Brew Coffee & Tap House - Independence

Amazing service and my dirty chai latte was the best I’ve ever had in my life. Possibly the best caffeinated drink I’ve ever had. Will drive from Salem all the way back here just for it.

Just a great place to relax with coffee in a small town setting. Always friendly people and his quality food and coffee.

Nice, quite place to hang out and have a drink or some food. Beer, wine, full bar and food available (pizza, sandwiches, salads ect.) Masks required, outdoor patio seating and fire pit available, plastic & cash accepted for payment.

Server/food prep worker didn’t wear a mask - she states her boss doesn’t either - despite that there is signage near the front door with the Oregon State Mandate. She started to share with me the efficacy of mask wearing and social distancing. I paid for my food but left it - I’m surprised that a business would practice recklessness in a pandemic in a county with growing infection rates. Cute holiday decorations?

In short, decent food, definitely overpriced but not by much, good atmosphere. It's probably one of the best places in town, considering the size of the town.

I don't know who copied who, but the logo is literally the same as Bend, Oregon's logo. Just saying.

Service here was friendly. I stayed for a long time in the early to mid afternoon working on my laptop, and only 3 or 4 other people came in, so it's not very busy I'm the middle of the day.

The decor is classic rustic hipster taphouse, not bad. There is a nice wall of windows that give a lot of great natural light, and the location is close to the riverfront park.

The Brew proved to be a disheartening customer service experience and am hoping to see my full refund. I even tried to reach out to management without a return call this morning. Please do not expect to be treated with any haste or courtesy here. It may indeed be a great place to work though as employees are not seemingly tasked with customer service solutions, stocking products or to act with any expedition…. A lovely location and great view though. But kindness or customer experience ….. not present. However, Humiliated customers and no staff accountability, we’re prevalent. A really terrible experience that had me upset all morning at how I was treated- thinking some poor local business owner is unaware. But it may just be their customer service model here and that’s really unfortunate for the community.

The atmosphere here is so relaxing. My favorite place to grab a coffee and just sit and enjoy a game or write in my journal.

On a hot summer day when I'm not in the mood to drink, I like to drop by for a cold brew and chill in their shaded outdoor seating area. They've got some adirondack chairs that are (for me) prime seating. They also have a good selection of beer if you're looking for that.

Great local bar. Tasty food, despite a limited menu later in the evening. I had a calzone.

Amazing Mac n Cheese. You can add your favorite beer to the cheese sauce! So yummy. Also really good hummus plate (which can be bad believe it or not), very fresh and delicious. Great beer selection and full bar. Relaxed atmosphere with old board games and brick walls. Definitely a new favorite spot.
