    the menu and prices
    John M.

    It's 82° out and there is no other place I'd rather be than sitting here at Shale Craft Coffee with a really good cold brew, the bay windows open, a cool breeze blowing and a good book. I typically don't get cold brew coffee because many places don't do a good job brewing the coffee but this cold brew is really good. At the time of this review Shale is serving Deeper Roots coffee from Cincinnati who does a great job roasting craft coffee. Shale uses a La Marzocco espresso machine but I'm not sure what the brew batch brews with. Their menu has coffee drinks, non-coffee drinks, espresso drinks, signature drinks, and pastry items. The decor industrial and rustic. I love the patio and bay windows letting in lots of light and expanding the space. The music is an assortment of popular hits.

    London Fog tea
    Steve S.

    I'm not a coffee drinker, but when friends want to meet and chat here, then you go. I like that it's 40 seconds from my house. I also like the atmosphere. I would imagine it's roomier in warmer weather when the doors are open. My friend liked his London Fog tea. The chai was ok, not great. I've become somewhat of a chai snob, this one seemed more foamy. I'll come again, just maybe try a different tea.

    Outside with my drink!

    Such a cute place with a great menu of coffee offerings! Shale was recommended to me by a friend and it did not disappoint. On this chilly autumn morning I was thrilled to walk inside and see a menu full of fall specials. I opted to create my own this time, and ordered a latte with brown sugar cinnamon and pumpkin with coconut milk (they have coconut, oat, and almond for non dairy options) and it was cozy in a cup. The staff was very friendly too, giving me the rundown and making recommendations when I said it was my first time in. I definitely look forward to trying another drink next time I'm in the area!

    Sweet 16 Latte and a Banana Nut Muffin
    Cody C.

    Checked this place out on a cool Sunday afternoon. It's a cute little shop and the service good. Everyone was very polite and patient with us. The coffee was pretty good. overall the flavor was good. 8/10. my muffin was okay. i was a bit disappointed because they use banana flavoring instead real bananas. my girl had a cinnamon muffin and it was very good. Her drink the "oatmeal cookie latte" was good also, it reminded us of the brown sugar oat milk shaken espresso from starbucks. i would definitely recommend this place and we will definitely be back. they even have a drive thru and outdoor seating which were very nice also.

    Salted caramel latte

    I tried their salted caramel latte and really loved it. They chairs aren't the most comfortable for long periods of studying but I love the light that comes in from the windows and the vibe of this place. The staff was very inviting and friendly.

    Nice quaint micro brewery / coffee house in the booming refurbished Oakwood Plaza. Solid assortment of home brewed beers at a very reasonable craft price of $5 a pint. Apparently they couldn't quite get the mesquite barbecue right so took it off the menu. Can't hold that against them! All three of us ordered different items and they were great. My Shrimp on a bed of risotto with jalapeños slaw was outstanding. Again, reasonable pricing on food too. Anna was friendly and helpful - she will be a great PT! When the wait at the others plaza restaurants is longer than 15 minutes - do yourself a favor and head over to Shale Brewing!

    Brisket biscuit

    This was my first visit but certainly won't be my last. Stopped in for coffee and sandwiches on their first day serving breakfast. The service was quick, coffee and latte were both delicious. The breakfast sandwiches tasted amazing - fresh, amazing flavors, substantial portions. Can't wait to return for their seasonal drinks and to try the other sandwiches. Great addition to Oakwood Square.

    Amazing service, coffee, and food! Smoked meat sandwiches are delightful. Ask for drink suggestions and the barista will have many!

We sat outside on the upper patio and there were servers that checked on other tables but didn't check on us. Not sure if it's because we carried our food and drinks up from the counter ourselves or how that works. Two of us ordered the lucky charm matcha (good luck charm?), the description sounded amazing. The actual drink was less so, just matcha and oat milk and whipped cream- when I asked about the lucky charm marshmallows I was told they have been out of them for weeks. I might've ordered a different drink if I'd known that, it sort of sold me! The food was good, we ordered the dumplings, cinnamon roll, raspberry rhubarb pop tart, and tiramisu. The best thing of all was the cinnamon roll, the tang of the cream cheese icing kept everything from being too sweet. The tiramisu was beautiful presented and the cream was fantastic, the lady fingers were over soaked in strong espresso, we couldn't finish that element. The pop tart was lovely. Couldn't tell if the dumps were frozen or homemade but they tasted good, and we loved the carrot salad they came with. All in all a great experience, and will be wonderful to return to in this warm season with such a nice double decker patio!

While our server was very kind, we asked several questions about the products that he had no idea how to answer. We ordered the bacon wrapped dates specifically because they said they had chorizo and manchego - which sounded interesting - but when we mentioned to the waiter that they were just dates and bacon he looked at us confused and said they should have been stuffed. They weren't. We also ordered the hummus plate that did not come with near enough hummus for the pita and veggies. When we asked if we could get more hummus he said we'd have buy another plate. I get it, but get your proportions at least close. We really came for the bourbon. The single barrel was quite good... but at $95 we could not pull the trigger. I'm sure some tourists will.

But we thought we would try it for coffee and breakfast. Not so great.... The serivce was really slow. We had a very long wait.. 15+ mins for drinks, and about another 15-20 mins on food. Only had 1 person taking orders and ringing people up. Should have had 2 people, Only had 1 person to make the drinks. Should have 2. And to top it off, after waiting that long, not really busy. The food and drink was just mediocre. Would be back for evening drinks and music but not coffee and a muffin for breakfast.
