S&S Artisan Pub and Coffeehouse

Maybe it was the time of day, but it was reallllly warm from the sun glare. That may actually make it appealing to others, but I was uncomfortably warm. (6/7pm)
It was also hard to relax and enjoy the drink and atmosphere because this one employee kept pacing and pacing. As far as I could tell, he wasn't doing anything but glaring at me every time he walked by, which was practically every 15 seconds. I kept thinking, dude, find something to dust or clean or something. I finally left. I would have stayed, ordered another coffee, but that guy made me uncomfortable.

Love this place. Even though we live east of ottawa, I and my grandpa will be coming back. Dec. 16 5 pm. The owners Shaun and lori treated us like old friends. They make everyone fee right at home. Go check it out. It's fun!

I've bee a barista for awhile now so naturally I like to hunt down good coffee when I come to visit my girlfriend, and out of every where I've tried so far, this is easily the best coffee in Lawrence! Also great food too, very satisfying and doesn't make you feel sluggish.

Alas the only complaint I have is the internet isnt good enough to play online minecraft, but that's alright considering you'll spend most of the time really savoring their drinks.

Living in Lawrence, one of the things I missed most about my hometown of Edmonton, AB, was the coffeehouse community vibe -- where you could grab your work and spend an afternoon enjoying delicious caffeinated beverages, and follow it into an evening of live local music or a philosophical discussion with the neighbour or labmate who just happened to wander in. Shaun's seems like it's going to have that vibe, and I'm only sad that I won't be in Lawrence in half a decade to see how this place has grown into a natural niche. This is the coffeehouse I've been trying to find in Lawrence for nearly 7 years.

The space is open, with a clean, homey-industrial feel (I know that's an oxymoron -- but trust me on this). Exposed, painted ductwork, good lighting (soft for the most part), and comfy seating. The wood tones throughout lend a natural elegance.

Coffee-wise, I've tried 'Lori's Blend' today, and it's very nice; I'm looking forward to trying the menu, and investigating espresso-based drinks. Service was prompt, friendly, and Shaun himself greeted me and made me feel instantly welcome here, including assuring me that this space is laptop/work-culture friendly. We had a great conversation about his vision for this space, and I'm so excited to see how it progresses.

So far, this is like coming home.

4.5 stars..would give full 5 if had a better beer selection AND was open on Sunday. Push back on the distributors..don't need to see the usual Anheuser-Busch products at a cool place like this.

Am lovin this new place! Spinach Tortilla wrap rocked—all fresh ingredients and good pesto! My latte was perfect! Can’t beat the ambience!

Ordered Bruschetta. Asked for mozzarella, which was listed on the menu. They said it was 6 pieces. It came with feta, and was only 4 pieces ("sorry, the mozzarella on the menu is a typo, it should say feta" and "sorry, our bread this time was extra big so only 4 pieces "). I ate it because I was was hungry and don't like to waste food, but seriously, feta on bruachbrus overwhelms all the other flavors, and most of all, tell me the truth when I order. Not impressed with the lack of basic service, so won't come again or recommend. Gave it two stars because the chai tea was pretty decent.

S&S executes the anti-social environment of an untraveled pub with the repudiative attitude of a snobbish, bourgeois coffeehouse. A perfect place to go to be ignored by patrons & service staff. Decent beer selection. No bar service. Confusing business model but nonetheless popular for writers/tudents.

Friendly service. Fantastic vegetarian options and liquid pairings. Great place for a quiet glass of wine, pint of ale, or steaming hot caffeinated beverage.

Excellent drinks, excellent live music, great ambiance, not overly busy and AWESOME women’s bathroom! I don’t get to go out very often, so when I do, I’m kind of picky- my only regret is that it took me so long to try this place out!
