My new favorite coffee spot! I'm currently in my pandan obsession era and this place does it RIGHT…read more I've already been back more times than I can count. So far, I've tried the pandan, the brown sugar, and the sesame latte all iced w/ oat milk and they've all been a hit. The pandan is easily my fave, but if you're trying the brown sugar and don't love super sweet drinks I'd recommend adding an extra shot to balance it out. The drinks are consistently good and you can tell they really care about the quality. It's one of those spots you keep thinking about and end up going back to without even planning it. Customer service was solid and there's plenty of seating, which makes it a nice place to hang out or get some work done. Parking was also easy, which is always a win. Highly recommend checking this place out especially if you're a pandan lover like me!

Public Square has been closed since April after staff walked out and eventually quit due to unpaid…read morewages. Unfortunately, this place was on the decline leading up to these events. It would usually take a half hour to get a simple drink order. Food that was previously wow turned into meh (I'm looking at you, shashuka). I don't blame the baristas. I don't think the business owners ever properly streamlined their ordering process / menu to get items out effectively. I hope we get something nice to replace this space.

I also tried their vanilla chai this time around, and it was perfect! It's made from a powder rather than steeped tea, but it's a great sweet chai. They have lots of drink options, a variety of pastries, and plenty of seating. The cafe is super cute and cozy, and we'll definitely be back for the Turkish hazelnut coffee!

And, not for nothing, when I'm at Brew Coffee Spot picking up the beans I ordered online, I always have a coffee. Joe either does a great job of training his baristas, or he's REALLY good at hiring talent, or both. Seriously... his folks make my coffees, usually a cortado or a straight espresso, with a downtown San Francisco or Rome level of competence.

Inside the café it is very dim and there is a big line of people waiting to place an order at the car area. There are tables with people and it was fairly busy. Unfortunately, there was only one person running the register, making drinks, and running orders to tables. We finally were able to place our order. My husband order a pinot noir from France and a lemon bar, I ordered a large iced mocha and a cheesecake. We paid and went to look for a table(my friend reserved a table, but someone stole it). Our food and drinks arrived at our table. We noticed that the receipt said pinot noir from california, the barista must have rang up and served the wrong one. My husband didn't want to complain, so he just drank it. My iced mocha was delicious, I even saved about half of it for the next day and it was still really good. My cheecake was huge and I loved the sauce that was on top. I was disappointed that the cheesecake was still a little frozen/frosty in the middle. My husband liked his lemon bar but seemed store bought. Overall we had a couple inconveniences but we still had a good time.

This real-wood (maybe reclaimed?) is super cool!

And since they're open 24 hours, I knew I had a good chance of getting something fresh. Let me tell you what I grabbed: Glazed donut Bear claw Sinclair donut BABY... when I tell you these donuts were hitting?! The glazed didn't even make it home. Not even out the parking lot good. You know how sometimes you bite into a donut and it's just... air? Dry? No substance? Not here. These were hearty but still light, fresh without being greasy, and that glaze? Soft and perfectly sweet -- not that dry, crackly, fall-off-in-your-lap situation. Just melt-in-your-mouth goodness. And that bear claw? Stuffed and substantial. They are not skimping on anything over here. The donuts are a really good size too. At $1.75 for regular donuts and $3.00 for the large fancy ones, it's honestly a steal. Now let's talk service. Peter is SO sweet. Great customer service, patient, and he'll happily explain the donuts, ingredients, and menu if you have questions. That kind of hospitality at 1AM? Top tier. I'll be honest -- I'm normally a Sunny Donut girlie... but "Honey Donuts" just took them down and took the crown. If you're ever in Santee and you want fresh, affordable, legit GOOD donuts any time of day (or night), give them a try. You won't regret it. Thank me later. You're welcome.

I ate half the maple bar inside the car, and the other half and glazed buttermilk a couple of hours later at home. Both were delicious. Should definitely not judge a book by it's cover. Would definitely return if we are around again, and may even convince BB to try a donut next time.
