“ Delicious coffee and it’s always nice to chat with the ladies making our drinks! ”
“ Been going to the brim back to when it was the bongo brew almost 20 years and gotta say the best coffee in town. Everyone who's worked there is great. From Liz, Alyssa, Caydence,Heather, Alora, and the sisters who's names I can't recall they do a phenomenal job. I've lived all oflver sandpoint area and I'll go out my way and drive or walk past all the coffee places in town just to get coffee from the brim. The beans make my day! ”
“ Quick stop while in town. Friendly staff, and good espresso based drinks. Even made the non-coffee blended for the wife. Pup cups with dog treats are a hit for the puppers! Large vehicles alert, the turn around from the right side is a bit tight (I’m in a Ford Superduty) ”

“ Was pleasantly surprised with this coffee shop. You just pull up next to one of the two windows and order. Drinks were done fairly quickly and price is fairly affordable. I ordered a Huckleberry Lemonade and was surprised that it was actually sparkling. Was still very good. Really cool to see how many flavors they have and can be added to any drink. Did not try any food but will definitely try come back again to try. ”
