Roast & Brew

1. Had a delicious hot Vanilla Latte. It’s a cozy place, with a great selection of drinks and food. Was my first time here, but I’ll definitely be back. I enjoyed reading my book here too. Don’t judge me…didn’t realize it was a Romantasy until I was knee deep into the first book. 🥹

2. Cool coffee spot with humorous/stylish design elements. Heavy Europe-Themed elements too. Coffee and the cake were delicious. Great spot to study or work. And plus points for allowing dogs!

3. I stopped by to get the cold brew. It’s decently good. Not bitter. Has a sweet taste to it. I noticed a lot of people in the cafe were studying or on their laptops. Chill quiet atmosphere with cool designs and picture frames along the wall.

4. We finally made the stop after wanting to try this place out for a few months (more on this later).

   It was a Monday midday and it was busy, however, service was quick.

   The area has some construction going on (as of this review, not sure when it will complete) and the entrance is halfway cordoned off. There’s limited parking within the restaurant and it appears people park by the road.

   Although we went during lunch hour we mainly got breakfast food. Very satisfied with our meals. Everything had good seasoning and food was warm. Potatoes were crispy and our lattes were wonderful.

   Pricing can get a bit on the high side if you start adding on ingredients to your meals (obviously). Plan to spend $25 per person if you’re going in hungry. If you’re just sitting down for some coffee and pastry expect to spend around $10-15. That being said portions were relatively big (for my standard) so if you wanted to share you’d be fine.

   Inside, there’s not a whole lot of seating available (some available outside) and this led us to coming here 2-3 times prior but having to leave because we couldn’t find sitting for our party of 5-7. If you’re a small group 1-4 you shouldn’t have a problem.

   The cafe seems to be popular with students so it seems to always be busy and therefore the sitting issue mentioned above.

   My only two small gripes, and these are very just personal, I wish the inside had better lightning (seems very dim) and for my omelet, they don’t mix the ingredients with the eggs. They sort of put the ingredients inside the omelet and fold it which means as you’re eating it you sort of have to battle with your fork to get a bit of everything (again this is just me being picky and wishing the extra toppings were mixed in with the eggs).

   Overall we’re satisfied we got to try it out. We’re about a 45 minute drive away so unlikely we’ll go often however if we’re in the area we wouldn’t hesitate to make the stop.

   There’s nothing objectively bad that would deter me from going back.

5. This was my second time attending Roast & Brew for a co-working date. My first time I mainly worked outside but today I sat inside and had a latte and dinner. Everything was delicious as you can tell by my pictures of half-consumed items. If you need to take a call, I found the volume of the music was lower outside. My only complaint would be that there were not enough outlets when I first arrived. Also, be warned, the owner does not allow any outside food or drinks. I showed up with a smoothie from earlier in the day and nervously sat outside to finish it.
