Brickhouse Coffee

It's a rainy day. We just visited the Willits Holiday Crafts Fair and wanted to take a break. Lucky us. There was the Brickhouse Coffee. I wanted an Eggnog Latte. My sweetie wanted hot tea. And, we both were looking for a baked treat. Honestly, it's been a challenge to find a café with Eggnog. It's on the menu here. They also feature something called scuffing (part scone, part muffin). What a tasty discovery. We chose a bacon scuffin and a blueberry scuffin. The staff were super friendly. Truly a great experience.

I was traveling and thought I'd stop here to get a little bit of work done. I ordered an almond flavored latte and the veggie "scuffin" and I was genuinely blown away by the quality of both! The food seemed to be basically a pie with a scone base. Whatever it was, it was really tasty! The flavors were very well balanced, and it wasn't too rich. The only thing I would say is that it's a little oily, so eat with a fork if you can. On to the coffee: it was easily one of the best ten lattes I've ever had (and that's saying something as a former barista). The espresso was barely bitter -- it just had that little bit that you want. The milk was steamed perfectly and left a good amount of really beautiful wet foam. I was honestly shocked to find something so great from a little hole-in-the-wall in the middle of nowhere. The staff was also excellent; you can tell that it's a functional team of baristas who enjoy working with each other. The owner was also walking around and working in the back. I talked to him for a few minutes and he seems like a nice enough guy who's really proud of what he's done and the quality of his stuff. Overall, I would give this place a 10/10, and would recommend stopping by if you're in the area.

Cozy eatery on the way north or south on 101 in the charming and surprisingly hip town of Willits. Great pastry and coffee selection. We opted for bagels and I had a delicious and fresh jalapeño cheddar. Iced coffee good. The staff was awesome, the energy in the cafe was positive, and they played good music. Actually one of the best bagels I've had in the hit-or-miss state of California and they used an appropriate amount of cream cheese.

Sweet lil coffee shop off the highway where the owner will come out and share kind words with you. AMAZING COFFEE and perfect bites for your continued travels. They’re also OPEN ON SUNDAYS. I’d definitely exit for their lattes and pastries car☕️🥐🚙💨🛣️

Stopped by in the morning for a much needed coffee break- had the avo toast with egg and regular coffee. I loved the home made vibes and the chill atmosphere of the coffee shop. I wish I remembered the taste of the food but I was sleep deprived the night before and almost fell asleep on the table. Great service, friendly staff and good coffee.

Baristas were friendly and the atmosphere was welcoming. I was pleasantly surprised by their scone, as it was perfectly cakey and not dry at all. I ordered the honey lavender latte and i could taste the honey and the lavender! Perfectly strong roast too. I bought a commemorative ceramic magnet made by a local artist. Well worth it.

Loved this coffee shop. Passing through town we were lucky to find this gem. Lattes were great and BLT was delicious. People were friendly. Loved the artwork on the walls. Found an old photograph hanging that showed the original bank building. The exposed vault is a lovely touch.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this place now! We stopped here because coming out of the motel in an area we knew nothing about, we didn't really know where to get breakfast. I am so glad we found this place! They were very nice about accommodating for food allergies and food modifications, like for example I ordered the blue cove smoothie which was delicious by the way! And I simply asked them to add strawberries in there and they did without an issue, and I also asked them to remove the cheese on my vegetable sandwich which they also did without issue. The sandwich was super yummy! The avocado was the perfect level of ripeness, the bread was toasted perfectly, and the flavors of the veggies and some other seasonings all just paired very well and made a very delicious veggie sandwich. The smoothies were made with real fruit and didn't have added sugar in them, which I really appreciate. And they tasted very yummy. Also ordered a ham and egg croissant, and the croissant was very buttery and flaky, wasn't stale at all and was also toasted very nicely. Also ordered a cream cheese bagel with salmon, and that was very nice because the smoked salmon wasn't TOO intense on the smoke flavor, but was also still a nice compliment to everything else. The dill and capers were a nice touch to the bagel as well and really added some yummy and interesting flavors. I totally recommend this place and there were still so many other menu items that sounded delicious that we didn't get to try! I hope we will be able to go again some time very soon because the interiors were very beautiful with the brick wall and plants and tables they have in there, gave it some sort of style, and also the food was all around very delicious. Highly recommend!

