This coffee was amazing! I kept it simple and really just got an iced coffee with my oat milk but when I tell you that was the smoothest, most flavorful coffee ever, I’m not lying! My girlfriend her family loved their selections, so we are happy and satisfied customers coming back for me when back in town again.

A Warm, Coffee-Scented Escape This small, family-owned cafe is a hidden gem for coffee lovers. The moment you walk in, you’re wrapped in the comforting aroma of fresh brews and baked goods straight from the oven. The coffee is rich, smooth, and clearly made with care—no shortcuts here. Though the menu is simple, the baked goods are amazing—think buttery scones, warm muffins, and pastries that smell as good as they taste. It’s the kind of spot that invites you to slow down and stay awhile. Cozy, welcoming, and full of charm—this cafe is everything a neighborhood coffee shop should be.

I love local coffee shops, and this is one of the best around! The owner is kind. Their cookie butter latte is amazing! I also love the spinach and feta pastry. Great place to work remote and send emails from as well!

Growing up in south Jersey, we didn't have much in the way of solid cafes. Cafe Bru is awesome. Good food, good coffee, friendly staff, and reliable wifi. I worked remotely here all week without issue. If I still lived in the area, this would be my regular go-to spot. I spent $20-30 per day because I ordered multiple coffees and sandwiches/pastries as I sat in the shop for 4-5 hours a time.

Absolutely love this place. My wife and I have tried over 10 coffee shops in the area and we consistently feel this place is the best. The staff and especially the owner are so friendly and kind. Their coffee is legitimately as a good as some of the places we had when we visited Seattle. Their food and pastry’s are also incredible. We make it a habit to come here as a often as we can afford because we love the experience so much

This place is the cutest little hidden gem. If you weren’t looking for it, you’d drive right by it. I almost hope you do! More for me. The in house fresh baked pastries were amazing. Warm and crisp and perfect. The coffee was equally delicious. The design gave me modern a little generic Starbucks feel but the music was not to loud, not to low and the perfect tempo to work to and still be able to have a conversation without shouting. The place was clean and service friendly. Would have begged for a comfy chair or longe and I might not have left.

I was impressed by how fresh everything was! I even saw them baking the croissants in the morning, and they were terrific. The guava and cheese pastries are a must-try; they are so delicious and flaky. I also had one of their breakfast sandwiches, which was equally satisfying. Great food and a friendly vibe. I highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area!

I recently visited Cafe Bru and it was such a great experience. The food is absolutely amazing everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and made with care. And the coffee? Even better. Perfectly brewed, rich, and exactly what you want whether you’re starting your morning or catching up with friends. What really makes it special is the atmosphere. It’s the perfect spot to relax, laugh, and enjoy quality time with your favorite people. Great food, incredible coffee, and even better company it doesn’t get much better than that. I also love that they offer catering for events, which makes them an even more versatile gem. Whether you’re stopping in for breakfast or planning something special, Cafe Bru definitely delivers. Highly recommend! ☕✨

Cafe Bru has become our number one coffee spot in Northfield for so many reasons. The owner is truly one of the kindest and most loving people you’ll meet he greets us like family, remembers our order, and makes us feel so welcome every time we walk in. The café is always spotless, cozy, and friendly, which makes it the perfect place to relax and enjoy a cup of coffee. Even though I try to make coffee at home, whenever I need a pick-me-up, this is my go-to without question. I also love that they offer dairy-free and sugar-free options, which shows they care about all their customers’ needs. My family and I absolutely love this place highly recommend! ☕💛 side note: try the tomato olive croissant warmed up and the cafe havanna AMAZING!
