This place can seem very busy but it is because they manage lines poorly - REALLY poorly. It's…read morebeen that way since it was Acre. The workaround is to order mobile and you get your coffee 50-75% quicker than standing in the line. Food is great for a coffee shop. Coffee drinks are generally better than most places but it can be spotty when busy. Drip coffee is their weak spot. I suspect they leave the coffee out too long but who knows. Why 5 stars? Fast on mobile orders, good food, not that gross and soulless Blue Bottle coffee place on the other side of the mall.

(I passed so many coffee places on the way there!) Even though the coffee I ordered was quite good, I have the say the experience was an unhappy one. Here's why: 1) Very crowded and long wait 2) THEY DO NOT OFFER DECAF!! (Can you imagine?) 3) They had no coffee available when I was finally able to order, so I had to wait even longer while a pot brewed. (See 1) 4) Quite noisy, due to the crowdedness. (See 1) I will not be back.

Service was great, she even asked if I preferred whip cream or not, (highly appreciated this since most places just add the whip cream).

If you come here be prepared to pay and have cash ready. My siblings tried the white raspberry mocha and both liked it as well. I will likely be back!

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 have plenty of outdoor seating, but if it's windy, you can always sit inside. I would definitely give it another try if I'm in the area.

I was leaving a restaurant & walked right smack dab in the middle of the farmer's market. After drooling, I mean looking at the various flavors that Simply Strudels had to offer I ended up buying a whole vanilla bean strudel mainly because the person selling the strudels said that it can be kept in the freezer until ready to serve whether it be whole or just slicing a piece off to defrost & eat. I took my first bite & was sold, hook, line & strudel, I mean sinker! I had seen over the years that Simply Strudels had opened a store front but never had the opportunity to stop by as their hours of operation conflicted with work. But one fine early morning I happened to be driving on Petaluma Blvd., South & noticed the open sign & thought to myself "self, you haven't had breakfast so stop in & get some strudel." So glad I listened to myself! So on this particular day I opted to buy 2 savory portions (1 for that morning & 1 for the next day. Bacon, cheddar & potato and garlic, spinach potato) as well as one sweet portion (fresh meyer lemon cheese strudel). OMG TOO DIE FOR!!! The savory strudels were perfection, I mean I could eat those every day for breakfast! I that fresh meyer lemon cheese strudel was Heaven on a plate, so fresh, crisp & lemony! The place is not overly huge, there are places to sit & eat. They have various savory & sweet strudels for sale as full logs or a portion. Some may think the prices are high but you're getting a handmade strudel that's made with all fresh ingredients & you don't have to stand in the kitchen & make it, someone else has done the work for you. I think it's worth it! They also have a coffee menu so you can get a regular old coffee, espresso, latte, etc. Oh & if you're so incline you can order online for pick up in their store front or order via DoorDash for pick up in their store or for delivery. Though now that I think of it, that delivery feature can be quite dangerous for me!
