I've been this place a few times to buy beans & they have great selection. However recently I ordered a cold brew & waited 8 people in front of me. Cold brew should be premade & super fast. But I waited, I thought barista is taking time to make it. But it turned out that they missed. No serious apologies. Very dispointed. Would want to sit down & enjoy the coffee but didn't have any mood anymore. Bye

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!

I liked this cafe. There was a good selection of pastries & drinks, it seemed to be a good place to study judging from the number of people doing it. The service was really good & I enjoyed my London fog. The tables could have been a little cleaner but other than that it was good.

Amazing espresso. Most unique tasting beans I’ve had so far. Great minimalist atmosphere. Selection of local wine available for purchase too. Baristas are kind. Usually busy with students, & since the place is smaller, only accommodates a few. Don’t let that deter you from coming to get a cup on the go!
