Fine Brewed

OK where to begin. This place is the best coffee place in the northwest!!! These women are always so nice and they make the best coffee ever!!! I love the décor and always feel so comfortable there. the owner I forget her name but she is so young but knows how to run a dang good establishment.

Stopped in for a fresh juice while staying at the CDA resort. Nice service, fresh juice, clean and inviting.

I’m being generous because our drinks were delicious and not too expensive. The location is convenient for grabbing a quick coffee while perusing the shops downtown.
The reason I subtracted one star is because the staff were not very friendly. When we approached the counter the first woman just looked at us waiting to take our order. No «hello, how are you today» — just a blank stare. When our drinks were ready the other gal didn’t call out to us or even say anything. We had to watch for the drinks to be delivered and hope they were for us.
As were leaving I said, «thanks, have a great day.» The gal that took our order replied, «you too» and that was it.
I would try it again. Maybe we stopped in before the staff were fully caffeinated.

I love, love, love the Hibiscus Lavender Iced Tea! My husband and I, go out to breakfast every weekend and then we pop over to Fine Brewed, where we each get an iced tea, before walking around downtown.
The space itself, is quite large and airy, with fresh and contemporary décor. And it is in the perfect location, right in the mix of everything. I have never been here at night, but they offer more than just breakfast beverages (they have wine and some beers on tap) and I have heard they have live music on the weekends, which I would like to check out.
Why only three stars? On two occasions, my husband and I popped in here, around 7:30am on a week day, hoping to enjoy a coffee and a breakfast sandwich, before he went to work (I can’t remember what days of the week they were, just that it was a week day). On both occasions actually, there were only two other patrons in the store, that appeared to be waiting for their orders and both times, we stood at the counter and waited for someone to come to the cash register to take our order, for several minutes. We could see one person in the food prep area, making something. After standing there, for several minutes (both times) and realizing that there was only one person working, we turned around and left, going over to Bakery by the Lake (which I don’t even like that much), where we knew that we could at least get coffee and breakfast sandwiches, in a timely manner. Even if a slow morning is anticipated, I think it’s pretty important to have at least two people on staff, in the event that more than one person at a time, comes in before work and has limited time. We didn’t pipe up and announce our presence either time, because we could tell it was going to take much longer to get a couple of breakfast sandwiches and coffee, than we were willing to wait, on a week day. I guess my biggest critique would be that they need to have at least two people on staff at all times; I would absolutely give four stars if this were the case.
So, while I don’t think we will be counting Fine Brewed as one of our week day go-to’s (which we do about twice a week with about a 30 minute window), as it stands… we will definitely continue to pop in here for that lip smacking iced tea on the weekends and maybe to have a cocktail and listen to some live music!
