18 Grams Coffee Lab

Came in for a s’mores latte and boy the presentation didn’t disappoint. The flavor profile of the coffee was also delicious. As stated many times the cafe also doubles as a bike shop. I wasn’t sure how I would feel but the whole area had a very calming vibe with the overhead music. I could easily see myself setting up to work from here some days, surprisingly. The barista was also very polite and generous. I ordered the wrong latte for a friend and she made me the right one on the house. They offer pour over, which is my favorite way to have my coffee brewed. Looking forward to trying that. I definitely plan to be back!

My only caution, Expect to spend $9-$12 for a latte.

Very interesting concept. Coffee shop inside a bike shop. Welcoming vibe, friendly cashier. The double espresso shot with latte art and the blueberry muffin were delectable. The muffin actually tasted really delicious. I like the presentation as well. It’s a hidden gem.

Beautiful coffee shop that doubles as a beautiful bike shop. If I lived closer, I’d go there often when biking. I had an oat milk cappuccino and it was excellent. The store has some cool bikes on display and apparel from ASOS for sale. Could not be more appropriate considering the overall high end feel of the store. Rapha clothing would fit in well too… maybe they should call Rapha North America’s HQ in Bentonville and get something worked out.

My husband and I have been to 18 grams 3 times. We are from Richmond where the coffee scene is incredible. Let me tell you, 18 grams consistently gives knowledgeable service, always catering to our specific needs/tastes and tastes incredible. Culpepper has an absolute gem of a coffee establishment here. They always have Single Origin espresso available. I swear it is always pulled consistently. We order a cappuccino and a shot after and not only is the cappuccino’s foam identical every time, but the shot has little to no bitterness and is always balanced to perfection. I’m honestly baffled at this point. When 3/3 experiences are consistent, service is great, I have to give 5/5 stars. Thank you for continuing to deliver 18 grams!

Love the concept of a coffee shop with a bike shop attached! The staff was really attentive and helpful. The Monte Cristo was one of the best sandwiches I’ve had from a coffee shop. The black cardamom and orange blossom latte was incredible and not too sweet! Such a pleasant surprise to see such an upscale coffee shop in town.

This is really one of the best specialty coffee shops I have been to in Virginia. The staff is very educated and knowledgeable about coffee and what they serve and they are friendly and will answer all your questions. A lot of coffee shops have expensive machines and grinders but do not spend the time to dial in properly and get a well balanced shot. This place does and you can taste the difference. The breakfast food on offer is very good as well.

Food and coffee is worth it. Follow your senses smell, taste, and enjoy! Below is the Belgian Monte Cristo! I eat vegan six days a week for health. They have vegan, vegi friendly options.

Stopped in here for the first time last weekend and enjoyed a King's Cake latte during the Mardi Gras event downtown. The latte was exceptional and even though i got the order to go, the atmosphere inside seemed really chill. The service was great in the brief interaction that I had and I really like the bike shop that is attached and intended to check it out soon. Looking forward to coming back here.

Went here for brunch with my fiancé, we each ordered food and I ordered a dessert latte. The food was very good, and I appreciated that they had some relatively novel ingredients and flavor combinations. The coffee was robust. Being a dessert latte, it was also very sweet. The café is also joined with a bike shop. My fiancé is a bike enthusiast, and was impressed by some of the brands they offered for bike accessories. The overall atmosphere was relaxed, and quiet. I think this would be a great place to meet up with a friend, or spend some time reading or studying.

Great business! Arrived 5min before opening and the drink manager opened early for us. Coffee and food was amazing! Paper lids for the coffee to be environmentally friendly! Highly recommended the avocado roast and bacon egg and cheese crossiant.
