The House Blend black coffee is hands down the best cup of coffee Ive ever had. Its the only reason why I go there. However... whenever I walk in I feel like I just walked in on a family birthday party I wasnt invited to. There seems to be a certain group of people that feel welcomed like family, but as an outsider I walk in and almost get a, "why are you here" look. Its like an old western where an out-of-towner walks in through the double doors of a bar and the piano man stops his music and everyone turns and stares. I love that this is a family owned business that adds to the neighborhood, but a little smile and lesson in hospitality would go a long way. Ill keep going there because of the glorious coffee and products they serve, but If Im looking for a welcomed feeling and a smile Ill head down the street to McDonalds.

I visited this location on 12/23/2026 at about 9 ish. First time even though its right by my house. Fabulous young lady asked what she could get for me, I responded give something good in a size large and surprise me. I received one of the best Mochas I have ever tasted. I hope she remembers me because I dont know what Mocha was made. I gave it 4 stars only because they dont open until 7am and I work in St Paul at 7:30, cutting it too close. Add another 1/2 hour earlier and it would have been 5 stars and then some!

This is such a gem of a place!! We recently moved to New Brighton and I was thrilled to find Bru House. They are fantastic and have delicious coffee and food. I have tried the white mocha, iced and hot- both amazing, and I also tried their egg frittata muffin, which was scrumptious. I highly highly recommend this place. They have always been friendly and welcoming and I just love supporting a local family-owned business.

The owner is a horrible person... She asks us to move as soon as we get settled with our work and using our computers. Then she asks us to go to the bar. Hell with this place. The last time I was here, I paid for a coffee and a hot chocolate. I get the coffee, I am standing their while no one realizes 15 minutes later they forgot the hot chocolate. I just walk out. Horrible place. And they are definelty racists!

My favorite coffee shop, bar none: great coffee, good food (soup-and-sandwich fare, well prepared). The decor is clean and comfortable, and the staff is pleasant and friendly. The Saturday morning regulars can get a bit noisy; but otherwise, its a great place to relax and read for an hour or two... or just grab a cup for the road....

Love it, owners are very friendly and always make you feel very welcome. They love kids and encourage you to bring kids there, noise of a child does not bother them, instead they would come up and start conversation with a child. All employees are the same as owners, very nice and friendly. Highly recommend this coffee shop

I live in the Tampa Bay area but grew up in MV. I get back to the cities 3-4 times a year and The Bru House is a Mandatory stop. Food is AWESOME!! Coffee is Awesome!! Lynn and the staff are even more AWESOME!! Do yourself a favor and experience The Bru House. It will become a Mandatory stop for you as well.

I have a very specific espresso drink that I order. This was my first time here and I will be back many more. They made my drink perfectly! I mean absolutely perfect! It was very smooth; not burnt or bitter. Plus their customer service was great. Theyre very friendly and quick!

The coffee at Bru House is amazing, but the service and staff...NOT so much. I have never once been greeted with a smile or been treated as if they want my business, which is a shame: I love coffee, but want to spend my hard-earned money where I feel welcomed.

Just stopped by after getting my hair cut at Trinity Hair Salon and the gals there were so helpful with recommendations. I got the black ice tea with lavender and loved it! The veggie wrap was good to. I will definitely visit again.

The Bru House is the best place to get coffee. All of the staff is VERY friendly, curteous, and ALWAYS greeting with a smile. The Bru House is the perfect place to go for a sandwich and soup and of course coffee.

Best place to work away from the office. Just the right amount of bustle and calm. Never too loud, never too quiet. Great place to meet friends. And best of all, amazing service and coffee!

Owning a coffee shop myself makes me pretty critical. The Bru does quite well. Their espresso is quite dark but fresh. Service is professional and friendly. Sandwiches were very good.

Ok coffee...no raw sugar, just white processed. Oh, and clueless "barista". Too bad, to compete I would think neighborhood coffee stores would need. To do the little things right.

Nice little coffee shop. They have a unisex bathroom but no changing table for babies. That would really help moms out. Other than that the coffee and food is always delicious!

Everyone loves it when a small family owned business provides outstanding service and great products. This rubs off on the rest of the staff, and they are always great.

The BEST spot for coffee in the Twin Cities. I will not go anywhere else. I drive 10 miles each way just to get a cup of coffee. Try the Iced Mocha!!!
