Stagecoach Coffee

Stagecoach Coffee is the only actual cage in town and they roast their own beans. I have yet to buy their beans, but I do drink a lot of their brews at school, which I only find so-​so. It may be how they brew it.
In terms of the plain latte, I have definitely had better. Sorry to say it, but Starbucks actually has a better latte. I was really pulling for Stagecoach because I am a big supporter of local and independent roasters. The latte is overly bitter and a bit rough. I have to add sugar and sometimes a bit of milk into it.
You are actually better off here getting a flavored drink, either through syrup shots (monin, chai) or powder form (matcha). They also have a very good list of smoothies. This is where their drinks shine. They also have a good list of breakfast sandwiches!
The staff are friendly, the place has a lot of seating, but it tends to be very busy, so there are times where you won’t be able to find a seat. They have plenty of power outlets and Stagecoach is actually a pretty good place to sit and do work. There is also an outdoor patio.

Nice for a break while walking around Cooperstown. I got lucky with one of the specials — some sort of Dark Chocolate Peanut Cup concoction and it was amazing! Nice seating area outside in the back.

I drink multiple iced coffees a day so I was happy that Cooperstown had a place right in town where I could get my fix while we were visiting. We had a 4 day trip to Cooperstown and we came here three days in a row. If we had found this place on the first day, it would have been all four.
As I said, I am obsessed with iced coffee and they have some very good iced coffee. My boyfriend is an iced tea drinker and said it was very good.
Some other things we had there were their breakfast sandwiches which were very good. We also had the Knudsen caramels that they have for sale on the counter and the banana bread. The banana bread was good, but no different than most other banana breads. The caramels were excellent, if a little steep at .75/​caramel. We bought a lot of them though because they were so good.
Now on the last day of vacation I veered from my usual iced coffee and tried the iced toffee coffee. I love toffee and I love coffee, so I figured it had to be good. It was amazing. This is definitely a vacation drink and not something you get all the time because it is literally made with fudge, toffee, coffee, and then topped with whipped cream. Not fudge flavoring, legit fudge pumped into my cup. My boyfriend called the drink «the decadence». They should probably consider adopting the name change. It was sooo good, but something you couldn’t drink everyday.
All in all, a really nice local coffee shop with great coffee and good food. We really loved all the seating and the outside options and you could tell that a lot of regulars came in as the staff knew a lot of customers by name. This is a place that I would love to have in my hometown.

Good sandwiches and great coffee flavor options! When I’m craving a good cup of coffee, Stagecoach is my go-​to! They’ve got a cute little outdoor sitting area out back, and a nice indoor area with wi-​fi capability if you want to escape the office to work for a while.

Great coffee and [breakfast] sandwiches!
Easy for a place like this to lack quality (only coffeeshop in town), but it doesn’t. Pleased every time I go.

En route to the Baseball Hall of Fame my boyfriend and I were in desperate need of caffeine and a little relaxation to recharge our batteries. I chose Stagecoach due to its close proximity and great reviews.
It’s a quaint, cozy shop with a friendly vibe. The staff was extremely pleasant and attentive. They roast their beans right there so it smelled incredible.
I initially ordered a Caramel Macchiato however I could get past the first couple sips. It was REALLY sweet. Like, a Frappuccino sweet… Wasn’t expecting that. I decided to switch it up and order their houeblend coffee with vanilla. It was pretty watered down and bland.
Thus my four star review. If it wasn’t for the outstanding people and service I wouldn’t have been a fan at all. I think it just might have been an off day. I’d certainly go back and try again.

Stagecoach has been the only go-​to shop in Cooperstown since I’ve been coming to Cooperstown as a child.
It is amazing! They’ve improved for years and now have an extensive breakfast sandwich menu.
My favorite of all time though is their iced caramel espresso drink. I get a large all the time when I’m up, and sip it slowly while I walk my dog around town!

