The pad Thai, full of bean sprouts and seasoned beef with a sweet flavor and crushed peanuts. Absolutely full of flavor!

We were passing through, looking for a place to eat dinner. I looked for a high rating on Yelp in…read morethe area and hit upon Kiao Wan. It is accessible from a large parking lot (and not visible from the main road). The restaurant only had a couple other customers, so tables were empty. There are tables or counter seating, and the restaurant would not be ideal for large groups. We ordered at the counter and picked a table to sit at, and then they brought out our dishes to us. My husband and I ordered red and green curries (dishes we'd usually order from Thai restaurants). I wanted the mango sticky rice, but they were out. The curries arrived quickly- probably around 10 minutes- with sides of rice. The curries were flavorful, and they used thai eggplants. Like other customers say, the portions were large, and we took leftovers with us (which tasted just as good the next day), but we needed to order more rice, and they charged $4 per extra rice- so it was $8 for us to have extra rice (which I understand is now the norm to charge for extra rice, but sigh). If we lived in the area, we would order takeout from here, rather than eat in. There are no bathrooms within the restaurant itself, but there's an exterior hallway with public restrooms.

It looks and feels so whimsical with the water from the nearby river flowing, and the trees providing that wonderful shade as the wind blows. This is a perfect place to come to and relax either by yourself or with friends. The coffee here is so good! I had the rose latte and it was one of the best coffee's I've enjoyed in a long time. I also went ahead and bought a pound of their decaf locally roasted coffee for my mom. It's water processed instead of using chemicals to remove the caffeine. She loved it. The shop inside is so beautifully curated you feel as if you're in a museum. If you've ever been to an Anthropologie store, it gives off similar vibes. They offer some local artist goods, a lot of it coming from women owned businesses. Many of these beautiful items come with a hefty price tag though. Overall a great addition to the area, and especially a great place for a cup of Joe.

But its consistently troubling issue is the large amount of flour caked on and baked on the outside of the loaves. They use an extreme amount of flour on the raw dough as a release from their baking baskets, and after the bake they just leave it all stuck to the loaf. When I bring a loaf home I often spend a few minutes smacking it and scraping it over the sink where I dislodge so much raw flour from the outside of the bread. Sometimes there's a rind of undercooked flour cemented to the outside of the loaf. This is wildly unacceptable.

A quick look at their story cleared it up; this location carries on the legacy of the founders' original coffee-roasting roots. The shop had an inviting, upbeat atmosphere thanks to the friendly baristas and the music filling the room. After ordering, I was directed to a lineup of self-serve coffee carafes featuring everything from dark and medium roasts to Guatemalan, Colombian, and flavored blends. I started with the Guatemalan roast, which was smooth, rich, and full of flavor. Settling in by the large windows with a cup of coffee and *The New York Times* on my phone made for a relaxing way to start the day. The café itself is a nostalgic throwback to the neighborhood coffee houses of the '90s, complete with wooden tables, local artwork, and burlap coffee sacks from around the world displayed like works of art. When I finished my first cup, I went back for a refill and decided to try the Rainbow Blend. That turned out to be the highlight of the visit. It was exceptionally smooth, full-bodied, and remarkably low in acidity, making it easy to savor every sip. I enjoyed it so much that I left with a bag to brew at home. If you're looking for a welcoming coffee shop with excellent drip coffee and a cozy, old-school vibe, Shelburne Falls Coffee Roasters is well worth a stop.
