About Strange Brew Cafe

Strange Brew blends fresh brewed coffee, lattes, frappes, bubble tea, pastries and full service dining with the downtown grind.

Located at 137 Washington St, Binghamton, NY 13901, Strange Brew Cafe operates as a cafe serving Binghamton in New York. This page gathers the practical details people usually look for before visiting: where it is, how to reach it, when it opens and how customers rate it. Besides its main category, the business also describes itself as breakfast restaurant, brunch restaurant, lunch restaurant, so it may cover more than the name suggests.

Coffee in the United States is served by three kinds of places: national chains with drive-thrus and mobile ordering, independent neighborhood cafes that double as a workspace or a meeting spot, and specialty shops that roast their own beans or buy single-origin lots and brew them by pour-over, espresso or cold brew. Most open between 6 and 7 a.m. on weekdays, slightly later on weekends, and the busiest hour is the commute rush before 9. A drip coffee runs a few dollars, espresso drinks and specialty pours more, and tipping a dollar or a percentage on the card reader is customary but not required. Nearly every cafe offers free Wi-Fi, though some limit laptop seating at peak times or on weekends, and outlets are often the scarce resource.

Hours are published for 7 days a week. Typical hours are 7 am–6 pm. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible.

Binghamton is in New York, in the Northeast, where four distinct seasons shape local life: hot humid summers, snowy winters that can close businesses for a day, and a dense pattern of towns where walking, transit and street parking all matter. Traffic in Binghamton peaks on weekday mornings and afternoons, so allow extra time then. Addresses read from the street number up to the city, state abbreviation and five-digit ZIP code; the map link on this page shows the exact spot.

To whoever made my Hashtag breakfast sandwich on Sunday, August 23rd, 2026 at approximately 4:15 p.m., you are heaven sent. An angel amongst mankind. The best sandwich creator in all of history. This was the most divine Hashtag sandwich I have ever tasted (and I have had many). I dream about it. I live in despair that nothing else will come close to this sandwich. May your bloodline be blessed and all of your hopes and dreams come true.

I was hunting for strong coffee. I was hoping this was not weak coffee. Oh my friend, it is not! I ordered a cortado with oatmilk, a latte with oatmilk, a sausage, egg, and cheese. This was the rescue I needed from my caffeine withdrawal. The atmosphere was quiet, quaint, and comforting. They have indoor and outdoor seating. The staff is knowledgeable, and very courteous. Thank you for creating this establishment.

What a great place! Shout out to how nice even the customers are! I was given a suggestion by a regular customer and she was so right, the BLT breakfast sandwich was amazing! I was suggested by the staff to get the sandwich on the house bread and it was perfect! I loved that the coconut really stood out in my hot latte. We also got the Jasmine Green Iced Tea, the Brooklyn breakfast sandwich, and the Breakfast Potatoes, all of which were absolutely delicious. Can't wait to go back for lunch next time!

Visited for breakfast on a weekday morning. Cute little locally owned cafe. Staff were extremely welcoming and pleasant. Good breakfast consisting of omelets and coffee. Would highly recommend. 4 minute walk from the holiday inn. Place your order with the cashier or order at the kiosk. Menu is on the wall to the right of the cashier. Seating consists of small tables of two to 4 seats. Probably not great for large groups.

I don’t quite get how it got its name. The only thing that may be considered strange would be one wall of decals. I think a more fitting name would be something to do with how good their drinks are. I ordered a vanilla bean frappe and I think it was the best one I have ever had! They also have a huge variety of flavor options for their drinks. It was quite impressive. Their food menu had a lot of options. A Mac’n cheese grilled cheese isn’t something I’ve seen on a menu anywhere else. The prices of the food were too steep for me unfortunately so I can’t say how any of that tastes. The display case of cookies and muffins etc. sure looked inviting though. The sitting area is pretty and most seats were filled it’s definitely a popular place.
