We haven't been here in months and decided to grab breakfast. While I understand that it's busy in the AM, we waited over 20 minutes for our burrito. Our coffees are never a miss but the burrito lacked chorizo and egg took up the majority.

Brewja coffee and pastries is a hidden gem that I stumbled upon recently, and I must say, I was blown away by the quality of their offerings. The coffee was rich and flavorful, with a perfect balance of acidity and boldness. The pastries were baked to perfection, flaky on the outside and soft on the inside. The atmosphere at Brewja was cozy and inviting, making it the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a delicious treat. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, adding to the overall enjoyable experience. I highly recommend Brewja for anyone in search of a fantastic coffee and pastry destination.

Osea, cannot NOT love the name and the vibe. Brewja's is a women-owned, Latinx-owned coffee shop that delivers on the quality and whimsy you would expect from a place called Brewja (pronounced, bruh-hah, as in bruja, which in Spanish means witch). The coffee is good, especially if you like super sweet drinks. They have lots of pastries, including adorable (and tasty) conchas which come in a variety of enchanting colors. The vibe is fun, whimsical. They even have swings inside the shop!Service is straight-forward. They seem friendly but not too friendly. Parking lot is small for all the shops around, but usually there's a spot that opens quickly.

I heard about this from one of my co-workers and has it's been one of my favorite local spots since. The staff is amazing and their food is delicious!

This family business has the best espresso in the Bay Area. Visiting the Brewja locations when in the Bay Area is mandatory when staying with our daughter in Oakland.

3.75/5On my way up to the East Bay and wanted to make a pit stop and check this place out. Drove up and made a couple circles as the small shared parking lot offers limited parking for all the business in that center. I found a spot parked and went in. There was someone ahead of me so it gave me a chance to check out the menu while I waited and admire the space. I love signature drinks but I asked the cashier for her recommendations on top sellers. I decided to go for the Creme brûlée latte less sweet and a vegan muffin. I asked to use their restroom after an over 50 minute drive up and the cashier said it was broken which was a huge disappointment. I sat and waited about 15 minutes for my drink. I really expected a Creme brûlée topping on the top of the coffee cup that I could crack open with a spoon but it was just in the middle of the coffee. The coffee itself was fine. Nothing out of the ordinary or memorable enough to return. The vegan muffin had a hard granola topping but the muffin itself was moist and full of raisins. Tasted like a carrot cake muffin without the frosting.The interior is spacious and comfy. It's decorated nicely. Looks like they sell their own merchandise and you can find other local small businesses items on their walls. Plenty of seats inside and can accommodate groups of 4. The service was very transactional. One persons is making all the drinks so it did take a while till I got mine. Before I left I asked the barista for any local spots that would have a bathroom I could use and she said maybe the market across the street.
This is one of my go to spots for coffee, they send me a free code for coffee on my birthday month every year which is exciting. They have a good variety of delicious pastries. If you want something different than your ordinary vanilla oat latte, try a horchata iced coffee or a dulce de leche latte.

Had the spinach and feta pastry, and it was delicious. Also had the cold brew pumpkin cream coffee and it was amazing. Go to this local coffee shop and support them. The customer service was great.

Disappointed with my purchase this morning. My concha was obviously not fresh. I don't mind paying the prices and supporting small business, but I want to ultimately enjoy what I pay for.
