cute little cafe in phoenixville! dropped by early one morning before clinical for a coffee, and was pleasantly surprised by how cute the shop was. it was the week of july 4th, so everything was super america-core. i wish i got a picture of the decorations, it was kind of insane. i got the banana bread latte special, and my boyfriend got the strawberry shortcake. the drinks were a little too sweet, and the coffee was not very strong. it definitely was more of a sweet treat than a morning coffee albeit tasty. i don't think i need to be having what tastes like 500 calories and 60 grams of sugar at 8 in the morning, but the drinks were yummy if sugar is up your alley. the drinks were also quite expensive, i think it was almost $10 a drink which is kind of insane. the staff were fine, not memorable / particularly friendly. maybe we just ordered the wrong thing, but i wouldn't try it again unless there were no other options nearby. i'm not sure if i'm being unreasonable because i'm used to the quality in the city... perhaps it's unreasonable to hold the suburbs to such high expectations? read more

Don't come here for breakfast sandwiches, coffee only. They charge $10 for pre cooked bacon that still doesn't look cooked. Egg patty pre made and reheated as well. Everything bagel was about half the size of the cinnamon raisin. Need to invest in better quality ingredients if that's what they're going to charge. Coffee was good. read more

Sweet Brew Café in Phoenixville is one of my absolute go to spots whenever I'm back in town. It is a small and cute little café with a really cozy feel. The service is pretty good for the most part and I have never had any problems when I go in. I always stop in for their bagels. They make them homemade in a brick fired oven and you can taste the difference. My order is always the lox with jalapeño cream cheese, cucumbers, tomatoes, red onions, and the salmon. It is outstanding. They never overdo it with the salmon, which I really appreciate because some places pile it on and it throws the whole taste off. Here the balance is perfect every time. I am not much of a coffee drinker, but my cousin gets their coffee on the regular and she loves it. They always have seasonal flavors and she looks forward to trying the new ones. Sweet Brew is definitely one of those spots I visit every single time I'm in Phoenixville. It is reliable, delicious, and such a great little café. read more

I've been a fan of Sweet Brew since they opened. I used to go out of my way to go here, because I love their weekly featured latte flavors and they originally had an extensive menu of unique toppings for their bagels. Apparently, I was in the minority with loving the unique bagel toppings though because they ended up paring back the menu so they weren't wasting food (which I am fully in support of even if it made me sad). So while I don't go out of my way to visit anymore now that they have a more basic bagel menu, they are my go-to coffee and bagel place when I'm in Phoenixville. I was in town with my boyfriend for Blobfest last weekend and we ended up stopping by two days in a row. The first day we unknowingly arrived just a couple minutes before they were scheduled to close, but they were happy to take our orders and didn't make us feel rushed at all. I couldn't resist trying the featured Blob Cold Brew, and it was delicious. I love a sweet coffee drink (the sweeter, the better) and I loved this one with the raspberry cold foam. We also grabbed a Jalapeno Red Pepper Bagel with Garden Veggie Cream Cheese and it was tasty. The bagel definitely had some kick to it, and I like their veggie cream cheese. The next day we stopped in after the Blobfest running races, and the shop was pretty busy. We didn't feel like we were waiting extra long though, and the employees were doing a great job of calmly churning out orders from the small kitchen for the walk-ins customers, as well as putting together take-out orders that delivery people kept coming in to pick up. I tried the Berries and Cream Iced Latte and it was very creamy and flavorful. We also got a couple bagels with Lemon Blueberry Cream Cheese, which was yummy. The shop is small, so there's no indoor seating or restroom, but they do have half a dozen outdoor tables for dining in nicer weather. read more

I really wanted to like this place more, but unfortunately I don't think the quality justifies the prices. The food is pretty average overall for what they're charging, and the cafe itself has some significant limitations--there's no indoor seating, no customer bathroom, and parking can be difficult. What concerns me much more are some of the food-handling practices I've seen. I've seen food picked up off the floor followed by continued food preparation without gloves being changed. I've also seen employees eat while wearing gloves, lick their gloves, and then continue handling customers' food without changing them. I've seen employees touch phones, personal drink containers, trash cans/bags, and other non-food surfaces with gloved hands before going directly back to handling food. A lot of the preparation area is visible from the customer side, and seeing things like this doesn't exactly inspire confidence. I'm also bothered by how some of the food is represented. The owners recently responded to a Google review by saying their bagels are "all hand rolled," even though the regular bagels are sourced from New Yorker Bagels. Despite the impression that the bagels are brought in fresh every morning, they aren't necessarily from that morning's delivery and may have been stored from an earlier batch. Grocery-store bagels have also been used when additional bagels were needed. There's nothing inherently wrong with a cafe sourcing bagels from another bakery, storing products for later use, or finding substitutes when something runs out. The problem is presenting products to customers as something they're not. I'd much rather a business simply be transparent about what it's serving. Service can be hit or miss, and the whole place can feel pretty chaotic when it's busy. There are certainly positives here, and I'm not going to pretend everything is terrible. The food isn't awful, but it's also nothing particularly special for the price. Overall, between the prices, average food, limited amenities, food-handling practices I've witnessed, and the lack of transparency about some of the products, I don't think it's worth what they charge and wouldn't recommend it. read more

