Bru
180 W Washington St, Chicago, IL
Crema's Take
“Bru is a Chicago gem that goes far beyond standard coffee shop fare, earning genuine love from regulars for their expertly crafted specialty drinks like a silky brown sugar cinnamon cappuccino and seasonal creations such as salted maple cardamom lattes. The crepe-focused menu is where things get really interesting—think California breakfast crepes with chipotle sauce and rotating seasonal options—making it as much a destination for creative comfort food as for coffee, all served up in a charming space that feels both inviting and conducive to lingering.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.
