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.

(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.

There's also some nice outdoor seating off to the side with more greenery and shade. Ordered one of their spring drinks: Violet Shade, a matcha latte with lavender and mint. I got mine with almond milk and to be half sweetened. It's a bit pricey coming out to $8ish for a hot 12oz drink but I do Ike treating myself once a week for a good cafe stop. I could have settled for a regular matcha too! Love that they give mugs for any "for here" drinks too. Drink was cozy and very good! Lavender was there but didn't overpower the matcha. Good microfoam in the drink and no clumps at the bottom of my mug when the drink was gone! All good signs of a well made matcha drink. Hope to be back soon to try their espresso drinks with their own roasts!

They have lots of options for food and drinks, but I just came in for some pastries and tea. The service was good and very helpful. I wanted to try the gluten free scone, because I'd heard good things about it. Plus, I had to try the Gateaux Basque, even though gluten is not always good for me. The scone was very good, especially with a cup of tea. I ordered the Love Tea, which is really worth pairing with pastries. It has a lot of warming flavors like cinnamon and cacao. The real star here was the Gateaux Basque. A soft cookie-like dough forms the crust while the center has a vanilla custard and a cherry jam of sorts. It has one of the most pleasing textures and flavors I've had in a cake. It is worth coming here just for this, although I will have to come back and try some of their other foods. I would also note that while the quiche looks really good I couldn't justify paying $15 for a slice of it. I realize it comes with a little side salad, but when I asked if I could get it without the salad they said they couldn't charge me less for it. Oh well. Marla SR is a great addition to this neighborhood! Come check them out!

I truly have never had a pastry quite like it and I've thought about it ever since I left to come home to Colorado. I would say this is an absolute must try if you were in the Santa Rosa area. I was not impressed by the Coffey but would go again and again and again for the crebble. Personally, I prefer taking things to go as the space can feel a little bit crowded.

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!

That's how we ended up at Brew. It was our first time there and it left a good impression. I got a SMOKED SALMON BAGEL and it was tasty. All the ingredients seemed fresh and the bagel had a decent amount of cream cheese and salmon. The workers were nice and friendly. Good location. 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.

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.

The outside seating is nice even at 80 degrees. I had the Ruben Pastrami. They make it. I loved the smokey flavor. There was plenty of pastrami. This is a must try! I added mustard which for me was perfect. My husband had the Chicken Kreplach dumplings. They had a soy, maybe miso, butter sauce with breaded fried onions like the ones I put on my green bean casserole which was a perfect complement. My girlfriend had the Veal & Shiitake Pelmeni sour cream & dill. Delicious and filling. I had a sip of the Orange Dream-sickle cocktail. I would like this for dessert. When I come back I'd like to have the Crispy Baby Artichokes. Thank you for such a memorable lunch!!!

We stopped at Grossman's with high hopes, but unfortunately, the service was more of a rumor than…read morean actual experience. It took 30 minutes just to get our drinks. When the food finally arrived, the chicken schnitzel was dry, overcooked, and tasted like it had spent far too long sunbathing under a heat lamp. Once our food was delivered, our waitress performed her most impressive trick of the afternoon: disappearing completely. My water ran out about 10 minutes into battling the Sahara schnitzel and was never refilled--which felt especially cruel considering that entrée required its own hydration plan. To give credit where it's due, the Crimson Revelry cocktail was absolutely delicious, and the fries were very good. Sadly, neither could rescue the rest of the experience. Between the painfully slow service, the vanishing waitress, and the schnitzel that left me both disappointed and dehydrated, I can't see myself ever going back. Grossman's? More like "Gross, man."
