Ambiance is wonderful. Cafe is part of Family Tree Nursery. Greeneries inside and out, outside patio seating. Merchandise consist of interesting items like unique red herbal and tonic teas. Barista was pleasant, went straight to making the drink within minutes. They have loyalty program which you can sign up for. The 8 oz hot dirty chai I ordered was $7, little pricey and too strong of espresso taste thus the 4 stars!
I love Cafe Equinox and the nursery. I enjoy the coffee and I love the atmosphere. I find it super relaxing to work, talk, or just hang out.
This is a very interesting coffee shop, because it is in a nursery. There is a little bar to sit at and a little outdoor patio in the front on the building by the coffee shop. Upon arriving there was one couple in front of me, the one staff member looked a little overwhelmed and it took her a bit to get the orders and get them out. There was a good size line by the time I got my drink. I didn't know anything about the two sitting areas in the nursery that you can sit and hangout while drinking your coffee or just walk around and look at plants. I had even mentioned it was my first time there.
I wanted to update my review after going to Café equinox many times, usually at least once a week. The coffee is wonderful and so are there other items, I love their garden seating. So no complaints with the product or space itself. The one thing that needs to be improved upon is the friendliness or the lack thereof with welcoming business attitude towards the customers. Quite a few of them are generally unfriendly and barely speak up upon coming up to take your order. Barista service is a major point with people returning to a business and the only reason I'm keeping it a four stars is because of the lovely seating area and the quality product.
I've known about Cafe Equinox for an embarrassing amount of time without venturing here. First of all, it's not too far from my house, and secondly, it's such a unique and damn near perfect concept for a coffee shop that I wish I'd come here sooner. When you walk into Family Tree Nursery you'll find a small cafe to the right with bar service. I ordered my drink, and sat down to get some work done. I did see a sign for additional seating but wasn't sure where it was so just took an open spot in front of me. It should be noted that the coffee I had was incredible. The space was calming (being within the walls of a nursery) and the barista friendly. After I finished my work I decided to explore a bit, as I was I found the additional seating and boy did I make a mistake not sitting there. The bulk of the seating is within the greenhouse and it's scattered amongst big beautiful tropical plants. On a winter day, this is a dream. The only thing I didn't care for at this location was the very loud religious undertones that the nursery displays. It's something I can overlook for a good cup of coffee and beautiful atmosphere though.
Flowers & Coffee - yes please! Located inside the Shawnee Family Tree Nursery. Serving up Thou Mayest coffee that is rich, bold and full of flavor. They have unique lattes that are fitting for its aesthetic. Love this garden oasis.
Had a great time enjoying a beverage in the greenhouse before wandering around and nabbing plants on my mom's list! Absolutely recommend the brown sugar cinnamon latte. I got mine iced with bee pollen! The staff is kind at the coffee shop, and around the nursery! Always have a personable and sunshine-y experience here!
Love love love! A plant nursery and a cafe all in one. Such a cute spot to grab a coffee, browse for plant gifts and meet up with a friend. The outdoor/indoor seating area is wonderful, we went on a cold rainy day and as soon as we stepped inside it felt like we were transported to a tropical oasis ;-). It was warm, bright and beautifully decorated with plants, modern chairs and decor. There was lots of space to sit and the way everything is laid out you still feel like you can have some privacy while chatting or if you wanted to feel like you weren't in a crowded place. I ordered a lavender bee pollen latte. Tasted really nice. Quality. Baked goods weren't available when we went but I'm sure those are delicious as well. Will definitely be coming back here again.
Very nice peaceful and love the decor. Hibiscus Tea was delicious Walked around the outside areas and tree landscape area. Very clean and everyone's so helpful.
Cute cafe place inside this beautiful nursery place. Went here to enjoyed and check out the plants. It's pretty cold outside but they made it nice and warm for the plants and human beings. A good place to work, coffee date, group hangout, or just for yourself. Love all the poinsettia and Christmas cactus. Tis the season. Line was short at the cafe. Plenty of seatings. Lots of merch and plants to buy.
Is there a more relaxing and glorious place to drink coffee? Nope! This is the jackpot of coffee shops! The chai I ordered was delicious and my toddlers both loved their blueberry poptarts. The best part was that we enjoyed our snacks in a warm greenhouse, surrounded by plants, and where there were birds to gobble up the inevitable crumbs. Loved every second of our visit and we will be back many time this Winter!
Happened to visit on the 60th anniversary weekend! Lucky me, it was perfect weather and there was so much excitement throughout the whole store. It was a little too noisy for me to study since of the event, so I didn't stay long. But I did walk out with a new pot for my plant--they also drill drainage holes for free through any pot which was so nice! I'd love to come back and visit for much longer next time. Beautiful store, seating, and so much to enjoy here!
Café equinox and family tree nursery is where sadness goes to die during the winter. If you're experiencing any seasonal affective sadness or just need to pick me up in this cold weather, this is your heaven. I grabbed myself a Harvest Moon latte and indulged in the free potting weekend family tree (ends Dec 18). And all my woes melted away. The transformation of this nursery and Cafe over the last year is mine blowing. They've opened the seating up so much and added this new bar, which is so great. During the winter, you can see how big the seating is in the greenhouse as well. I will be spending so much more time here!!

