The Shop

The Shop is an earthy coffeehouse in the Perry District with a metallic-vintage-meets-DIY-garage-hangout-meets-cabin-in-the-woods milieu. Owner Yvonne Archer zeros in on serving healthy and largely allergen-free food. Most of the desserts are gluten-free and vegan, as are many of the items in the cold case, such as the truly dreamy "dream bar.". There are homemade breakfast cookies, quiches, quinoa salads, sandwiches, veggie burgers and locally made ice cream, among other offerings. Of course there’s coffee, but there’s also beer (including a gluten-free brew), wine (with organic and sulfite-free options), mimosas and honey-sweetened lemonade. The fridge is even stocked with probiotic coconut water and kombucha. (June 2013)
