Whether I'm in the mood for a good cup of coffee or a cold beer, Brew is my favorite spot to hang out in downtown Santa Rosa. First of all, Brew is such a unique space. The interior is super colorful and there is always local art on the walls. The vibe is very accepting and laid-back and they even have a small selection of games. They serve Ritual coffee, which is top-notch. Now I don't have to drive all the way to SF for Ritual! Brew is my favorite place in Santa Rosa to grab a quality latte. Their espresso is smooth and the ginger cardamom latte is a delightful sweet option (flavorful, but not hyper-sweet like Starbucks). The only bummer is the high cost to upgrade to non-dairy milk (like every other coffee shop on the planet, unfortunately!!). If you're more in the mood for beer, they always have a nice beer selection. I've even had Pliney the Younger here (wait time: zero minutes!!). The food here is great as well. They have a great selection of toasts and the breakfast sandwich is scrumptious. And all of the staff are super friendly and always willing to help. Ultimately, Brew is a quirky gem in downtown Santa Rosa! read more

Not only are the owners amazing, the food and atmosphere are, too. I've developed a terrible addiction to their waffle with spicy chicken tenders. I'm not sure what's in the waffles, but it's almost like there's bits of caramelized candy in every bite. Their mimosas are also HUGE. I love this place. Highly recommend. read more

Great coffee and food, great ambiance, great service. I don't think I really need to say more. I really enjoy going here and talking with other people while sitting on the patio. Everyone is so nice and welcoming. You can sit in silence and enjoy your coffee or strike up a conversation with a stranger and and both feel comfortable. Stop by and try a latte and enjoy the atmosphere. read more

Great inclusive vibe, love the concept of coffee in the AM and beer in the PM, lovely draft list!

I LOVED this spot! I always aspired to have a kitsch little craft coffee and brewery spot! I love that inclusion and LGBTQIA support is displayed all over with artwork and banners. They serve Ritual Coffee from San Francisco, which is STRONG and high quality. The Rainbow avocado toast was delightful - I couldn't decide between Rainbow or Sunshine avocado toast, so I will have to come back to check it out ASAP. The pumpkin latte was bomb and I wish there was another location in San Diego, where I currently live. read more

I had been here once before quarantine, and stopped again for coffee and a bit of lunch today at the end of a bike ride. Very impressed with their process/set-up for COVID. Clear instructions posted on when/where to wear a mask (all times except when eating at your table). They place all food at a pick up window and you can take it and go to your outdoor table. Then they have a sign to put on your table after you're done to warn anyone from sitting there until they come by to clean it. On the food side- great iced almond milk latte, and I got gluten free avocado toast that they happily put smoked salmon on for me per my request. Nice friendly service too! read more

The new rainbow flag outdoor patio is so great! Spacious, Covid Safe, and there are big umbrellas for shade. The music is great and the Agua de Jamaica is so nice! Today I'm having it unsweetened. It tastes sour and cinnamony. With sugar it tastes nicely balanced. There is a really good double IPA from Henhouse on tap and the tater tots and avocado toasts are always perfect. I recommend this place for a full brunch, a small snack, or just drinks. You can stop in any time and find something craveable. Excellent beer, coffee, tea, cider, wine, mimosas, food, and my favorite the Cafe Tonic which is an espresso shot floated on lightly sweet Tonic water. Thanks for another great visit Brew. read more

Really loved visiting this spot on a Sunday morning!! There's ample indoor and outdoor seating. Staff is very friendly. I tried the iced latte with ginger cardamom syrup, and I really liked it! Reminded me of a dirty chai with less spice. Not too sweet. Our group also got the hot chocolate (which was super rich and lovely), the London fog (perfect for Earl Grey and lavender lovers), and a black coffee. For brunch we ordered the Sunshine Toast (option of putting it on a bagel or a toast), which has a flavorful avocado spread, micro greens, ricotta cheese, a hard boiled egg, and spinach. I really enjoyed this, especially on the everything bagel!! Next time will add some chili flakes for added heat. I tried a bite of my friend's salmon bagel, which was really tasty as well!! Will definitely be back when I'm in the area again! Limited street parking nearby, and you can park in the garage for free for 1 hr across the street. read more

