Karina was an excellent server! She was very helpful and understanding when my colleague and I had to take our food to go instead of dining in for lunch today as we had originally planned. All the staff is great, to be honest. Food, mimosas, coffee are all so delicious and fresh, and the space has a unique vibe that makes eating there feel special every time.

My son and I and my service dog truly enjoy this environment. Chloe (my service dog)myself greatly appreciate the warm welcome that she gets and the extra care that goes into looking after the customers and concern for comfort! I recommend this little piece of calmness every chance I get!!

Ive been to a lot of places in this area and I think their prices are really high for what you get. Ordered two sandwiches for about $9 each and they were pretty small. Taste-wise, the bread on each sandwich was so thick it overwhelmed any of the fillings, and the amount of sauce they spread on the bread was so small in comparison to how much mass there was in the order that it wasnt worth it. I ordered takeout and the dessert I ordered (the cheesecake) was packed face-down. I would strongly suggest going to Blue Baker instead for higher quality food at a better price. The tomato soup is good, though.

Loved this place! The food was delicious and the peppermint iced mocha was perfect! Cute little cafe with a small menu but it really hits the spot for a quick and easy breakfast or lunch with friends.

Oatmeal with blueberrys, brown sugar, and honey| chicken pesto panini with fresh fruit. That was most definitely the best pesto chicken panini Ive had so far, it tasted so fresh and came out hot! The oatmeal was great as well, not too sweet, just right. Excellent establishment. Would highly recommend.

We didnt stay long. The kitchen was closed, but they were serving coffee and sweets - muffins, rolls, etc.I very much enjoy Village Cafe. I will go back again, but earlier in the day

One of my fav spots for tasty cafe food. Super place to meet and chat with coworkers. Nothing but great experiences here. The place has a cool atmosphere.

Atmosphere:Really enjoyed the atmosphere and was surprised in the amount of seating that it has. Ever so often they have various prints and art decor by local artists, which is great to see. The only downside is that it gets relatively loud even though there might not be many people, but it is probably due to the small footprint, as well as working kitchen area.Service:The waitress got to us relatively quickly with water, silverware, and menus. Then once we made our selections ,both the food and drink came out quickly.Quality:The toasted marshmallow cappuccino was something I never had before, but would most likely get it again due to how great it was. The strawberry cupcake is something I would recommend due to the glaze and how it paired well with the cake. The fresh strawberry on top was a nice touch.

Everything was delicious . Great atmosphere, live blues playing, sat out on the patio in perfect cool evening weather, eating delicious food and drinking coffee. BBQ pizza, yummy pasta, really good vegetarian meatloaf. Their desserts are from scratch and amazing too!

Review №12

Atmosphere and service was heavy for a quaint little restaurant. Many vegetarian options as well which is a good reason I will be returning when I go into downtown Bryan. My only quarrel was that the belle nonna had too much sauce for my liking but the flavor was great. I really want to come back to try the meatless meatloaf. Great menu, great service, great atmosphere.

This is a nice place in Bryan to eat in the historical part of town. The menu is eclectic offering things other than BBQ thank goodness. The owner and wait staff is extremely friendly and quick to please. The dining area and bathrooms are clean and a quick peek in the kitchen is the same. As of this writing they have excellent scores from an amazingly well traveled department of health. I celebrated my sons A & M graduation dinner here with family and never felt rushed. This is one of the best places to dine in its category in the twin cities.

Literally the best Sandwich and Soup that I have ever had. I hate beans with a burning passion, and I heard that the soup of the day was the Bean Soup, but I loved it. It was one of the best soups that I have ever had. Please go to this restaurant- It is amazing.

Great place for breakfast/ brunch. Must try their spinach quiche, waffles and the downtown mocha. Food is very fresh and delicious. They have several paintings by local artists/ kids on display which makes it very interesting.

