Black & Brew Coffee House and Bistro opened its third location at 4209 S. Florida Ave. Here’s what you should know:

Know before you go
🚗 Express drive-thruOrder online, then head to the express drive-thru on the building’s north side. If you’re ordering there, you’ll need to place your order inside.
🥗 Menu — Choose from select sandwiches, tartines, salads, bowls, pastries, and drinks. Most notably, this location (like the Lake Morton location) does not offer soups.
🪑 Seating — Most of this spot’s seating is on its covered outdoor patio, but you can grab a seat inside for a cozy lunch, coffee break, or study session.
