Cool coffee in N. Canton, on Main St, just south of old Hoover building. A large selection of specialty coffee beverages and a selection of sweet treats to enjoy with your coffee. There is wifi available and comfortable seating available for impromptu business meetings. The price for medium latte was about $4. The hostess was helpful choosing the right strength of coffee.

Love the people that work here and the coffee and food! They have a unique selection of seasonal drinks that you can get both hot or cold! I have liked every drink that I have tried. The bagel sandwich that I tried was amazing and the cinnamon pastry warmed up was fabulous!

Very cool coffee shop! It’s a great option to take your laptop, do some remote work/studying with reliable wifi, great coffee, and a nice atmosphere. NOTE that access to outlets is limited and only some of the seating has close access to one.

The bf got a sandwich, he wasn't fond of it, but he stated the coffee was amazing. I didn't have anything because I'm picky on coffee syrups I use.

First time at Shale. Went to try the coffee flights. Loved Shale atmosphere, friendliness, coffee, and flights. The flights were not overly sweet like many coffee places. The roast flavor definitely came through. Tried Nutella, vanilla, cinnamon roll, and squirrel. Favorite= cinnamon roll. Also tried the babka baked good. Beautiful and delicious. I'll be back.

Was looking for a new place to have coffee during my latest visit back to Canton. Saw Shale in the listings and thought I’d give it a try. Very nice interior, friendly staff. I wish I had had time to stay and have a flight, but only had time for a to go. I finally settled on the Iced Buckeye Latte. Very good, although more ‘sweet’ flavor and not enough coffee flavor. If I go back I’ll probably add an extra shot of two. Overall a great place, would definitely return.

BEST matcha I've ever had! My husband and I have recently discovered Shale Coffee. Their drinks are wonderfully made. I included a picture of our matcha (perfectly blended) and Mississippi Mudslide drinks. We are very happy with their quality and service and will be repeat customers.

I'm new to the area and Shale has quickly become one of my favorite places to study, especially in the summer when they open the garage doors. I love that I can get the breeze and sunshine of being outdoors, but still be inside where the outlets are to charge my laptop, lol. The service there is incredible, the bathroom is spotless, dogs are very welcome, the atmosphere is perfect for socializing or studying, and the coffee is literally amazing! No complaints here!
