The Vestibule is a charming and unique coffee shop in Clinton. I stopped in while passing through for work, and I’m so glad I did. The warm, low lighting, wooden floors, and vintage musical instruments and projectors gave it a cozy library-like vibe. The walls, adorned with local artwork (some available for purchase), added to the charm—but atmosphere alone wasn’t my mission. I was searching for a warm cup of coffee and a quiet place to journal.
The young woman behind the counter was kind, attentive, and happy to answer my questions, even offering recommendations. I decided on a seasonal drink called the Pot of Gold, and it did not disappoint. While she was managing the entire shop alone, leading to a bit of a wait, I didn’t mind—it gave me more time to soak in the ambiance and enjoy the smooth piano music.

We stayed quite awhile in a clean, pleasant, quiet and beautifully decorated seating area with comfy couches. We were grateful it wasn't busy as we were making final arrangements for our mother and appreciated being able to gather in a peaceful environment. My little niece was a bit rambunctious so I hope she didn't disturb any other patrons and I appreciate the patience and kindness...
   Read morePrices are reasonable, comparable to Starbucks, but I'm willing to pay the higher price to support a local business. They also offer some great discounts including one for college students which is nice. The environment is fantastic and the staff is great. Definitely needs to be a stop for anyone that happens to be in the Clinton area. They have something for everyone, even people who don't like coffee. They also sell merchandise and coffee by the bag (whole bean and ground) which is great for someone like me that likes to brew coffee at home. Heads up, I would recommend the mocha praline personally, but everything...
