Your Neighborhood Coffee Shop Since 1991
Established in 1991, Frederick Coffee Co. & Cafe Co. & Cafe has become a cornerstone of the Downtown Frederick community. Our journey began in the space now occupied by Frederick Fudge & Ice Cream before relocating to our current historic location, which previously housed a Sinclair Gas Station and Fredericks first video rental store. Under the ownership of Mike and Terri Winder since 2010, we have maintained a commitment to quality coffee, fresh-baked goods, and made-to-order meals. Our menu features over 30 years of culinary tradition, including signature items like the East Street Chicken Salad and Shab Row Breakfast Sammie. We pride ourselves on preserving the building's unique character, including its terra cotta tile awning that reflects its southwestern furniture store heritage. As part of the Everedy Square & Shab Row complex, we offer both dine-in and online ordering options for our loyal customers.Our expertise extends beyond coffee service through sister businesses like Shab Row Tea Emporium and The Pasta Palette. With operating hours designed to serve both daily commuters and weekend visitors, we maintain a focus on community engagement and customer satisfaction. Our team combines decades of hospitality experience with a passion for creating memorable dining experiences. Whether you're enjoying our famous roasted red pepper & gouda bisque or our classic breakfast sandwiches, every item reflects our dedication to quality ingredients and consistent preparation. We remain committed to evolving with customer preferences while honoring the traditions that have made us a local favorite for over three decades.

The atmosphere is cute, the staff is courteous, but the coffee, my goodness, no flavor, no taste of roast whatsoever. I would not go back.

I love the friendly staff and along with my best friends, visit regularly. It is always clean and we love the spiced chai and lattes. The owner, Mike, is a really good, friendly man too.

With apologies, the $5 cash was returned. The Nova Lox smoked salmon, onion, tomato, capers, & cream cheese on a black
