We needed breakfast early. Someone suggested Starbucks but we saw this on Google maps and decided to go here. It was way more amazing that Starbucks. On the outside it looks like a lame gas station but inside there is an attractive coffee shop. There is an amazing variety of food options. The empanada and breakfast sandwich were delicious and the people were very friendly.

I have had food from here when they were still on Toogoodtogo. Their food is amazing!! I wish I could order from here online for pickup or delivery just so I don't get panicked looking at the whole menu or trying to pronounce things.

10/5 Stars!
BB Roasters and Coffee Shop is truly one of the best hidden gems in the Long Branch area. The experience here is unlike any other! They ship in their own coffee beans, and you can actually watch them roast, grind, and brew the coffee right in front of you—it doesn’t get fresher than that. And the baked goods? Incredible! You can see the dough being made, the machinery at work, and everything is cooked fresh on-site. The taste reflects that level of care and quality.

The staff is super friendly and helpful, too. They’ll come right up to you and explain exactly what’s inside each bakery item, which adds a nice personal touch. If you haven’t been here yet, do yourself a favor and check it out—it’s a must-visit! If I could give it 10 stars out of 5, I absolutely would.

Hands down the best bakery around the Long Branch area. Huge variety of brazilian foods, with a team of coffee experts that deliver only the best products. Everything is made from scratch by their own bakers, and you can even see them working on the center of the store. They also have a grrat convenience service, with a huge speedy flow of customers in the mornings. Its a super nice place to go with your family for breakfast or lunch, the place is very clean and well maintained. I have never had a better Pao de Queijo

Vegetarian options: Great place for sweet tooth vegetarians, a huge selection of brazilian baked pastries and other sweets

I love this cafe because it offers its products such as empanadas, bagels, sandwiches and sandwiches prepared to your liking and above all the food they offer is fresh.
On the other hand, the place is clean and the people who serve are very friendly.

Parking: The parking lot is ample. There is also a gas station where you can fill up your car while you shop.

Kid-friendliness: It is a quiet place for the whole family.
