The number of coffee shops is continuously growing in the small town of Scituate. Lucky Finn Café recently joined the coffee competition among Marylou’s, Dunkin Donuts, Morning Glories, and The Coffee Corner. Despite the variety of options and new businesses, locals always come back to their favorite and most respected spot, The Coffee Corner.

The small independent business, owned by the Sheskey family, boasts a picturesque oceanfront view at 1 Cole Parkway. Taking advantage of a beautiful spot that has attracted both locals and tourists with its great service and country style feel, Michael Sheskey opened The Coffee Corner in 1993. The Sheskeys did have a second location of The Coffee Corner in Hingham, but they decided to sell it in the early 2000s so they could be present and focused on the Scituate business. When asked about the reason behind its thriving nature, Jennifer Sheskey said, “We believe the success stems from great product, great customer service and getting to know and truly caring about our customers who supported us.” Most of the employers at The Coffee Corner are high school students. She said, “We always look for friendly, efficient and hard-working employees who know how to have fun yet get the job done and give the customers great service.” Marlaina Reidy, a senior at Scituate High School, has been an employee at The Coffee Corner for two years and said, “I love working here. The costumers, the hours, and the people I work with makes coming to work really fun.”

The Coffee Corner is really popular among high school students. The quick service makes it easy to enjoy your breakfast while still being able to get to homeroom before the 7:45 bell. Senior Erika Badger said, “It’s a great way to start off your day. In my opinion they make some of the best breakfast sandwiches on the South Shore.” Senior Jonny Ricci also shared his views on The Coffee Corner commenting, “I enjoy the friendly atmosphere and small town vibe. The sausage egg and cheese breakfast sandwiches are delectable.” Whether it’s grabbing a bagel and coffee before school or meeting with a group of friends on the weekend, there’s nothing like going to The Coffee Corner.

Looking at all the coffee shops in Scituate, it’s clear that The Coffee Corner is one of the most popular breakfast places. With its friendly service, amazing breakfast sandwiches, and pleasant water views, the Coffee Corner has become the “go to” breakfast spot for everyone.
