BRU 64

This place is off to a great start. I love the «coffee house– pour house» sign in the window. The modern design is a great addition to Cortland’s Main St. line up. Very eclectic group of employees; still trying to get the reigns but doing a wonderful job. They have a great selection of coffee drinks (I think they’re serving CoffeeMania… Not 100% positive though), small bites, and beer, both on draft and bottles/​cans. I really hope this place makes a go of it; I see it becoming a regular spot for me during my last semester of school!

Went for the first time before my semester at SUNY Cortland ended. The coffee was spot on and let’s talk about the skillet of Mac and cheese. I’m obsessed with spiral noodles, so I was super excited. All the different cheeses gives the Mac and cheese the best taste. I tell everyone about it. They have other food options and their desserts looked amazing. If I hadn’t filled up on the Mac and cheese I would have gotten one of each. Definitely a great place for Cortland. Super cool interior as well. Go check it out!

I no longer live in Cortland, but I come back home to visit my family often. I used to enjoy going to Blue Frog Café, the prior coffee shop at 64 Main Street, and I was sad when it left. However, I couldn’t be happier with its replacement.
–First, the place is beautiful. Like, really beautiful. Also, the bathrooms: SPARKLING! Bru looks like a coffee shop you’d see in NYC or Chicago.
–Second, the staff is very sweet.
–Third, there is plentiful food options and everything I’ve tried– bagels, waffle sticks, croissant, cookies– have all been delicious.
–Fourth, I’m a freelancer, so being able to work on the WiFi there is important to me. Bru has several seats with electrical outlets. Their guest WiFi was down for a few days, but hopefully it’s back up!
Fifth, I’ve seen the owner/​manager there every day, and he’s always talking to people and helping out, which says a lot.
Sixth, it’s important that Cortland has these hangout spots, and I think Bru fits that need perfectly.
I’m so excited that Bru is in Cortland and I hope it enjoys many, many years of success!

Thoughtful design and good aesthetics. Beer and wine after 4pm. Just one small TV above the bar area. Good refuge from blaring TVs and sports.
When we were there, they were playing the radio, which was sort of off-​putting — the local butt rock station doesn’t make for the chill, relaxed vibe this place would otherwise offer.
Seems like they are off to a good start.
