BREW Coffee Bar - McNeill Pointe — Restaurant in Raleigh

Man this place is special for a the small things baristas with great conversation and the barista’s have A1 music taste which contributes to the ambiance of the place. They also have a mug club where you bring your own mug B.y.o.m and every time you visit you can get coffee ☕️ n the mug that you brought which stays in the coffee shop after you bring. This promotes community in a social media era where community is vital. I had the cold brew with Mexican coke maaaaaaan!!! Let me tell you that bev(beverage for my educated folks) was shockingly good. I was mind blowned by the combination but the taste was worth the risk. I don’t give places 5 stars with one visit so when I go 7 times I will rank my bev’s and give you more insight as I build with this community and journey this menu. This is a place I really think you can make a favorite. If this place had a drive it might put some other shops out of bizness from my first two experiences. Second visit we had avocado toast … Yessss Lawd shot out to the chef and hop put that recipe together avacado toast tomatoes with mint lime juice simple but that mint is a game changer. So let that one change your...

My daughter had seen a post on Instagram about this coffee shop and she thought it might be a nice place to meet up when we were making plans with some friends.

We did not realize that it was quite as popular as it seems and unfortunately did not anticipate such a crowd. It's a small footprint.  Similar in size to the other very popular chain coffee shop but a bit more of a personal vibe with plants and decor. Overall a very relaxed space for work and or study. Everyone was using their laptop working around us and they did not seem to mind that we were having conversation.

The hot chocolate and banana oatmeal chocolate chip bar was tasty and neither was too sweet. My only other comment is that we did end up near the restroom and it wasn't very pleasant seeing our  friends struggle to scoot in, every time someone went to the bathroom. They could use more pastry/sweet options. I am not sure if it was because we arrived in the afternoon and there were none left. Overall a...

I just left this coffee shop and will never return due to a very unpleasant and unprofessional experience I witnessed involving one of the employees and customers with a service animal. An elderly couple with a service dog (who was wearing a full service vest and identification tag) entered and after they ordered, they were immediately asked to leave due to the dog being inside. I was under the impression that service animals are allowed in all public accommodations -including restaurants- so I was very surprised to see this happen. What was even more upsetting was the extremely rude and unprofessional manner of the employee speaking to the customers. Regardless of what this coffee shop’s policy is on service animals, the way the employee handled this situation was very unprofessional with a complete lack of empathy. I am very disappointed in the situation I witnessed today and will not...
