I love Brakeman's! They provide a unique coffee experience in the coffee desert of Matthews, NC. They have a solid assortment of quality coffee based beverages, tasty snacks and incredible smoothies. The staff is incredibly friendly and the atmosphere is warm and inviting.
My only complaint is the cold brew program is very inconsistent and often watered down. It either tastes like they are trying to brew a second batch off of the same grounds, creating a watered down concentrate with less flavor or they are adding too much water to the concentrate for the end product. Quality cold brew should be a mix of 1:1 or 1:2 concentrate to water ratio based on the coffee and to taste.
