This is SUCH a gem to have in Colfax–a cozy, inviting, high quality coffee shop right in town. The service is warm and friendly, the drinks are delicious, and the ambiance of the space is gorgeous. They even have a drive through. It’s worth a visit to Colfax just for this coffee shop!

Stumbled upon this café after my haircut a few doors down. Not gonna lie, I was surprised to see something so chic and so meticulously designed in Colfax. The gals working were extremely nice and welcoming.
I’m currently doing a coffee detox so I ordered a matcha oat milk latté. It was so good! It tastes like they use real matcha powder and that they actually whisk it with a chasen. I didn’t actually watch them make it because I was so enamored with the space, but that’s what it tasted like. I love that they don’t douse the matcha with sugar like a lot of “hip” coffee shops do. This is the way it’s supposed to taste. If you’re looking to sweeten it a little then ask for a pump of honey. I’m really, really happy that I found this place!

Absolutely love our little coffee shop. They’ve been great to our community. I regularly sit up shop and get some work done from there.
Always kind, and the coffee and food is great.
Im mildly addicted to the fall menu.

Overpriced coffee that literally tastes like mold. I came in to ask for a refund, and thw girl just remade it saying she made a mistake and forgot to put chai in my drink.
No, now it juat tastes like sweet mold.
Something is gross and dirty. If it isnt thw ingrediwnts, thwn its thw equipmwnt needing cleaned.
I wanted a refund and that apparently wasn’t an option

When traveling, my husband and I love to stop at local coffee shops! We were driving through and found this place! So cute inside and barista was nice. I tried the cherry bomb- it was amazing! It was unique and so fun looking! I would drive back 2 hours just to have another one! My husband got the bees knees and said the same thing! Thank you!!

On a quick trip to visit the Capitol and found this listing.
REALLY NICE!
Clean, modern, classy.
We got holiday lattes and even bought a mug.
I love that it also supports a good cause.
Such a nice way to start our day.

Such a cute little coffee shop! We were in town for the Colfax Tour of Homes and one of the homes had a scavenger hunt. We found all the clues so she gave us a gift certificate to this shop. My friend got a coffee and I got hot chocolate. The girls working the counter were sweet and the decor is darling. So glad we got to stop there!

I continued to recall in my mind’s eye the signage I’d seen when I traveled through the town of Colfax this morning. I understood the biblical significance of The Sheep Gate in Jerusalem. I remembered, as well, the letters C O F F E E on the storefront. I thought it providential that I might be thirsty; for I had been riding the Triumph since I left Ames an hour or so before. I turned the motorcycle around near the town’s Historical Society building and found a parking spot directly in front of Sheepgate Coffee Company. I checked the door and found they were open and true to their posted hours (7AM until 2PM on Monday). I “ungeared”, walked through a small vestibule and into the welcoming world of Sheepgate. The two young ladies at the counter were genuine in greeting me and helpful in taking my simple order. I was the only customer for about 20 minutes, so I had a grand time asking a thousand questions about Sheepgate’s efforts to pull men (and women) from “the pit” and back on their journey through the story of reality. I also found out a little more of the backstory to Colfax’s heyday. The gals did their best to answer my questions and laugh at my jokes while I enjoyed a truly satisfying cup of coffee. I’m very glad I stopped in. I’ll be back with some friends. Thank you.

Hidden gem just off of I-80! Ordered a cappuccino and it was perfect – foam was like velvet and not broiled/over-steamed, espresso had great flavor. The raspberry crumble bar was also delicious – just the right combo of tart and sweet. Space is also very chic, but the staff are the opposite of pretentious coffee-shop vibes – very friendly and down-to-earth. I’m not a religious person but really resonated with the mission being a non-profit that funds addiction support services in the region. The space felt very welcoming regardless of religious affiliation or walk of life.
I moderated my expectations going in (figured if nothing else the money would be going to a good cause), but Sheepgate truly impressed! They could hold their own in Chicago or any big city. Will certainly be back next time I’m visiting family!
