The Branch is one of my favorite places in Fairmount to meet up with friends. It is a quiet, welcoming atmosphere. It's a great place for catching up on work, with friends, grabbing a bite to eat, or even playing some board games!

What a lovely surprise! Food was Yum, service was sweet. This place is a find! I recommend the Café Latte and the Turkey Panini. I noticed there were electrical outlets everywhere. Next time I will bring my laptop and stay awhile.

The Branch is a great spot to get a yummy drink and get some work done. I enjoy sitting at the high top seating in front of the windows. There is free street parking in front of the shop which makes it accessible. Overall the staff is nice and usually gets the orders out very quickly.

A great way to have a light and tasty local lunch while you run around doing the obligatory James Dean visits!

Enjoyed an Irish latte made Breve—great flavor and crafted well. We also tried the biscuits and gravy; while the gravy seemed to be from a mix, it still tasted good. Service was friendly and welcoming. Not the fastest, but definitely attentive. Overall, a solid spot worth recommending!

A nice clean place to relax and enjoy coffee and wonderful smoothies. We also enjoyed wonderful cinnamon rollers, and the chai pumpkin spice was epic!

I can't believe I've lived in the area for almost two years and this is the first time I've been here. I got a breakfast burrito and a James Dean drink and both were amazing! The two employees working when I went in were very friendly and helpful. I'll definitely be going back in the future.
