Even though we are "local," (Clovis) we have not spent time up at Shaver. We rented a cabin for the 4th of July and happily stumbled upon Shaver Coffee and Deli. What a hard-working, kind team! Despite the overwhelming crowds, the team was hustling and turning out super high quality food at a reasonable price, giant and delicious milkshakes, and high quality coffee. We felt like we were treated like regulars from our first trip. The monkey bread is ridiculously good and served still warm! The grill items were fantastic too. Hot tip: you can grab a menu and call your order in ahead, eliminate any wait, and get $1 off your order. Next time we will know ahead to make this our go to. Prices are very reasonable too! Thank you! read more

Went in today, it was weird walking in to a employee being berated by another coworker/ and then the same beautiful, brown haired bright eyed girl greeted us at the register. So talkative and sweet. but then she was quickly told not to take our order. The person that took our order was very serious, not friendly and just changed the whole tone of the environment. The coffee was fine, the monkey bread, good. We have been going there so long to our vacation cabin and , we love friendly, Service, and that is not what happened today. read more

We love these little joints. This place is special. Great service great food and a full coffee bar. The monkey bread is ridiculous. The people are nice and friendly and the food is great. Good Americana type of food. We had a party of six for lunch and it was so good we went back for breakfast and it was equally as good. The owner remembered my name and that is how you run a business. If you're driving to rough Shaver stop grab a coffee and get the money bread. If you can stay for breakfast or lunch you won't regret it. read more

This place has a little bit of everything. Like lots of jerky types, coffee drinks, and food and snacks. They also have some cute Shaver Lake souvenirs and some local canned goods. We always go for the ice cream and the service is always so great. They're always so patient with my crazy boys and we love to get out of the house and support local! read more

We went here for lunch. Our group tried each others orders and all of them were so good!!! The staff went out of there way brought us refills without us asking. Made us a fresh batch of chunk bread for dessert compliments of the staff. Definitely will eat there any time we visit shaver lake read more

We stopped by to pick up a birthday cake for my dad. We had selected to purchase a cheesecake they used in other dishes but Stephanie offered to make us a great chocolate mountain cake. Stephanie made the birthday mountain chocolate cake and we were able to pick up after they closed. This was a nice and generous offer to bake something on the same day. She also provided whipping cream and chocolate dipping sauce. This was a great surprise for my family. read more

Staff was friendly, but the food is overpriced for what you get..ordered the rueben and there was more sauerkraut than meat. Hardly any meat at all...for 16 bucks should have went to subway instead...never going back again read more

We keep trying this place hoping we would have a better experience, but unfortunately it just doesn't hit the spot. The women who worked the front counter(and also bakery) is super sweet and made it a better experience. But the food was no good, except the fries maybe. My husband got the fish and chips and the fish was over cooked in old oil. I got the Philly cheese steak sandwich, which was okay, but there wasn't a lot of meat, and it was just sub par. We got our daughter a children's grilled cheese and the bread was extremely stale and non edible. For the desserts, The monkey bread is just okay, don't really understand the rave. The brownies and lemon squares are also nothing special. I was really hoping to like it more. read more

Walked into Shaver Coffee and Grill and got hit with that sweet smell of cinnamon--instantly knew I was in the right place. Didn't snap any pics, but trust me, the smell alone will pull you in. The coffee? Eh, not the best. Probably a 3 out of 5, kind of just basic. But they were one of the few spots open early, so that was a plus. What stood out was the service--super friendly and welcoming. Place was very clean, and there was a decent amount of parking. Now the real star? That cinnamon thing. I have no idea what it's called, but it was like soft dough bites that smelled like graham crackers and cinnamon, kind of like a deconstructed roll. They give you this cream on the side, and man... fire. I'd go back just for that. read more

Came here as a recommendation for the chunky bread. We were welcomed as we came in. They only had full loaves left but were able to accommodate us and cut one in half for a half loaf. What a warm, sweet, cinnamon-y treat after a hike. Recommend trying! read more

Well great location. Spoke with a few locals and they said a good spot for a quick meal, not a full service meal. Got in and great menu. Ordered a hamburger , pastrami, French dip and fries. They all look great and from family tasted good. Now to be honest. Don't order the chili. It looked and tasted like Taco Bell meat. It was beanless. I watched them take it frozen and microwave it repeatedly to get to temperature. Having said that the staff were nice and for November busy. read more

Your employee Harper is fantastic and kind. It is always so nice to come in and see her smiling face.

