I tried the Pumpkin Pie Latte, and it was absolutely incredible! I closed my eyes as I was enjoying half of it and imagined I was eating pumpkin pie because it truly tastes spot on!

I cannot speak for the food, but the coffee is some of the best I’ve had in America. My husband ordered a macchiato and I grabbed a vanilla iced coffee - two things that can be easily messed up. The iced coffee was perfection. The vanilla tasted real, was not overly sweet, and complemented the coffee perfectly. The coffee wasn’t overly acidic and had been brewed well - it wasn’t burnt tasting like many local roasters. The vibes were chill, there’s a ton of space to hang around, and the staff were delightful!

Great location and great vibes. I love the seating right by the window where you can see out. The coffee was great and they had plenty of options to choose from. I had the lavender lemonade cold brew which was the perfect coffee/lemonade balance. Delicious and refreshing on a hot day. I would definitely stop in again if I am in the area.

Anytime I'm in Charlottesville for business, I will breakfast or lunch at Grit. Coffees (my wife's hot cappuccino and my iced latte) weren't just good...they were great! Baristas and manager were personable and helpful, both with the menu and with some local intel. Espresso/coffee quality is superb, and drinks were customized and blended perfectly, and served with nice heavy glassware when dining in. Breakfast sandwiches were also excellent, and when requested well done they were happy to oblige. Lots of seating and cool vibe and atmosphere. Wish I could give 6 stars.

I went to this location and ordered a simple drip coffee and it tasted like hot water. I tried all the drip coffees that was made and it all tasted the same. The person that helped me tasted the coffee too and she knew that coffee wasn’t good. I was offered an Americano but I’ve never had anyone at any coffee shop make that well so I declined. I should have just gotten my money back. I had to wait a long time to get waited on and there were only 3 people inside the store. There was a lot of personal chitchat going on with the customer and employee that kept me waiting. I definitely would not go back to this location anyway.

Dropped in opening day...and then three times the same week! Great coffee with a succinct menu and fun seasonal drinks. The baristas Natalie & Mary were super hospitable. Love the comfy corduroy chairs!
