We stopped by this location to meet a friend. Great small group meeting location. Had a nice cup of coffee. They even offered herbal teas if you couldnt have caffeine. I had a chocolate chuck type cookie that would have been better if it was warmed up (not sure thats an option though), but it was OK. I look forward to returning to try the other amazing looking pastries. Side note... the theater shares an adjoining wall with the cafe and sometimes the walls shake and you can hear the audio.
This coffee is just great. Nice folks serving good coffee. Everyone in my party enjoyed their beverages. I had to get two on my first visit! We tried many coffee shops in the area and this is the only one I can give an honest good review for.
Coffee is not to my taste, but its real coffee! Breakfast tacos were good, decent price. Coffee is not sweet enough, but I assume its traditional and just not what Im used to. Strong blends, and Im sure they would accommodate my different taste. I tried the cappuccino and macchiato. Smaller than what I wanted too.
I stopped by here before heading to the airport. I loved the oat milk latte with caramel, so delicious. The quality of the coffee is amazing. The staff was nice and welcoming and the environment was great as well.
My iced vanilla latte was such a delicious blend. The coffee wasn’t bitter whatsoever and had a subtle hint of honey? It was fantastic.
Top notch cappo. Pleasant staff always.
The coffee is ok but not great. The breakfast tacos are pretty good though but not the best. Friendly staff.
Came early morning on Saturday, got the seasonal double mint mocha and the lavender latte. The double mint mocha was very light on the mint, if you like it minty maybe ask for more mint. The lavender latte was good. Also got their tahini banana bread, not as sweet as normal banana bread but still delicious.
Very rude. Unprofessional. they make you feel like trash. Overpriced. Disgusting attitudes.
Breakfast tacos were great. Vegan and GF options too. Delicious cold brew🥲
Always fantastic. Very kind and helpful staff. Stellar place
Caramel Macchiato was excellent. Ordered breakfast tacos: OG, Corn, and Migas. Got the OG, Chorizo & Potato, and Migas. SMH. Oh well, the OG was amazing! I would definitely get that one again. The Migas, I prefer the corn tortillas crispy so not my fave. The Chorizo Potato was actually VERY good.
This coffee shop is unlike any other not only does it have great coffee and pastries but their menu items are fantastic. The atmosphere is so comfortable.
Best iced caramel latté in town. I can go into specifics, I dont mean to sound like Im exaggerating. 1) Espresso is delicious from fresh beans, very aromatic (no burnt tasting coffee here) 2) Milk used is from a local Florida dairy farm and is so so creamy 3) Caramel sauce is house made = all this makes for layers of deep flavor each sip you make!!
Great coffee and food. Quaint little spot at five points and friendly staff. They did great with safety precautions the past 6 months and continue to encourage masks while not seated now, despite space being challenging to manage. I truly appreciate the effort!!
Great coffee and tea. The breakfast is great, I normally get one of their bowls. My husband loves the tacos.
The atmosphere is great and great people. The owner is super friendly and their drinks are Delicious
Nice relaxing atmosphere for a daytime coffee and snack. While its nice they bring coffee to the table ... I then had to walk my coffee back up past the counter to get cream.Everything kolache filled with cream cheese good, may have been better if it was not microwaved as long. Overall delicious house made baked goods and pastry. Interesting menu items well prepared.Breakfast tacos really hit the spot.
When I received my food it was cold, plain, and had i was excited to try my food because the food looks really delicious. I was extremely disappointed when I received my food. Maybe I’ll give you guys another try in the future
This was my second visit and have had a yummy experience both times. Tried their baked goods this time-- delicious!
Brew is my favorite local coffee shop. Their roasts are delicious and their tacos are absolutely amazing (try the corn one). I just love the vibe and cannot wait for things to settle down and I can dine-in again. Their coffee is perfect without any weird bitter aftertaste.
Service was awkward (didnt get greeted. Customers were just standing there confused)Coffee was ok.Muffin was the worst muffin Ive ever had.
If I were to frequent coffee bars this would be my go-to place. Two blocks from me its an inviting walk on a spring day. The staff is top-notch friendly, my friends tell me if you go there enough they really get to know you and what you enjoy. Some unusual food options on a slice of crusty airy toast with a variety of toppings and I dont mean butter and jelly I mean avocados hummus baby kale just great unusual options. Coffee fresh brewed tasty and if youre a coffee lover this is one of the better options and not a chain which is a big plus for me. If you living in the Riverside Five Points area of Jacksonville its a must visit
Breakfast tacos were delicious.
