It is a great space to meet up with friends or bring your laptop and get some work done. The staff is amazing. They all were so friendly and helpful. Customer service is top notch. They answered a lot of the questions I had and walked me through some of their menu items. I ordered the peach mango matcha and Caesar salad. First of all, they have the best Caesar salad I have ever had in my life. I don't usually get excited over a salad but this one was so good I can't even believe how tasty it was. The peach mango matcha was so pretty I didn't want to drink it but it was well made and so refreshing on this hot day. I went later in the afternoon so all the pastries were already gone. I will definitely have to go back early and try some. The turkey and brie sandwich was very delicious. Made for a good light lunch. Pleasantly surprised at this coffee shop and adding to my list of go to places.

I came here on Labor Day to do work and I had to share a table with someone else who was also there doing work, because it was packed (which is a good thing! Yay for supporting local).

Upon entering, one can walk right up to the ordering counter. They have a standard coffee and tea menu, specialty drinks, seasonal drinks, and some pastries for purchase. Their specialty/seasonal drinks aren't posted outside of the register so I recommend looking online as a preview if needed. I got the Funky Monkey as the barista said it was their most popular seasonal drink. I loved the subtle banana flavor and slightly sweet notes. The espresso is also house roasted and great quality. My husband tried their Chai Latte which was okay. We also shared an Old Fashioned donut which had great flavor. Coffee flavors definitely seem to be their sweet spot!

I inquired of staff that if they're always sold out why they don't just make more With attitude she said to me "well we always sell out at seven in the morning." I was then informed, that if they made more, they would just sell out at 7 AM anyhow, and that I should show up before 7 AM to get in line before they open. If you regularly run out of a product, a smart business person would make more. Overall, when I've had them their products are good. The breads and pastries are awesome However, the snarky attitude from the staff is unacceptable. I will definitely minimize the number of times I come to the store because of their frequent morning stockouts on products.

It had such a nice aroma, wasn't overly sweet, and the texture was perfectly soft. Maybe I just got lucky that day, but the scone was clearly freshly baked. I saved some for later, and when I ate the rest around 9 p.m., it was still moist and soft! Most scones would have already gotten dry and crumbly by then. Unfortunately, I don't think the coffee drinks here are as good as they used to be. Now they're more like... just alright coffee. I used to be a big fan of the old version Coco Brew. I tried their Old Maple Brew, but I wasn't impressed. The iced matcha was also just okay, nothing really better than what you'd get at Starbucks. But I'd absolutely come back for that scone! (And please don't change the recipe this time. Still mourning for the old version of Coco Brew. ) I also tried their Quiche. It tasted good and the out layers were crispy. You might want to ask the cashier to warm it for you; they don't always offer it voluntarily. This season it was very nice to sit at their outside tea tables, especially around noon or early afternoon. The shades and the sunlight would bring nice dapples.

Not too hot that it burned my tongue, but definitely a nice warm beverage to take on my trek up to north campus. I appreciated the chef himself taking the time to explain to me the ratios of what went into my coffee. I am currently feeling buzzed by the espresso proportion and recommend this coffee for the energy to do your work, as I ran all the way back from north campus for no reason. The ambiance of cafe Shepard was eclectic and sophisticated yet still understated. 10/10

The baristas looked genuinely surprised to have customers walk in -- lobby wasn't clean yet and the whole place had that "we're not really open" energy. Not a great first impression when you're relying on an early coffee stop.

Will probably give them another shot, but show up a little later next time.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

They will keep telling you this multiple times which you keep on telling them know if you want a regular macchiato. There was not a proper designated spot or a sign to pick up your coffee. It is a nice spot to chill and relax. Just wish they put calorie count or something on the menu when trying to consume these items. Mostly like a cafe main focus is the food not the drinks
