    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

    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!

The four cheese melt was kind of a disappointment. I was expecting a nice thick gooey grilled cheese with a juicy big slice of tomato. It was still tasty, but wow not what I was expecting. The tomato slice with thin and had to glance up close to see multiple cheeses. The Cajun red beans and rice was impressive. However, be prepared for heartburn later with the delicious Cajun flavoring and andouille sausage. The nacho basket starter is a puzzler to be honest. The queso was absolutely delicious and flavorful, the chips were good, but what makes it a nacho basket? The jalapeños seem random even though they had a kick. As with most of my reviews, make sure you check out the reward account and make sure your app is current.

It's $11.99 for just 6" and a cheap bag of lays potato chips and this sad pickle. That's a lot for the small amount of food that you get. And yes, that does NOT include a drink. Nearly $16 with a drink. Now let's talk food. The French dip was so tough that after the first bite I didn't want to eat anymore of it. The pickle, again, was sad. The only reason I'm giving it 2 stars is because the au jus was actually good. Thankfully they gave me a ton of it because I needed it to drown the leather beef in so I could chew it. This could have been much better.

    I've been meaning to swing by Angello's 2 Go for a while now -- and after finally checking it out,…read morelet me just say: I should've come sooner. This spot may be compact, but it packs the kind of flavor and hospitality that earns a permanent spot in the rotation. I was greeted right away by an incredibly friendly staff member who set the tone for the visit. Even better? A couple of folks were already waiting on their orders and started raving about their go-to favorites. When regulars hype a place unprompted, that's always a good sign. The interior is bright, clean, and has that cool chalk-art wall bursting with personality -- pizzas, eggplants, peppers, the whole Angello's vibe. Between the brick-bottom ovens and the steady flow of takeout orders, you can tell this place is legit. After hearing it recommended more than once, I went with the famous Pasquale's Italian sub -- and wow. Absolute sandwich excellence. The roll alone is worth talking about: Fresh. Soft. Crispy. Literally one of the best sub rolls I've had anywhere. It held up beautifully -- no soggy collapse, even with a generous amount of toppings. Inside, the layers stack up like an Italian deli greatest-hits playlist: thin-sliced meats, crisp lettuce, melty cheese, tomatoes, peppers, and that signature sauce that ties it all together without overwhelming the bread. The flavors play perfectly together -- absolutely craveable. While I only grabbed the sub this time, I've gotta highlight one thing Angello's is known for: their brick-bottom oven pizza. According to a feature on the shop, this style gives their pies a crispy, old-school, no-shortcut kind of finish that fans swear by. It's got that classic, slightly blistered crust that only a brick oven can make happen. Great service. Friendly staff. Killer sub. And a vibe that feels like a neighborhood staple in the making. I'll definitely be adding Angello's 2 Go to my regular rotation -- and next time, that pizza is calling my name. If you're anywhere near the area, do yourself a favor and check this spot out. Your taste buds will thank you.
