The food and drinks were great. Music was a little intense for 7:30 in the morning. Love the Moon on the wall.

Nice spot to grab a cup of Joseph on Brady. Good food every time I've eaten there too. Apparently there are vegan options, but I usually go for meat in my food. Not that there is anything wrong with being a vegan...I'll eat vegan veggies with my meat all day. In fact, I think many vegan items compliment meat very well. For example the BLT. It's pretty much all vegan stuff in it besides the bacon and mayo and maybe the bread. I think its fair to say I'm partially vegan since almost all of my meals have some vegan items in them.

What a cute aclectic spot! The staff was very sweet. Tonnnns of drink options (tea, coffee, etc.)
We sat outside which was fun to people watch.
The asiago bagel was delicious and toasted to perfection. The side of potatoes were perfectly cooked and seasoned no condiments needed.
Would highly recommend and we'd go back!!

The staff is awesome. I have been coming here since it was Brewed Awakenings WAY back in the day and it has had the same vibe over the years. I really appreciate the options for vegans.

Comfy spot to hang, nice menu. Only reason I give 4 stars instead of 5 is because 2 times I've come when google said they'd be open and they weren't. Minor issue, but worth noting. Come here all the time.

They are always amazing. Such good food with options for all diets. They have good covid policies and all staff wore masks correctly the entire time I was there. The perfect location to study or visit with friends!

Sometimes you're between 2 menu items and payday is a week away so you just go with the cheaper one. The universe must have heard my desire for a bagel sandwich because the staff at Brewed Cafe made me one instead of the bagel with cream cheese. What a blessing on a horribly snowy day when every other Brady street cafe was closed. Excellent coffee too, please tip these folks well next time you visit!

Brewed Cafe is the sort of place I think you will get or you won't. It's in the bottom of a big old house on Brady St and it has a sort of magical quality that always makes me think of a proverbial bohemian coffee shop.

With the pandemic they do have a safety plan so there are a smattering of tables to sit at inside. Better than that is sitting in the front or sit patio outside on Brady. Even during the winter people you can sit out with their coffee tea or whatever and it's a nice place to watch the world go by.

There's coffee of course, tea, Italian sodas, juices, and

I stopped in while waiting on a friend. I am from out of town and just happened upon it. I ordered an iced green tea and a cornbread strawberry muffin. The tea was super tasty and the muffin was unique. The young woman behind the counter was very friendly, patient, and helpful. I utilized one of their outside tables until my friend called. All in all it was a very pleasant experience.

My desperation for coffee NOT from my at-home Keurig led me to Brewed Cafe recently. Feeling #thankful that there are curbside coffee options during this time!

It was a sunny day, the perfect time for a walk and for my first iced latte of the year. My husband and I headed toward Brady and a few minutes before we arrived we called in for our order. We felt comfortable entering into the cute little cafe to pay at the counter. A friendly face rang us up and we were on our way!

That first cold sip was worth the walk. I had it made with almond milk which offered a creamy taste. My husband got a big

The place:
Brewed Cafe is one of those places that feels like artists could sit around, talk about their work, and crank out some solid poetry. In the main space with the counter, the walls are painted red and trimmed along the ceiling with gold detail. The ceiling might be tin, hard to say because it's painted (?) white. There's a portrait of a really good orange and white cat near the front counter.

The menu is considerable. Drinks include standard brewed coffee, espresso drinks, teas, beer and wine, and things like apple cider or Italian soda. They serve breakfast all day and their

This is a fantastically hip place to hang. So much free-wheeling art is worth browsing. Folk, abstract, collage, watercolor impression, pop - cool, groovy, every good thing.

Plus Mexican mocha is the tastiest i've had.

Saturday morning at around 10a and got a table of our choice immediately. We ordered what we wanted at the counter and picked up our drinks at the other side of the counter. Food were delivered to your table.

My order included a classic breakfast (toast of my choice and 3-egg scrambled eggs) and a tall latte. My rye toasts were burned and the eggs were over cooked and dried.

Latte was okay. Service was okay. We bused our table after done eating. The place was neat but the food was just ok.

Saw the Youtube video posted by Daniel D.(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ebShl68b0U&t=308s) and was appalled at the way the staff from this place treated him. The woman with the shorn head used both hands to give him the finger. The fat guy who had been inside actually went outside to continue harassing Daniel D., as well. A cafe like this run by people like that is a disgrace. I would never step foot in there. In addition, the guy with the bicycle did walk in off the street and went behind the counter to fill his coffee, then left. Methinks the hygiene is nasty, at best. Consider too, the

Good food but rude people. I think I was the 1st person in their For the day. The Counter person went in the back room on the phone with someone must have asked The person if anyone was in there and the counter person said yes just some older guy is in here. If you talk about your customers make sure you say things a little quieter.

What a great place!

Lots of yummy options that could also be vegan, which made it hard just to choose 1 thing! I got the tofu burrito and it was delicious (and huge!). I also got a soy hazelnut latte- creamy, not overly sweet, and a generous size.

I ate on a cozy couch in the room off to the size and was in bliss. Staff was very friendly and attentive and it looks as if they make everything fresh and onsite.

Would definitely recommend for a coffee, a meal or both!
