What People Are Saying
from Google"We we're stationed in Sumter a few years ago and I found Burbakers cafe while exploring some of the downtown area and..wanting some coffee.☺️ The cafe was so cute, and the antique store was fun to look around in while waiting on your order, or after getting it. I Immediately understood that the person or people that made or is making the menu went to culinary school, or is incredibly gifted. The coffee and food was always delicious and most was made in house by the staff. We ended up deciding to move back to our original area a couple of years ago but recently moved back to Sumter and was excited to see a different location but same atmosphere. I recently went to a new coffee shop that I almost immediately regretted going to, what I got wasn't coffee...idk what it was. I drove to Burbakers and told them what happened and that I wanted a cold brew, and decided to get the seasonal one. The the staff were wonderful and made sure I was happy with my drink. The peppermint cold brew is outstanding, and the oatmeal cream pie out of the world. Thank you to Burbakers for changing my morning."
"Brubaker’s Café & Bakery is, without question, one of South Carolina’s true gems. From the moment you walk through the door, the team greets you with warmth, genuine hospitality, and the kind of attentive service that makes you feel like a regular. The food is consistently outstanding. Every pastry, sandwich, and baked treat is crafted with care, intention, and real culinary joy. But the star of the show? The coffee! Brubaker’s roasts their own beans in-house. Rich, balanced, aromatic, and is hands down the best coffee in South Carolina. A local treasure with quality and heart in everything they do. Highly, highly recommended!"
"Friendly staff. Space is small as they just started. I got their cold brew. Unfortunately I can’t recommend them at this time. I paid over $7 for a mediums cold brew and it tastes like watered down coffee. This is after a 10 minute wait for them to dilute their concentrate that they use to make the cold brew. I hope to see them improve and flourish in the future."
"Great bakery! Yummy breakfast sandwich and delicious pastry - including gluten free. Atmosphere will improve with a seating area! Nice people."
"Loved the sourdough cinnamon roll topped with mounds of cream cheese and their house made dark chocolate cocoa! Friendly staff. Very new business come support as they evolve."
