Strange Brew Cafe

Today was just my second day at Strange Brew on Washington Street, Binghamton, NY … and the Barista, Sasha knew my order from yesterday … that was really amazing to me … one of the owners, Alex made my 5oz Espresso with Steamed Whole Milk in a 16oz cup … it was perfect … just like yesterday … the Chocolate Croissant was really good too … I highly recommend this delightful cafe … I will be a regular here since I charge my Jeep next door … LIVE LOVE LAUGH & EAT ALWAYS … 💙🇮🇱💙

My husband and I were very happy to find this restaurant with vegan options on our travels. I love that they have multiple vegan scramble options. My husband got the cheesy tofu scramble and added avocado. I got the mushroom tofu scramble and added jalapeños. Everything was hot, tasty and well prepared. The immunity juice is really nice as well.

Everything about this place is amazing. From the vibe, the food, kind staff, and great coffee. I went here for lunch for the first time and was blown away by how good the food was! I got their Pulled Chicken pressed sandwich on their asiago house bread with Chicken Corn Chowder. WOW, absolutely fantastic, seriously best sandwich I've had in the area, and the soup was incredible. I also got an Iced Latte which was great! I'll definitely be back, especially for their delicious looking breakfast!!!

Nice shop, perfect for work! I got their mocha and Java chip frappes when I went. Both were amazing, but I prefer the mocha. . . The staff was also so welcoming 10/10 recommend!

Best breakfast place in Binghamton hands down.
The egg sandwich was delicious. Coffee will perk you up.
The servers were so nice.

First time going! Ordered an $11 Max and cheese grilled cheese it was worth every penny!! Clean and lots of items to choose from! Will definitely be returning!! The coffee was good too!

Tofu scramble and breakfast potatoes are out of this world!! Also enjoyed the raspberry green tea. Generous portions—my dish easily makes two meals. So good!

So happy I popped in! I had the garden sandwich for breakfast and it was amazing! Highly recommended!

First time here and is my new favorite spot. The coffee the food the people omg everything was perfect. And is owned by a friend of a friend love supporting our local business..

Bright spot, upbeat music, relaxed atmosphere, fast service, friendly staff. The crimini mushroom omelette was served quickly and was large and delicious.

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 plan for that.

I don't know why it's taken me this long to come here. Parking may be challenging all depending on the time of day. But there is lots to see and do downtown along the way. The staff get you with a smile. The menu is for everyone. The price, quality of freshness in the food and the amount given I hope no one complains. Grab a seat, enjoy the music, show down for a bit. Or take your food outside and enjoy the fresh air. Plenty of options.

The coffee is good, but the Kickin Chicken is one of the best spicy sandwiches I've ever had!

Loved the vibe, coffee, and food at this lovely café. It was a cold morning and the space was warm and sunny when we walked in. Plenty of tables to sit and chat together without it being too loud to do so.

They made a nice latte and the coffee was good too. I had a bacon, egg, cheese croissant and it was a good sized sandwich and very well made.

Will definitely enjoy more time there in the future.

Has great food, coffee, tea, and other drinks. I do pickup orders a few times a month and haven't been disappointed yet. Though there's usually a decent wait time depending on the time of day.

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 the Downtown Binghamton area.
(Please open one on the South Side. BEST SIDE!! I’ve got some ideas. HMU.)

This morning I was feeling some 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, from the comfort of our own studio. CORKSICKLE is the answer!!

When presented with the challenge to fit a Cappuccino with Extra Froth 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 as much 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 the pics.

I loved the fact they had vegetarian and vegan options for my parents, the wait staff was very nice, it was a cute little cafe, very cozy and homey feeling. Stoped here on a day trip to the city checking out cars, very good food, beautiful plating and friendly staff!

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 exceedingly convenient. They also have wi-fi and apparently they allow people to study there. Seating is highly limited so get there early or be fast when a seat opens.

Highly recommend Strange Brew! I've been going here for years and it's never disappointed. The food and drinks are delicious, and the staff is always incredibly kind.

Stopped by here on a drive to Buffalo and can confirm that it's the best coffee I've had in a long time. They unfortunately don't sell beans and I'd say that's the only shortcoming.
