Perched in the center of a busy street, The Brews has a unique first impression compared to other cafes and restaurants nearby. With its cozy and sincere atmosphere, it truly captures its customers and seems to be their go-to location to wind down, especially during winter. From the moment you step in, genial employees greet you and you immediately feel the vibrant energy with joyful conversations of people, seems like the cafe has already formed its fan base.
The decoration inside is delicately done with a slight rustic touch, a cozy, not-so-luminous semblance. It is obvious that the ambiance is deliberately set as home-like to attract customers who are looking for a place to feel welcome -they have hit the jackpot. The cafe is quite large with plenty of seating, especially for those planning to enjoy their time here in large groups. This does not mean that The Brews is not the very place for those looking for a serene location to study or read. On its second floor, it offers quite the environment for bookworms and anyone looking forward to studying or working, with its wall full of books and plugs on each table. I must add, that they have nailed it with the choice of music, just right to make you stay focused. It speaks to you even if you are looking for pleasant chats with your friends or study sessions full of focus.
Even though the ambiance is spectacular, it cannot beat the coffee. The latte is the most popular with its smooth consistency and many different kinds of milk are offered, for vegans or the picky ones. Their famous cold brew is the best option for those into strong and intense coffee. Their seasonal options excite me – I cannot stop thinking about their maple syrup latte, a Halloween special and I am eager to taste their hot chocolate coffee which will be offered during the Christmas season. Even though their deal is coffee, the cafe still offers various options of refresher and tea for people who do not prefer it or the ones looking forward to spicing up their pallets. However, I do not find the refreshers worth a try except the blueberry and lemon ones.
The Brews also offers different options of food for reasonable prices. Breakfast options are mostly light, like bagels and avocado toast, which are perfect options for grab-and-go on busy days. Pastries and desserts are the perfect accompanist for your coffee. Their tiramisu, croissante, and lemon cake were my favorites, and although their pecan pie and salted caramel cheesecake were flavourful, I did not find them fresh enough. For the chocolate fans, they offer fresh brownies loaded with milk chocolate. Their Halloween special cupcakes were decorated intricately and one of the best desserts I have eaten: the pumpkin cheesecake. I heard that they will be coming up with new delicious ideas and widening their scope of pastries.
It is a self-service cafe but the care of the staff is felt starting from their warm welcomes. The baristas are well-trained, knowledgable, and always ready to give you advice on your choices according to what you may like. Each and every order is prepared delicately and despite the busy nature of the cafe, orders are prepared quickly. Tables are cleaned right after each customer so you never have to wait after someone.
You may be searching for the perfect spot to get some work done or have memorable meet-ups with your friends. Either way, The Brews satisfies all your desires. With its diverse options of drinks, tasty breakfast, and dessert options it is definitely worth your time and money. I enjoyed my time here thoroughly with very subtle dissatisfactions regarding some drinks and the freshness of particular desserts. Nevertheless, with the lack of experience this cafe has, it is more than surprising how much of a huge milestone they have accomplished already. With its ideal ambiance, the cafe is not a feast only for your taste buds but also for your eyes. Considering all of these aspects there is no wonder how the cafe won the hearts of many people and quickly became a prevailing spot for them.