Everything was nice about this place. We were on our way back to Clovis after a wedding at China Peak and decided to stop for lunch. It was busy so it took a bit of time to order at the counter, and the employee at the register warned that it would be a while with several orders ahead of us (lots of fire-fighting going on in the area, and fire crews were on site to have lunch). We ordered a Shaver Burger and onion rings to share--very tasty! Next time I'm going to have to get some "chunky bread"--it smelled and looked so good, and that cream cheese frosting to go with it HAS to be good! read more

After a day of fishing and foraging near Dinkey Creek, I wandered into Shaver Lake looking for a good meal. I stumbled across this humble, inviting little restaurant, but when I tried the door, it was locked. Just as I thought all hope was lost, the manager of the deli came to my rescue. She explained they were closed, but when I asked if there were any other options in town, she paused -- and then invited me in herself, saying she didn't want me settling for a bad meal somewhere else. She made me one of the best tri-tip sandwiches I've ever had. The bread was perfectly cheesy and toasted, the tri-tip tender and seasoned just right. Even the fries were simple but incredible -- crispy, perfectly seasoned, and clearly made with care. More than the food, though, it was the feeling she gave me. She made me feel welcomed, like I was one of her own. It truly brightened my day in a way I didn't expect, and it's an interaction I'll never forget. I can't recommend this place enough -- for the food, yes, but even more for the kindness and heart behind it. read more

I normally take advice from the locals when I travel, but this was a big mistake. I get they want support in such a tiny community, but I bewilders me that this place is passing any health inspections. What a disgusting dump. The monkey bread was undercooked and raw in places, the breakfast burrito dry, and the whole place smelled like rancid meat. read more

We visited this spot twice on our weekend trip to Shaver Lake. The sandwiches are delicious, the staff are so kind, and this place offers delicious food, coffee and pastries at a steal. read more

Chunky bread is amazing and the only reason I'm giving them a 3. I ordered biscuits and gravy with sausage and they gave me 1 link... The breakfast burrito was mediocre at best. Everything is overpriced and as mentioned the only thing I will go back for is the overpriced chunky bread. read more

The staff is so kind and friendly! Lovely conversation while we waited for coffee. Highly recommend enjoying their famous cinnamon bread with cream cheese by the lake shore. read more

We stop in here a few times, First time was for the pull apart bread it was heavenly still warm from the oven. Then last week coming from Wishon Lake was wanted an ice cream. Perfect crunchy cone and they were not stingy with the ice cream either! This place is a delight to come to. Staff is very attentive and nice . Family , children of all age will enjoy. read more

Friendliest service on the planet! Everything is made to order so take a seat and enjoy the mountain.

Stopped by after a long day at the lake , food wasn't as expected, service slow and the place smells burning food. It was a waste of time and money. read more

Stopped in on a very busy Labor Day. The staff were friendly and the food and chunky bread hit the spot. Wanted to give a shout out to Stephanie who walked our food out to us on the patio. We told her we would be sitting outside since inside was so busy and asked if they could call our name out the door, she did one better and remembered our faces and walked our food out to us! That was an unexpected service touch! Thanks Stephanie for the excellent service! read more

As a new Shaver Lake resident, I came here after hearing so many amazing things! It is also my birthday today and I walked in and was greeted by the sweetest and warmest smile from Stephanie behind the ice cream/coffee bar! We gave Stephanie our coffee orders and she let us know that she makes them each one by one and it would take her some time but she makes them with love!! Once Stephanie learned it was my birthday, she made my coffee first, brought the staff to me and they sang me happy birthday with a candle in the straw holder! I felt SO SPECIAL!!! We took the coffees and brought them back to the house for everybody to enjoy and they all said the coffees were AMAZING! Stephanie, you are a gem. Thank you for making my birthday so amazing! read more

A must visit in Shaver Lake! Yummy food, friendly people and of course famous Chunky Bread.

