18 Grams Coffee Lab

What a great hidden gem, right here in Culpeper! If your looking for the best quality coffee and not sugary drinks, you will love this place. (Truly for the coffee connoisseur !)
It also offers a small but very very good selection of lunch items to choose from, along with assorted other drinks and pastries.
*Where this place absolutely shines is the friendly staff!*
It is a clean, bright and relaxing place to visit. Bring a book or your tablet, grab something at the counter, and sit and enjoy!

Best latte in town. Staff is super friendly, I don’t know see how everyone had a bad or rude barista situation but we never did. Continue making it great. Love the atmosphere it’s like a city vibe in a country town. You will have to snap out of it and realize you’re in culpeper still after you drive out of there lol 18 grams is the best escape from the country vibe for sure. Again...great coffee ☕️.

Coffee was good but its hard to fully enjoy it when some of the staff (if you're a local you all probably know who) is really rude to customers. Rather get my coffee from other great coffee shops.

(5 stars for food/beverage, one for customer service.) Food and coffee were superb, along with the setting. What was far from excellence was the barista!!!! I get it, you aren’t Starbucks and take pride in your craft, but goodness you were condescending and rude to us and every other customer that came in. I felt like this was a skit out of Portlandia or Seinfeld with the snooty hipster barista. (To be fair, there were 2 baristas, the one with the ponytail was pleasant and could tell he cringed anytime the main barista spoke.). Keep the graying short hair barista away from customers and behind the scenes and you’ll be fine : )

The experience is unique, the coffee is meant for people who like coffee .... if you’re someone after the new sugarbucks extreme energy candy drink, you might wanna stuck to your chain store, if you’re after a trendy new experience that offers coffee for coffee lovers you will enjoy. It shares a space with a high end bike shop but that seems to add to the experience so I’m not mad at the space share .... great hidden treasure

This is truly one of the best lattes I’ve had in a while. While I went to see if good coffee did in fact exist on this long stretch of road north of my mom’s house, my visit was just as much about seeing what that awful review of the barista was all about 😂...I just had to know how someone’s feathers could get ruffled so badly over coffee. After the visit, I had a better understanding, but I liked him. I found him to be very knowledgeable and he clearly loved his job. I think 18 Grams is lucky to have a barista like that. People visiting will most definitely have a lack of knowledge in comparison to him and that can be intimidating. But, a lack of knowledge is not a weakness, an unwillingness to learn is...this is his time to show off and get people excited about that amazing coffee. Definitely check this place out if you’re in the area....great coffee, great staff...I hope it stays in business for a long, long time 😊

It’s hard to write a review for this business. The food and coffee were good, and the service was good from one of the two guys behind the counter. The other guy (ok, we all know who) was passive aggressive, and surly. Maybe he doesn’t know that he’s like that. But this is a recurring theme, so maybe some introspection?

bad customer service. i noticed the staff isn’t treated right. good coffee tho, just overpriced. bad flavor selections, someone turned off the wifi while I was in the middle of a test as a struggling college student, kind of annoying.

Best coffee in Culpeper area. Real espresso. Single Origin coffee options. For those who actually love coffee and the art of the perfect cup.

The aesthetic of this coffee is amazing. Very friendly staff and knowledgeable. Also love the fact that they have a bike shop as well!
