Awesome!!! Don’t let the outside look fool you. Be brave, walk in and order! You will be glad. This local small business is what a real humble coffee and kitchen is all about! They serve Delicious just right coffee drinks and baked goods. We tried the Club sandwich and bread was so soft. The banana chocolate loaf is out of this world. The Gibraltar drink and latte art is incredible. Family atmosphere and super loving staff! Highly recommend Scrimshaw Coffee :)

Delicious cold brew and almond croissant. Great place to work and study from. Reliable internet, but they do place music (if you’re on calls while you’re there). Convenient 2-hour parking right in front and residential parking nearby.

Takes a little bit to get the food out and make sure you ask them for it separate from your coffee if you plan on taking out, But the food and the coffee are great. Try The sugar lips on ice :))

The best coffee shop I’ve been to so far! They have to the best coffee! If you’re looking for great coffee, this is the stop. They have several options, also if you like sweet/ flavored coffee they have options, but it’s not overly sweet where it’s overly sweet. Absolutely incredible service, the employees are kind, helpful and overall makes the experience better! The atmosphere is great, they have space where you can sit and enjoy your coffee, if you’re in town or live here you have to try it! Also such a great place to do some work!

I like this place because they don't remember my name. I've been going here for over a year. They're fast, quality coffee, act nice and don't care. A lot of cafes have high turn over rates but I've seen the same people working here. Working food service jobs is difficult so I'm glad people stay here. 10/10 wish the seats were comfier tho

Very pretentious coffee shop, atmosphere is boring. Decided to give this place another chance after two past bad experiences. We came in at 1:30pm, and they were out of bagels, these people close at 6:00pm but are out of bagels by 1:30pm lunch time? Prices are high and not reflective of the quality of the food, which is average. Better off making it yourself and save time and money. Come here and take your pictures, read a book, etc.
