Strange Brew Cafe is a decent local option for a caffeine fix and casual breakfast/lunch in the…read moreheart of downtown Binghamton. The interiors are tastefully decorated with funky wall art and pictures of celebrities sipping caffeinated beverages, with a playlist of popular songs from the 90s for music. They have a very small patio area out front and a couple tables inside, and seem to do a lot of grab-and-go takeout business. The staff I encountered were all very friendly, and menu prices somewhat reasonable. Since it was breakfast time, we went with a bagel (with cream cheese) and egg & cheese sandwich for food, and a mocha and cappuccino for drinks. All were of decent quality, so I'd rate them an overall 4.5 out of 5, and am happy to round up due to the nice interiors, friendly service, and cool, local vibes. The egg & cheese sandwich was prepared with a tasty bread that they said was made in-house. If you find yourself in downtown Binghamton looking for a local spot that's a good alternative to chains like Panera or Starbucks, I recommend a visit to Strange Brew Cafe.

Another thing that annoyed me is that the garbage can is exactly where you stand to pick up your drinks. They need to figure out a new spot for it because it's inconveniently placed. Their drinks are also way over priced. My husband had a macchiato and I had the peanut butter chocolate smoothie... disgusting for $7+. It didn't taste like peanut butter nor did it taste like chocolate , it was earthy and indigestible and got me sick. Lastly you should have a dress code for your workers, they look like they just rolled out of bed which is kind of gross if you ask me .

We sat at a high top and ordered drinks... not the fastest service, but seemed to be just one bartender. Not our favorite cocktails as they were just a little off. Just one of the 4 would have gotten the same drink again. For food, seems like everyone else wanted their chicken sandwich!!! Nice sized breaded chicken on bun with delicious, crispy fries!!! I also loved my chicken and feta Greek type salad. Nice portion with perfectly cooked and cut chicken. The flavors were so good, I didn't even try their dressing which they serve on the side. We were a bit full for dessert, but also only option was their crepes... maybe next time. A good option if you have family members with food allergies, or are vegan/vegetarian. Everything is clearly marked on menu.

I can understand why the menu is so diverse and there are a million drink options. Also, the customer service was incredible, everyone was very nice. One downside is that there is only one bathroom but the upside is that it was very very clean. I also love all the options they had for drinks. They have a daily drink of the day that changes. My friends got that and loved it. I got one of there seasonal drink, the Spring Fling macchiato. It was a lavender and marshmallow macchiato with cold foam and sprinkles. The food options are pasties and creative toast. I personally did not get food but my friend got toast (the prosciutto & pesto one) and she loved it. All in all I would recommend this place 10/10!

The pizza was decent, but the drinks and ambiance were the real highlights. I would definitely consider popping in again when I'm in the area. It's a perfect spot to unwind. My only wish is that they had a few more items on the food menu!