The people there are so friendly. I was helped as soon as i walked through the door and greeted with a smile. The server also educated me on some drinks and helped me pick the rite drink for me....... I think Ive found my new coffee house.
Hello. I came into the store on 3/6 around 5 P.M. to purchase a small coffee for a homeless man. The coffee is 3.38. I used my credit card that got declined and i told the cashier my debit card is next door at Root down, i can pay for it. but the barista said “its ok, dont worry about it”at 12:10 A.M. on 3/7 Brewz in 5 points charged me $6.38.APPEARS TO ME THE MANAGER decided to reattempt the card and give themselves an almost 100% tip at my expense, and this is 100% illegalyou dont wanna go here, they muzzle their customers, coffee is marked up at an outrageous price, limited seating space, baristas look like theyre going to a funeral
Hey, it’s great coffee. Need I say more ?
I eat breakfast at this place three or four times a week. Their coffee, especially the cappuccinos are amazing. Their menu is solid. I get the OG’s in a bowl because I don’t eat bread. And their bakery items, scones and muffins etc.., are off the chain. If you go here you will not regret it - it’s so good all day!
Loved the vibe and the cold brew was fantastic
Best kolaches around!!
Great little coffee shop with excellent service and food. The cold brew is perfect every time. Plenty of vegetarian options here for those so inclined. The kolaches are excellent and can be ordered as a breakfast sandwich with egg as well. My personal favorite is the Texas Toast Breakfast Sammy, which I highly recommend.
My first time coming here, and I love the granola yogurt so delicious and the coffee was on point! Not much of a coffee drinker but we own a store down the road so tried something different for a change and it was top notch! If you ever need a cell phone, computer, device, iPad or tablet fixed come on bye Rekonekt Riverside!
Excellent espresso, delicious food and kind staff! More please!
Costados to die for. Seriously! A very distinctive bean.
Regulars at this spot for the great breakfast food options but disappointed about how the distancing precautions have gone downhill. The table closest to the people waiting in line had about 6 people sitting around it (some standing since there wasn’t enough seating) and none were wearing masks. The staff clearly saw this and did not tell the group to disperse or to put on their masks. The remodel of the space (we were hopeful a new set up would consider our new normal) didn’t really offer any extra protection for customers while there are partitions protecting the staff. We only ever do take out because of this but even that seems to be questionable now. It’s our favorite spot in the neighborhood and it’s a shame that other coffee shops in the area seem to have this much better under control... wish we could see the same at Brew!
This place is the best espresso in town
Always the best regular. Delicious food and some of the best coffee in JAX. Im biased. But its great.
The reviews werent kidding about the breakfast tacos... do yourself a favor and go!
Got two cinnamon rolls and an everything kolache. Both really lacked in flavor, but they were warm which I appreciated. Iced caramel latte was missing flavor and wasn’t nearly as strong as I hoped. Also, when I told the girl I had placed an online order (my first time being there) she pointed at the wall and looked at me like I was stupid.
Pretty nice spot. Limited seating and no decaf espresso here, but those things aside the decaf coffee with salty caramel is delicious. I was able to get it iced as well. Their cinnamon bun was very good, and the icing was just right and buttery - not exceedingly sweet. My husband enjoyed his cold brew coffee. It seems more conducive to grab and go style rather than sit here and work awhile. There were a few people with laptops and headphones though, so it’s possible to enjoy some good coffee, tasty treats, and get some work done too!
Best lavender lattes, cdb water and breakfast corn tacos❤
Some of the kindest staff and the best espresso based drinks I’ve had in a super long time !
It is absolutely beyond me how the heck this coffee shop has the best tacos ive ever had???? It makes no sense. So flavorful! Something a lot of taco maker are lacking. You guys need to open a taco spot!
The interior is super cool, definitely eye catching and a calming place to sit. I’ve gotten a latte and it was fantastic! Definitely great coffee. We ordered a salted chocolate chunk cookie and it was not very sweet at all, and maybe that’s how it was meant to be, but to me instead of the salt on top enhancing the cookie it made it too salty. We also got a cinnamon roll and it was warm and gooey and tasted homemade and was fantastic.
Happened upon this great coffee place looking for some lunch in Jacksonville. The Cold Brew was *nice* and the Salty Caramel Iced Latte was also fire.
Love there poppy seed muffin...
Delicious food. Fun and friendly atmosphere.
I am really proud of this stop. The service used to be so bad that I stopped coming. I decided to try again because they food is of quality. To my surprise the staff was incredibly friendly, tentative and engaging. To whomever made the new hires. Good job!