These pics don’t do it much justice, but it should be telling enough that I devoured all my food before even thinking to take a pic. Jesus... 5 stars isn’t enough. Everything was delicious, flavorful, and just tasted fresh. The ambience was great and the area had that quaint, small Texas town feel to it

The Village is one of the best local restaurants in Bryan/College Station! Sandwiches, wraps, and salads are all great and ingredients are bought local when in season. The Village has really stepped up their coffee offerings as well. The brunch at the Village is phenomenal and it gets a bit crowded on Sunday morning. This is a great spot to come, have something to eat, and hangout. Reasonable prices and a friendly staff make this gem one of the best places in town. Also, plenty of vegetarian options can be found here.

I love everything about this sweet little cafe. The staff is very welcoming, the food is incredible and Kristy does so much for her community. 5 stars will never be enough!

Review №23

Way too overpriced, especially for what youre getting. I got a coffee, which was the worse coffee Ive ever gotten before. And then a breakfast burrito which had very little seasoning in it, which made it taste very bland.Presentation was great though. And the service was wonderful. The food/drinks were awful and price was way too high ($50 for two drinks and two burritos).

Review №24

We love this place!! The staff is always on point, the food is delicious and the owner Kristy is always friendly and welcoming! We love their breakfast, pizzas, pastas and my favorite is the TBA sandwich with tomato basil soup!! The pastries and baked yummies are out of this world! You have to dry the carrot cake or strawberry cakes!!We enjoy The Village so much! Great place to meet friends for coffee or mimosas or just take the kids to eat! I love singer songwriter night and all the art that is always displayed. Make sure you make a First Friday trip up there, you wont be disappointed.We love The Village!

Great food, great coffee, great service! Atmosphere was very nice as well. A little on the pricey side but will definitely return next time Im in the area. Im always on the lookout for places I can get good food and good espresso coffee; this is definitely one of those places! And its a local stop supporting local farms etc!

So many great memories at this place. It is usually filled to the brim with some of my favorite people on the planet. Food is great! Made with almost exclusively local sources. Particularly fond of the breakfast/brunch fare, but it is hard to beat the TBA sandwich anytime of the day. Coffee is amazing. Atmosphere cannot be beat. Id dine here 3-4 meals a day if I could.

Review №33

Went to The Village for Firat Friday this evening and had a great time!! The food and beer was tasty and a good price, but the atmosphere is really what sets this place apart from all of the other restaurants downtown. It is very cozy,.with local art lining the walls, couches, and even books/board games you can grab if your group feels like playing something! The staff were all extremely friendly as well, definitely our new favorite spot in the BCS area

Review №34

Very serviceable food and a lively crowd make this a nice stop when visiting downtown Bryan. Service is efficient and attentive and the vibe friendly. Espresso and coffees were disappointing in their lack of depth and strength, but I could easily see the espresso working well for flavored lattes and such. Went for coffee but stayed for the vibe.

The pizza here was amazing. Four of us each got a different pizza, and each one was really good. Some interesting toppings combination, but they all worked really well. One pizza is a decently big meal for one person, but two of us guys finished a whole pizza each, and our dates ate about half each.The atmosphere is really cool, and the service was excellent. There was an art gallery set up throughout the whole place when we went.We went on a Friday for dinner, and the live jazz music started at 8 PM. We ate and talked for a while until the music started, and we stayed on the couches and played board games from their game shelf when the music started.

The Village is a nice place.BUT WE WERE NEXT DOOR AT UNCORKED!This always asks how was the Village. I DONT KNOW, WE WERE NEXT DOOR.Im giving them a 4, because when we have gone there, usually after church, as our church is St. Andrews, which is across the street, it has been good.TONIGHT, WE WERE AT UNCORKED!WE ARE AT UNCORKED EVERY WEDNESDAY.Google needs to give an option to say: We were next door, across the street, stuck in traffic, but we were not at the place that you said we were!

