Reviews
delicious food, amazing drinks, decadent desserts and the coziest vibes.
Everything is completely vegan, but you would never feel like you’re missing a thing. The flavors are comforting and so satisfying. I always have to start with the nachos. My longtime go-to is the falafel sandwich (so good every single time), but I recently tried the pesto gnocchi and wow… that might be my new favorite. Absolute perfection.
I just had their hot cocoa with peanut butter added and it is officially my favorite hot cocoa ever. Rich, cozy, and exactly what you want in a warm drink.
This place just feels special. I’ve been coming here for years with my friends. Forever a favorite.
Heres what we got: Frozen vanilla Chai drink, frozen chocolate drink, buffalo cauliflower, Mac and cheese, Korean fried chicken sandwich, chicken marsala, mushroom Alfredo pasta, apple crumb cheesecake, brownie cheesecake and sugar free apple pie.
Our waiter was super nice and very attentive. The restaurants atmosphere was great too. Looking forward to our next visit!!
We tried the Pesto Gnocchi, Smokey Tea, and Mocha Coffee — everything was delicious! The brownie cheesecake was mouthwatering and a must-try.
The only downsides were the long wait time and the reservation process, even on a Friday afternoon.. Also, I felt the service could be a bit more attentive. Also, the automatic 20% gratuity for a party of two was unexpected.
That said, the ambience was absolutely amazing — cozy, creative, and full of character. Totally worth the visit, and I can’t wait to go back! ☕✨
I’ve been going to the Witches Brew since about 2008 and it’s still one of my favorite cozy spots. The decor is spooky and a little eclectic. While during the day you can see the fun mixed and matched vintage furniture, at night their warm string lights make for the coziest ambiance. It’s especially perfect during the Halloween season. One thing that I noticed from our most recent visit on a Friday evening is there were a good amount of families with kids and even babies. It might be quieter to go at a different time like I have in the past. Funny enough, it’s probably all the people like me who used to come here in our high school days.
SERVICE
They get super busy and have implemented a virtual waiting list system that you can find via a link on their Instagram. It’ll notify you when you’re next and gives you 10 minutes to get back there. Honestly, easy nicer than waiting in a line outside in the cold! They’ve also always had super nice servers that regardless of time have the same friendly chill vibes.
FOOD
My favorite thing to get here is one of their special coffee flavors. They have a huge assortment with fun spooky names. I love picking one with a marshmallow flavor base. Might be called Midnight. They also have a huge adjustment of loose leaf teas that they serve in cast iron tea pots. These drinks pair perfectly with their desserts. My favorite things to get from them is a warm cinnamon bun a la mode.
For their savory food it should be noted that the whole menu is vegetarian/vegan friendly. Something we ALWAYS get is their focaccia which is warm and cheesy. Their artichoke dip with nachos is excellent and my husband enjoyed his falafel sandwich with fries.
We ordered a spread: the vegan Korean fried chicken sandwich, Philly cheesesteak, red coconut curry, chocolate cookie à la mode, apple crumb cheesecake, cinnamon bun, and a Boston cream doughnut.
First off, the food was outstanding. The vegan Korean fried chicken sandwich was crispy, saucy, and packed with flavor. The Philly cheesesteak was rich and satisfying, the Mac and cheese was rich and gooey, and the red coconut curry had incredible depth with the perfect balance of spice and sweetness. Every savory dish felt thoughtfully made and really comforting.
Then came the desserts, which were honestly the highlight. The chocolate cookie à la mode was warm and decadent, the apple crumb cheesecake was unbelievably good, and the cinnamon bun was soft, gooey, and exactly what you want from a bakery-style roll.
The only thing that didn’t quite hit the mark for us was the Boston cream doughnut, it was dry to be honest, but with how incredible everything else was, it barely mattered.
The staff were also incredibly sweet and friendly, which made the whole experience even better.
Between the creative menu, the quality of the food, and the cozy atmosphere, this place is such a gem. We’ll definitely be back to try more of the menu.