I had a most heartbreaking message from a friend this week. i learned that my dear friend's 16-year-old favorite nephew was killed in an accident in Guanajuato, MX. I asked if we could meet over the weekend for coffee as we do several times per year, he answered; "of course, but find us a place with an outdoor courtyard". That is how he and his nephew Nicholas would spend each morning - drinking coffee and tea outside in a beautiful courtyard, when my buddy visited his family each year. Of course, I knew we had to meet at Cafe Equinox in Shawnee. And so, we did meet there today. My buddy with a single origin cup of drip and me with an iced "Golden Hour" off of their Fall Seasonal menu - honey, turmeric, sea salt with espresso and milk - fantastic. We took our drinks to the cafe section of the greenhouse, found a quiet table amongst the foliage and flowering plants and he shared beautiful stories of his beloved "Niquito". From gritty daily life challenges of being a teen in current day rural Mexico to the magical surrealism of events that has impacted my friend since the tragic news broke. Thank you, Cafe Equinox / Thou Mayest and Family Tree Nursery for an idyllic spot to share stories and tears amongst your perfectly curated greenhouse cafe.

My wife and I came here for ideas for our garden and I was blown away! So many beautiful plants, items to shop for inside, a lovely cafe, and outdoor seating among some of the plants. It's a great feeling and a very enjoyable place to be. The staff was extremely helpful in providing us with information on different plants. I got a coffee to go from the cafe and it was the best lavender latte I've ever had. Can't wait to return here. read more

Popped in for a coffee and a change of work scenery. The coffee menu was impressive and had some unique and fun flavor options. The barista was really friendly and helped explain some of the different drink options while I mulled over the options. I went with the Pollinator Lavender Latte and loved the light lavender flavor with a hint of sweet honey and bee pollen. I'll definitely be back for another soon. There are a ton of different seating options within the greenhouse which makes it an ideal setting if you're catching up with friends, needing a fresh work space, or just wanting to get your daily dose of caffeine and chlorophyll. read more
The cutest coffee shop and nursery in the city. Whenever I'm sitting outside, I feel like i'm in a Rainforest due to the numerous plants and beautiful scenery. I love doing homework here because it's so peaceful and you can buy a plant on your way out! read more
Oh my word. I will be returning 10,000x more. This place is so dangerous if you love to get a coffee & browse! I have tons of plant loving friends, and with a little caffeine in my body I was adventuring through every greenhouse with excitement. This is such an amazingly cool concept & I spent so much money happily! I look forward to bringing all of my plant loving friends here to share the excitement! read more

My husband and I are coffee fanatics. He found this after doing some research about some shops in the area. This place was SO cute! I loved it. The coffee itself tastes great. The shots they pulled didn't taste burnt at all like they can get from chain places and the flavor in my latte was amazing! Pricing wise, the coffees are also cheaper than most chain places! AND--to top it all off, you can enjoy your coffee with some greenery? It's definitely a place to visit if you're in the area! We'll be back. read more
Always count on a relaxing visit to Cafe Equinox. I didn't care for the Sparkling Matcha Limeade, as the taste of Matcha was too strong for my liking (more Limeade please!). But the Christmas decorations throughout the store and the abundance of plants throughout the greenhouse make for a beautiful and rejuvenating visit. There are cute tables and seating areas to relax and/or study as well. Must visit! read more

I can't think of anything better than great coffee and plant shopping! I ordered the Pollinated Lavender Latte which I thought was tasty. Definitely not my everyday drink but I enjoyed it. read more
