I chose a donut and it was freshly baked and had the perfect ratio of soft, savory, and sweet. They also have a full coffee menu. I opted for a drip coffee, and it was great. Service was prompt, polite, and the staff had a welcoming home town feel. The interior is well decorated, modern, semi-industrial, but very cozy. I love the exposed brick, wood beams, and seasonal Christmas decor. There were several groups of all ages hanging out. Great small town local feel. Make sure to check out this place.

Sometimes they run events too, like karaoke night in April - lots of fun! Matt really does care about everyone who walks in his doors, remembers my name every time as well as his regular customers' usual orders, and loves to sit and chat with anyone. His family is so cute too! He uses only the very best, completely organic coffee, including decaf using the swiss water process (the only decaf that I don't react to), to make the absolute best, always great-tasting drinks. Did I mention their whipped cream is homemade? I LOVE the Shaka Shack! Go in and ask for a marker to trace your hand and put your very own shaka signature on the wall!

The flavors meld together so well. It had a little spice to it, but nothing that lingered on your tongue in an annoying way. I had a seasonal latte and it was like Autumn in a cup. Baby had a mango smoothie and a breakfast sandwich. The smoothie was delicious! Sandwich was cooked perfectly and toasted up in a handheld package. The cafe itself was cute and clean. Decorated for Spooky Season, as I visited here in the Fall. Can't wait to visit Van Wert again to stop into Brewed Expressions. And kudos to the staff! They were professional, helpful, and well coordinated in their service-- communicating kindly to me and to each other and pitching in to help for efficiency. Kind of rare to see these days in the service industry...

She ordered the French Soda and the breakfast sandwich and I did a custom iced latte (white chocolate and pistachio with almond milk) and the smoked Gouda grilled cheese. Everything was very good and perfectly made. They did run out of eggs that morning so my friend's breakfast sandwich was just a bagel, cheese, and bacon. They didn't have any sauces to add to it. The workers were so friendly and helpful. They clearly know the regular customers and they stayed busy. My friend and I aren't familiar with Van Wert and the staff was happy to recommend local businesses for us to visit while he hung out. We were there on a Saturday morning and it was busy, but there's ample seating so it was fine. It was cute inside and the enjoyed the exposed brick walls.

Drinks: Ordered the seasonal salted caramel mocha... WOWWZA! Super sweet and delicious. I usually drink my coffee black, so this was a fun treat. Service/Ambiance: The staff is very friendly and helpful. Big plus, they have a drive thru and take Apple Pay. Inside feels cozy and homey, with tables if you want to sit and hang out. I came with a friend and we left really happy. Parking: Heads up, parking/drive thru are a little tricky since it's behind the building near North Metts St. This place used to be a house before it became a coffee shop, so the layout is a bit unique. If you're not from the area, it might take a second to figure out where to pull in. Overall, really enjoyed it and can't wait to come back and try more drinks!!
