Cute local coffee shop. I got a cortado with coconut milk, my wife got the special "Witch's Brew", and our daughter got the iced chai latte. My wife and I loved ours, but our daughter said her chai tasted weird. I didn't know until later when she threw it away already, so I can't comment on what happened there. We'll be back when we get back in town.

I LOVE strange brew!! The baristas are always the best. The barista with dark curly hair and the barista with blue hair are truly the sweetest people ever and always make me feel so welcome every time I come! They have the best drinks and food. I always leave feeling so happy :) definitely check them out!!

Food took forever as usual, the girl with the blue hair didn’t smile once at me, gave me dirty looks and then put my food on the corner of the table instead of handing it to me and said nothing …..then handed another customer her food and made sure to say “have a good day” to her but not me ….it was weird but food is always so good but the girl with the blue hair seemed to not like me

The baristas were so sweet & kind. I had a cappuccino & hubby had a latte, they were made to perfection. A delivery of baked goods came in while we were sitting in the cafe, we had a blueberry scone & chocolate chip cookie - they were so fresh & absolutely delicious ? The vine is chill and welcoming. I highly recommend!!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free items available.

Y’all in the reviews gotta be lying or you let the atmosphere dominate ur opinion about the place. Specifically the COFFEE but I’ll get to that later. Atmosphere is fine it’s ur typical semi-hip cafe. A little lower end imo but it’s a small business so I get it. Food is fine. It’s pretty hard to mess up toast so I don’t got much to say besides some of their smoothie bowl bases are bland and too icy. Now… the coffee. Just to clarify, I enjoy coffee a lot. I consider myself decently skilled at making a good espresso shot or pour over coffee. I’d definitely say it’s one of my passion or hobby at least. Strangebrews coffee has to be in my top worst coffee I’ve had other than ashbary, generally starbucks, or dunkin. I really enjoy coffee and espresso, so when I ordered a basic iced latte with whole milk and a tiny amount it sweetener I was genuinely baffled by what I got. My friend laughed at it too lol. Strangebrews coffee is consistently bad so I genuinely think the espresso in general sucks and it just wasn’t a bad day. I’ve never had a latte with WHOLE MILK, look like an Americano. It tasted like watered down coffee. It was almost like they reused an old espresso shot or something because of how it basically tasted like water. And it was my order I didn’t accidentally grab another but I was just shocked at how the coffee tasted like nothing ? there are so many coffee places nearby that have decently quality coffee/espresso. Strangebrew really needs to catch up on it because they’re lagging. I don’t go there anymore cause I think the coffee is bad. If I’m buying a 6 dollar coffee, I want it to taste good lol. Fun to chill in with friends though I guess. Smoothies are good. Customer service is nothing impressive. I’m not just hating on the business and stuff, I’ve been going/knew about strangebrew for over 5 years lol. It wasn’t until I started developing a taste for coffee that I realized “yeah… this is not it”.

Should be called delayed brew…. Ordered 2 iced lattes and took 15 mins for a below average latte. Not worth wait.If I was there to hang out I wouldn’t mind but come on? It wasn’t even that busy. Also the girl making the drinks had blue hands for some reason.

Banana bread is the only reason I'm not giving this place 1 star. Coffee was muddy tasting, and avocado toast was so salty my face was swelling up.

Raquel Rivera

Spacious coffee shop. Friendly workers. Great place to quick back and relax. Ongoing music. Definitely want to try more items on the menu but wasnt a fan of the avocado toast.

I hadn't visited in a while, but I stopped in this morning for a smoothie because I had a $5 coupon. The employee was dismissive and rude, and basically groaned when I placed my order and showed my coupon. Also, I was given an old, melted smoothie that was left on the counter behind them. Nobody made me anything fresh or new. I will never come here again.

Love this place! Their smoothies and lattes are great. The owner Matt and his team are extremely kind and welcoming. Kid friendly, games to play, and plenty of space to work. Highly recommend!

Cute and comfortable. Coffee drinks are done correctly. Nice vibe just walking in the door.

Their coffee is delicious. It's the perfect blend of coffee, flavoring and oatmilk. I don't like mine overly sweet or bitter coffee, so this was excellent. I actually got one in the morning and got another one in the afternoon through DoorDash. So good!
