Fantastic spot serving parlor coffee! Solid shots and very well balanced lattes. Friendly staff and highly knowledgeable about the coffee. While parking can be a bit of a tricky time, it is great location for a Sunday morning!

Good quality healthy food! Probably the best avocado toast I’ve ever had (as for taste!). And finally good tea in the area! Not in tea bags as everywhere else. Thank you so much, we had good Sunday breakfast😌Hope you will add more healthy breakfast options, such as Acai bowl, Healthy pancakes, Eggs, Salmon Avo toast.

The waitress messed up my order. I came here with a friend. I asked for decaf latte with Oat-milk, but I was given cappuccino with regular milk that my friend ordered, only realized after having it. I’m lactose intolerant and can’t have too much caffeine. But they messed up my order. I don’t recommend this place

I just experienced my first cup of drip at Brew in Cary and I have to say that was a great cup of coffee! I only wish I had purchased a larger size The! The service was exemplary and the place was spotless. Great job Brew Cary! That other coffee place that starts with a S has nothing on Brew. Would you consider opening a location in Newton or Hickory NC?

They were very kind and asked right away what I would like to have.It was made perfectly, perfect froth and pretty design and even brought it to me. It was my first time there and I thought the drink I got was really good even after it wasnt hot anymore. Very delicious for sure. 😋😋😋

One if the best coffee shops in Cary. The people behind the counter really know their stuff when it comes to making coffee specialties, such as all types of espresso drinks with beautiful art. Tyler and the team go above and beyond for all guests.

This place is great! The staff are really friendly and the coffee is high quality. We split a cinnamon croissant roll and it was delicious. We appreciate that they give you real silverware and mugs. I did not know before going in, but they also have a good selection of wine and beer.

Great coffee in Cary! There are about four tables on the patio outside, so not tons of outdoor seating, but I have not had trouble finding a seat when Ive gone. You can bring your dog on the patio. I like that if you order to dine in, they give you an actual mug, not a paper cup

We stopped here while at another event in town. This Lavender Latte with oat milk was perfect! There is a nice, friendly staff and nice modern atmosphere. Place was spotlessly clean also 👍

Today was my first time at BREW, but I’m already planning my next visit. I was so impressed with the kind staff and EXCELLENT tea! They also have wonderful seating both indoors and out.

Review №14

The ambiance and service are both great. I would strongly recommend the rose latte (with added vanilla as a personal preference). The baristas latte art was excellent as well. All in all, definitely a location worth frequenting.

Review №15

Brew does just that - they brew great coffee. Been multiple times and never been disappointed. Staff are always helpful with good suggestions. Place is always clean and for the most part always on the quieter side. It’s always busy. Lines are too long. Always a good place for conversation. I recommend.

Overpriced and garbage food. $6 for a small, watered down iced latte. The honey chicken sandwich looks like a kids lunchable, tasted terrible too

We had a pair lattes, hit the spot. Grateful to find this spot open early in a Sunday AM so a couple travelers could get their caffeine on.

Got a latte and a cinnamon roll. The latte was absolutely delicious. The espresso was the perfect flavor. They also had an option for milk alternatives which I was grateful for. Cinnamon was buttery and flakey. Highly recommend!

Really great coffee and friendly staff. They can make specialty drinks well and their standard coffee is good too (a latte is what is pictured)!! It’s a little hard to get to and park since it is downtown Cary but overall a great place once you are there!!

Excellent place to get work done while continually fueling up on coffee. Most of the time theyre brewing B&W coffee, which is EXCELLENT and roasted in Wake Forrest. Highly recommend if you want to spend a day working in downtown Cary and enjoying its small town vibes.

Review №25

Awesome spot in downtown Cary, in the middle of the action beside the theater. Great coffee and 🍻 + 🍷 too. Theyve added more seating upstairs to seat more guests and have some quieter laptop areas. Parking can be difficult sometimes but its worth a little walk.

Nice little spot down town Cary. While I was there they were selling “Union Special Bread” and they had a delicious selection of breads, pastries and cookies. This caused a slight back as the lines were mixed but still really good.

Very nice staff. Overpriced and mediocre (at best) coffee. They try to be unique with their drinks, but it does not end up being unique in a good way.

Review №50

Love the vibe. Calm...warm...cozy, but also sophisticated. Coffee was good and a good size for what you pay for. Had the honey chicken salad which was good but nothing spectacular....its a coffee place. Lots of seating available but metal chairs are not my jam. Would be 5 stars if they had more comfortable seating! Otherwise great!

Review №51

I am a big fan of black coffee. Plain, nothing in it. Normally, a house coffee is a fairly inexpensive item on the menu. I ordered one and with tax it came to $3.79. That is a ton of money for a house coffee. Like way to much. And it wasnt even that great. If it was the best coffee in town, sure it would worth that much. I would be happy to pay 2.50 for the coffee I got here. Almost 4 bucks is ridiculous.

Review №52

This place is great. I stopped in with my 2 daughters one morning when we came down to walk around while we waited for my car to be serviced. They made a fresh pot of coffee for me (no, I do not mind waiting for fresh coffee!) and the monster cookie we got was fantastic. The people behind the counter were super nice and they were full of information, too which was really nice. A local place with nice people and good drinks/snacks always makes me want to come back.

Review №54

This place is wonderful very welcoming, coffee artfully served with a smile. Light music in the background compliments the nearby theatre and various theatrical themed photos, local artists brighten the walls with art. Indoor and outdoor off sidewalk seating has a lovely view of this quaint downtown area. This is a wonderful first afternoon date location, if you like the theater and wine they have that too at night.

