The Shop

I’m not one to leave a negative review but I’m genuinely surprised this place has so many good reviews. I’m a local and have visited the Shop ever since I was young, always hoping something would be different than the last time I was there. But honestly, I have never had a good experience there. There was a time when I’d ordered my drink, sat at my table and went back up to get a cup of water from the jug they have at their counter. It was empty but when I asked the baker if she could refill it for me she said no because it’s “not her job.” Another time I was studying there with a friend and we both got a very strong whiff of marijuana coming from an employee who was on his *third* snack break since we’d gotten there 45 minutes before. I wish I was making this up. I can’t tell you how unprofessional this is. The Shop has gotten my order wrong nearly every time I’ve gone there, and once when I confronted them about it, they told me to keep the drink they’d given me and that they’d make me a new one. They never did. I understand times are hard but the only reason this place stays in business is because it’s a convenient location to folks who live in the neighborhood; it has nothing to do with the quality of service. To say nothing of the vibe of the place. When I walk in there, something just feels off. If you’ve been in, I’m sure you know what I mean. I’m truly disappointed I don’t have anything positive to say about the Shop but I don’t think it’s unfair to expect more from a local coffee shop.

I love the shop! Always friendly and kind to everyone they meet always would recommend to anyone.

Insanely overpriced. $20 for a tiny drink and 2 bagels! My wife got a bagels sandwich and a short drink, I got a bagels with cream cheese. That doesn't add up to $20!!nThe food was mediocre. Could do better at home.nOn top of all that, we spent 20 minutes outside in the cold while people who ordered after us got their stuff first...nWill never go back.

I have only seen the outside (it is Covid time) but I can tell you that the coffee is gooood.nYou have to wait outside to prevent the spread of the virus and still support local businesses and it worth it.nA lot of sanitary measures are made so feel safe to stop by!nThere is parking in front of it.

The BEST people here! Super friendly and helpful. Since Covid started I'm now coming here (from 4miles away) once a week to support them. Grabbing an iced mocha and a snack. All the menu items are tasty, but my favorites are the cinnamon rolls and cookies. Gluten free options too. If you brew coffee at home, give the Anvil #1 bag a try (they can grind it for you if needed).
