By Elina Urrutia |Staff Writer| Bricks and Birch is a newly established restaurant in the heart of downtown Redlands, in the historic Fox Theatre building. The shop features wood-fired pizza, salad, pastries, Stumptown Coffee and a variety of other goods made fresh each day. The Stumptown Coffee was unlike anything I have ever tried. It was poured into a glass from a tap, coming out frothy like a Guinness stout; the flavors were exquisite. The shop offers many unique pizza combinations that are not available anywhere else. I had the Thai Pie with the peanut sauce that was kind of spicy, but it had a nice kick to it, which made it great. One of the best commodities Bricks … [Read more...] about Bricks and Birch