Delicious sandwiches and coffee. I got the California sandwich (BLT with turkey) and the bacon offered the perfect crunch. Both the hot and iced vanilla lattes were smooth, with the hot one being a little sweeter from the steamed milk. Plenty of seating indoors, and two tables outside. There’s also a park right down the street that makes for a nice picnic spot with your treats from Brickhouse.

Stopped in for coffee and breakfast on our trip, was not expecting such a lovely shop and *delicious* drinks and meals. We met the owner who was incredibly friendly, took the time to talk to us about our trip and give us travel recommendations. The shop is inside an old bank building and they thoughtfully kept the vault door and some other pieces to give it character and keep the history. There is an array of beautiful gallery pieces to look at while you sip and relax. It was stunning watching the clouds roll in from outside. If I’m ever in the area again, I’ll return for sure and recommend it to anyone nearby!

I love this wonderful ❤ place. The food is excellent 👌🏽 they have gluten free made fresh daily coffee cakes, scones and regular bread and coffee cake. The smoothies are definitely worth trying. The coffee ☕ is good too. And the most delightful thing about going there is the customer care, they even remember your name. A must try if you're in Willits California

Stopped here after reading some other reviews that said I HAD to try the Breakfast Popper. Boy oh boy! I wasn’t disappointed. The sandwich arrived just as I showed in the photo with cheesy, ooziness coming out of the middle! I don’t recall breathing since I inhaled the entire sandwich quickly. I washed it down with an Americano and was 100% satisfied with my experience. Friendly staff and a great breakfast sandwich was a wonderful treat in an unfamiliar town! I’d easily return to the Brickhouse Coffee and recommend travelers passing by to stop and do the same. Good job!

Had a fantastic apple chicken sandwich, and probably the most incredibly fluffy persimmon scone I've ever had. Great spot, thank you!

Super good espresso beverages and food. The mocha florentine is too good. Way too good. The coffee staff knows their way around an espresso machine. The foam was perfect as well as the drink.

I love this place. People are awesome and the food and drinks are great. I wish there were more coffee shops around like this. Starbucks should take note.

This place really does it without getting all pretentious. It's a modern café. Stainless steel, white dishes, all that stuff. They can make your drink. But worth a lot more: they've kept their own hometown vibe when many shops like this haven't.

Nice pit stop place as you drive down the 101. Town is charming and there's a historic theater, Carnegie library and park within 100 yards walk. Ordered a latte which was very strong. I ended up buying milk later to cut the flavor because it was too strong for me but if you like bold coffee you will love it. Looks like the building it is in used to be a bank as the coolers are in a vault. Kind of cool

Loved the honey latte. At 8:30am I ordered a ham and Swiss crescent but got the ham and Swiss lunch sandwich which was super tasty but not what I wanted nor what I wanted to pay for… my husband had the original which he liked. I’m sure they would have made things right if we would have gone back, but we are on a road trip and we’re already crunched for time. We don’t get a receipt (was not offered) it’s was $28 for 1 latte, 2 sandwhiches, and a cinnamon ruglach. I would go back if I had the chance but I would double check my order.

A good location with excellent baristas. It has a nice atmosphere and a well-stocked kitchen, allowing them to create a mixed menu. The low score on service was because the staff was distracted during the prep of my family's order by a young blonde with a backless top, resulting in mistakes.

The coffee here wasnt amazing, despite the reviews. We thought it was a bit too acidic. Even with cream, it was still not great. However. The breakfast sandwiches were very good. We had the Veggie one and the Big Breakfast one, and they were great. The buns were perfectly crispy, and everything tasted very fresh. I especially liked the touch of rosemary in the veggie bun.

Brickhouse is a great place to stop, highly recommend coming in. The atmosphere is nice, very clean, local art on the walls- The food is pretty good, love the drink varieties. One of my only complaints is that more than once it’s been difficult to call in an order over the phone. The first time I called I was told I’d be put on hold and got hung up on, so I called back a little bit later and waited on hold for 14 minutes before giving up. I love coming here, I wasn’t feeling well enough to go inside and order. Luckily my partner was kind enough to go in, and by 10:00 we had breakfast in hand. I’m glad we had no other plans, it was worth the stop!
