Bricklayer Cafe

Bricklayer Cafe is hands down one of our favorite spots! My husband and I are regulars, and we can’t get enough of their amazing menu. He always goes for the shaken espresso, while I love their lavender latte. When it comes to breakfast, the bodega roll is my absolute favorite! We recently introduced my brother-in-law and his family to Bricklayer, and now they’re hooked too. Any time they are in town they always request Bricklayer. One of the things I love most about this place is how often they change up the menu, always offering something new and tasty. My go-to lunch order is the turkey club—it's what I had today, and it was absolutely delicious! I can’t recommend this place enough! If I had one request, it would be for the Jalapeño Cheddar sourdough to make a comeback—my meatloaf sandwiches just aren’t the same without it!

Bricklayer Bakery and Cafe for Lunch. Best fruit cup around. Tuna salad was Fantastic and the bun was light and fluffy. Coffee is always good.

Worth driving off the interstate for! Fresh mushrooms, homemade ricotta, great coffee, and baked goods. We had the mushroom ricotta pizza, and the mushroom focaccia. Got bread pudding muffins, and coffee to go. All awesome! The owner was very nice, came and talked with us at the table. Atmosphere was very nice too. Highly recommended!

Stopped in for gift cards and just to see what was available. Was tickled they had vegetarian marinara pizza! Delicious! Atmosphere is super cozy.

The opening of Bricklayer here was bittersweet for me, as I frequented the previous resident, Cornerstone Coffee. However, there is no possible way to be disappointed in having bread like this so close to home. It is simply incredible. It is tender with just the right amount of chewiness, and the crust may be more flavorful than the bread. I have only tried a few of their other offerings. The breakfast quiche I had was served still somewhat cold, so it wasn't my favorite, but the greens with a house made dressing were actually so good, I didn't care about the quiche. I recently tried the pumpkin soup and it was one of the best soups I've ever had. Velvety smooth with a balanced spice to it, and it was garnished with tiny cubes of fresh apple. Unfortunately, the container was only about halfway filled, but the piece of toast drenched in butter helped make up for my sadness in not having more soup to eat. And not to disappoint those those who need gluten free options, the gluten free cheesecake made me question if it was GF, it was that good (and big enough for two people). The coffee and drinks also are high quality, like everything else. Regardless, this is a gem of a place with bread and other food to rival anything in the state and beyond, truly. I'm thankful they opened right here in Troy.

A hidden gem, worth the drive from StL! When you walk into this place you smell a fresh bakery and it instantly puts you in a better mood. Then you are greeted by such friendly staff. This was our first visit, but will not be the last! The avacado BLT was the best I’ve had in years. So much fresher than the boring chain restaurants. We also tried the turkey caprese which was equally amazing. The locally made chips were icing on the cake! I can’t wait to return to try some desserts! I love supporting small businesses.
