I was in the area and decided to finally go to Brew, as I rarely am in downtown Cary! I'm so glad I did. It took some time to find parking as the surrounding parking lots were full, but I found street parking around the corner. The ambiance is warm and cozy. Brew and the Cary Theater share common space, so you can enter from either entrance. The service is awesome, I was waited on right away and the barista was helpful with suggestions. I ordered a cookie butter latte and an oatmeal raisin cookie w/ walnuts. Both were absolutely delicious, a great combo. When I finished my latte, I dipped my cookie in the cup to get the last of the foam...so good. The baked goods are from Ninth Street Bakery in Durham. How amazing local supporting local. I sat at the bar area. I loved that there were hooks underneath for your belongings, you don't see that everywhere. They have the high top areas, along with a few tables and chairs. I'm so glad I was able to finally experience Brew, looking forward to going back. read more

BREW was such a great spot to get work done. They have an upstairs space and of course downstairs. A good number of options and the service was really good. I'll definitely be back. read more

Came for a Sunday stop with a friend. Just a note because it's in the downtown area it's extremely hard to find parking and most of it is street parking (with some construction nearby). Overall, the little coffee shop is cute and has a little bit of outdoor seating which I liked but is expensive for being so mid in my opinion. I ended up paying almost $7 for a blueberry latte. Overall, my latte tasted like a regular latte, even though it did have a seasonal blueberry syrup added to it. I know that blueberry is very light in flavor compared to coffee so I asked for more than the allotted amount of syrup and their response was that they had a certain amount added to of syrups added. So I said ok thinking they would take that into consideration but when I got my coffee, guess the amount they added didn't matter because it tasted the same as a latte regular. Unfortunately, at the end of my coffee (like the last 20%) had what I assume to be bits of berry in it? The texture made me toss the remaining amount. With the high prices and the location right on a busy street / no parking I probably wouldn't be back but I did enjoy being about to sit outside under an umbrella and the service was nice / fast. All the stars would go to the servers and overall cleanliness honestly. read more

Walked in for a quick cup of coffee before hitting the road. No one else in the cafe. We ordered two coffees and it legitimately took 20 minutes to get a cup of coffee with 3 people working. All of the baristas were messing around, eating behind the counter, and doing pretty much everything except make our coffee. It was actually painful. 10/10 do not recommend. read more

Loved this cafe! In a great spot by the new Cary Downtown Park and in a walkable area. Parking is not the best, but when we went it looked as though a parking deck is in the works. The vanilla latte was delicious and their sandwiches are good too! Hubby and I got the chicken salad sandwich to share, and it was a great pick me up for our day. There is two floors for seating, but not many seats. I recommend ordering for take out! read more

Stopped in for a quick chai latte on a weekday afternoon around lunchtime while in downtown Cary. Bottom line: this is a great place for coffee and conversation, but not necessarily an ideal place to study or work if deep focus is required, especially if constant chatter bothers you. My chai latte was fine -- the spice was just right, but it probably could've used a bit more oatmilk. A regular was close to nearly $7 (but I added oat milk which was an extra $0.90). There is limited seating and the tables downstairs closest to the barista were near each other. There is outdoor seating and limited second floor setoo. When I visited, patrons were, for the most part (maybe due to the lunch hour), conversing with friends over coffee. I sat the counter along the wall and was able to work a little on my laptop, using the shop's free WiFi. I wouldn't have been able to deeply focus there, but the environment was fine for the routine tasks I needed to complete (e.g., email/calendar management). My favorite part about the whole place is the cool winding staircase. There are a few places to sit upstairs near the Cary Theater's office space. Perhaps it is quieter working up there but no seats were available there for my visit. Parking could potentially be challenging due to the limited number of spots reserved for other nearby businesses, but I was in luck that day and found the last empty spot in the back lot. Street parking is available in the area. I would stop by again if in the area. read more

