Brujas - West Hempstead

?? A halloween/spooky themed coffee shop???? Yes, this is real! Halloween lovers MUST come here. Its 100% worth it! ?? When in the area, I found this on google and legit drove 20 minutes out of my way to go here… worth it! The outside was lit beautifully at night adding to the vibe. The entire inside is amazing. You could spend 15 mins just checking out all the spooky decor! They have a large selection of vegan baked goods in the case. Lots of fun drinks. And you can sit down to dine. I got a coffee for the road gotta try some Witches Brew after all! 2 mini vegan cheesecakes also caught my eye. Seriously, come here for the VIBE. Even more of a bonus, good food drinks!!

We came on a Friday night around 6:30. I put us on the waitlist and everything went smooth. Our corner was cozy. We got the pretzel appetizer with honey mustard, the fried chicken sandwich, gnocchi and ac n cheese. It was my first time having mock chicken and it was delicious. Pretzel bun was nice and soft. The gnocchi and Mac n cheese was very tasty but the gnocchi was a little sweet for my fiancés taste. For dessert I got the sleepy hollow tea and we got a vegan chocolate cupcake and devils good cake. All were great. Beings that we were seated on a couch with a low table is wasn’t the most comfortable to eat dinner but it was to be expected for a coffee house. Overall the vibes were cozy, perfect for Halloween and the food was really good. We stayed for two hours and they didn’t rush us out.

I came here with my two daughters, one of whom has a peanut allergy. She ordered the chicken ceasar wrap and mentioned as she always does to the waiter that she has a peanut allergy. He then informed us that the chicken is cooked in peanut oil so she said she would just have the spinach and artichoke dip. The waiter then told us the tortilla chips are also cooked in peanut oil and actually everything that is fried is cooked in peanut oil but it 's supposed to be non-reactive . There was no way we were taking a chance so we had to leave disappointed. I don 't fault them for using peanut oil but in this day and age with so many suffering food allergies WHY isn 't it anywhere on their website or menu warning people about the use of peanut oil? It 's irresponsible and downright dangerous. I would never have gone there if I had known. As a side note we were a bit disappointed in the condition of the place. It seemed very run down and not well staffed. Also there was an hour wait time on a Wednesday for lunch.

Started a plant based lifestyle on Jan 1, 2020. For my steakhouse reviews, read my older posts ?. Second time to Witches Brew and the visits will continue. Both times I ate too much. Started with sharing the Mediterranean Vegan sampler followed by a vegan gyro sandwich (I am still Greek). My wife had the fried “chicken “ vegan sandwich. Dessert to go since I was stuffed. Vegan cheesecake and coconut cake. The place has a great vibe, clean eclectic and comfortable. Had to wait but worth it. Server was wonderful, manager was attentive. There are many options For the non-vegan diner. You will not be disappointed.

I've been here multiple times before but I never wrote a review. Unfortunately today is the one time I felt I had to. We got seated at 12:10PM on a Sunday. They open at 12, they had other people already seated. We waited for someone to take out order, another family was seated and ordered from. Two women across from us were ordered from. Then another couple was seated and they were also ordered from. We were sat there twenty minutes with no acknowledgement. No one asked if we had questions, needed more time or were ready to order. We got up and left. This is unacceptable! Now I don't like to bring up things I don't have facts for, however everyone else was all white parties. My girlfriend is Asian and while we were walking back to the car the only comment was that maybe it happened because she was Asian? That really shouldn't be an issues, you work for a business, you put your personal feelings aside. I will not describe the gentleman that did not help us because I feel that is unfair even after how we were treated. I will never be back. I will never recommend this place again.
