Love this place! Breakfast burritos are awesome! & they serve Peets Cofffee! A lil pricey though.
Brunswick cafes are now a full 0/2 in my book. Valentina seems to be a very friendly woman, but today I had an interaction that... will garuantee I never go near her business again. She offers free coffee and a cup of beans in the morning and I'm withoutfunds at the moment and it's a short walk from the shelter I stay at. The first interaction that seemed unnecessary is that sherequested I'd take the coffee to go because other homeless individuals complained that I could stay, she cited I lookedpresentable enough to not notice I was homeless. Ok, not an issue really because I was getting free coffee all the same. Todayhowever was an unwarranted offense and as a temporarily houseless individual, feel the need to address a considerable disrespectthat I not only didn't deserve, but was not even aware I committed. Apparently, a woman sitting near me, said I looked at her,several times. That was the complaint. I was lost in thought working on a writing project, I have no recollection of thiswoman at all, or even looking or glancing at her a single time. Valentina presented this complaint well after the woman hadleft I assume, I couldn't tell you if she was young, old, white, black or the color of her hair or a single item of clothingthat she wore. I'm thoroughly convinced I did not look at the woman a single time as I have absolutely zero recollection ofwhere she even sat. In short, a seemingly nice gesture to allow persons finiacially challenged to get a free cup of coffee inthe morning, huge waste of time if you are in turn going to make wildly false accusations towards the recipient and disrespectthe person in a way that deserves no merit. Shame on her and no I will never be coming back here for any reason, not even 2$dollars worth of free coffee. Read more
I finally find a real bakery in the area, that has hours of Monday through Saturday, 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. And when I arrived... there at 10:00 a.m. on any Thursday morning, I find out that they are not open. No reason given as to why they weren'topen. There's a big sign on the window that says "We're open" and the hours of operation are listed on the door, yet they arenot open. Tried calling to see if there was call in only, as their website indicates you can do, and no one answered thephone. There was no one inside, and doors were locked. Read more
I would say 6?? out of 5! Very nice place, super nice stuff, Valentina is wonderful person! We get delicious lunch and a lot of... positive!!! Now this is definitely my favorite cafe it that area! Read more
Valentina is high energy, friendly and super talkative. Service is painfully slow due to a completely inefficient work force.... The main reason Valentina talks so much is to buy time for the slow service. We were going to get food but didn?t have all dayto wait so only got coffee. Read more
Good selection of sandwiches, burritos, salads, burgers, and breakfast stuff. A lot of veggie and non-gmo stuff, if you're in... to that. However, the sandwiches are expensive for the small amount of meat you get, and when I ordered the pastrami withsaurkraut (#12) I discovered after I got home it had been made with turkey, which was not a good mix. I'll assume it was amistake, but it does not make me want to return. There are better options around. Read more
The staff here is always friendly and inviting. They have the best flaky turnovers and giant breakfast burritos, as well as... self-serve coffee and espresso. Read more
