We got a pain suisse and two coffees. She was shocked by the high prices. I'm fine with that when the experience matches. Sadly, neither of us liked our coffees at all and literally threw them out after a few sips. They only had Stevia (vs Splenda, Equal or others), which may be what skewed the flavor for me. The pasty was good, nice and flaky. I find the staff to not be overly friendly. They had a steady line, so clearly a lot of people love this place and I have had some stellar desserts. But if I can't get a good cup of coffee, sit in a cute area (they have no inside space), I will choose another spot.

It was sweet and resembled a gingerbread taste while also not being overly sugary. A nice seasonal flavor!

Nicely designed with cool vibes…read more Their little pastry case had some nice treat options and I liked how they had a menu board that described each type of coffee drink for those that feel intimidated to ask or order something new. I was there with my young daughter so she grabbed a bottled lemonade and a fix decorated sugar cookie. I got a cortado with a chocolate croissant to dip in. We sat at the hightop seating in front of the coffee counter. I liked the pace and offerings of this cafe and I would definitely go back. I want to try one of their affogatos! (they also just sell delicious looking gelato by the scoop!)

I immediately ordered it for my daughter (make sure you request for the birthday sign if you want it!) and put in my date of pickup and time. pickup was easy at the front by the cash register. she pulled my cake and it looks just like the photo on the website! my daughter was delightfully excited when we surprised her with the cake. her and her cousins enjoyed the cake together after singing her a little birthday song! super excited to come back here and try their baked goods.

10/10 -- highly recommend!…read more I visited Brecotea in Glen Allen, VA, and I loved everything about it. The café was cute and had a very chill vibe. Whether you're planning a breakfast or lunch date with a friend, grabbing a coffee, or just need a cozy workspace to get some things done, Brecotea is the place. This bakery offers both sweet and savory treats! I ordered the Bacon Stick, which was to die for-- the cheese and bacon combo just melted in my mouth., The Savory Chicken Sandwich, which now lives rent-free in my head, was perfectly seasoned and toasted to perfection. Finally the Strawberry Danish, which was just okay. The minute I walked through the door, I was greeted by both delicious treats and friendly service. The staff was efficient, attentive, and welcoming. I would highly recommend this bakery and definitely plan to visit again soon!

I ordered it and a couple of flavored macaroons. WOW....they pack it on, and so pretty. It had all of my favorite fixing inside.

Will definitely come back when I am in the area.

I didn't hear any noise or banging so it surprised me. Lol. Anyways, my coffee came out hot, with a water and a large smile on Murats face. It was delicious!
