Great fresh, locally roasted coffee. Amazing seating areas indoor and outdoors - great patio and overall an amazing vibe! Wish the menu included a few more specialty lattes and the bathroom needed a little bit of love. But staff was friendly and service was quick! Definitely recommend.

This is one of the best coffee shops I have been to. The coffee roast is simply amazing. well balanced, strong, roasted to a perfection that will not leave bitterness in your mouth. You can taste that it is organic. Even their flavors are excellent. The vanilla cappuccino had a amazing coffee with a subtle vanilla after taste that was just right. We got the flat white as well and it was one of the best we have had in CT. The monkey bread had the right amount of sugar, cinnamon, it was flaky outside and soft inside. Thank you for the amazing coffee. This is going to my list of coffee places to just visit.

Fantastic espresso drinks. Im so glad to have something close to home that isnt a gimic. This is good coffee with complexity.I ordered an oat milk Cortado this morning and it was everything.

I got takeout here and Coffee was good but the avocado toast was very bland and soggy. There really needed to be some seasoning in the avocado. At the very least some salt and garlic. Wouldn’t get it again.

Fantastic coffee with lots of vegan snacks! Wish I had found this Cafe sooner. It has a lovely open space with comfy chairs if you want a different place to read/work.

Coffee strong! Some may like it like that some may not. It’s good but way to expensive for the taste. Wasn’t that amazing for $7 coffee.

$11.25 for a Latte and a Chocolate Chip cookie... Good riddance Fairfield. That is ridiculous. Disgusted by the greed of some places.

Chill space with good music to do some homework or meet a friend over coffee. They make a great cappuccino and have yummy treats to go with it. Before covid I would visit often.

I’ve been in the area recently visiting family and came across this place. The coffee is incredible and the staff are so friendly! Bought a bag of the dark golden crema beans that were so good I went back to get more. Nice little outdoor space too so you can enjoy your coffee while social distancing.

Sorry to say....I was excited to try for the first time, and also bought a muffin and another pastry for friends. They were unbelievably stale, must have been sitting there for a week and I was embarrassed to have brought them. Please don’t serve old baked goods!

I first met the owner many years ago before the shop was open selling his fine coffee at whole foods one customer at a time. He has a passion for coffee that you notice when you walk in the door. The counter help is as passionate and the coffee delicious. Lots of room for laptops and conversation indoor and out. Highly recommended.

The atmosphere here is really great. If you want a cup of coffee to work this is the perfect place with lots of power outlets which is awesome. I was excited about a local coffee roaster but the coffee was only OK and I didnt really get any of the subtle flavors I was hoping for with the pour over.

Ordered a large iced coffee w 1 cream. The barista forgot to make my coffee, 2 people were served who ordered after me. Finally got my coffee and it tasted like half n half. $6.44 for a large cup of iced half n half.

I moved from Brooklyn to Greenwich about two years ago, and have been looking for a coffee shop like this ever since. Its worth driving to Fairfield just to sit, hang out with a laptop or book, and have their excellent coffee and pastries. Plus, they do all their own roasting, which is an added bonus. These folks care about their product, and the decor brings it all home.

Review №42

Almond milk + ice coffee = win in my book >w< 4.25$ seemed like a bit much though for 12 oz but it is a higher grade coffee compared to, for example, dunkin donuts where it would be 2.65$ for about the same amountThe staff is friendly, but not overly so which is really nice & I really do wanna go back some timeI love how I can have the receipt emailed me to in order to save paper & its interesting how their optional rewards system is connected to the credit/debit card you use - Im not sure how a lot of people will feel about that, especially older folks - I dont think I mind it

I absolutely loved the atmosphere in Shearwater! It is a great place to get work done and meet with friends! The coffee is really good- the only thing is that the menu is really small and so theres not a lot of options and theyre a little on the pricy side

I have been to Shearwater twice to do work. Both times I could not hear myself think because the music is so loud. I tried my best to block the loud music with my own music. I also had to step out to take a conference call. It was also very cold. Besides that the coffee is really good and it is a nice atmosphere.

I just moved upstairs across from Molto, and I was excited to start coming here daily before work. First AND second time today the people were so unfriendly it actually made me uncomfortable. No greeting me back and when I said thank you the girl just stared at me with a rude look on her face. Disappointed..Coffee is very good though.

I hate to not leave good reviews but stopped in Sunday with friends for a cool drink & we all got iced teas. They were expensive at $4 each & they were way over iced -- teas had no flavors. All were watered down. Staff had no personality either, not welcoming at all. Disappointing.

Yes its organic, but $5 for an average cup of coffee? I was a bit underwelmed. Go to Milkcraft next door and get ice cream instead.