Customer service was excellent! Very friendly and welcoming. The food was so good. We ordered a hot dog, tri tip sandwich , and a burger with fries. Everything was delicious. We took some of their famous bread to go. Wow! So yummy. Parking was not an issue. We ate inside. It's a very laid back vibe. We will definitely come back each time we are in town. read more

I was intrigued by the "World Famous chunky bread" there was much more then that deliciousness that made the visit special. The crew was so nice and recommended some great things. The breakfast burrito was like it was home made. The pancakes were perfectly fluffy with a slight crisp. The ambiance was that of a mom and pop all about local feel. I highly recommend this place and am super glad I stopped in. read more

Went here today and the food was good . Me and my husband got a burger and my son got a grilled cheese . Place is very clean and has parking available. The smell of coffee just hits . The employees were nice and welcoming. I just wished they had high chairs . read more

This review is solely based on one item that I seek out whenever my family and I go on our yearly camping at nearby Camp Edison: Monkey Bread. Although they do sell coffee, sandwiches, etc, I feel the popular item in the store is their Chunky Bread (aka Monkey Bread). Looks like mashed up pillsbury cinnamon rolls that you can pull apart for easy consumption. Bread will pair well with your favorite hot beverage. This place is a must visit when in the Shaver Lake area. read more

Chunky bread was good. They have great shaver lake mugs. Selection for lunch didn't have any vegetarian sandwiches. So I couldn't order anything. read more

Thanks for the ongoing food and meals out of Norms deli in Shaver Lake. The employees are busy with orders and are ready to add your order. They have local treats and memories to buy here too. It smells good inside and parking is pretty good too. Norm added some picnic tables with protection at the side. There are some small vacay rentals upstairs too. read more

Made an account just to write this rating. Stephanie i believe was the owner or manager was the sweetest lady ever, she mad the whole experience a 10/10 read more

I always stop by this place when I'm in shaver whether it's to get some monkey bread (you have to warm it up but it's delicious when warm) or some food. I normally get a burger which is good but I finally tried the Ruben sandwich and I think that's my go to now. The Onion Rings are also an item that I can really recommend as they taste like they are freshly battered then fried. The people are also very kind here so it makes it easy to return and give them business. read more

Such friendly service and excellent biscuits and gravy. Must try their banana bread also.

Every place we've been to in this little town has had excellent food and Shaver Coffee & Deli was me exception. We had the mocha's, and biscuits and gravy and will have the famous chunky bread shortly. So far everything is excellent! It is small but don't let that stop you from going in. There is some seating in the back too. read more

Chunky Bread is for real. Friendly service too. They have ice cream and a full breakfast menu. Def coming back. read more

Shaver Coffee & Deli - Chunky bread with cream cheese frosting. Yes, it's that good - Delis Near Me - Shaver Lake, California

Sandwiches are nothing to write home about, but they're decent. The much-hyped pull-apart bread was overrated; they appear to make it in big batches one day a week, because it was stale the day I tried it; they're basically just sticky buns stuck together. read more

Came by towards the end of the day looking for some snacks. Ended up with a cup of coffee, pull apart bread, and some cookies. The male cashier was very friendly. We sat outside at the picnic table to enjoy our snacks, but to my dismay, the pull apart bread was tough and the cookies was very hard. I see great reviews of the sandwiches and will return to try those when I'm in the area again. read more

I've had quite the build-up to my first visit to this place. Only took me 15+ years to actually stop and try this "chunky bread." I'm talking years and years and years of "OMG soooooo good" and "you HAVE to stop someday." Well the first part to my visit was my fault. There are two sets of doors that look like front doors. The left set is locked, but it's still marked like it's the front door. Save yourself the hassle and skip the porch on the left. It was good. Seemed very plain. Dough-y knots with some caramel/cinnamon gunk. Good enough to rave about? Maybe- if you can't bake... All I've heard about is this chunky bread for some time. Maybe next time I'll try something else. It wasn't good enough to stop for just that in my book. read more
