I was recently attending a wedding in Leesburg and decided to spend time wandering around the cute downtown area. It was a toasty day so a cold beverage sounded perfect. I saw Vander Brew advertising a Dubai Chocolate latte and dropped in. I'm not a coffee drinker so I asked the barista, Valerie, if it would be tasty and possible to make an iced chai latte with the Dubai chocolate additions. She thought it would be tasty and created this delicious beverage for me- what a great choice! An iced chai latte with almond milk, pistachio syrup, and a chocolate drizzle was the ideal treat on a warm day. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Service was great, the location is lovely, and the drink was amazing![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Well made lattes provided a suggestion for flavor and I loved it. From LA and prices were LAish, but if I needed a work spot this would be my place read more

I came here to work on things for work.

I got their season cookie butter biscoff latte. It was delicious and I got their lemon muffin heated. It was delicious. The baristas were sweet and answered my questions.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]What a lovely coffee shop in the heart of downtown Leesburg! Its rustic charm reminds me of home in New England![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I got a tropic trip smoothie and banana nut muffin. The smoothie was good, just a little pricey. The muffin was average, nothing about it stood out to me. [[HIGHLIGHT]]But the ambiance alone for this place makes it a spot I know I'd be down to meet friends or acquaintances at![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Cappuccino was just ok. Service is not very friendly or caring like you would even get at a Starbucks. Maybe it was a bad time but love was definitely not put into the coffee the morning I went. $7 price because I asked for honey also. Tipped $1 for I don't know why. Got better service at the Cuban takeout coffee on 441 read more

I learned alot about the town of Leesburg while I was here. Traveled a long distance to find a place where I can work with my laptop and just enjoy being out of the house. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance at Vander Brew is EXACTLY what I look for in a coffee shop and it will probably go all the way up to my #1 choice for the central florida area if you want a really cool vibe to hang out in drink coffee or do laptop stuff.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]].. Leesburg is a very very unique place and the barista that watches over the place and serves you drinks....she filled me in.... She grew up in the area and knew everything about everything.... Here we go: Leesburg is Lake County Florida's oldest city. It sits on a chain of lakes. There is a very famous special college in Leesburg called Beacon College. This college is not like other colleges it caters specifically to students with learning disabilities and ADHD. While I was there inside the coffee shop I could see these students just wandering around crossing the streets at random points... not crosswalks. Many of them had headphones on and backpacks. I thought it was a bit unusual so that's why I decided to talk to the barista. Also, while I was standing inside this coffee shop I saw police officer and sheriff cars rolling down the very small main street of Leesburg every FIVE minutes. There is an extremely large and prominant Police Station in Leesburg in the dead center of town. When I drove past this police station, which was unavoidable, I found the parking lot to be loaded with as many cop cars as the City of Orlando. I was shocked. I googled this. There is about 64 sworn officers in Leesburg but it seemed like way more. 132 staff? Apparently, the Leesburg Police take care of a very large area of Central Florida. Keep crime at bay and kids out of gangs. I'm glad they are so diligent. However I have never seen such a small town with such a large police presence. If you ever decide to move to Leesburg, Just know...you will for sure be safe! read more

New coffee shop in downtown Leesburg. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I love the vibe and the inside is very chic.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered a frappe. It was a bit too sweet for me, as it tasted more like a milk shake and $8 (with non-dairy milk) was a bit steep for me to not enjoy the drink. My partner enjoy the frappe so I think it just depends on what you're seeking. read more

We stopped by for a quick coffee and snack. We had blackberry latte and black coffee with bagels. The coffee was good and bagel was good but don't like when the butter is hard and won't spread on bagel. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have a small shop you can browse while waiting for coffee.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We did not wait long for our coffee and enjoyed chatting in the window while we sipped our coffee. read more

I was so excited to see this new coffee shop had opened. It is located in downtown Leesburg next door to The Brick & Barrel. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The colors and decor are very trendy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Menu includes coffees, teas, smoothies, milkshakes, hot cocoa and affogato. The drink sizes are 12oz, 16oz or 20oz. I love that they also have merchandise, snacks and fresh baked goods to purchase. Michael, the owner, is so friendly and makes a mean caramel macchiato! The prices, service and drinks are great. I can't wait to come back and try some of the baked goodies with my delicious coffee! You definitely need to visit this spot! read more

I always like to support local business but was very disappointed when I was there just a few minutes ago. No one was very friendly, especially the young lady working the register. A review said that they offered a good variety of gluten-free options. There was only a blueberry muffin. When I opened the sack in the car, it was an Udis muffin in its package. I asked for my cappuccino to be dry as it is always like a latte when done with oatmilk if one doesn't ask for it dry. Alas, it was like a latte. Finally, I was occupied doing some work at my table while waiting for my coffee. No one ever called my name or indicated it was made. There was a coffee sitting on the counter. I had to go up and ask if it was mine as there were others in the store at that time. I will not be going back. Such a shame--I wanted to love it. read more

This is my favorite coffee shop, period. I look forward to coming here when I visit my son at school.

Great location. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Good vibe inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Pastry selection low. (Afternoon) I liked the attitude and coffee creations list. Wife had a vanilla iced coffee. She didn't like it. She told me it was just bad. Since we paid for it, she drank it. My smoothie was great. But $8 for about 7 ounces is a little steep. I had protein powder added. This used to be coffee shop with another name. If this new iteration is going to make it, they must stand out. read more
