This is a cool local spot for coffee just off the 101 freeway. The second room has a place to sit and art from local artists. They seem to have a small board room that you could use for a meeting. They also have a small outdoor patio. Coffee was good and a fair price and plenty of parking out on the street out front

This is the best breakfast place to go, the sandwitches variety and taste are superb, the coffee is great. We loved the warm service. Its a must go if you are in town.

Homey, clean, and Cozy. Good drinks, and hip enough to sell merch. The cashier girl, Brook, is top notch and super friendly!

Bru offers standard local coffee and breakfast offerings and had great service. Nothing about either the latte or sandwich was particularly noteworthy, however, the prices were fair. Easy quick stop if you need coffee and a bite.

Asked for a pour-over straight black coffee. Too strong by a factor of 3. Help somewhat less than amiable. No other customers in store but it still took nearly 15 minutes to get it. I didnt complain or show any dissatisfaction.

Had a Dirty Chai that was so yummy and a cinnamon roll with delicious cream cheese frosting (not overly sweet). Standard coffee house vibe and pricing, but a nice local spot to meet with friends.

My boyfriend and I went here one afternoon for a little snack. I asked the Barista what she recommended, and ended up getting a dirty chai. It was so delicious, one of the best drinks I have had in a while. I also got the cinnamon pull apart—seriously amazing. The chocolate chip scone was delicious as well. Nothing but praise. The barista was personable and quick. This place rocks

#RAWFotografia #LocalGuide We got a couple hot teas, I wish i could remember which teas we got, but they were good, we also got a plain coffee and it was pretty dang good. They serve tea for there in little tea pots which I loved because my tea did not get cold while we visited! I do wish they offered honey as a sweetener alternative to sugar and sugar substitutes, but perhaps all one has to do is ask...The artwork they have hanging up currently is pretty amazing, they are pictures made by Andrew (?) Wilkie using the coffee grounds from the shop and they are worth stopping in to take a look at.

Great little coffee house. I had oatmeal which was instant but they loaded it with what ever I wanted. Be sure to ask for stuff in the oats. There is also instant at the counter in various flavors that is served as is. So go for the plain with fresh add ins! Stumptown coffee and loose leaf tea. If you are a hot tea drinker try the white cocunut Creme !! My companions had a breakfast wrap which looked delicious and a crescent sandwich which also looked yummy! The best part about this cafe was the ambience.

Very friendly staff. The service was slow and the order did not come as requested (it was a special order). The food tasted very good and fresh. Would give them another opportunity when in town. They provided good measures for health practices.

I asked if I could order at the counter and was told I had to sit. Then I waited for like 10-15 mins while employees walked by me and never even asked if I wanted to order. Basically invisible. Weird

Review №32

The local version of Starbucks, with funkier atmosphere. All the locals go here. Has baked goods, wraps, great coffee and tea. Food is fresh and healthy. Opens early, closes at 5 pm, so breakfast and lunch only. Has a small room you can reserve for meetings, and a hidden back patio. Friendly staff who remember you after a few trips. On the main drag of the town, El Camino Real. Street parking, but street parking is free here. My go to place for meeting friends or working quietly on my own.

Fantastic as ever! My wife and I have been here three times now in our visits to this beautiful little city. The food is always made with care, and taste delicious. The employees are great to have a conversation and the most important part... the coffee. So many great choices and each made with the same care as thier food. I highly recommend this as a most go to coffee shop.

Employees are kind, neighborly people. Food and drinks are good. Decor is really cute, clever use of space as well. The only thing I dropped a star for is the lack of dairy, egg, & meat free options. I have food allergies and cant eat anything on the menu, save for their smoothies. The smoothies, however, are super super tasty! Please try to offer something allergy friendly, Id love that

A large nitro cold brew is $9.50! And a large cold brew is $7. Good, but not really any better than most other places nearby for less.

Review №43

This is an amazing coffee shop. They have many different coffee drinks to choose from. Bru also has smoothies, chai, teas, food, etc., And an amazingly beautiful patio out back. I wish more people would try smaller coffee shops instead of relying on big corporate ones all the time. I hope some of you out there will give this place, and other small coffee shops a chance to impress you, before you rely only on your big corporate coffee shops.

This place is amazing! Great quiet spot perfect to grab coffee/tea and something to eat! Coffee is fantastic, garden of eden ice tea is the best tropical black tea Ive had (its not sweet). The breakfast wrap is uniquely done with hash browns wrapping around like the tortilla. Elliot is super nice and funny, he is the business owner you should support!

Review №54

Not too sure how I feel about brew coffee shop Ive been there only a handful of times and although I do enjoy the coffee and they give you a $0. 25 discount if you bring in your own cup ( big whoop ) my only complaint is that their customer service is inconsistent and they could really use some customer service training. (Snobs)

Bru is my favorite place for breakfast when I am in town. Im from Milwaukee and visit family who live here. I visit them 3 to 4 times a year and Bru is on my never miss list. Every morning I have my favorite omelette with coffee. Bru is a great place to start my day.

Delicious local coffee house serving tasty scones, muffins, and pastries along with great coffee, espresso, cappuccino, and lattes. They have delicious breakfast croissants with eggs cheeses and ham or chorizo burritos with housemade salsa. Everything is yummy and the service is friendly. They have a nice seating area that is comfy and relaxed. Have your coffee and scone to eat in and sit back and enjoy the morning.

Review №59

Everyone else will write about the coffee, and the music in the evening, for me this is another stop on the breakfast burrito trail. The burritos is a Sylvesters and it came out nice. Warmed all the way through, with everything melting together, and the salsa kicked the spice up a bit. I liked it and it is a nice addition to my burrito stop list. Enjoy!

Review №75

The foam on my latte was 5 stars! Only rated 4 because the coffee was on the light side. Probably should have ordered an extra shot since I am used to Peets strength. Smoothy was excellent. Kids picked peachy, which had peach, ginger, orange, cinnamon, and yogurt. Nice seating area. We skipped the baked goods because we wanted to return to the Hush Harbor bakery across the street.
