Closed. Sold to Brothers Cortado as of company email 9/2/21. Loved this place, its coffee, teas and couches so much. The bar was fun, too.

I love coming here early mornings and late nights. It is a fun and vibrant place to be with friendly faces all around. I always end up here after work and I absolutely rely on the bartenders to help me with a delicious and unique drink! Great beer selection too.

Friendly staff and fast service!! Awesome coffee and the best breakfast sandwiches around. Be sure to try the Josh with bacon and a double shot of espresso or their watermelon basil lime iced tea, so delish.

We stopped by True Brew for a coffee, iced chai, and avocado toast. The iced chai we couldnt even drink because it was pure skim milk. The avocado toast- not good- see picture. Not a friendly environment. Almost $20.00 for three small items, none were good. Buyer beware.

Very kind staff and excellent service. Shaanti in particular was incredibly kind. One young male worker (I do not remember his name) even lent me his AC plug for my USB-C cord so I could charge my phone. Other patrons are always welcoming and kind. The atmosphere is beautiful, comfortable, and accomodating, with a focus on the work of local artists.This time I ordered the avocado toast (delicious and only $3!) and got to explain to them what an Adios, Motherf**ker! was and the barkeep NAILED it!This has been my go-to place ever since Pokémon GO came out in 2016 (free Wi-Fi for customers!) as four Poké Stops can be lured from inside the cafe. Ive never had a bad experience. Adore this place ♡

True Brew is a gem in Concord, NH. Coffee shop vibes, unique craft drafts and delicious tea & coffee creations. Great spot for lunch, live music on weekends and a quiet place to read during the day. If youre looking for something different than a sports bar, this is your place.

A little expensive, but overall great. I love the ambiance of the quaint cafe. Its very welcoming and I appreciate the live music from time to time. A great place to just grab a drink and a snack and just relax with some friends.

Awesome grill cheese with apple slices and bacon but pricey. They need a better side other than dry tortilla chips.

So glad I found this. Incredible selection of drinks. Unique flavors and concoctions. Cozy with bar seating and couches. A better option than Starbucks. They even have to go!

There honestly should be a 10 star review option for this coffee shop, because they are AWESOME! Im pretty sure they would consider me a frequent flyer; since I go in once, if not twice a day! I love the coffee options and food selection that they offer but I think what I enjoy the most is how friendly their staff is. Every time I go in there Devon and Allie are so incredibly friendly and genuine - which is tough to find so early in the morning!I truly believe in supporting the local businesses and will continue to go to True Brew over any other chain coffee place!You guys are AMAZING! 10/10 FOR SURE

Review №23

Great food, I would give it a 5. The staff, one of the female managers in particular, I would give a 1 or less if possible. If you dont look Or act a certain way I feel like they judge you and 100% treat you differently. They have the best Barista balls and breakfast sandwiches, so I tell myself everyone is entitled to their own opinion and go about my business. Prices are definitely way up there so if youre looking for A less expensive place, I would hit Dunkins. If you dont mind paying a little more then I have to admit their food is pretty damn good.

Great vibe. Comfortable furniture. The staff here is knowledgeable and friendly. The live music nights are fantastic. This place is a wonderful part of the Concord downtown scene. Breakfast all day and low key bar scene at night. Safe space with good people.

Review №25

Great barista and great bar on the other side. Drinks are affordable. Food is good. Service is great and the beer selection is probably the best and most varied that you will find in concord. Plus they have live music on the weekends. Definitely recommended.

Great place to get a beer, have not tried coffee but the tap list usually has something for everyone. Atmosphere is calm and the staff is friendly and attentive! Thanks!

Review №27

This cafe-bar has a lot of potential but just isnt quite there yet. It is most likely the best coffee shop in town, but hey, the bar is low. Outdoor seating is a big plus, especially if theres live music playing in the courtyard. Good coffee and tea, overall decent coffee house. Sandwiches arent bad, but arent that good either. While the bar has a decent selection, service is slow at best. And its not as if this place is ever packed. Its more like - oh, I may get around to making that drink you ordered but remind me again that youre here and make eye contact several times and the next time [or the time after] I walk by I may or may not give you what you want. As for the vibe, it has all the components of a warm, comfy, pleasant spot, but I cant quite put my finger on why it fails to deliver. Fine for one-on-one conversations, but not a place youd go to have a fun night out with friends. If beer is your thing, head over to Penuches instead.

Review №33

The service is excellent, and the tea selection is very expansive not just for a coffee place but for ANY place. This is very important to me and my wife; I dont drink coffee, and she cant have much caffeine. The food was wonderful and the prices were moderate to higher but well worth it. Will be returning.

I come here when I pass through Concord. The coffee and food are really good. Atmosphere and location are enjoyable as well. They just need to work on the flow of ordering and paying so its smoother and obvious to the customer, especially the new customer. Otherwise, great spot.

Its a very chill place to come relax and enjoy music while doing something. A hole on the wall bar with a great changing beer selection. Coffee and tea are great with the seasonal selections. Staff is super friendly and tries to accommodate anything youd like.

True Brew Barista is a great place to catch up with a friend in an atmosphere that is close to being in your own living room. It is quiet and comfortable -- and you can get a great cup of specialty coffee or tea and a pastry to go with. As with most venues in downtown Concord, parking is a huge problem but if you are willing to walk a bit this is the place to go!

