Review Summary

Shaughnessy Café comes across as a cozy basement spot with a stylish vibe and attentive service, where reviewers praise strong coffee, well made pastries, and an inviting atmosphere that suits work or a relaxed visit. The space is described as cleverly designed with varied seating options and an elegant yet cozy ambience that fits a downtown neighborhood profile. The experience is generally positive for the coffee, pastries, and friendly staff, with some notes about occasional pastry freshness issues or slow cold brew service and a sense that some items may be pricey, but overall the cafe is regarded as worth a visit and even offers wine nights that add social appeal.

I've been coming to Shaughnessy for a few years now & I still think it's the best coffee shop around. The coffee is excellent & their Chai latte & London fog are the best I've had in the area by a mile. They have a big selection of pastries (always fresh & damn good) as well as food options (their breakfast sandwich, can be made w/o meat, is SO good & so is their chia pudding). The space is welcoming, has a great vibe, good music & is well set up for meeting up with friends or studying. The staff is dope & they have an amazing selection of beans, natural wines & coffee paraphernalia. Highly recommend!

Located next to the Forum & is in the basement floor. Although its easy to spot because of the big board. The interiors are done really nice. On a warm sunny day you can sit outside or you can sit & enjoy a book inside. We has a Croissant 🥐, Chocolatine, & 2 coffee. Total cam about ~ $18. The bakers item were fresh & coffee crisp. Surely recommend

Great coffe place. Have a nice range of coffee & coffee accessories they sell online & in-store. They keep only top end micro torréfacteur. Mostly medium to light roast. But very well made, not overly acid the texture is not very syrupy most likely due the kind of beans used. Would go again & great place to buy high end filters.
