Sara's full firsthand review

Roast and Brew is such a stellar coffee shop! I love the open air seating and feeling of this cafe. There is an ample amount of natural light and windows inside of the cafe. Plentiful seating and tables around with electricity outlets. Aside from indoor seating, they have outdoor seating as well; located at the front patio. This cafe is great for socializing and getting together with friends or family. It's a nice spot to study/read in the morning or afternoon as well. They play tasteful ambient music and it's never loud or noisy. Roast and Brew truly defines the meaning of a cool coffee house that is unpretentious. They've got a great selection of drinks, Greek pastries and food. I have tried their teas and coffee, as well as the blueberry muffin. The muffin was tender and fresh. Slightly sweet. Paired well with the strong Americano coffee. They have a nice array of chocolates as well for purchase. Many of them being of Greek origin. (Some of my favorite!) Warm and attentive staff that takes care of your needs. They recently changed their shop hours to midnight. I love their hours and the comfortable vibes here. You never feel like you're in a rush. Furthermore, I will continue to support this local coffee shop whenever I'm in the area!
