With a unique and fun variety of drinks, calm atmosphere, and good service, Shade Cafe is a local spot I'd recommend for caffeine lovers to try. I thought the Jack Attack was delicious and also enjoyed the iced Americano I tried. The main downside is that the drinks seem to be a bit pricey in comparison to other shops, and it is incredibly quiet inside, so if you stay with friends, your conversations can be heard through the whole store. Overall, if you are looking for a quiet place to enjoy a coffee and finish an essay, Shade Cafe is worth a try read more

I enjoy Shade. Always have. But in the last six to twelve months things have changed. Perhaps these sorts of things have always existed and they are now just more pronounced; perhaps not. In no particular order: -The prices have continued to climb and climb and climb some more. Today I ordered an iced dirty soda (16 ounce), the same one I have ordered since November. Back in November (with my membership code) it cost $1.65. Today, it was $5.65 (before tax). I'll let you do some quick math, but that is an astronomical increase in just a little over six months. -Though not the end of the world, they eliminated a drink size. Used to be able to get a 20 ounce; now it is either 16 or 24 ounce. Sort of a bummer. -Do they serve food or not? Who knows! Over the last few years they have gone from offering lunch items to not offering lunch, back to offering lunch, now back to not offering lunch. Had a meeting there with a guy earlier this year who summed it up best: "It's a cafe but I can't order a sandwich? That's peculiar..." -Not only do the prices continue to increase, they also fluctuate. I always order the same drink and same size, but depending on who takes the order, the price changes - sometimes rather significantly. I swear I've paid a dozen different totals in the last six months, all owing to whoever is in the window when I come through. -Finally, the communication between the owner and employees appears to be quite poor. I could give a handful of examples but this is the most recent. I went today, July 3, 2024, to get my drink and inquire about their hours tomorrow, on the Fourth of July. The poor girl in the window didn't know if they were open for the holiday or not, and said she'd have to wait to hear from the manager. Another quick example would be the membership discount, which apparently has expired. This 10% discount apparently expired a few weeks back. Well, I've probably gone to Shade four or five times since then, and every time, the girl in the window can't find the discount code. After a few minutes of inquiry, she discovers the membership discount has expired. Shouldn't your employees already know this? Shade used to be a cool spot with an inviting atmosphere where you could get a decent drink for a fair price. But now that it is nearly $6 for a soda can, I'm compelled to frequent significantly less, or perhaps, not at all. PS: I gave a low food score because it is a cafe that doesn't actually offer food... read more

Shade Cafe has exceptionally good coffee - I'm not sure what they do differently but it's very smooth and really good! They also have an endless variety of soda options. The specialty sodas on the menu are delicious, or you can mix and match to come up with your own new favorite. Check them out! read more

Great drinks, awesome staff. Highly recommend!!! Cute little shop. I have been ordering DoorDash but stopped there last week to check out the shop. read more

I've had great service every time I have been. The drinks are fun and taste great. The look and feel of the space was nice as well.

Tried the Rosebud... usually I'm a Dutch girly but this has changed me to a shade girly. Food is astounding and the entire vibe was so fire I will NOT go to any other cafe ever again Service was amazing! In and out so fast! These workers knew how to work it read more

Love ordering takeout from Shade! Drinks are great and the food is yummy. Has been our go to for energy at work! Definitely a must try.

Words can not describe how much I love this place. The drinks are super affordable, delicious, and quickly made. The cafe itself is well decorated, very clean, and a cozy place to hang out. It's often quiet and peaceful and just the ideal place to be. The staff are amazing, super friendly, and cheerful, creating an overall lovely atmosphere. Save your money from places like Starbucks and support local at the Shade Cafe! read more

Potato chips were fresh and we had a strawberry Italian soda it's really good. Service was really good. Server was very polite we will recommend the Café thank you read more

Meh mediocre... coffee is bland and over priced. Food is decent but once again overpriced and the amounts are always different. Staff isn't very welcoming and friendly and act like they don't care to be there or assist others. Always seems to be a new face which is probably why the pricing is inconsistent. read more

Just recently started trying this place and I love the coffee and drinks! Highly recommend!

I love their coffee!!! Started going here regularly after roasters switched and no longer had white chocolate powder for lattes!!! Their coffee is so good and not bitter and perfect flavoring! I have not tried the food but it also looks amazing!!! read more

It's a cute place I give it that. The "fancy avocado" toast was mediocre. Toast was two small pieces of white bread that were barely toasted and some premade guacamole spread, Parmesan, pesto aioli (weird) red peppers, and red onion. Did not feel well afterward. Will I go back? Probably for drinks only. read more

Great drinks. Great avocado toast! Took my 3 kids with me. My son picked a huckleberry Italian soda. My older daughter chose blue raspberry Italian soda and my younger daughter picked a kiwi and pineapple Italian soda. I had a decaf rochamocha. My kids loved their drinks. I loved my coffee. Everyone raved about the avocado toast. We will return again! read more

The best avocado toast EVER!!!!!!! Highly recommend! Super cute and clean. Coffee are also fun and yummy

Got 2 iced drinks and my total was over $18?? Sat in the drive through for 10+ mins for them to hand me a blended drink instead of iced so I asked them to remake it and their response was sighing and rolling eyes. I then called manager and got told "we're human." I will not be returning, very disappointed. read more

Texted, emailed and reached out on Instagram for a response from the owner/manager. Still no answer after waiting a week. Menu posted is with inaccurate prices, and the lower prices advertised were not honored. Service is super slow. Won't be back :( read more