The baristas here are so friendly and kind. Especially after I saw them deal with a customer who was being a PITA about wanting a cookie and threw a fit when they were out. Throughout the whole experience, they were calm, especially the male barista w/ glasses. Impressed by their professional attitude. Go them!

Service was awesome. I asked for a recommendation, house specialty, and was suggested a Lavendar Latte. It was different, unusual, not something I could get just anywhere.

Ca
Review №58

The coffee is good, you have to try the latte, they make nice milk art on it which makes the drinking experience interesting. It has a nice outdoor patio where you can watch people walking by. The only thing I dont like about this place are the metal chairs which are uncomfortable.

Within walking distance of our house, my husband and I recently discovered this relaxing coffee place and cant get enough of it. The staff is friendly and skilled at their jobs, so naturally the coffee is very good. Though we always choose to sit outside, there is indoor seating as well. Cozy vibes and good coffee would recommend. We ordered the latte, comes in actual cups also, very cute.

Best coffee in Cary, hands down. The service is always amazing, the baristas are very nice and great to have a conversation with. Glad they support local businesses by carrying their coffee beans, beer and other products. All their espresso beverages are always delicious. Zero complaints. I recommend this place to anyone that asks for good coffee in the area.

Review №66

Cashier was leaned over the counter on her cell phone (before and after she took my order), only a basic menu posted and not very helpful suggesting drinks for first time customers . Coffee was drinkable, but not what I ordered (I would have said something but she seemed to busy chillin at the counter), knowing youre the first person people see in the morning, a welcoming smile would go a long way. If youre walking downtown or need a quick plain coffee its great, if you are looking for something more, its not worth the wait

Review №69

I would say BREW is comparable to Bond Brothers. They have an excellent product and its in a space that makes you feel more urbane than a lot of what you find in Cary. It does come at a price. I had a beautiful and delicious latte this morning, but it was $4. Id say that the volume was about the same as a tall at Starbucks, but it cost $1 more.The difference is that the atmosphere is great. Youre buying local. It comes in a ceramic mug and has some beautiful art in the foam. The coffee is far superior.Come to BREW for the experience. This would not be my stop for just a cup of joe, but it is a great place to enjoy coffee and time with a friend.

Great place to sit down and have a conversation with someone over coffee.Seating is a bit limited for those looking to be close to electrical outlets to get some remote work done, but if you grab a seat, it has a nice atmosphere to get work done.Will be back.

Personable and professional staff. Iced mocha was delicious: whole milk, recommended, and just the right balance between espresso and mocha. It may help that the weather was beautiful as I sat outside, sipping my coffee, having wonderful conversation.

Review №76

I dont know his name, but the man who is always there taking my order and making beautiful drinks is always kind, enjoys hearing about my day, and offers excellent suggestions based on what Im feeling that day. Hes kind and his latte art is superb! The atmosphere is also wonderful - its conducive to both informal chats and more official business meetings, with everything in between. My only regret is that its not bigger - I hardly could squeeze into anything when I was 9 months pregnant! Though thats probably more to do with my size than the seating arrangements. :) Definitely a coffee shop worth the trip.

New staff dont know coffee or how to be a professional barista. Theyd fit a college Starbucks better. But coffee can be great, depending whos making it.

Ed
Review №78

The coffee there is very reasonable priced, tastes great, and is served in a glass cup with a plate, which really reinforces the coffeeshop feel. The layout and lighting combined with this gives it a very relaxing atmosphere, making it the perfect place to pass some time or get some work done.

Review №81

I bought a large drip coffee. That coffee cost me 3.71 cents.. WHAT A RIP OFF. Average coffee, from very average help, clearly paying for your environment in this place because the service was ok, thatll be 3.71, thanks heres your coffee. I havent ever paid that much for a drip coffee, and I just looked at it and decided fool me once. Ill pick a different place next time... there are tons of places all over town that have better coffee (in a bigger cup) for less money.. (For reference and entire pound bag of counter culture coffee beans is 11 bucks). Even if the environments kind of nice (although I got weird looks for speaking with a normal volume.. its not a library.. its a coffee shop) the chairs are uncomfortable.

Review №86

Went here for the first time today and got a mocha. Honestly it was one of the best mochas Ive ever had. But it was pricey at $4.50, and it feels like I got a few less oz than a Starbucks small. But the atmosphere was good and the staff friendly enough. Wish parking was a little easier. Overall a pretty good coffee spot.

Review №89

We were so happy when we discovered Brew downtown Cary. Two words Id use to describe their service and coffee - delicious and consistent. Their coffee never taste burnt and they dont overdo the sweet. Space inside is well utilized and cozy with the choice a few 4 tops, 2 tops and about 6 cushy chairs around a nice coffee table if you just want to chill and enjoy your beverage.

My favorite coffee spot in Cary! I come here almost every day. Join the mug club! The staff are some of the nicest folks youll meet--theyre very accommodating and some are proper latte art masters. Just this weekend one of the baristas overheard that my niece loved dragons and surprised her with a beautiful intricate dragon design in her hot chocolate.

One of the few quality coffee/beer/wine establishments. For snobbery in all the above there is happiness at Brew. Nitro draft cold coffee is a little pricey but so worth it - Full body, creamy, smooth and non-acidic. Good selection of smaller cafe-type bites, good atmosphere for hanging out or working remotely. Music is always great (a lot of indie, Mellow and upbeat). A few outside tables to enjoy the better weather days. Each visit is welcomed with a smile with engaging employees. Highly recommended!
