Brew coffee is the BEST. Every time we go there, we enjoy great coffee, pizzas and many beers to choose from. The service is great and atmosphere inviting. We Love Brew ❤

Coffee and owner are both 10/10! Thank you for making our group’s special orders perfectly. Best latte I’ve had in a long time!! Will come back next time and try out the food! Very friendly atmosphere and the owner is awesome. We will be back!

Great little place! We stopped in while walking around this cute little town. We enjoyed a couple cocktails and a hummus plate. Food was fresh and very good! Drinks were strong and also very good!

I had a pleasant Monday morning at The Brew. The staff was friendly, the environment very comfortable, and the food and tea was good. Thank you!

Stopped in for a quick bite in the morning for a Cinnamon Roll and coffee but want to come back for their beer and liquor offerings. I was impressed by the list for such a small place. Cinnamon Roll was ok. Coffee was great. I'll be back on my next trip down in a few weeks!

I think this place is great. On Saturday my friend and I met here to catch up and we spent 4 hrs had a great time. This place has a great atmosphere. Cathy is great very friendly. Gave us a sample of a drink. Love this place. I have lived here 32 yrs and only been here twice. Plan on coming back many times. Thank you.

Great views at the riverfront, cozy feels inside with plenty of card/board games, great outdoor covered seating w/ firepit, live music commonly, coffee, locally baked foods and a large selection of drinks/alcoholic beverages.

Nice, quite place to hang out and have a drink or some food. Beer, wine, full bar and food available (pizza, sandwiches, salads ect.) Masks required, outdoor patio seating and fire pit available, plastic & cash accepted for payment.

I love the feel of this place! The drive over from Salem is a lovely drive in the country! The manager, Rachel, is a lovely person, very welcoming and engaging! Great selection of beverages. Try this place...you'll be glad you did!🙂

Excellent place to have a good beer or cocktail or even your favorite cup of coffee. Great atmosphere and, it happens to be right at the entrance to the 4th of July celebration event.

Helpful staff when you need help deciding what to get. We were there for live music outside which was a cool little patio with more seating than you think.

Amazing Mac n Cheese. You can add your favorite beer to the cheese sauce! So yummy. Also really good hummus plate (which can be bad believe it or not), very fresh and delicious. Great beer selection and full bar. Relaxed atmosphere with old board games and brick walls. Definitely a new favorite spot.

Went here on my B-Day. The Barista made my Day! The atmosphere was comfortable and warm. Definitely added to places to visit when I am in town.

First time checking this place out and I can't believe I hadn't gone sooner! We felt right at home here- it was so cozy and the service was top notch! Can't wait to go back!

On a hot summer day when I'm not in the mood to drink, I like to drop by for a cold brew and chill in their shaded outdoor seating area. They've got some adirondack chairs that are (for me) prime seating. They also have a good selection of beer if you're looking for that.

The mac and cheese was amazing! Im a mac and cheese lover and this was the best mac and cheese that I've had this year. They are very dog friendly and the staff was super nice to my pup. They have a back patio over looking the water front park and my dog enjoyed dog watching while we ate

Such a great experience every time here. Currently here as Sadie is working and just so spectacular. Super kind and nice. Came and started the fire for us, asking us if we were good and okay. Just an absolute ray of sunshine.

Great spot to get your coffee fix! Beer, cider, wine, and a few cocktails will also tickle your fancy.

There's a variety of food options including light snacks near the counter.

Conveniently located near the waterfront park. Plenty of seating outside for numerous groups. Within ear shot to enjoy the various events which occur at the park.

The management is caring and kind; employees are treated well. They take the health and safety of their employees and customers very seriously.

I highly recommend!

First time coming to Brew and my server Vanessa was very kind and helpful tonight! She let me sample some cider and gave me the rundown on it since I have never had it before. It is my first time traveling to Oregon and it really helped to give a first impression. Will be back when i’m back in town!
