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.

Their croissants are incredibly delicious. I really love the ambiance. I love their coffee too. Everything is perfect & there is a reason this cafe is well known.

I love almond croissants & latte - it's basically become my pre-work routine.

Excellent (albeit super tiny) cappuccino. However, the almond croissant was the worst ever croissant created. Soggy, no taste of almonds, no difference between crust & filling....& all this after asking if the croissant was fresh... I don't want to imagine what was a not fresh croissant.
With that, the salmon sandwich that my spouse had was great. Her espresso was also very good.

Coffee is amazing. I buy coffee from here at least twice a week. But stay away from the food. The croissant is quite bad. & other food items & are sub par too.

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
