Brū Coffeebar

Hello, coffee lovers!

So this coffee shop is my all time personal favorite- but I'm a little biased. See, Brū Coffeebar in Los Feliz is my mom's shop. In 2011, she created Brū Coffeebar, an independent artisanal coffee shop. Anyway, I decided to stop by Brū and share with you what I love about it.

1. The Neighborhood

The Los Feliz area is an artsy location filled with art, thrift shops, and cafes. One of my favorite things to do in the Los Feliz area is to grab a cup of coffee from Brū, go to Skylight Books (the local beautiful bookstore), thrift shop, take what I would like to call "artsy" pictures, and people watch. Over the many times that I have gone to Brū, I always see a celebrity like Kristen Stewart or Laura Prepon. Who knows- maybe you'll spot Chiara Ferrangi who is always in the Silverlake area.

2. The Art

Hung all around Brū are pieces of art created by local artists. Every couple of months or so, Brū finds a new artist to feature in the shop.

3. The Drinks and Pastries

Brū has some pretty unique drinks from their Lavender Lemonade Sparkler to Iced Arancio to Dirty Root Beer Float. My all time favorites are the coconut green tea and ginger latte. Don't even get me started on their pastries. The brownie is my favorite- it's decadent and choclately- need I say more. Brū offers a variety of pastries from their Actions Cookies to their Sugarbloom pastries delivered daily.

4. The COFFEE (the most important thing)

So, the real reason why we are all here- the coffee. Brū gets its coffee from a roasting company located in San Fransisco called Ritual. Brū has an assortment of coffees from all around the world that they offer. The coffee offering changes weekly at Brū; one week they will offer a coffee from Kenya and the next they will offer coffee from Costa Rica. If you are not a coffee person that's perfectly fine because Brū has many teas to share including a variety of green teas, naturally decaffeinated rooibos teas, and wellness teas.

Every Friday Brū has a free cupping where you can try coffees from all around the world that each have a distinct taste. Brū also offers classes on how to brew better coffee at home every Thursday at noon. In this class, the baristas of Brū teach you how to use the Chemex, the pour-over method, and many more techniques on how to improve your coffee.

Overall, Brū is the perfect place to grab a cup of coffee on your way to work, chat with an old friend, or start writing that book that you've always wanted to write.

So basically what I am saying is stop whatever you are doing at this very moment, get in your car, and go to Brū Coffeebar and get a cup of yummy in your tummy coffee- Got it?

See you later- going to drink more coffee at Brū :)