Pleasant cafe with a calm, welcoming atmosphere. A good spot for light conversation and studying. Since it's located in downtown Cary, parking is available in nearby lots or along the street. They serve coffee, tea, and some food (toast, bagel, sandwiches, muffins, etc). I enjoyed the tea, the flavor and how they serve it. So many places serve tea in disposable containers even if you are dining in. Here you receive the mug, teapot, and a platter designed to hold them. Elegant and ideal for enjoying loose leaf teas. Plus information is provided on how long to let the leaves steep. Overall, we enjoyed our visit here and recommend this cafe to others! read more

BREW - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Cary, North Carolina

We stopped by BREW Coffee Bar for a quick pick-me-up while walking around downtown Cary. I tried an iced latte ($4.50) with seasonal rose syrup ($1.00) and oat milk ($0.70). After tax and tip, the drink worked out to $7.95 total. Regular size. It was OK. BREW is unique in that it's located inside The Cary Theater. The cafe opened in March 2016, adjacent to the theater's lobby. There are various indoor and outdoor spaces and seating to choose from, including some quieter upper-level areas next to some of the theater's offices/private rooms and balcony. The wide spiral staircase is a cool feature. Overall, the place has somewhat of a neat, hip feel to it. Outside on the patio, you can sit next to the theater's art deco storefront. Along with coffee, BREW serves a small variety of interesting loose-leaf teas, seasonal drinks, kombucha, and food -- sandwiches, toast, bagels, English muffins, yogurt and granola, and more. Service was fine. The cashier was a bit dismissive, not very warm/friendly. Very limited parking is available for BREW and The Cary Theater behind the building. You're better off parking for free on a nearby street like E Cedar St, one block to the north. read more

we go here when we are in a pinch. the coffee is pretty good but the service is slow most of the time and i've had them forget about my order or parts of my order at least two times which is unfortunate! they also don't offer half and half which is interesting! so not my go to but not bad! read more

Not a ton of seating but a great vibe when you can sit or for a takeaway coffee to go walk around Downtown Cary Park. Friendly staff, masterfully made coffee, and locally sourced food, in the middle of one of the best spots in the Triangle, downtown Cary. read more

Enjoyed a beautifully made vanilla latte, but waited 10+ minutes for it to be made. I was shocked at how long it took to make. It wasn't that busy. I walked up, immediately ordered, then waited and waited. The latte could have been a tiny bit warmer, but overall it was enjoyable. read more

I came in for a quick break and ended up staying longer than expected. The barista was so kind and explained their seasonal drinks in detail. The entire café was tidy and smelled amazing no sticky floors or dirty counters. I tried the honey cinnamon latte and a croissant, both fresh and flavorful. The presentation was beautiful and made the whole experience feel premium. Highly recommend this spot! read more

First time coming here. The place was very open and friendly. Small families, enjoying coffee and snacks. Students studying. It was a great environment. They have huge cookies that we got for our kids, they were delicious! I ordered the Matcha latte and the barista, let my kids sit at the bar and watch every step to make the latte. It was an awesome experience for our family! This was a middle of the day stop for us, so it is always time for coffee or tea! Definitely check this place out. read more

Atmosphere: Brew Coffee Bar has large windows that let in plenty of natural light during the day. There is seating both on the first floor and in an upstairs space, though it may be hard to find a spot when the cafe is busy. Their wifi wasn't working at all when we visited, so we wouldn't recommend coming here for a study or working session. Service: Our barista was friendly, and our drinks came out quickly. Food: We ordered their drip coffee and an iced vanilla latte. We weren't expecting much for their drip coffee, but it still disappointed us as it was way too acidic and lukewarm. The iced vanilla latte unfortunately wasn't very flavorful, mostly tasting like milk. Overall: Brew Coffee Bar has a lot of potential, but between their weak wifi and lackluster drinks, we likely would not come back. read more

I like this place, but they don't understand how to serve nitro cold brew. It's the only place I've been to that puts ice in it. Ice ruins the texture, and defeats the purpose of using nitrogen. It also dilutes the flavor. It's already cold -- and the carbonation actually helps it maintain its coldness for longer. read more

