Shona’s Café

Here's what's actually in your cup. Our espresso is Caffe D'arte Coffee Roasters, roasted in Seattle, and the milk comes from TUNaWERTH Creamery, a local dairy we're chuffed to work with.

Same idea as everything else here: know where it comes from, and make it properly.

The Dirty Curty is pouring from 6 a.m., well before the queue's even thought about forming.

If you've ever driven I-5 wishing there was somewhere worth stopping between Portland and Seattle, here's your answer.

Just off Exit 79 you'll find hand-made meat pies, a proper cup of coffee, and a small crew who've been baking since before sunrise.

Doors open at 6. Come hungry.

We're starting the weekend early and giving Michelle and Meagan a break while we head south to Bend to enjoy some Black Label Society

See you bright and early Tuesday morning - have a great weekend!

A month of queues, menus, and why we do things the slow way. This week we're giving the explaining a rest. Here's some pie.

We’ve spent the month of September explaining why we do things the slow way, and here's where we land: yes, there's a queue, yes the menu's small, yes you have to show up for the meat pies in person. None of that is changing anytime soon, because it's the whole reason the food tastes like it does.

Missed the blog post on why we're staying small? Link's still up: https://shonascafe.com/blog/who-youre-really-supporting-when-you-eat-here?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=who-you’re-supporting

Planning your first trip to Shona's? A few things worth knowing: the queue gets thick at lunch so come early, meat pies sell out early, and yes, we take cash and card. Save this post so you're ready.

A little secret about the chai on our menu: it doesn't come from a warehouse. It comes from Jon and Jodi at Eufloria Botanica , who mill it fresh within 24 hours of us ordering it.

We like keeping the money we spend on ingredients close to home, with people who care as much about their craft as we do about ours.

Meet the family behind the golden chai at Shona's Café. Small-batch, hand-milled, and locally sourced by Eufloria Botanica in Lewis County, WA.

It's still just three of us back there most days, even with how busy it's gotten. This team has been an absolute rock through the rush. Come say hi next time you're in.

Quick refresher on how to-go orders work at Shona's. Baps, soups, salads and drinks are all made to order and you're welcome to phone ahead for those. Meat pies and pastries are the one exception, they're first come first served since we bake them fresh in small batches every morning.

Worth knowing before you plan your visit.