Review №47

This place is THE BEST in Bryan/College Station. I meant to get pictures for the review, but it’s really nice and casual inside. Food is amazing. There is nothing bad on their menu, nothing. They’ll cater anything to your liking and it’s great if you have dietary restrictions. I usually come here as a midweek pickme up while I study with delicious food and good coffee. I will come here just for the tomato soup sometimes. NOTE: If you’re looking for a study spot, there are rules. They are a restaurant, meaning if they are busy, don’t bust out your homework and expect them to be cool with it. They do need to make money like any other business. Use common sense. When I go in on a Tuesday or Wednesday afternoon, they’re pretty quiet, making it a chill study spot. Sunday brunch? Not so much. Respect it! I want them to stay open as much as they do :)

I use this restaurant as a relaxing lunch retreat. Food has been good every time, simple wholesome fare with reasonable pricing. Staff are very low key and leave me alone to eat and do what I want without interruptions.Ambience is artistic minimalist, eclectic furnishings and gallery style hangings.

An appetizing local restaurant that has fresh and unique menu options. They were very kind and patient with our large group that came in mid-morning. I love the fact that they have a full menu available all day and you can taste the freshness in eat plate made at the time the order is placed. There was a small mix up with our order and they went out of their way to make it up to us, which we found extremely generous. Hope to make it back some day!

BEST BREAKFAST SPOT EVER! My date brought me here for breakfast, we sat outside on the patio because it was such a nice day out. They had Ed sheeran playing, lights and the atmosphere was amazing. The service, OUTSTANDING!!! The food came out faster than we waited in line. The customer service was EXCELLENT. I will be coming again!!!!! I loved it!

Good breakfast/brunch place. Staff is extremely friendly and can clear any doubts in the menu if you have any. Their coffees are really good, perfect start to the day, and the combos are very filling. It is vegetarian friendly, but not vegan friendly, I am not too sure if they can make their meals vegan friendly. They also regularly host salsa nights, and those are extremely fun!

The food is great, fresh, tasty. The music is loud enough to hear but you can still have conversations. They have wine, hot tea, coffee, beer, anything youd like and they are always happy to serve you! You can go here to study, read a book, learn Salsa dancing on Saturdays, or just hang out. I love it!!

Older local breakfast restaurant in old downtown Bryan, TX.  Took a minute to get used to their type of service. You order at the front counter & the waitresses brings your food.  After that youre on your own for condiments & anything else you need. The food was pretty good though.

Awesome little cafe. We were in College Station for only a few days, and were pleasantly suprised by this gem. The coffee is amazing, I cant remember the last time I had such an amazing latte. The food, which was fresh, was also on point. The menu had something for everyone from sausage and eggs to vegan offerings (which appear in short supply in this town).

Great atmosphere and food. Everything comes out tasting fresh. Have been here plenty of times for studying, lunch, and morning coffee and I have yet to try something I haven’t liked.

My husband and I contacted Kristy and Amanda to cater our wedding reception. They were extremely helpful through the whole process. The food was amazing and all of our guests were very impressed. They made the catering step of the whole planning process so easy and one less thing to worry about. We HIGHLY recommend The Village for any catering needs you may need. A++ in our books!!!

Always enjoy dining at the village. Walk in, grab a menu and be sure to check out their dessert offerings. The staff is always glad to see you and try their best to ensure your visit is enjoyable. Art lovers will enjoy viewing their current exhibit and music lovers will appreciate their live music. Be sure to stop in on First Friday in Downtown Bryan to see whats new.

Initial service was a little slow, but that was probably due to the fact the young woman who took my order was also busing tables. The atmosphere is pretty chill and has and old fashioned historic look with a contemporary flare. Plenty of art on the walls. The coffee I would give an a- it has a good bitter balance but could be a little smoother. Havent yet tried the food but a lot of people are eating it so thats good news! I would recommend you try this place.

This is a no frills place, local which I like to support but breakfast for two invariably can cost you as much as a dinner in some average restaurant. Very nice place to eat the environment is great and nice art for purchase on the walls. Wait can be long for food during peak hours and the prices are a bit higher than expected for the location and type of restaurant. I lower the rating based in the pricing of this place.