Review №41

I have never had a bad drink or food here! The locally made donuts are to die for. The avocado toast is delicious and my new favorite is the caprese panini. My diet is only spared since Im not exactly local. There is a nice atmosphere. I do the summer arts market and theyve even delivered my breakfast out to me! So yummy. I wish the prices were a little lower and sometimes it takes awhile to get your order, but 100% worth the visit.

Review №42

Only coffee place open after 5 that we could find. Its down an alley and across from a nice little...park? A public space, at any rate. Its cozy and has a tucked away secret kind of feel, and the tea was AMAZING! 5/5, really impressed with this place

Review №43

Really cool coffee shop. I was in Concord for 2 days for work and wanted to just hang out on the shops comfy couches forever instead of working. Would love to come back to try out the bar side. Drinking your coffee in the courtyard in front of the shop is also a must.

The coffee and tea here is great and a wonderful match to go alongside their food. Every food item I’ve ordered was phenomenal. One of the few coffee shops I like to eat at as much, if not more than I like to drink their coffee. Super cozy aswell.

Favorite coffee shop in Concord. Decent coffee and sandwiches. Chill atmosphere for a conversation. The other half of the shop is a pub with a really good local beer selection. Most employees seem friendly and accommodating. Opening hours are great!

True brew is the best of both worlds. During the day you can grab a coffee or a tea and get some work done, or hang out.But go to True Brew at night and it is more of a bar scene. They have live music almost every weekend.A great selection of both, local craft beers, and cheap macro beers.($2 PBR or Narragansett Pints!)Staff is friendly and sociable.Outdoor seating during the summer.You wont find a TV in the place. Rather its more of a hipster type vintage feel. A unique vibe that makes True Brew so great.

I ordered a sandwich and had to ask for it after waiting 15 minutes after I ordered it. Apparently my order wasnt as important as the employees conversing with each other. There were more employees than customers so no reason for my order to be neglected. Epic fail

Nice place. Somewhat like a coffee shop with plenty of places to sit and lounge about on couches, chairs, or at the bar. Good coffee with good food and a decent selection of beer. Their is also entertainment in the evening although, a bit too loud on the various vocals.

Great place; great atmosphere, and staff. Air hockey table is a little loud on the bar side, but I was there at an off time, so it would probably be fine with a crowd there.Overall this place has continued to be amazing over the years.

The bartenders and baristas are super helpful and friendly. Great selection of local and small brewery beers on tap. The muffins are also great, and they have gluten free items pretty often. Amazing location, and the live music on Friday nights outside in the summer is wonderful.

Enjoy the atmosphere very much. Great spot for catching up with an old friend or business meeting. Wish prices were listed for beers, always different and higher than most others in town. Decent selection.

Review №64

Kinda busy and expensive, but cozy and tasty. One of the chicks working there was a... not very nice person and asked me and my girlfriend to leave after hanging out there too long without buying, though we were regulars there that had always paid for something. Havent been back there since, and dont plan to until I speak to management. That all being said, I highly recommend dropping in. Location is convenient, but like most anything in that area of Concord, parking is a headache.

Review №65

Coffee shop and bar in one? Count me in.This was a little hard to find being nestled in a courtyard off the main strip.The space looks very historic and I think True Brew has been here a while.I was worried that they might be more about the alcohol than producing a fine espresso extraction but that worry ended up being unfounded.I ordered an espresso cortado and it was done to perfection.Probably the best espresso available in Concord second only to its sister location downtown in the bookstore.

Food and drinks are honestly pretty meh, but I absolutely love the vibe here. Would absolutely recommend it for hanging out on your own or with friends, as well as for any community meetings you have with your groups. 10/10 recommended.

Review №71

Every time Ive visited, theyve had a good amount of local beers, the bartenders have always been very helpful and friendly, and the food is quite good. This *should* be the first place that comes up when you do a web search for beer bar Concord NH. Actually, it should be the ONLY place that comes up! (Well, in addition to the two brewpubs in town.)

Review №72

Wonderful casual, relaxed atmosphere, old world pub crossed with college dorm furniture. Sandwiches were large and wonderful. Staff were pleasant and helpful. One side can have live music which curtails conversation, but if you go on the sofa side, its a lot quieter and you will also have easy access to their delicious confectionaries. Was a bit difficult to find and I first mixed it up with the True Brew Cafe. 35 Warren St., then go off street behind the candy store to the little square and TBB is on your right.

Good coffee. But even with headphones in, their ambient spotify music station (usually some generic indie rock) is so loud that I couldnt hear my own thoughts. Highly recommend they turn it down to a normal volume level. People are yelling right now to compete with the music.Otherwise, this is a nice little coffee shop in central Concord.

This place is awesome simply put. The only gripe, hence the stars, is as follows. When they get busy everything just slows down to a crawl. This has happened almost every time Ive been in. Im not saying that the baristas are not doing a good job, or making excellent drinks, they are. Its just the processes could be improved, or some multitasking could happen. The last two times I went to get my delicious mocha, I saw people leave who were not willing to wait. In any event, its still way better than Starbucks.

Yum, bacon was in the air as we walked in. Wed already eaten and regretted it. I was happy to find they had a large selection of teas, so I had a cup of Assam which was well steeped. We also had an iced coffee which was deemed VERY GOOD by the coffee snob and a cinnamon danish that was gone in a flash.

I had mac and cheese with bread crumbs and there were way too many bread crumbs and it kind of felt like chewing on sawdust. It was cold in there. I added milk to my tea and it curdled; the description did not mention citrus in it. If I did not add milk, the tea would have been really good
