Shenandoah Joe Coffee Roasters

Great Coffee. And just coffee. No fluff like pastries/sandwiches/etc.
You know they love coffee. It comes out in the fresh roasted coffee, the wide variety of coffee origins available, and the care they put into their cup-at-a-time brewing.

Very good coffee shop feel.
Friendly staff. (The barista even remembered my name.)
Plenty of seating for studying/talking/reading/etc.
Good parking.

I felt as if I was singled out be side I wasn’t of college age. While understanding Covid going on, I was seated well past 6 feet from anyone, I was told to put on my mask while drinking coffee. The. To have the same person approach me to tell me that my shoe was on their furniture. All they really had to say was that they didn’t want me there.

Not to worry. I will not return.

We came here when the parking situation at the downtown mall kept us from going to Mudhouse. I am so glad we did! Their iced coffee is excellent. It may sound odd to say but, unlike many cafes, it actually tastes like coffee. Their cup-at-a-time pour-over is predictably tasty and the vanilla latte was one of the best we had tasted. On top of the good beverages, their pumpkin muffins are good, also. Some of the best coffee we've had in Charlottesville.

Best coffee in Charlottesville, but there is never a place to park. Tiny parking lot and very limited steet parking makes this a hard spot to visit unless you live nearby. Other than standard espresso drinks, try the mocha which is delicious without being too sweet.

This is one of my favorite coffee places in Charlottesville!

Wish they had more seating, but if they did, the quality may suffer, so we just deal with it.

If you like Starbucks, you will LOVE Shenandoah Joe's!

Had a medium iced latte - and I'm fully aware this drink may not be the best drink to judge. But it was perfect. Perfect blend. Great after taste. And I loved the cubes. Will seek out this shop every time I'm in town.

Moving from Toronto which is riddled with Indy coffee places I thought I would have trouble finding a decent cafe in Charlottesville. Happy to be proven wrong with Shenandoah leading the way. Fantastic coffee with super nice customer service! Comparable to any top cafes in Toronto, NYC, SF or Seattle!

I cannot rate this place highly enough! From the aroma, to the quality of coffee, to the atmosphere and the wonderful people that work here, this coffee shop has it all. Be sure to stop in and try a cortado if you have the chance! It will make your day

Really friendly staff that were happy to help someone new to the Espresso Bar with great suggestions for fantastic drinks

Very good speciality coffee in Charlottesville! Wide selection of coffees from many different origins with knowledgeable baristas that can pull wonderful espresso. All coffee roasted in house, fresh and high quality. Usually plenty of seats and decent internet. The staff is a bit uptight though.

Bonus points for the home brew equipment available!
