True 3rd wave coffee in Charlottesville. Hidden gem. Worth finding. Excellent cappuccino,
Easy best coffee in CVL pick with great and friendly staff. My only gripe is the lack of inside seating. Psych!! Also that every time I sit in one of their metal chairs and lean back, i momentarily feel like I’m going to fall backwards. Y’all know that feeling of fear?
Good spot, inside and outside seating. Convenient to Ix Art Park and shops. I was there early on a Saturday as the Ix Market was firing up, very good coffee and very good service from the friendly, lovely batista I dealt with. Highly recommend....
Very well made drinks and knowledgeable baristas. Limited seating inside does not have power outlets readily accessible (I see this as a positive).
I got a chai latte but was thrown off by an odd, extremely bitter aftertaste that it had. I then got a plain cold brew after and that was much better. The baristas were friendly and seemed to know most of the people in the shop. Wifi worked well too.
Great coffee, vegan options, super-friendly staff, great atmosphere, records and even clothes - curated vintage and screen printed by a local artist.
Most excellent!
The best coffee I've had in Charlottesville. El Jefe is my favorite at the moment. And so fresh! The last bag of beans I bought here had been roasted only days before.
I was perplexed at first at how incognito the shop is. No outside signs (except on the door) and almost thought it was only a supply-side roaster. It’s pretty bare bones inside, but interesting how it’s connected to other small businesses. As to the drink I ordered. I will admit that initially I didn’t like my chai oatmilk latte as to compared that same drink at other coffee shops . However, it grew on me. I can’t say exactly what the difference was — maybe the espresso? Or maybe less sweetener? I had the sense that this was more authentic than the usual overly sweetened versions of chai latte. In the end, I’ll give this shop five stars, but do recommend more obvious signage!
I came here specifically for an oat chai latte and was not disappointed. They use Prana Chai (which is new to me) and is delicious. Surprisingly there is a saltiness to it that I’m ok with - it’s kind of a neat twist. I recommend checking them out.
Fabulous coffee, wonderful people
Delicious chai oatmilk tea. Nice vibe.
Excellent Cortado and Great pour over, this is a real coffee spot. Appreciate the baristas discussing the coffee options with us and showing us what they have to offer.
Nice location and really great staff but the espresso I had was underwhelming. The cold brew selection was better, so if you like cold brew this is a solid place.
Ideal spot to grab a coffee before heading over to Belle for brunch. Tasty, bold, and one of the better spots in town.
Best coffee in Cville and best staff. This place supports the community in all the right ways and genuinely wants to make this an even better place to live.
A coffee roaster that focuses on Central American beans. My wife had a fancy drink that she really enjoyed with mexican chocolate added.
Great coffee and pastries! Very nice space.
Super nice staff and wonderful spot with nice art and aesthetics to sit down and enjoy your coffee!
