Rappahannock Coffee

Lovely place and quiet ❤️🧡

I really love this place. The environment and quality of the coffee. However, what is most nice about this place is the attention. Thank you Paul for make it special and to make customers happy.

Very good place for rest and refreshing your mood with a great speciality coffee

Cozy cafe with homey atmosphere. Good coffee options and homemade bagels. Parking in the back was a big plus for me! Recommend for tourists wanting to skip the Starbucks or Dunkin line.

Love the art deco building and inviting interior. The barista was very kind too. However, I personally found the coffee itself to be rather meh.

There is a guy in there who serves coffee; he's so very nice with warm disposition & attitude. The coffee here is very good quality and is the BEST price in Arlington or probably in Virginia ($2.00 for small, and $2.32 for medium size). There's continuous relaxing classical music playing, conducive for study and mental works. There is a fan-like device always on for filtering, purifying the air. You will like this place--I fell in love with the quiet, simplicity, and spirit of this quint Coffee place.

Wonderful local coffee shop. This place is so nondescript and is probably overshadowed by the Starbucks that sits right across the street, but really exceeded my expectations.

The coffee itself was very good. I got their blend of dark and medium roast on the cashier's recommendation, and I wasn't disappointed.

I'll also say the staff was great. Paul, the only employee working when we went, was awesome. Not super talkative, but made some great recommendations and was very nice. Honestly, he's half of what made our experience so great.

There definitely isn't a lot of money in this place and it isn't as flashy or hipster as some of the other coffee shops in the area (the logos on their coffee beans were clearly made in Microsoft Word, their cup sleeves were Vineyard Vines Christmas ads and the whole place just smelled kind of old), but that's what gave it it's charm. It felt like a coffee shop that you would find in a rural town, not the heart of our nation's capital.

Couple of takeaway thoughts:

1) We went near closing on a Saturday evening, so the shop was pretty much empty and we were served almost immediately. But, from reading other reviews, it looks like they usually only have one employee working at a time which means there could be a significant wait if you go during peak hours.

2) There's not a ton of seating. They have a few tables and a bar at the front of the shop along with a couch and a couple swivel chairs in the rear. The whole shop is pretty quiet, so it's a great place to get some work done, just know that you could be fighting for space.

3) There's a small gravel lot behind the shop that you're allowed to park in, but it's not huge. So you may have a little trouble in that department. But again, it's not an issue if you avoid going during peak hours.

Overall, this place is awesome and I will definitely go again.

Nice relaxed environment. Not too crowded on a Saturday morning, with plenty of indoor seating available (outside seating consisted of a single table & 2 chairs). I tried a frozen coffee beverage, which was fantastic and well made. Service was quick and I will certainly return in the future. Hours posted were 6a - 7p.

I tried out Rappahannock coffee the other day. I love the shop. It's tiny, the atmosphere is relaxing, and the homemade bagels are amazing. I ordered a mocha which was ok. The beans they use smell great, but they are really oily, which gives the coffee a bit of a bitter taste. The staff was extremely nice and I would go back just for the atmosphere.

Nice little neighborhood coffee shop. They roast and grind their own beans here. I'm not a coffee drinker, but, I can vouch for their tea, hot chocolate, and especially their smoothies. The sandwiches are tasty, and made to order. The sweets and breakfast pastries are also fine. And supporting local businesses is always a plus.
