Historic Hidden Gem Downtown! Super Atmosphere, Great Staff And Food! Sheps 2.0 Is Here And Not A Minute Too Soon You Must Stop In And See The Changes. Amazing Transformation! As A Fan Of The Vintage Bar I Wholeheartedly Endorse The Speakeasy Version. It Is Cozier And Classy And The Staff Are Very Nice.

A quaint and rustic little coffee hut, bar, and eatery in Fresno, CA. The 559 was absolutely delicious, the fries are seasoned perfectly, and I got the Lavender Chocolate Coffee. Now it's an acquired taste but I loved it. Would recommend friends and family to come here.

The waitress was nice and attentive but I was not happy with my tri tip sandwich it was cold meat but the bun was toasted. It didn’t have enough meat in it to eat it all. I was left with half a sandwich with not meat. I didn’t like the taste of the sauce , peppers, or the cheese but something didn’t taste good to me. The fry’s were over cooked to me. It was dark in here the table we sat at was a folding table. The most positive thing was again the waitress was very nice and attentive.
