Hi,
Small chisel and hammer with lot of patience?

There is no easy way and depending on the brick, you may end up damaging
the brick trying.

Options include but are not limited to power wash, wire brush, chisel
and hammer, acid wash, sand blasting and I am sure a few others. Anything
strong enough to remove concrete is likely to also damage the brick. I would
suggest the sooner the better. Also note that the BBB is paid for by
businesses for businesses.