I came to BREW after wandering around downtown Cary. This is a small coffee shop that's attached to the local theater. It's a cute little shop, and it also has free wifi for anyone looking to get some work done. The menu has standard coffee shop options. I ordered an earl grey latte, and I thought it was pretty tasty. Prices were pretty typical for a small coffee shop. The downsides are that the service is a little bit slow, and there are limited seating options inside. read more

Overall it was a good experience, they have some different items like we ordered today two pour over coffees with Uganda coffee that was rich and dark with hints of berries in it. The people working there were okay, not overly friendly though so I think for the $12 spent on two cups of coffee we could have found a place with more friendlier service. read more

I stopped in for a cup of coffee and no one greeted or acknowledged me which was already a "red flag". I waited their for 5-minutes. The tablet display was flipped over so I thought it was a self-service order type of deal. The moment I tried to, one of the person behind the counter snaps at me and said I couldn't do that -- then at least a knowledge me. I've been standing there waiting for someone to take my order. I took my money elsewhere. No thanks! read more

What a cozy place! This was next to the Cary theater, and so so cute. There are a few tables, and we found one tucked in the back. We both ordered a latte, and it had gorgeous latte art, and our barista was very friendly and helpful! I really like it here and am excited to come back and try more on the menu. My friend got a chocolate chip cookie, I didn't try it, but she said it was pretty good! I really like the area as well. A perfect place for a nice walk and you can stop in and grab some good coffee. read more

BREW is just okay. The inside is really nice and seems like a great place to work from home. The barista was very nice and helpful. I got an iced matcha latte, but it wasn't whisked properly, leaving powder chunks in every sip, and it was a bit watered down. My partner got the black and coke, which was surprisingly good--it's espresso and coke. I probably wouldn't go back unless it's the only place available in the area. They have beer on tap, which is neat, but overall, it was a mediocre experience. read more

Drinks were great but the service wasn't the best. We got a vanilla iced matcha and a rose water tonic! So yummy and the man who gave us our drinks was friendly. The woman taking our order seemed like she didn't want to be there and honestly I would say she was rude. This was our first time at this coffee shop but the barista made the interaction awkward because she was in a (what seemed to be) bad mood. I understand people have bad days but this is the service industry. read more

My review of BREW is very neutral. I would not tell someone to avoid this business. I just personally was not wowed. I feel like there are similar businesses near this one that are better. My wife's tea was very bland, and my matcha was just okay. The location is convenient and cool, when you are in downtown Cary. read more

Great little coffee shop attached to the theater with a cool environment hood for small groups or even getting some work done. They have some outdoor seating, and the staff was very friendly and prompt. The drink options were plentiful and tasted pretty good with fairly typical pricing. Would definitely recommend! read more

They have oat milk, strong wifi, outlets and parking in the back!! I believe there are a few BREW locations throughout Raleigh and this is not the main one, however it's cute and on a quaint little street with much parking and conveniently close to the airport. I stopped by to caffeinated and get some work done before picking up friends at RDU and found it the perfect little spot to plug in and be productive. Downstairs there's individual and group seating inside and out, and upstairs there's a group meeting room plus classroom style desk seating for the quieter, individual studiers. They have a small selection of fresh pastries and oatmeal varieties to accompany your coffee. They have espresso and black coffee options with many milk substitutes to choose from. I did not see any gluten free pastries, though I did arrive mid afternoon so they have sold out - call before or check their social media pages to see their options. Overall, staff were great, espresso was good, options weren't limited, wifi was strong, parking was easy, and environment was pleasant. I would visit again! read more

The coffee was better than most shops. The reason I cannot give a five star review is due to the customer service (not very friendly or informative) and they do t have half and half. They have all dairy and non-dairy options of a traditional coffee house, but no cream?! Are you kidding me? Otherwise, not a bad spot if you don't mind not having cream in your coffee. read more

This place has certainly changed since my first visit. It still has too few places to sit if you are more than a group of one. The staff looked like they would rather be having teeth extracted than working there: on their phones, doing crosswords, sitting down behind the counter taking selfies...2/3 of the staff were totally unfriendly, didn't smile, say thank you or anything. The woman with the black curly hair was the friendliest. Raisins in the granola were hard as a rock. Wont be going there again read more
