Reviews for Strange Brew Cafe in Binghamton, NY
Went in for breakfast and was extremely happy with the service. The pulled chicken sandwich was delicious and so was the Iced... latte! Read more
We stopped here for a quick bite to eat and it far exceeded my expectations! Everything tasted amazing, the bagel and breads... were toasted just right! The mac and cheese grilled sandwich? Definitely worth a try. The coffee was also very tasty and theservice was great. Friendly staff and clean bathroom. Overall great place to check out and would eat here again if in the area! Read more
Great local coffee shop! Quality drinks! Delicious sandwiches! You can flavor your drinks but I would recommend their americano!... Really good espresso flavored drink! The atmosphere is also great to meet with someone or work on something as long as you bringheadphones when its busy. Read more
Cute coffee shop in downtown bing. Lots to choose from both in coffee, tea, smoothies and food. Everyone was nice that I... interacted with. Prices are average. The mocha frappe wasn?t too sweet too which was nice. Got pretty busy so make sure to planfor that. Read more
Pretty place and has a good vibe here. The coffee and bubble tea are rich, but I do think their bubble tea is quite sugary. Also... a bit pricy for bubble tea. But I still recommend for the taste! Read more
Had a really horrible experience with Strange Brew after several years of going there occasionally for coffee and a dessert or a... breakfast sandwich alone or with my husband and son. Ordered a Chef Special Salad. Description is ?arugula, roasted beets,goat cheese, sliced almonds, dried cranberries, roasted pulled chicken, mustard tarragon dressing ? for $12 (an entree salad perthe manager). There was a ton of arugula but very, very little of everything else ? see photos. I was shocked when I saw thisand immediately called them. I had already used my lunch break to pick up the salad so couldn?t go back to return it. Themanager had me take photos and email them twice, talked twice on the phone, and then said the other ingredients only lookedsparse because I had mixed up the salad. The side photo clearly shows little mixed below the surface. Why make me go to thiseffort and then insult me by suggesting I was hiding the ingredients. Manager offered to bring me a new salad but if he thinksthe original is acceptable, then we?re back where we started. Plus it?s getting late and I don?t have any more time. I did theright thing by calling immediately and sending photos. That should have been the end of it with the charge being reversed onthe unacceptable item, apology made, and asking me to come back to try them again sometime, or some normal response like that. Instead, he starts being subtly insulting and trying to negotiate half off since it?s like a side salad ? but I didn?t order aside salad, it?s supposed to be an entree salad! I didn?t get what I paid for, end of story. This is 100% unsatisfactory. Beware of buying food there if this is how it can be, a rip-off. And you will be treated badly by the management to boot. Justread a few other reviews that were negative and the manager or owner gives a long defensive response, citing industry standardsand supporting small businesses for why the complaint isn?t legit, even insulting another revi Read more
This is a very popular place with the college folk. They have an exceptionally diverse menu for food having a brunch like feel... to it. The coffee was good and service was very quick. They take cash, cards, and electronic payments which is exceedinglyconvenient. They also have wi-fi and apparently they allow people to study there. Seating is highly limited so get there earlyor be fast when a seat opens. Read more
CAUTION: Strange Brew Inside!! Contents may be Hot and Incredibly Delicious. I?ve been vibing with Strange Brew for years now.... With such Great Coffee, Baked Morning Delights, and just a straight up Dope Ambiance: they are my Go-To for real coffee in theDowntown Binghamton area. (Please open one on the South Side. BEST SIDE!! I?ve got some ideas. HMU.) This morning I was feelingsome of that Strange Brew. One of those extra frothy Quad Shot Cappuccinos that I love so much. The weather itself, so pleasant,that I found myself with a desire to squeeze in a ride as well. So how then may we enjoy said Strange Brew, fresh as made, fromthe comfort of our own studio. CORKSICKLE is the answer!! When presented with the challenge to fit a Cappuccino with ExtraFroth into so narrow of an opening, a most Beautiful Barista was happy to oblige in accepting such a task. And rather tasking,I could imagine, it must have been. For when I heard the angelic voice call out ?Matt,? followed with a ?I was able to get asmuch dry foam in there as I could,? I was presented with a perfectly poured Cappuccino, inside of yes, an insulated Corksicle.Thank you!! And yes, I was able to retain the foam as I made my way back to the South Side. Proof is in thepics. #SAVEtheBing #iLOVEtheBing #getfitbing #ExploreBinghamton #BikeTheBing Read more
