Brewskis Coffee & Bar — Restaurant in Bloomsburg

Brewski's is a good spot, the interior is designed in a cool way to be very welcoming, with a mixture of tables, couches, and bar seating for patrons to choose from. My last few visits, I was delighted to find New Trail Crisp Lager on tap, one of my all time favorite beers, produced in nearby Williamsport. Open mic night on Wednesdays showcases local musical talent, shout out to MC Kat. They also do the dueling booze and coffee all day, so you could grab a cappuccino at 9pm to blast through that last cram session. The food they have available there is delicious, I had a BLT with avocado (pictured) and the pierogies come highly recommended as well. There is even a mythical basement bar with bowling and other diversions, which is only open on weekends, and therefore I have never seen due to my work schedule.

This brings me to my only gripe about Brewski's. "If food, service, and atmosphere are all 5 stars, then why have you given an overall rating of 4?" you may rightfully ask. It is the hours, my friends. Brewski's closes at 10pm on the weekdays, and I believe midnight on the weekends. Breaks my service industry heart. I just can't make it in time. It's such a cool place, I wish so much that it were open later. You would see me in there all the...

I have been to Brewskis a few times now. Unfortunately, it is the only coffee shop open later in the evening in town. They have a great system for ordering when you come in. You can order through your phone and someone comes and brings the items to your table. My only issue is that nothing else is given to you when you place the order. Therefore, when you need anything like sugar or cream, you need to go to he bar to ask for it. My biggest issue is the sugar. Every time we go there, it seems as if the sugar is rationed. Coming from an extensive customer service and food service background, I find this absurd. Last time we were there, we ordered two coffees. We received two packs of sugar with our order. Two packs! When I went to ask the bar to ask for some more, obviously I had to wait as the bartenders our busy serving the people sitting at the bar. Again, I was given packs of sugar. I find this absolutely ridiculous. This in itself has forced us to go to a chain coffee shop as opposed to supporting a small locals business. The first couple of times we assumed it was a fluke or perhaps they were short, but sadly it is the same issue every time...

Let me start off with the bad: Please, please, pleaseeee make the plate for your avocado toast bigger! I cut the my meal with the provided fork and butter knife and I had pieces falling off the plate and all over the outdoor table.

The good: The avocado toast was delish. I ordered it with the fried egg on top—the egg was cooked to perfection. I asked for a slice or two of bacon chopped up and put on top as well but I was informed the kitchen wouldn’t like that request so I had to order the bacon a la carte and break it up and put it on my meal myself. That didn’t sit right with me, but it’s fine. The meal was great. The coffee was yummy and the service was good. Also, the atmosphere was cool. I love a bar/eatery with a sense of individuality and character.

Would recommend this place to a friend, for sure....
