Review Summary

Overall, Brûlerie FARO is described as a strong downtown coffee destination where quality and consistency stand out, with a wide selection of beans and a menu that goes beyond coffee to include sandwiches, pastries and salads. Reviews consistently praise rich, flavorful coffee, including espresso drinks, pour overs, mochas and cortados, and note a friendly, efficient staff and a welcoming atmosphere that suits study or casual visits. Many say they return or plan to, valuing both the coffee and sustainability efforts like compostable packaging and bag reuse discounts. On the downside, the space is often tight and can feel crowded, seating is limited, and a few experiences mention not always clean areas or inattentive or rude service; pastry quality is variable and some drinks can taste overly bitter if blends dominate. Still, the overall impression is that Brûlerie FARO delivers reliably good coffee with a nice vibe, making it a go-to in downtown for a quick caffeine fix or a longer stay.

Buy my coffee beans there! Always a wide selection of beans all over the world.

Even though it's a roasting house, you can't choose the coffee you want - the options available are blends of different beans, so in the end, you'll end up with a bitter coffee, not a specialty one, unfortunately.

This is a real coffee place. I've been here for only once, & got a very well brewed pour over. I was perfectly listened, heard, & served. Got exactly the right beans that I was looking for. The complexity of the beans was perfectly presented. Will surely come back.

You can find the best coffee here. I am espresso guy & they serve the best one! Also coffee beans are perfect, I recommend "women coffee producers". The baristas & staffs also are friendly & professional. Highly recommended!

The beans in the store are very fresh. I ordered a cappuccino with perfect taste, the sweetness of milk & the sweetness of espresso. Perfect morning!

I've been going to this coffee shop for years now. I live 45min away & I make the pilgrimage multiple times per week to get myself amazing coffee made by people who care. FYI their beans cover a wide range of flavor profiles, ask them for their recommendations :)
