    There's a nice chill vibe in here. Cute boutique things for purchase. My matcha had potential. I got the blackberry which had a great flavor it was just way too sweet for my liking. Which is partially my fault. I should have asked for less flavoring. I will definitely go back to try other things.

    It's adorable. Inside and outdoor seating. Great panini menu with some baked good. Loads of beverages, most coffee based. Great atmosphere for working. Always tasty and pleasant here.

    Dirty chai time

    It's been a hot minute since I visiting Brick + Mortar. Located in Simpsonville Brick + Mortar serves up some of the best coffees and has the biggest scones I've ever seen. And they beat those chain stores that just look pretty and taste like flour. They're actually beautiful and delicious. If you need a unique gift they have lots of goodies you can purchase. The honey lavender latte wasn't on the menu; but, I decided to go with the Dirty Chai. Yummy!!!! It went perfectly with the cranberry dark chocolate scone with vanilla drizzle that I had to take home. They're that big. Whether you're visiting the outlet mall or just passing through make a stop at Brick + Mortar. Fabulous small businesses are the best.

    Free Wi-Fi + Coffee makes a great remote work environment when a change of scenery is needed.

    I was recently introduced to Brick+Mortar while working a wedding, and I immediately fell in love. I was given an iced coffee that was bold, flavorful, and seriously hit the spot. I have since been to the store 3 times in the past 10 days. They serve a gluten free pumpkin chocolate chip and a coconut bread that are to die for. They're great cold, and served warm they're next level AH-MAZING. I'm excited to see what other gluten free offerings will be available as seasons change. Their drink selection is quite broad, so there really is something for everyone here. So far I've tried their current selection of seasonal hot drinks: Lumberjack, Oatmeal, Maple Bourbon, Pumpkin Pie. I'm unsure as to which flavor is my favorite. They're excellent with oat milk, I haven't purchased any gifts from the boutique, but they have a great selection. I would love for them to open another location or two! It's a great coffee shop!

    My favorite place for a coffee! With the Sweetest owners and amazing staff you can't go wrong with this local business! My favorite drink is their house made Vanilla Bourbon latte! Perfect for any age

    The perfect way to start any day!

    There are a lot of great places to get coffee, though this happens to be my favorite , but there really is NO better place to get a matcha than B&M! I drive 20 mins out of my way every weekend to stop in for a drink! The seasonal menu items are always A MUST-TRY!

    Nice little local coffee shop with small eats

    I love the Brick + Mortar Boutique & Coffeehouse! It is such a gem to have in Shelbyville & I love the wide range of food, drinks & desserts. We enjoyed the pb&j, matcha latte, grilled cheese & an iced coffee. It was all delicious & we will be back!

    Lovely coffee & delightful coconut & almond slice. Friendly staff too. A bit tucked away so not easy to spot but definitely worth it.

    This is an extremely well designed Asian restaurant that features Chinese, Japanese and Thai…read morecuisine. Our server, Keke X, was very friendly, helpful and attentive (having checked on us several times). We started with the pot stickers (wonderful). Then ordered from the lunch menu which was the perfect amount of food. The restaurant is located behind the Kentucky Outlet Mall so it's a little garden the find if you're not familiar with the location but is well worth the search.

    First and last time at this dump. We walk in and there is only one other table with customers which…read moreis huge red flag for me but we were already there. Not much sushi in this area so wanted to give them a try. Took about 10 minutes to get menus and take our drink order. Remember only one other table in the whole restaurant. Came back with our drinks pretty quick and we placed our order. I tried to order some nigiri but we were told no nigiri and no sashimi. I asked why but the waiter barely spoke English and couldn't answer why. I ordered a spider roll with soft shell crab, asparagus, avocado, masago, scallions and eel sauce. Took an hour to bring our food (still only one other table in the restaurant). The roll I received was fake Kani crab, avocado and eel sauce. I asked the waiter but again he played the "no habla" and couldn't tell me why. Not only did I not get what I ordered but the rolls fell apart trying to eat them. I'm including pics of the roll, pics of the menu and the receipt to show they knew what I ordered but just decided to give me something else. If you don't have soft shell crab just tell me and let me order something else. Will not give them a second chance and hope they go out of business soon so another restaurant that knows what they are doing and cares can give it a shot.
