Black & Brew

I would absolutely recommend anyone to Black and Brew! Let me just start off my saying the PB frappe, phenomenal. The chimichurri bowl INCREDIBLE. I haven’t had one thing in B&B’s menu that I didn’t like. The customer service is always top tier. I would always go to the downtown location but I love that they opened a new location on the south side closer to home with new menu options!

What a beautiful spot. Such a great addition to the South Side of town. The employees are all so friendly. Their coffee is locally roasted by Patriot which is Veteran Owned. They offer a mix of their downtown and library menu items. This location doesn't have soup, but.....they have a great Nourish Bowl. 10/10! I've tried them both and my favorite is the Florida Bowl, it tastes so fresh. They also have a Express lane pickup as well. Parking lot fills up quick but it's a quick little walk from the Bowling Alley.

This location has a PRE-ORDER EXPRESS LANE. Which is absolutely fantastic! It definitely beats having to take your order over a com system and waiting in a super long line to order. The team at this location is fantastic! Everyone has their own unique, friendly personality. I like the homey, clean feel, and the outdoor seating is great. Their food is beyond amazing! Everything looks great and tastes even better. It has been super busy since it just opened, but the staff handle it very well. Definitely check this place out. Whether for work lunch, meeting up with a friend or family member, a coffee date, or even a time to do some work or study!

I tried the Chimichurri bowl at Black and Brew, Southside location. I absolutely loved every bit of it. I really enjoyed the marinated steak combined with the braised chick peas and Jasmine rice. This dish is a must try! Every bite is exploding with flavor!

I also tried a cold brew with pumpkin. No matter what Black and Brew I go to I gotta have my cold brew! The pumpkin is the perfect flavor for fall and goes great with the cold brew.

The atmosphere and decor is very impressive. The menu is similar to that of the Lake Morton library Cafe location, condensed but still offers the favorites. They just opened so the kitchen and staff are still trying to find their groove but still gave excellent service with warm smiles. I loved that the two single person bathrooms both had a changing table in them for parents of younger children.
