Raven's Brew follows a growing trend among coffee shops, in that it is located inside a bookstore. The cool thing is, this is not a chain bookstore -- Sage Bookstore is truly a local business, the kind that is now an endangered species with the growth of amazon.com. There is just one large table in Raven's Brew, but on that table are always the local newspapers for anyone to read. On the front of the store are bulletins about community events. In short, for those who, for one reason or another, are going to be in Shelton awhile, this is the place to come to keep up with what's happening.
