Shaughnessy Café is repeatedly described as a cozy, trendy spot with a warm, friendly staff and a welcoming vibe that makes it feel like a neighborhood favorite. The coffee program receives high praise for strong, aromatic brews, excellent lattes including oat milk options, and a large variety of beans, with some noting the cappuccino and chai lattes as standout. Pastries and light bites are frequently highlighted as fresh and delicious, while sandwiches and breakfast items are tasty, though a few reviews mention a croissant that fell short and occasional wait times or limited seating due to the small space. The ambiance is often called artsy and comfortable, with music, good lighting, and a productive or relaxed atmosphere, making it a popular spot for work, study, or casual visits. Wine nights and a diverse beverage selection beyond coffee add to the appeal, while the overall sentiment remains highly positive and people look forward to returning, citing consistent service, a charming neighborhood vibe, and the feeling of being well taken care of.

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
