Great atmosphere, friendly staff and a taproom that connects to it. Wife had a lavender latte and I got a Vanilla Americano. People were just casually hanging out and felt like a cozy place if you’re local or not!

Cool little coffee shop with espresso drinks and bakery treats with a few chairs to relax in and tables to chill at. I got the cortado (espresso and steamed milk) and my wife got the red eye (coffee and espresso) and both were bold yet smooth. We also had a gluten free oatmeal cookie. I liked their Halloween decor and friendly service; we'll definitely go back next time we're out here. They're conveniently adjoined to a taproom, too.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free bakery items available

Go for the coffee, which is top notch, but don’t forget the baked goods! All made fresh either in-house or from a local mom-and-pop bakery. The cookies and scones and bagels are excellent, and Tati concocts new cream cheese flavors all the time. Tell her I sent you!Dietary restrictions: Have a nut allergy? No worries! Shoofly goes out of their way to ensure that no nuts are used in their baked goods.

Coffee was good and I liked the atmosphere! Service for me was fine but I witnessed another seemingly shy customer come in and ask about coffee suggestions to which the barista replied 'well it's all good, just depends how strong you like it' and that was the end of the conversation. It seemed like a missed opportunity to provide a friendly and personable experience for that customer and that just struck me a little disappointing. Overall would go back, feels like a local hangout not a touristy spot.

This is such a great addition to our town! Tati makes the chai from scratch and it’s the best I’ve ever tasted. There are sweet treats and bagels and the coffee is great, too