The food here is not good and overpriced. They refuse to serve coffee drinks or hot chocolate in the evening and their tea is terrible (always tastes burnt). So if you don't want alcohol your options are limited. My group has struggled with this for a long time because we really like the Trivia that Chris does every Monday. The final straw was when one of the wait staff was incredibly rude and yelled quite inappropriately. Thus, we will not be back. It's a sad thing because she lost this place a lot of regular business from a large group. read more

Stopped here for an early (ok, early for us) coffee and breakfast - and we were SO delighted. The coffee was smooth and full, you could tell it was pulled correctly. Our food was fresh, simple, and delicious. We really enjoyed being able to sit in the sun and wake up with this treat. We will be coming back! read more

My fiancé and I have been to Brew a few times and it is our favorite coffee house in the area. I enjoyed the Ginger Cardamom Latte with almond milk. The latte is not too sweet and the espresso is not overwhelming. I recently ordered cold brew nitro with TCHO chocolate and this is my favorite drink! The chocolate is authentic and not syrupy and perfectly pairs with the velvety nitro. It packs a caffeine punch! My fiancé enjoys their matcha latte with oat milk. Unlike popular coffee chains, the sweetness can be adjusted which is a huge plus. I recommend adding a matcha shot for a strong matcha taste! If you are in the area and want a unique coffee house, Brew is the spot! read more

Yum .. had the sausage egg cheese breakfast sandwich .. soft bread .. perfectly seasoned egg . Tasty sausage. Great little spot . Enjoying this place on a Monday morning. read more

We were so happy to stumble upon this spot on our way back from Napa - the location is beautiful, eclectic, and artsy but the staff and food are even better! Don't sleep on the breakfast sandwiches and be sure to check out all of the art read more

This place has every appearance of a neat, local coffee shop, and it is. The coffee is made with care, and unassumingly with precision. No rushing bu a talented baristo. Great vibe. Come visit and support business like this. read more

I can't believe I haven't tried this place sooner! Everything I've tried from this place has been nothing short of delicious! Their vanilla lattes are perfection ( I think they make their own vanilla syrup), their sausage egg cheese sandwich is mouth watering ( it doesn't look like anything special in the pics, but trust me) and their peanut butter cookies are the best I've tried. Ohh and my fave for lunch is their chicken pesto sandwich with small salad on the side. This place and Crooks are my fave in SR. read more

One of the things I love about Yelp is being able to find a local place while traveling, rather than fall back on a national chain. I don't often get this lucky, though. They made me perhaps the best mocha I've ever had. Not overly sweetened, just the perfect amount of chocolate. My wife had a Gibraltar, but made the mistake of assuming that she'd need an extra shot. Her sister had the seasonal spiced latte - in this case, cardamom. All of us thought the drinks were far above standard. They had breakfast sandwiches on beautiful, fluffy English muffins. When I saw them, I briefly regretted ordering my prosciutto panini... but that ended once I took a bite. Layers of flavors, perfectly balanced. Highly recommend. read more

Amazing seeded bagel with smoked salmon and the works. Had it twice in one weekend! Thank you so much for an extra tasty breakfast.

Very appealing compact coffee house and bar with a wide selection of breakfast options, sandwiches, fresh baked sweets, coffee and so much more. Gluten free options were also wonderful to see. Breakfast sandwich with bacon on a bagel was outstanding! read more

Brew is the best. I'm a little biased cause I worked here but it was my hang out spot for a long time before that. Staff are some of the sweetest people you'll meet. Brew has tons of great options for food, coffee and beer. On Monday nights they host trivia and on Tuesday they do open mic. It's really just the hub of the community. read more

