Schāf Shop

On Juniper Street, Schāf Shop offers a coffee stop that also opens a window onto a local scene: specialty drinks, skate culture and a small shop of apparel and boards share one address. Midtown Alliance’s profile says the business was opened in 2026 by married owners Lindzey and Taylor Schaffer, placing its idea at the intersection of a café and a specialty skate shop.

The menu ranges from coffee drinks to matcha, including iced preparations and seasonal foam. A daily partnership with Brooklyn Bagels adds a more substantial breakfast: the bagels are made each morning at Ansley Mall. The online menu is useful for checking what is currently offered, though availability and seasonal drinks can change.

Boards, clothing and skate-related goods give the room a different cadence from a café designed only for laptop work. Midtown Alliance describes the concept as a meeting point for coffee and skating; that identity adds context to Juniper Street, a residential and commercial corridor that connects with Midtown’s pedestrian life around 10th Street. Visitors do not need to skate to enjoy the place. Its appeal is the sense of a young, creative independent business rather than a generic coffee counter.

Schāf works best as a morning stop before exploring Midtown: the bagel makes breakfast easy, and the shop invites a look at boards and apparel without turning the visit into a full meal. Its distinction is not an extensive menu but the meeting of specialty coffee and skate culture under one roof.

In the reviews checked, matcha leads the recurring themes, followed by bagels, lattes and atmosphere. That customer response fits the shop’s character: a distinctive drink and something for breakfast inside a store where skateboarding is part of the actual concept.
