from whatever almond milk they use! I like mine a bit stronger and it's not the best I've had but decent! "For here" mugs are always a plus in my book too. Brew is unique that it doubles as a cozy bar too once the late afternoon rolls around. They've got interesting events happening throughout the month posted on their sign. Some of their food and pastries are sourced from local Red Bird Bakery and Village Bakery too if you're hungry! Parking might suck, you could find street parking maybe on 8th St or if you're early you could park by the meters for free before 9AM. There's a $1/hr parking garage right nearby but if there's nothing, best to park at SR Plaza for free and make the 5min walk over. I really like the vibes of Brew and wanna come back for a happy hour one day! It's nice to see a very queer friendly cafe/bar rolled into one!

They are very forward about their fierce advocacy for LGBTQ+ rights with rainbow flags everywhere. I am here for it! Let's talk about the food and drinks! First, I come here semi-regularly and I am a huge fan of their breakfast burrito and breakfast sandwich! My other favorite food item is not on their regular menu anymore, but I LOVE when they do their baked oatmeal. Their coffee is great here, which is from Ritual Roaster in San Francisco. If you come here in the Fall, their seasonal Pumpkin Latte is my favorite Pumpkin Spice latte in the area. So good! They also have a great selection of locally brewed beers, but I've never actually come here at any other time besides morning. They host lots of fun events and have live music and trivia nights. A true, community establishment! The service is friendly. They know their regulars and they are knowledgeable about their food and drinks. I like the inside cafe, but I almost always sit outside in their large, parklet. This parklet was established during Covid times, and for awhile it was taken down, but thankfully it's back! If you haven't checked out Brew then you definitely should! Come and support them and their progressive causes!

I can't remember what the other people in my party got, but they raved about their dishes as well. I did make the mistake of NOT ordering the Cafe de Ollo and got standard coffee instead. Wish I had upgraded my cup to something with a little more flavor. Would definitely recommend or return again when in town. As a side note: We picked this place because it was listed as dog friendly, however we were told once arriving that it was only for service animals. Fortunately our small dogs were allowed in for our meal, and stayed at our feet the entire time. But it was unfortunate that this was listed wrong on their Yelp.

They offer a selection of coffee, teas, pastry's, sandwiches, coffee beans, mugs, and more. I ordered a matcha latte. It was decent but I could tell wasn't as high quality matcha as some of the specialty shops in the area. It doesn't come sweetened, so make sure to ask for sweetener if that's your preference. The space itself is great for getting work done. They have a large indoor seating area with plenty of tables and I noticed many people were working on their laptops or holding meetings. There's a more private room in the back as well as an outdoor patio. Keep in mind that the patio is right next to the SMART train so it can be loud when it passes.

It's really nice inside, clean and bright, lots of seating and a large assortment of coffee, cocoa and other items to purchase to take home. The line wasn't long but it was still nice to get our order taken care of by one of the employees while we waited. When we got to the counter we added a cookie to our order and the drinks came right out! The counter person was very friendly! Here's the thing....unless I missed it there was no restroom? Maybe it was outside? And although I saw mostly all excellent reviews on Yelp, I thought my coffee (the cold Milky Way) was just ok. I'm not sure what would have made it better, but it just wasn't that great. I did like the fact that it had no ice (which means more coffee in your cup) but was still cold and refreshing.