Its a place that as soon as you walk in you are greeted with a smile. They always seem to find a moment just to chat with you. Makes it feel even more personal. I think Ill have to make it one of my regular stops.
Not sure how this place has good reviews. Came in for coffee and pastries. I have never been there and placed my order online. I would think the employees would be a little more helpful considering I wasn’t aware to pick up from the shelf. Horrible customer service and won’t be returning or recommending to anyone. Vagabond is the way to go.
Always a favorite. Such a treat to enjoy the dining room again.
All I normally get from here is iced coffee but it’s always delicious, as are their baked goods! They have a ton of flavored syrups for your drink, including some you probably won’t find anywhere else (lavender, mint chocolate, strawberry, etc.) that I love to get in my iced lattes. My favorite at the moment is the salted caramel but I love the mint chocolate syrup too. You can’t go wrong with any of their baked stuff either but my personal fav is the jumbo cookie with sea salt. It’s been a long time since I got breakfast there but from what I remember their breakfast sandwiches are awesome; I can’t remember the name of the one I got a while back but it was made on texas toast and it was probably the best breakfast sandwich I’ve ever had from any restaurant. They also have a loyalty program that you can sign up for via phone number, though I don’t frequent them enough to know what the benefits of it are.
Better than not bad! Our favorite Saturday breakfast spot! Coffee is incredible and the breakfast tacos are delicious! Dont get me started on Callis treats, you cant go wrong!!!
Friendly staff, lots of food and drink options.HIGHLY recommend the matcha pound cake and chocolate chip cookies. Also cannot go wrong with a latte.
Love this place. Theyve switched their coffee in the last year or so and it is SO GOOD NOW. Excellent selection of pour overs and always a reliable espresso. Also, the toast is my fav breakfast ever.
My favorite coffee shop, everything is perfect. Their cold brew and breakfast tacos are sublime.
Amazing kolachies and coffee.
I love this place, great food & service.
Delicious breakfast Sandwiches, chai and coffee! Definitely try the Kolache sammy! Super easy online order and contactless pick up!
In town for a week, service and food kept my attention every morning. Breakfast tacos were rock solid and well sized for the price. BREW was the most enjoyable part of Jacksonville in my book, y’all rock!
Great coffee. Decent beer. Theyll even mix em for you. Also hipsters getting work done...
Enjoyable atmosphere and staff. Several decaf options available as well which I appreciate since Im pregnant. Love coming here for just a quick visit or working a bit. Never feel rushed regardless of how busy they can get.
Great breakfast stop... Fast and friendly service - good food and excellent coffee.
Fantastic staff & great tasting coffee!

Great coffee!!
Brew is cool because you can go from morning to night there. Start with coffee and a pastry or toast and finish the day with a craft beer.
Amazing service great people. Marc is amazing friendly great place great coffee
Best coffee. Great beer selection. The staff is super friendly and perfect location. Whether you need a quick place to study, want to grab a coffee and read, meet with a few clients like I do, or grab a glad of beer with friends, this place is everything
I cant say enough good things about Brew. They capture the cool, electic vibes of Riverside and serve up some of the best coffee and sweet treats Ive had anywhere. Their kolaches (the everything in particular) are insane. A soft house made yeast roll stuffed with cream cheese and rolled in your favorite everything seasonings. Bump bagels, this is for you! I have now decided to form a support group to all those seeking help, its called BA (no not badass although brew really is). It is Brew Anonymous, because these folks know how to get you hooked.
Yummy pastries, fresh vegies and salads...even delicious oatmeal. And...WOW coffee. Great neighborhood hangout or take to go.
Nice, relaxing vibes. The greens salad is very good and flavorful as well as the corn tacos. The sweet potato with cream cheese muffin is excellent. Oh yeah, cant forget the Lavender Mimosas, excellent! I could hv passed on the Chai Latte though, it was just ok. I will definitely be back
Toast! Get the toast. Add an egg on top. All (at least ones Ive tried) have been outstanding. Toasts may change as the menu is updated, but wow! Oh, and lavender latte is tasty, too.
Consistently good coffee here, I am particularly a fan of a honey lavender latte! They have food, beer and desserts as well. The art is sometimes weird, but other than that it is an enjoyable place to grab a coffee!
The guy yelled at me and friends for snapping some pics of each other by the greenery near the back entrance. He told us we needed to get out of here and said he was the manager...not really sure what we did to deserve it or if it was really necessary but thought I’d share
Really good coffee ☕ a little pricey though. Also, the atmosphere is similar to a smoothie shop.
