Good menu, great customer service, good outdoor eating. Staff were very responsive and great! Fun brunch food and the Humboldt burger looked impressive! They have a section of outdoor eating for folks with dogs. After lunch, we walked along the nearby river.

Never in my life have I eaten at a restaurant and had the owner come to say hi and explain the dish which was beautiful, until today at Hot Brew.

my wife and I eat their two or three times a Week. I have their quesadilla special. It is excellent and I would recommend it to anybody. Sheri is a great host and she has some of the finest girls on the floor for you.

My only gripe is that my Skillet had a little too much cheese for my delicate taste buds but in rural California getting an absolutely delicious vegetarian skillet with only a lil too much cheese, winning! I added sun tried tomatoes and Tapatio and it was chef's kiss amazing. Coffee was also top notch and they have Oat milk

Our lunch here was phenomenal and definitely reasonably priced! No matter what you order, get a side of the bread and butter. It was amazing! If we are ever in the area again, we will definitely stop here again!

My brother-in-law and I found this wonderful Bistro April 28 on our USA/Canada trip. We had the pleasure of meeting with the owner (forgot her name) whos father was from Sweden. She also showed us pictures of her father and her son who was an image of his grandfather. I would very much like to have an e-mail address to the Bistro, if possible...
