Brioux Falls Coffee Shop was in The Steel District overlooking Falls Park on the skywalk between our hotel – Canopy by Hilton – and the parking garage as well as various shops and businsses.   A convenience store with grab and go options as well as freshly made sandwiches and coffee drinks, we thought we’d give it a try as we headed to the airport.  Everyday when we walked by, going to the parking garage, it was crowded with people.  The small shop did not have tables in it but there were several on the bridge where you could sit and watch all the action on the ground level.  We also saw numerous folks get coffee and snacks to go with them.  Even in the morning hours they were happy to make one of their hot sandwiches for us, but their main traffic seemed to be for drinks.  Their regular Americano coffee was good and hot as was the turkey sandwich.  This is quite the tourist area with all the recent development in the area you may find yourself walking by.  It’s a fine place to get a drink and a snack.

Set-up

Food

The turkey melt came with bacon, cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise on ciabatta bread.  All sandwiches come with a bag of Old Dutch chips – and there were several flavors to chose from.   You can’t go wrong with Old Dutch.   The sandwich was thoughtfully prepared with the bottom half being heated to melt the cheese into the turkey while the top half toasted separately so the lettuce and tomato could be added without wilting.  The bread was fresh with a good chew and the other ingredients were good and well proportioned.  Nothing earth-shattering but much better than your average airport fast food options.
