On this crisp, sunny Saturday morning we decided to go on a local explore…read more We had thirst for a craft coffee and small breakfast. So we ventured for the first time to Brakeman's Cafe. A sweet scene across the street from the Colebrookdale Rail, we sat outside and enjoyed the quiet view. My husband ordered an Iced Caramel Fluff Coffee and my being on a chai kick lately, tried their small hot variety. Drinks came out quickly considering the line of patrons ordering and most of the indoor seating full. We sat with our number at a table outside. The brisk air was delightful and even more delightful was the rest of our breakfast. My husband ordered an Everything Bagel Sandwich with Cheddar and Sausage. He enjoyed it, said it needed some spice or sauce though. I was delighted in my pick! An Everything Bagel with the lemon-dill cream cheese. This cream cheese should be sold on its own! I'd purchase (or would love to steal the recipe!). The cream cheese was more a like a dip in consistency. Smooth, flavorful and light. This was inspo for me to try to make later and put on bagels, sandwiches and crackers (still thinking about eating it, lololol). What a wonderful start to the weekend! A local gem in Brakeman's!!

I'll start with the positives.. the workers were really nice and the place was cute (grandma vibes…read more/quirky). Okay now onto the other stuff. When we went, most of their coffee specials were sold out. They're also dairy free but why don't they advertise that? We had people after us also ask for dairy milk too. We ordered one of their spring lattes and a cortado and the barista asked "hot or iced" for the cortado. I don't think I've ever had an iced cortado in my life. When i got my regular cortado (hot), it was in a 10-12 oz cup (look at my picture of the cortado cup vs my medium latte) and don't get me wrong.. i do love that because it's huge but .. as a coffee roaster... y'all don't do the typical cortado size? It was weird to me. Like they just opened a coffee roaster/coffee shop but don't really know the coffee basics? The espresso shot pulled was also pretty sour. I don't think I've ever had a bad shot with a coffee roaster shop but this one is an exception i guess. Spring latte was also not good. Syrup was nonexistent in flavor and latte was watery. If you were to come here & want a hot latte, just order a hot cortado. You'd get more bang for your buck.

But this was too many. Everything else was fine. I'd give it a six out of a 10 overall but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little bit bummed to not be able to find an authentic New York style fresh bagel with lox and cream cheese.

I quickly changed my order I learned that the syrup they use is not maple syrup. So I opted for a couple of eggs with Burt's bacon and a house made biscuit. The eggs were nicely over medium as ordered. As opposed to most cafes, these appeared to be made in a skillet with real butter. Thank you!!! The 4 slices bacon were a thicker slice and nicely prepared. Home fries were too few and bit soggy but decent in flavor. The biscuit was not what I expected. Although fresh, it was not at all flaky and was more like bread than biscuit. Jelly requested came out in small paper cup. Coffee was fresh. Service was pleasant as was the decor. Come for the eggs. Bring your own maple syrup Get Burt's bacon.
