Brewtiful is a new way of enjoying coffee — while you’re shopping. It’s an espresso bar that acts like a guest in premium retails. It only serves specialty coffee, to go.

They aim to help you discover coffee’s best taste, lovingly prepared by the artisan baristas, whose smiles and enthusiasm match the SOLO CUPS colours, part of the Brewtiful identity. Oh, remember that other wonderful, warm drink, popular around the Holidays and winter time? Brewtiful has this specialty hot chocolate with 72% real cocoa which we definitely want to try. Stay tuned for the incoming BTLT review where we’ll discover more about the flavourful, colourful and happy Brewtiful atmosphere.