If service is important, don’t go on a Tuesday night when a young barista tells you at 8pm, they’re closing at 9pm. Then right at 9pm, tells you it’s time to go. Literally, then says, «I told you we were closing at 9,» and proceeds to have a bunch (and I mean a BUNCH) of friends come in, sit in the corner, and get seriously loud.
Maybe she’s a young entrepreneur and owns the place, but it was seriously off putting. We sat at a table right in front of the case and there was no one in when our beverages were finished and when she said, «They’re ready,» my date stood to take them and she said rather rudely, «You can pick them up at the end of the counter.» OK, fine. She’s got a system in place.
I actually had not finished my coffee and had no problem vacating at the appointed time, but wow on saying you had to close up, but having a group of friends come in right at closing to sit. She was all cleaned up and ready to go and I spoke with my date for about twenty minutes after this time in front where I was parked. No one left or got up from the table. She didn’t lock up the coffee shop either.
As far as coffee goes, I tried the Skinny Divinity. It tasted like a plain latte although the board had a lot of «stuff» going on with the recipe. I like plain lattes, but didn’t expect one. It was bitter, which wasn’t expected, but what can you do? This is someone who obviously just doesn’t care about product or customer service.
UPDATE: The owner is now defending the employee who clearly lied about what went on that night or he just doesn’t care. Either way, they were NOT customers who came in and wouldn’t leave. They came IN at closing and were friends she had visiting. Again, it was about the attitude and double standard.

The only coffee shop in town. Very cute, charming place. Had a piece of yummy carrot cake. Lots of coffe, pastry options and ice cream too.

If you are looking for a good espresso based drink, this is not the place. Re-​steaming milk? Really? Please do yourself a favor and watch some videos on espresso and steaming milk because you’ve got the equipment, you’re just doing it all wrong. There is an art to pulling the perfect shot and latte milk should look like paint, not all that foam!
The space is cute and the cookie was delish but you need to focus on the coffee.

3.5 stars. It’s a bustling place with a mix of patrons who come and go to steal some warmth and those who stay for a little while. I had a soy latte served up nice and steamy, which was perfect for the especially chilly day. The steamed soy wasn’t as full and fluffy as can be, so perhaps that could be worked on. I couldn’t judge the flavor and boldness of the espresso too well as the ratio of soy milk to espresso was more favorable for the soy milk.
There are little tables in the back area for some productivity, although I caution those hoping for a comfortable work space that the table will fit perhaps a book or laptop and not much else.
I did not have a bite to eat, but from what I’ve seen at the neighboring tables, the concoctions here look scrumptious.

Townie coffeehouse café popular with both the tourists and the locals. There’s definitely a lot of foot traffic here as it’s 2 – 3 blocks from the busy HOF. Stagecoach provides the quintessential coffeehouse experience with the energetic young staff, homey cute décor and the smell of fresh roasted coffee wafting through the air. The menu has a fair amount of variety with an assortment of healthy and/​or vegetarian options. Locally sourced ingredients.
Regular Cuppa’ Joe — Full and bold, roasted to perfection.
Pumpkin Pie Chai — Essentially diabetes in a cup. Way, WAAAAAAY to sweet and milky. I tossed it half way in. Pass.
Toasty Tuna Sandwich — Similar to what I known as a tuna melt, but with olives and onions. Came out hot and toasty. Portion size was good and it came with a side salad so I split it for a mid-​day snack.
Free WiFi and Smiles :)

Had the pleasure of working out of Stagecoach for a few days. It was always busy with vacationers and locals strolling in and ordering their caffeinated beverages. Plus, their food menu is great — a ton of breakfast and lunch options made fresh to order, including gluten free and vegan items.
The staff are friendly and quick to get you your order. Plus the atmosphere is great. While the front room always seemed to be packed, there’s a lovely patio out back to sit and enjoy the day plus more indoor seating in the back room next to their roasters (yeah, they also roast their own coffee here).
There are a couple of other places to get coffee in Cooperstown, but Stagecoach is the only real option if you want that authentic coffeehouse experience.
