Their whole beans are great for making nice at home pour overs and are a fair price.

I have only been here one time but the one time I was there they forgot my order then when I finally got it after re-ordering it was incorrect. The coffee itself was very good but the wait was not worth $5 for a small.

Great local coffee shop and roaster. Excellent espresso drinks, pour-over, and cold brew. Good pricing on fresh beans. Cool atmosphere and friendly baristas.

I ordered a cappuccino "for here" but when my order came it was in a paper cup. I had asked before ordering if it would be served in paper and the cashier told me it would not.

Seems like a popular joint. Get there early on a Saturday if you’d like to try their tasty pastries!

Another excellent medium roast shop here in Virginia. Solid pourovers, excellent lattes, and traditional espresso. Great representation of medium roast with a wide selection of coffees across the world.

Atmosphere was beautiful! Very industrial look. However, the coffee/drinks were terrible. I ordered a white hot cocoa, received a white mocha, that was terribly bitter. My fiancée got a mocha and said that it tasted like they used unsweetened chocolate. And it took about 20 minutes to get our drinks so we ended up just throwing them out and eating the loss. Beautiful spot but wouldn’t recommend.

I ordered a cappuccino "for here" but when my order came it was in a paper cup. I had asked before ordering if it would be served in paper and the cashier told me it would not. I was disappointed because one of my favorite things about a cappuccino is sipping it from a proper cup. I mentioned to the barrista that I was hoping for a ceramic cup and they didn't hesitate to just make me a new coffee right there on the spot. I felt kind of embarrassed being so particular, but they made it right and I am very appreciative. The coffee was delicious. I think most people don't seem to care about paper vs ceramic so I understand why they made the mix up. Any place that tolerates an annoying customer like me deserves a visit.

Great selection of coffee beans and they're happy to grind them for you too! I've also like the drip coffee I've ordered from them

The espresso was good and the speciality drinks looked interesting. It was also quite lively while I was there. Best as a nice atmosphere for a chat over a cup of coffee, but they now have WiFi!

I enjoy coming here. Friendly staff and great coffee from around the world. Also, it's not a Starbucks.

I love Swings! This morning, I splurged on a nitro latte, and it was the jolt I needed-- even my eyeballs are feeling it! My husband loves their cheddar and chive scone (not a biscuit! I always forget and try to look it up in the wrong place). Their seasonal lattes are always tasty. They do a really great vanilla milk drink for kids, in addition to hot chocolate. Their almond croissants are so smooth and filled.

Used to be one of my favorite coffee shops. But when I had to locate (wasn't even informed where I could find them), and apply my own lids and straws while carrying my toddler (for 3 drinks!), every positive experience went out the window!
