Shenandoah Joe Ivy

As someone with a compromised immune system, I really appreciate Shenandoah Joe for taking the current pandemic seriously and creating a safe environment for customers. I always get mine to go, but since Covid-19 changed all of our lives, I have been sticking close to home. The only place I've actually gone into since June is Shenandoah Joe, about three times a week. I don't stay long, maybe 5 minutes or so, but I feel safe there and am happy to see that just about every customer that comes in and out is also wearing a mask.

When I want a nice latte and a quiet place to study I always go to Shenandoah Joe off of Ivy. The people are always wonderful to me there and always strive to make my experience happy one, especially the manager Amy, Eva, and Charlie. I always suggest and bring in multiple friends for study groups here at least four times a week. I haven't been able to do that recently because the AC hasn't been working for quite some time now. It is ridiculously hot in there. It's cooler outside than it is inside the shop and its the middle of the summer. I have tried to sit and deal with the scorching heat and I just can't do it anymore. It's not like this problem has only been one day or two. It has been like this for a little over a week now. This place is normally packed with people and besides myself today there was only one other person in the shop. So unfortunately I am going to have to find another place to study where they know how to keep the AC running on a hot summer day. Oh and its one thing for me to be hot and discontent, because I can leave. The employees that have to stay there for their shifts are covered in sweat, dehydrated and uncomfortable. I feel terrible. I have seriously considered buying them a fan.....someone needs to fix this!

Anytime I'm in Charlottesville, Shenandoah Joe's is my go to coffee place. Friendly staff, knowledgeable baristas and reasonably fast service (especially in the morning when the line is half as long as the cafe). Easy access off the main road.

Just got two 16oz cups of Honduran. Absolutely the worst coffee I've tasted since GPC or Sanka.
This is not a matter of taste; I have had beans from Honduras sent to me from friends in that country. I believe it was brewed with using twice the amount of grounds required. I even added 4-6 oz of half n half to dull the extremely bitter and sour flavor not tyoucal of this type of bean, or any bean from any origin I've had.
For the very first time in my life I poured out the coffee instead of drinking it. I have had coffee from them before (french roast) and it was good.
Unfortunately, I didn't taste it until I reached my destination and did not go back to tell them.

Great service by very friendly staff this morning. I've passed by many times on my way to the office, but never stopped. Decided to stop in today and grab a coffee. Not disappointed. I'll definitely stop again.

An lovely coffee shop, which has definitely been discovered. The last couple of times the only i have gone there has only been room at tables outside. Friendly staff, wide array of caffinated drinks.

Great selection of coffee with a simple to order from menu. Very cozy atmosphere with an assortment of booths, tables, a couch , and outdoor seating. Watch you coffee brew right after you order it.

Cold brew A+. The almond pave was delicious too.... Oh, sense of humor and ambience, a bonus!!!

I think I need to say about my impression. I loved shenondoah Joe Ivy but I needed to wait for getting coffee while she (barista) have a chat with other people. She had conversation continously but other staffs seems to be hesitant to give a signal. I had the same experiences several times. Manager should know the fact your company lose customers while she is chatting.

Passed through Cville and stopped to see my friend Cooper, said man i could use some coffee, Coop says, man I know just the place. So I followed him over to Shenandoah Joe on Ivy Road. Before I left Cville we only had a handful of places making really and I mean realllllyyyyy great coffee. I live in LA now and we have a cosmic ton of coffee joints. I wish we had Shenandoah Joe, or atleast can find a guy ( or girl ) to make me a traditional every morning. Holy Jeebus, one of the tastiest cups ever !!! I think his name was Chris ,,,awesome cup man awesome.
the place is warm and has a pleasing atmosphere. it's spacious enough and they had many different coffee beans to choose from. took a pour over for the road and was sad when I reached the bottom of the cup. Will surely stop by again, great job guys love it
