    Coffee flight. My favorite was the Coconut Rose. Top left.
    Christine B.

    I drove by and immediately wanted to stop in. I love trying local coffee shops. They are setup in an old car shop. They only had one person working and she was busy but super nice and helpful. She did her best to work quickly and was friendly to everyone. They have a ton of drink options: espresso drinks, iced and hot coffees. I tried the flight (see attached). My mom got the peanut butter mocha (buckeye mocha I think) and really liked it. My favorite by far was the coconut rose. There was burnt coconut on top. The honey lavender was good too. I love spicy drinks (hot cocoas, margaritas, etc) but the spicy mocha was too spicy. I didn't finish it. Also, I'd note that four drinks was too much for me. Admittedly it wasn't my only coffee of the day but I think it was a little more than I needed.

    the menu and prices

    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

    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.

    Shrimp over risotto and bed of jalapeño slaw.

    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!

    You would never believe that this space used to house a golf simulator experience…read more We came here for coffee on a busy Sunday morning. The line from the counter stretched all the way back to the door, which gave us plenty of time to people watch and admire the beautiful space after picking our drinks. The baristas were friendly and welcoming. The line was moving slowly - a combination of people asking questions and an ordering process that seems a little inefficient (we noticed they were tracking available pastries on Post-It notes). Our drinks were available quickly, and they were delightful. I had the spiced orange chai with oatmilk and my husband had a gingerbread latte. My chai was sweeter than I would prefer, but now I know that for next time. Everything in the pastry case looked incredible. We passed this time because we had finished breakfast. I'd be interested in coming back in the evening to try some of the cocktails. I think they have some kinks to work out when they're busy; overall, it was a good experience. Union Park is a nice addition to the Belden area!

    This morning right after the gym, I had to check this place out! The front half is a coffee bar,…read moreand the back half changes into a full bar later in the day. Around 6pm the coffee side shuts down and it shifts. Coffee was fantastic, the space feels comfortable, and the homemade pastries... unreal. They look phenomenal and taste the same. If you're anywhere near the area, give this place some love. It's a local business doing things right, and I'll definitely be back.

    Yes. Good doughnuts…read moredon't need long detailed reviews. So, this one will be short. Located close to the location of a large meeting I was part of, I was easily able to pick up 2 dozen donuts on the morning of my meeting. The extremely nice woman behind the counter hooked me up with two boxes of assorted heaven. As an avid donut eater and a bit of a connoisseur of mans most delightful creation, DDandC nailed it. Fresh, good ingredients and a lot to choose from. The two dozen doughnuts that I brought in to my meeting were essentially demolished. As I was not local, the people who were local were extremely interested in knowing where I picked them up and I happily told them. A few had even mentioned being there before and some even planning to go. would I go back? 100%. Whenever possible, I bring a box or two of doughnuts to customers. When I do, I make it count and the people notice. When they see that I've actually searched out for a really good local doughnut shop, they appreciate that and take note. I'm not bringing in your fast-food donut places garbage "donuts" either. I'd rather bring nothing at all if I can't get the goods. And I will travel early in the morning, just to get high quality doughnuts. Got get some of these right now!

    They have a variety of super unique donuts along with the classics! My favorite is their CREAM…read moreSTICK BITES! Never seen anyone else do it and they have every flavor frosting on them, they keep me coming back every week.
