Brown Street Coffee

Brown Street Coffee is exactly what I love about the food scene in Fairmount. They have a great little coffee shop that would probably survive on its own. Then they add Bahn Mi because why not. They open at 7am and I am usually here around then to grab coffee before work.

For my own taste, I am not a huge fan of their coffee. I typically get a black drip dark roast and there is just something about that taste that I usually find off. Why do they get 5 Stars you ask? Their Bahn Mi, plain and simple. It is some of the best Bahn Mi I have had in the US and perfectly prepared on the right bread without too many ingredients.

At breakfast, you can even get egg sandwiches on their Bahn Mi buns - which is a real treat. They also have a pretty wide assortment of baked goods in the morning. There is something for everyone.

I'm not sure why I keep pay $5 for coffee I don't really like. Maybe it's convenience. Maybe it's the atmosphere. Maybe I like supporting a local small business. It's probably a healthy mix of all three. Regardless, I'll keep coming back and you should too!

This cute little coffee shop is conveniently located. The staff is very friendly and there is absolutely something for everyone. I know what everyone was thinking, ."There's never going to be enough parking in this area" I had no trouble at all. It was super convenient and the coffee was great. If you're looking for a local business you can support, as well as delicious coffee and a friendly staff, I'd recommend this place. We should always be willing to support small businesses

This was our first time trying out this coffee shop and it exceeded our expectations. Great customer service, delicious and well made breakfast sandwiches, excellent pricing for the value. We will definitely make this our new neighborhood coffee shop! Thanks to everyone there!

Today was our first time trying Brown Street Coffee and it was such an awesome experience. The staff members were so friendly and accommodating. The coffee was delicious and they had flavor combinations we had never seen before. The pastries were fresh and tasty and the prices were actually more reasonable than other small coffee shops in the area. 100% will be back!

Ive tried Brown Street Coffee so many times hoping to have a better experience. It's always crowded and I feel like I must be missing something, but I've never walked away too impressed. Over the past few years living nearby I've experienced rude staff frequently, slow service, and out of stock basic items (teas). Suggest going to Lucky Goat or Musette, each only a few blocks away, instead.

The Korean bbq Bahn Mi was amazing! Split between two people it was the perfect size for lunch. Also had on of their latte specials and it was so yummy

A go-to brunch stop for me. Get the traditional banh mi with an egg and like 2 orders of the hash browns and you'll be sitting pretty. The Vietnamese iced coffees also hit if the weather is warm!

Great corner coffee shop. Friendly staff and good food.

Great sandwiches. Delicious coffee. Best outdoor seating when it’s warm. Friendly service. Neighborhood favorite.

Omfg that sandwich was divine. Wanted to take off a star because no bathroom, no wifi, no indoor seating (due to covid so i get it). But couldn't because the service, sandwich, and coffee are exceptional. This place rocks.

Update: have been back 4 times. Tried 3 different sandwiches and one repeat. Every one as delicious as the last. 🚀🚀
