Today, I’m having a latte from Ryder’s Cup coffee where everybody knows your name! It truly feels like Cheers and it’s a hidden gem for sure. This is the 20th coffee shop Ive visited in NY and PA. The shop sits adjacent to Chautauqua Lake and you can sit outside to get a beautiful view of the water. I’m drinking a foamy, white mocha that is quite delectable, and I absolutely love the art here. The various cafe tables are painted by local artists and please take a second to look at the Alice in Wonderland themed table in my pictures. The Cheshire cat smiles wildly in the bottom right corner and the table is adorned with a perfectly patterned checkerboard. I had a moment to discuss the history of the shop with the owner, Joyce. She talked about the history of Ryder’s Cup and how it started in 2002. Three brothers ran the shop and they were into snowboarding and other athletic events, hence the name Ryder’s Cup. Joyce’s niece was working with the three gentlemen when they decided they wanted to sell the business. Just graduating from high school, the niece couldn’t necessarily run it alone. She decided to ask her aunt if she was interested in acquiring the rights to the shop. Joyce bought it! -- I highly recommend this shop for the delicious drinks, the amazing art, and the community feels. The store is also nestled inside a bookstore -- so it’s a dream of a place to read in as well.

Love this coffee shop. Joyce, the owner, and all the regulars are great people. Much more comfy and friendly than Starbucks with better coffee.

A great place to stop along the way from New York to Chicago. Cozy sofas, welcoming staff, and a bookstore next door. The coffee was great too.

Great little coffee shop. It has a very different feel after moving locations, but the drinks and munchable items are still the best!
