Top 3 Independent Coffee Shops in Danville, PA

Brews N Bytes 20 Lower Mulberry Street, Danville PA

Hours: The only negative about Brews N Bytes is their hours. They finally opened for brunch on Mondays from 10:30 am to 2:30 pm Tuesday thru Thursday: 10:30 am to 8:30 pm and Friday 10:30 am to 9:30 pm Closed Saturday and Sunday.

Brews N Bytes has been in business for 7 years and is a favorite place on Google, not a small feat for a small business in a small Pennsylvania town. It is also my favorite restaurant in Danville. I invited a friend to join me and they were surprised there was no beer on the menu.

Menu: I often have a difficult time deciding what to order, their menu is mouth-watering. Brews N Bytes menu includes: breakfast anytime, soups, salads, appe-tapa-teasers, quesadillas, quiche du jour, wraps, Panini, puffer stuffers, stir fry, noodle bowls, smooth and frosty, specialty drinks and desserts.

Not only is Brews N Bytes menu a vegetarian, seafood and Indian cuisine paradise, the names of the entrees are amusing. They do have shrimp, tuna, and crab. I recommend the PaNooNoo Veggie and There's Tuna in Altoona Panoona Panini, Humina Humina Humina, the Neptuna and the Chipotle Shrimp & Rice Taco Wraps, the Neptuna Salad and the Thorough Thoreau puffer stuffer. Their homemade salad dressing is out of this world. Try one of their specialty coffee drinks. I recommend the Good Night Kiss and Yin and Yang.

Atmosphere: Quaint, cozy and artsy

Brews N Bytes offers free wi-fi, outdoor dining and live entertainment. The coffee shop is small but not stuffy. It looks more like a coffee shop you might find in Seattle, Washington will unique art and crafts decorating the artsy shop. The front counter displays delicious homemade desserts. The owner is delightful and a true customer pleaser.

You can play the bongos or other instruments set up at the front of the shop. There is also a large selection of board games and books to read while waiting for your meal. Brews N Bytes also offers computer repair services.
