Felt very unwelcome here, the interaction I had with the barista was bordering hostile and they also didn’t have milk for a latte.

A beautiful and comfortable

During my visit from NYC to Tyler, my friends introduced me to this spot. While I am not a coffee drinker, they do have tea. The London fog is a game changer for tea drinkers. It's comfort in a cup! One my 3rd visit, yes I visited a few times during my 1 week trip, I wanted something chilled and they may the most delicious ice tea using Earl Grey and Honey. It's not on the menu, but I think they should add it. Overall, the location is spacious with plenty seating and close to the "Tyler Art Alley" that you must visit. Enjoy!

Killing time waiting on the court house to hurry up with a bite to eat at this great local spot ? it supports single moms and women who are hurting. The atmosphere is great and the people are kind. Not to mention the drinks and food was amazing.

We love Shine! The atmosphere and customer service are the absolute best here. My son and I always feel so welcome. We do miss the art gallery but love what they have done with the space. It's so accommodating for everyone, there's even special seating and play area for the kiddos, of which my son enjoys so much while he has is special “coffee” (hot chocolate).

Shine has become my regular morning stop for my cup of Joe! The monthly coffee club is awesome. They have unique options I’ve never seen other places. I recommend the “love on the rocks” for coffee drinkers. If you’re into tea, the matcha mint drink is so tasty!! I use coconut milk in mine. You can’t go wrong with the Italian sodas either. They have something for everyone. The muffins are always fresh & taste homemade. The atmosphere is inviting and the staff are always friendly.

Such a cute and cozy place, and love that the proceeds go towards a good cause! If you work downtown, then the coffee subscription is a must: $15/month = 1 free drink per day + 10% off all food and merchandise purchases… it’s a no brainer! ? ?

I am a Black Woman that went into Shine (08/26/2023) and ordered a London Fog. I was greeted by a white woman who gave me a backhanded compliment as if to say by me being black she wasn't expecting me to be put together. My drink was supposed to be Earl Grey tea,steamed milk vanilla and lavender syrup. ( I substituted the steamed milk for almond milk) I asked for it to be iced. It was literally just almond milk and ice water. This woman purposely went out of her way to make me feel as if I wasn't welcomed as a black woman at this place. For a place to claim to uplift and support single mothers ( A Cause) I was made to feel as if I was unwelcomed here. I have never been to this establishment before and because of my treatment here I won't be coming in there again. No one should ever go in a place and be made to feel uncomfortable because of the color of their skin. I do not recommend this place to any person of color. It really saddens me that there are people in this world that feel as if because I'm black I don't belong in a certain space. I pray that whatever hatred this woman has in heart against black people or women of color God heals you.