Call me dramatic but after one bite of their jalapeño bagel I threw it out of the car window. Didn't care if a cop was behind me, they would understand my frustration. It's offensive this business is passing these off as bagels. It's not an exaggeration to say Lenders are their equivalent. Is nothing sacred. I hear another bagel place is moving into phoenixville, and it's gonna be Sweet Goodbye to Sweet Brew if you don't make a frickin change. read more

Untrained staff. I had a big strand of hair in my bagel and upon bringing it to their attention, the staff barely acknowledged it. They didn't even offer to make me another one. I had to speak with the manager to bring it to his attention. Please train your staff properly. read more

I'm not sure how long they have been open but this is a great addition to downtown Phoenixville. I love the different latte specials each weeks. This week was king cake flavor for March Gras and it was delicious! Staff is super friendly and speedy. Online ordering is easy and a great way to grab and go on your way to work!! read more

My first time stopping in today- the most impressive aspect to me is their homemade cream cheeses. I had the fresh strawberry cream cheese with strawberry pieces atop a jalapeño bagel, and that was delicious! Would come back for this combo. The bagels are shipped from elsewhere but they are good. The dirty chai latte was bland, and upon opening the cup and seeing a tea bag inside, I understood that it was just steamed milk atop a tea bag. I think in the future I would go here for a bagel and to Soltane cafe for a coffee. I do like the seating options outside though! Overall, grateful to have a great bagel place nearby. read more

I went here with a group of friends, it was very clean and nice but pretty small which wasn't an issue . Workers there were very sweet, patient, and gave recommendations. I would give 5 stars but coffee was just ok. The flavor was lacking, and didn't really have enough espresso. I would go again just maybe get a different drink. read more

I love sweet brew. I don't drink coffee often but I've found lately that sweet brew is the only place I can trust to make a simple good latte. Soemtimes they're too sweet.... Depends on barista! I always ask for half a flavor shot and it's very delicious and not overpowering. The cinnamon dolce is my favorite thing in the whole world. Idk why no one else does caramel cinnamon? It's to die for! Also love their NYC bagels. They're not made in house but idc, they're actually good. Nyc does the bagel just right so I'd take a bagel from up there versus an in house PA bagel any day. We love the rainbow and jalapeño bagel. I'm looking forward to their fall and Christmas specials. read more

What an amazing little place! Located along the main drag in Phoenixville, they offer coffee, tea and some of the most amazing bagels around. The service is fast and friendly. While I was there a line formed out the door. Word is getting around quickly. I tried a blueberry bagel and cannot wait to go back. While I was walking down the sidewalk enjoying my bagel I passed a couple who had also stopped there. We took a moment to exclaim how awesome they are. Good stuff! Go check them out! read more

I love love love sweet brew!!! The weekly lattes are to die for and the bagels are one of a kind!

I read on a Facebook group that Sweet Brew had the best bagels in Phoenixville so I decided to stop in to try one. What the Facebook comments failed to mention was that you could customize these fresh delicious bagels with whatever cream cheese and toppings you'd like. Wow!! My French Toast bagel with sweet cream cheese, bananas, and Cinnamon Toast Crunch was to die for! I ordered their summer latte to go with it- an iced Cinnamon Toast Crunch latte! Highly, highly recommend this place if your looking for a fun spin in coffee & bagels! read more

Visiting friends in the area and stopped into this cute shop. I got an iced cookie butter latte which was absolutely delicious...a good balance of sweet and coffee taste. Also got an everything bagel with their seasonal herb cream cheese....oh my goodness soooo amazing!! The bagel was so soft and tasty!!! If I lived in the area I would be going here all the time. Staff was super friendly and nice. It is a small place so it is definitely more of a grab and go but would definitely recommend!!! read more

The bagels are New York quality and the drinks are great! Staff are always very friendly and inviting. Cozy vibe inside

I love this place . It is just so cute and the people are so nice and friendly. They never mess up my order and are super quick and consistent. The food is so good and everything from the breakfast sandwiches to the croissants are delicious. They also have a flavor of the week for coffee which is nice to be able to try new flavors of coffee. But the best part of the place is how they add personal touches to their food and drinks around holidays . They had lucky charms lattes and green bagels for Saint Patrick's day and dad jokes written on the coffee cups for Father's day . I don't know what i would do without this place . read more

It's nice having a "grab & go" breakfast place in town with somewhat of vegan options but it's nothing special. Gets the job done for both food and coffee. And what defeats the purpose is you supposedly still have to wait in the line if you have a pick up order ready. They don't have them out for you like most places. I had to awkwardly cut the line to tell the cashier Im just looking for my pickup order and she gave me a stank face about it read more

My wife and I were only in town for two days and both days we got our coffe at Sweet Brew Cafe. This was the best coffee I have had in awhile! Also, The service was great. I wish we had a place like yours where we live. Thank You! read more

I had an Americano and it was very weak. Could hardly taste the coffee. The barista was kind enough to offer an extra shot of expresso but I opted to try their drip coffee to see if it was any better. It was slightly better but still very weak tasting. I admit that I am prefer dark roast coffees, but even Wawa coffee has more flavor. The bagels were very good, however! read more

Great coffee, friendly staff. I had an iced coffee with sweet cream cold foam. Delicious!

The best coffee/bagel shop ever with the nicest staff and owners! Highly recommend!!!

The bagels here are delicious. I get mine plain and take home to make breakfast sandwiches with, so I can't speak for the toppings, but the bagels themselves are great read more
