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.

Midday 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 .

Scott Hills

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

Sean: 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 .

Pedro Aguiar

Great 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!

Sean Jordan-Case

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

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!

Cherry Buzz

This 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

Awesome Mitten

They 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

Alex Seder

Classic coffee shop feel, but with alcohol mixed in. Free wi-fi. Good for just chilling downtown.

Cherry Buzz

Cobb 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.

Karen Dixon

Food and drink are great but the best part is the good people watching ! Love the crowd there and the staff is great.

Derek Skaletsky

Definitely the best coffee house in TC. Great coffee , wifi , and cool, easy vibe. Bagels are pretty good too...

Jessica York

If 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.

Awesome atmosphere, great coffee , and excellent local beers on tap . I loved the three cheese panini !

Great place to start the day with coffee and the morning paper. A paper machine is directly in front.

Jeremy Spence

One of the best spiced chai latte I have ever had. Great service, great atmosphere.

Michael Kent

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.

Scott Hills

Great atmosphere and the best coffees in this town ...big difference between a restaurant that also sells coffee and a true coffee shop .

Dan Kautman

Just chilling out on a Sunday night listening to some good music and drinking some great coffee !

Delicious pumpkin apple soup .

Kelli Ruthkowski

Chai latte is absolutely amazing????

Matthew Bouwense

Espresso is inconsistent, and the food is mostly overpriced, but it's a really functional setting for hanging out and working.

Sam Lopez

Just need a regular coffee ? Simply put a dollar in the carafe near the coffee station to the left of the register.

Mark Klopfenstein

Anything with espresso is great here!

Abby Wessels

There's a chalkboard and a bin of chalk in the bathroom !

Don't go late on a Sunday morning unless you enjoy parents letting their kids run back and forth. Otherwise, everything was good.

Haley Anne

Very vegan soup is absolutely delicious...! ????

Jeff M

The Spicy Cajun is the best Bloody Mary on Earth

$1 coffees ! The atmosphere is perfect!

Benjamin M

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.

Greg Arntz

If you like Italian girls there is a girl named Allison Q that works there and she is hot

The twitchy Russian is like grown up chocolate milk - with a kick!

Stop in for a vanilla chai . Seriously puts Starbucks/Biggby/every other coffee shop to shame.
