Grit Coffee, Stonefield

Good quality coffee and a nice atmosphere for enjoying it! The seasonal beverages are always pretty good if you like trying something than the standard latte or drip coffee. Only thing is that it can be a bit pricey, so be prepared to pay a little more for your beverage of choice. Overall, a good place to come for an afternoon pick me up!

Good thing up front: the High Five coffee was unique and delicious. Since I couldn’t find the info on-line, here it is. Espresso poured over raw sugar, half and half and sea salt on top.
Now, the rest: we ordered a raspberry scone and a blueberry muffin. I noticed that 2 of the scones were pretty dark/burnt, so I asked for the one in the middle. They gave me one of the burnt ones. Also, by the time my coffee was finally ready, my partner had nearly finished eating. This is even though there were not that many people waiting. The scone was not good tasting or texture, and there were precious few blueberries in the muffin. Pretty disappointing. We didn’t finish either of the baked goods.

Decent coffee, good atmosphere, but looks like the baked goods are made with gold dust or saffron. Suffice it to say, NOT selling like hotcakes. (What happens to them at the end of the day?:( ) Memo: a filled croissant is probably €1.50 max in Italy...and the cost of diesel is much higher in Europe, so this ain't about structural reasons.

I never been to this town in my life but I tasted these coffee beans. While on a road trip, we bought it from Whole Foods. And then I ordered it from their headquarters. I am a Coffee addict and I lived everywhere between Texas, California, Chicago, Maine, Pennsylvania, Kansas and others. And I tried so many coffee beans in my life. This is by far one of my top three in the United States. If I love someone who loves coffee I will gift him the Ethiopian roast from Grit Coffee. Their Decaf Ethiopian is my favorite decaf coffee ever.

They have decent drip coffee, and dairy substitutes like oat milk for no additional charge, but there is a $1 charge if you substitute for non-dairy in a latte. They offer rewards which can add up pretty quickly if you come here regularly that can get you free drinks. Their lattes are good, not too sweet but just the right amount of sweetness if you add a flavor. I recommend their caramel or hazelnut. They also have flavors like Irish cream and almond, which I don’t prefer but might work for others.

They don’t have many pastry options - pretty much just croissants - so not the place if you want a coffee and a treat, or breakfast options. They also don’t offer whipped cream, if you enjoy adding that to your coffee like I do, you won’t get that here.

Overall, a very nice vibe, friendly staff, good coffee. Would recommend stopping by.

I do not understand the chokehold Grit has on the Charlottesville area. The coffee is just okay. Don't get it black, it tastes burnt. If you do get coffee here, get the specialty drink with brown sugar, that is actually pretty good. It's very hard to find seating here on a weekend, even if you come early, so don't plan to stay. if you do, the acoustics here are a little off and it can be hard to concentrate so make sure you bring headphones.

We love grit! The stonefield location is a little more limited in seating; however, their maple leaf latte is hands down my favorite coffee. A great place to meet a friend or spend an afternoon outside reading!

Drink was fantastic, the two folks ringing me up and making my drink were v nice and professional, but I feel the place is pretty white washed otherwise and lacked any visual support of anyone outside that vibe, which means I sat outside despite the heat. Maybe I didn't look hard, but I shouldn't have to ✌🏼

The staff at grit is amazing. The coffee is good. The seasonal specialty drinks are a real treat. The online ordering system is super convenient.

To preface this, I am not a coffee/espresso/caffeinated beverage drinker given my insane sensitivity to caffeine. Nevertheless, I tried many coffee drinks, visited coffee farms and had super authentic fresh brews, but was not impressed nor did I understand the addiction. A couple days ago out of the blue, I had a craving for an espresso so I came to Grit on Bond St. I asked for a half caff (didn't know that was a thing) almond milk latte. I've been craving that latte for a couple days now. I'm drinking one as we speak, though not as delicious as Grit's. I think Grit may have turned me into an espresso drinker! Special thanks to the folks who took care of my order - they were very patient, friendly, and helpful!
