Sixth and Main Coffeehouse
A downtown Shelbyville fixture since 2005, Sixth and Main Coffeehouse is located at 547 Main Street at the corner of, you guessed it, Sixth and Main Streets. In addition to delicious fresh roasted coffee, this cozy shop also serves espresso drinks, as well as other hot and refreshing cold beverages. While you’re there, indulge in yummy homemade goodies, such as scones and Kizito Cookies, or take some of their whole bean coffee with you to brew at home.
Steeped in rich Shelby County history, the building that houses the coffeehouse was built around 1860. In addition to serving up great coffee, Sixth and Main also sells new and used books. They regularly host readings and signings by local authors, as well as exhibits by local artists and photographers, whose work often graces the walls inside the shop. With cozy indoor and seasonal outdoor seating, free wifi and fast, friendly service, Sixth and Main is a great place to get that much needed cuppa joe.
