Toast at Brot Coffee

Finding a good cup of coffee isn’t too difficult in Orange County, latte’s and macchiato’s are flowing on every other corner in town, but Brot Coffee in Orange combines  2 of my favorites, coffee and toast! I’m a self professed #coffeesnob and I ❤ toast! So going to Brot for me is an act of self-care, owner Adrian Contreras offers a wide variety of coffee, teas, iced beverages, Kuhl along with loaves of bread for toast, a huge list of toppings for the toast, bagels, cookies, kouign amann and demi-baguettes.

I drink my coffee black, no sugar or cream, and I really love that Brot gives you the choice of 6 different kinds of coffee beans when you request a pour over or French press, they do change occasionally. The beans are roasted in house, you can see the roaster in an adjacent room where Adrian does his magic, he has me hooked on the perfection he puts on roasting the various coffees. Most of the beans are mild in taste and Adrian brings out every nuance, fruitiness, caramels, nuttiness that are hidden within every bean. Led by Manager, Stephen Schreiber, the crew at Brot Coffee are ready to complete your order with the special care you deserve, thick slices of bread, toasted as you like, toppings include jam, banana, plum butter, Irish butter, vegan butter, almond butter, Nutella, cream cheese, avocado, hard boiled egg, salsa, organic peanut butter and seasoned olive oil.  Bread choices are Bagnat, Brioche, Campagne, Cinnamon swirl, Gluten free, Italian country, Multi grain, pumpernickel, roasted garlic and rosemary, sourdough, squaw and my current favorite, Walnut cranberry batard. Bakery items are sourced locally from Artisan Bakery, BREAD in Santa Ana and are subject to availability.

Brot Coffee is located in Orange next to a recently closed Staples store, it’s close to St. Joseph Hospital and Hollingshead Deli. Adrian recently added some long communal tables to utilize the space and add seating to the popular coffee house. I hope you enjoy your visit as much as I do, take your time to take in all that Brot Coffee has to offer, Roast and Toast is the new Netflix and Chill! Ha! #BobbyKnowsCoffee!
