I spend 90% of my time here. It's a great place to get work done in the afternoon, have drinks with friends in the evening, grab coffee in the morning. It quickly became my goto place in downtown TC.
jef McClimansNovember 20, 2014Midday cocktails you say!? Yes please. Good place to get some work done, have a conversation or sit and read and have a coffee or a cocktail.
Cherry BuzzJune 30, 2012Sean: Makes a mean latte, cappuccino, americano, you name it. He'll help you find the best drink for your taste, and you can watch him and the other Brew specialists make it right there at the bar.
Quality, taste and consistency are what you find at Brew. My favorite hot drink is a mocha and Brew creates an amazing drink that sits atop the razors edge between sweet and bitter, perfectly balanced
Pedro AguiarMarch 6, 2015Great espresso. So tasty and the crema is awesome. The style, and environment is perfect too. Either to escape from a boring office or to study can't beat this place!- Cherry BuzzJune 30, 2012Cobb Salad: You haven't had a Cobb until you've had it at Brew. Most salads are 80% leaf and 20% goodies. Not here. The Cobb is packed with eggs, cheese, ham, veggies, the kitchen sink! Must try.
Classic coffee shop feel, but with alcohol mixed in. Free wi-fi. Good for just chilling downtown.
Awesome MittenJanuary 31, 2012They have a unique, quirky style with an extensive menu of coffee drinks, martinis, wines, beers, sandwiches, salads, and treats. Artfully decorated, and absolutely a place to relax and hang out. Read more
Adorable little coffee shop in DT TC. I always stop when I'm in town. Great place to bring your computer and putz, they have outlets located by the tables!
Come to Brew tonight to be part of our first live radio broadcast. It all starts at 9pm and the best craft brews in town are only $3 until midnight! Listen live on 90.7fm or go to wnmc.org! Read more
- Cherry BuzzJune 30, 2012This IS NOT just a coffee shop. They have a bar with several beers on tap, also wine & liquor. Less of a bar feel: more of a cool European cafe, lending to conversation & great after work meeting spot
Jessica YorkJuly 23, 2013If you come to Brew, bring your taste buds. You're going to need them!! Also keep your head on a swivel for brew tender josh. Smoke show #getatme.- Karen DixonMarch 29, 2014Food and drink are great but the best part is the good people watching! Love the crowd there and the staff is great.
Lindsey ZarrasSeptember 27, 2014Awesome atmosphere, great coffee, and excellent local beers on tap. I loved the three cheese panini!
Derek SkaletskyJuly 29, 2013Definitely the best coffee house in TC. Great coffee, wifi, and cool, easy vibe. Bagels are pretty good too...
Nice place for a business meeting. Glad to see them booming, but can be noisy and hard to get a seat. In their defense, they did just add some more.- Jeremy SpenceAugust 11, 2014One of the best spiced chai latte I have ever had. Great service, great atmosphere.
Great place to start the day with coffee and the morning paper. A paper machine is directly in front.
Dan KautmanJune 16, 2014Just chilling out on a Sunday night listening to some good music and drinking some great coffee!
- Great atmosphere and the best coffees in this town...big difference between a restaurant that also sells coffee and a true coffee shop.
- Cherry BuzzJanuary 18, 2013Rachel: Friendly, funnnnnny, and cute. She can make whatever you want and leave you with a smile on your face.
Tyler PiercefieldOctober 11, 2014The atmosphere is great. The coffee is quality. Couldn't ask for a better coffee shop.
Sam LopezNovember 13, 2013Just need a regular coffee? Simply put a dollar in the carafe near the coffee station to the left of the register.
They serve some local brews too and some great coffee.
The food, atmosphere and service is really awesome! David N.-if you are around you should check it out!
Espresso is inconsistent, and the food is mostly overpriced, but it's a really functional setting for hanging out and working.
Cool place- coffee in the AM and later there's booze. Cashier/barista couldn't have cared less about being of help. Bad customer service.
Lisa BarrApril 21, 2013Don't go late on a Sunday morning unless you enjoy parents letting their kids run back and forth. Otherwise, everything was good.
- There's a chalkboard and a bin of chalk in the bathroom!
BrewFebruary 8, 2012Huge weekend at Brew! @Rootstand Friday 10:30p $5 cover, and Sunday is @Shady Hill for free!
Chai spice is nice! Always nice to be served with a smile,thank you Josh!
- Annie StodolaMay 22, 2012Stop in for a vanilla chai. Seriously puts Starbucks/Biggby/every other coffee shop to shame.
If you like Italian girls there is a girl named Allison Q that works there and she is hot
Amy RaleySeptember 20, 2013Excited to eat here for 1st time....sorry all 3 bartenders didn't even know how to give the 10% Facebook discount . They all just wanted to chat together behind bar. Disappointed.