I wanted to like this place............and I did! The fact is I want to like every place I go right. Cool spot - friendly to everyone. There's some parking on the right side along the street, but it can be a challenge. More of a walking into joint. It's a cool spot, several tables, stools to look out the windows, and a couple sofa's that I presume have a waiting list because they certainly look comfy. In the summertime, there is seating out front. I dig that this place is marked with a rainbow flag - open to all as it should be all the time. There's a nice variety of sandwiches and salads, a couple soups, - amazing selection of beer on tap for such a small place and some very delicious beers. I was just here for coffee and a couple hard boiled eggs -$5 total, not bad. This is some serious coffee. The con is there's only one size of cup (I like large) it's a medium sized cup and the flavors are very real. Check out the coffee menu - they describe fruit and other nuances you can taste in each of their coffees. This place is LEGIT - we're not talking about a bean pooped out of a monkey's ass. These are top notch priced from $3.50 to $3.75 and in my opinion substantially better than BadAss Coffee where it's $5/cup and too acidic. This is like a great glass of Red wine that's evolving your palate. Love it - check it out. read more

This is a comfortable, easygoing coffeehouse. I guess it's a brew house, too, but in the A.M., coffee and baked goods rule. The coffee is good and is served in beautiful glassware. If you like your coffeehouse with the White Stripes on the soundsystem, then this might be your place. read more

Nice relaxing spot for coffee. Staff was friendly, and the food was great. Will be back! 5 stars

Warm water latte's and breakfast burritos made in a panini grill and served with straight-out-of-a-jar Pace salsa. Ugh. And why do you point at the pick up window but my drinks are inside? And why is my coffee ten minutes later than my food? That makes no sense. And why are all the pastries wrapped in Saran Wrap like little mummies? Did they buy them in bulk at CostCo? The only saving grace here is the quality of coffee beans, which is high. But if I can't get it hot in my hands, who cares? There's literally nuthin' worse than a cup of coffee made from hot tap water. Okay, okay, people who kick puppies are worse. Maybe if they had a hot cup of coffee they'd be less angry. Something to think about. read more

What to do on a Monday off work? Why not stop at Brew to enjoy the vibrant and colorful ambience, great tunes over the speakers, some game time, great drinks, and delightfully tasty food. My daughter and I ordered the Matcha Tea & Chai Tea along with a breakfast burrito and avocado toast. Food is fresh and delicious. They have wonderful savory or sweet options. I highly recommend. Update 10/5/2018: Tried the leafy latte this morning and it's definitely my new favorite. The Chicken Apple breakfast sandwich was magnificent. The bread was crisp yet soft. The aioli used is so delicious and there was an unexpected sweetness in some bites that gave my taste buds a fiesta. Absolutely fantastic! read more

One of our coffee-loving friends recommended this place. We came here twice during our short trip to Sonoma during Labor Day weekend. The coffee here is a bit on the pricey side as it is an independent joint. I ordered an latte, the husband ordered a pour over, and we shared an avocado toast. The latte completely broke up hence the 4 stars instead of 5. My husband enjoyed his pour over and we also ordered a regular the next day we returned. The avocado toast was really good especially their bread. Honestly, I don't think there can be a bad avocado toast. They offer a wide range of drinks from coffee and tea to beer with a mini fridge selling bottled drinks. The dining menu also looks pretty good with a range of breakfast items and also lunch items. Theres plenty of places to sit from tables to couches and also outdoor seating. They have board games and also a mini library of donated books. If I lived in the area, I would come here often. One unisex bathroom. Street parking - metered except Sundays. read more

HOLY COW.!.!.!.! What the heck took me so long to walk through these doors? I am absolutely in love with this coffee shop. How can you step foot inside of another Starbucks after experiencing the love from a local coffee shop. Well, unless you have a Starbucks gift card. Alright .... I will quit the hippie talk....LOL "BREW"....... There is more than coffee being brewed here. To my surprise, there is beer too. There is also food to absorb that beer. Unfortunately, I didnt peak at the menu because I came here mostly full. The menu is thick and foldable, knowing there are many options inside. I will definitely get food here next time. This morning I was able to sit outside quietly with a nice cup of coffee on a Sunday while enjoying one of their Butter Horn pastries that hit that sweet sugar spot in the best way. The atmosphere has A LOT of LOVE and PRIDE. A nice cozy atmosphere where you can sit, relax and enjoy your day stress free (as it should be) They also have a monthly board showing all of the events that happen at BREW. There are a great selection of board games for you and a partner to enjoy. See you soon BREW read more
