The Shop

What an amazing local business! Such a great vibe and energy inside. I can only imagine how great it would be in the spring/summertime with the nice big garage doors open.

I got an iced white chocolate mocha and one of the most amazing sandwiches I've had in a long time! Nicely toasted, the pesto was amazing and the balsamic onions were the most amazing touch wow!

This was an amazing hit and I cannot wait to come back!

Coffee was great but unfortunately my bad review comes from the pastries. My mother in law ordered a scone, only to find a giant strand of hair baked in. Thinking to ourselves that we are all human and that things happen, we asked for a replacement scone only to find a huge hair baked into that one as well! Sad to say that was a major turn off for us all and we wont be going back.

Why YOU need to visit The Shop

1) Local business in the Perry Street District (amazing location)
2) Great food that has both Vegan and Gluten free options.
3) Friendly staff with a total PNW atmosphere.
4) Indoor and outdoor seating with shade.
5) FANTASTIC coffee and treats.
Personal favorite is the Coconut Cream Cake, taste like summer on the beach. And a cup of Coal Forge drip.
10/10 would visit again!

This is my favorite coffee hang out. I hadn't been in awhile so I grabbed a friend and we caught up over coffee on a beautiful fall morning.

The coffee is always the best. I had one of their specialty lattes and a gluten free cupcake which was delicious! It hit the spot.

They have some fun swag for purchase and the baristas are so friendly.

Located in the South Perry District. You can bring a book or grab an Inlander to read while you drink your coffee, have a cuppa with a friend, or grab some coffee to go and do some shopping in the area or head to the park.

Check 'em out!

Local recommendation for coffee in the Perry District. Ordered a almond flavored latte and an espresso shot. The guy working at the counter was very nice. Unfortunately for me the taste of the coffee beans was not to my liking. A cute spot for sure to catch up with friends or walk to in the neighborhood.

This is such an awesome place in South Perry district! I have only been here a couple times but I have loved it. The barista's are always friendly, and I never regret anything I order on the menu.

I feel like this is the kind of place that you would walk into for a coffee and come out with a date. They are so fun and chill and relaxed, you cant help but feel comfortable. They have great seats on the inside, and offer some nice background noise to a good conversation.

They change their hours on the days of the market which is a Thursday, but on every other day they open up pretty early in the morning and close around 9 PM. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, and even if you don't stay around, they are located in a great idea that is close to many more shops and restaurants. This is definitely one of the local favorites, and shouldn't be missed.

Covid time review:

Have not been able to eat-in for a while but we love The Shop. It's in the Perry district, so it's a nice stop while shopping. There is great local art on the walls. The service is friendly. Their hot drinks and gravity bowls are delicious. They have a great assortment of baked goods including for those with dietary restrictions. In normal times there will be live music on some weekends. Nowadays we get 2 GIANT cinnamon rolls for breakfast to go because hubby has cravings. Really looking forward to returning in-store.

I'm tired of supporting local places and being charged insane prices for mediocre food. A sandwich (which was supposed to be turned into a salad)... basic SMALL white bread, Turkey, a sauce, cheese and a little spinach. Chips were so greasy the napkins provided in the box were too soiled to use. There were more chips that sandwich ingredients in the box, too. I also ordered a black iced tea....tasted like mildew. I will not visit again.
My review is for the friendly employees.
Why didn't I say something? I drove away before I knew what was in there.

Fantastic customer service and the coffee is delicious. Great little walk in Perry District from our Airbnb. Highly recommend. I went around 830AM on a Sunday and only had to wait a few minutes for our coffees. We will be back!

I like the concept, and the atmosphere is promising. Food and drink were ok bordering or "good." Overall my poor rating comes down to cleanliness and speed.

It took 10 minutes to get my coffee and muffin after the first 10 minutes just to put in my order. There were only 5 people in line ahead of me. The neighborhood itself and it's denizens are partly to blame.

"Tell me about your carrot cake" the sun-hat wearing, zig-zag striped 30 something says. Tell me about your carrot cake!? Is this story time at the library? "What do you have with no dairy? Ohhh... I'm not sure Braxton could have that. Braxton, what do you think sweetie?" Kid, wildly swinging his toy Spider-Man like a blood-drunk Viking: "GARRHHH!!! KILL KILL DIE!!" Woman: "Oh... we'll give that a try I suppose. Tell me, if we don't finish all if it would it be possible to pack the remainder in a carton or container of some sort? Great. Great. So that's what Braxton will have... and for me... let's see...."

Such are the pitfalls of the Perry Neighborhood in the modern age. Please put another staff out there working the line. Just one dedicated staff who only fields questions about allergies, sensitivities, origins, genetic structure of particular grains, trade fairness, ethics, coffee horticulture and so forth. Call them a choice assistant. A coffee coach. A crumb cake consierge. Special Assistant to Especially Needy and Unjustifiably Wealthy Special People (SAENUWSP). I don't care! Just move them along or push them aside into a holding pen with club music and bubbles.

Whew. Sorry about that. The other thing is the cleanliness. This place looks like it hasn't had a deep cleaning in half a year. The filth is bad enough, but when the filth is resting on a solid layer of grime you've got problems. The flies were something awful. They had fly strips dangling directly over the dining space studded with dozens of the buggers. Yeesh. Maybe tuck those somewhere more discreet eh? I'm trying to enjoy my $8 worth of coffee and muffin.

Still! With all this said I would go back if they let me. Maybe I came at the very tail end of their bi-annual scrub n' scrape? Maybe there was an acute staff shortage to create that ungodly 20 minute wait for hot coffee and a ready-to-go muffin? The patio could be kinda nice in better days. If properly cleaned it would feel divey in a good way.
