Shaker Dam Coffeehouse

We were driving from Hartford to Boston and needed a quick bite and some coffee. We decided to look up a coffee place and we just had to stop at this one because of the reviews and the environment of this place. We entered and it felt so homely and cozy. It was a good find and Kim was so gracious. She was a wonderful and warm host and it looked like most of the town people knew her. The gallery is full of paintings, books and comfortable furniture. There’s a steam that flows by the backyard of the house and it felt peaceful to sit on the chairs there as well. We had the four-berry pie, the chocolate whoopee pie and the iced coffee (which brews for 12 hours which was almost out by the time we got there! It was only 11:30am). This is a hidden treasure and hopefully this place gets more popularity!

A quiet and welcoming oasis featuring delicious coffee, fresh baked goods and a fabulous and attentive staff. The cafe is cozy and artful and the patio with river views is one of my favorite spots to write, rest, meet or visit with friends.

Loved this coffee shop!! First enjoyed looking at the talent of the photographer. Beautiful and touching photos. The shop has an array of options to sit and enjoy your coffee inside or outside. I enjoyed the iced coffee which brews for 10 hours. Excellent and complex flavor, just added a touch of milk and it was perfect!! Looks like a great place to study, think or meet up with a friend.

This is a not to be missed coffee house. The setting is tranquil. The pie is to die for. Lemonade that is perfectly made. The best over all coffee house experience I have ever had. Take a detour if you have to to stop in. Outside seating or indoor parlour like accommodations. This will be a must for me anytime I'm even close.

Came across this place while driving from NY to Boston. So glad we made the stop. Perfect place to stop in for a cup of coffee or tea and enjoy a home baked sweet. And as an added bonus you can enjoy absolutely amazing photographs of a National Geographic Photographer. Absolutely beautiful. If you are in the area, do yourself a favor and stop in.
