Grit Coffee, UVa Corner

I've been to this local coffee shop twice and have enjoyed. It's a busy UVA student haunt off The Corner.

The small gabled building that sits on a dead end road by train tracks is cute. There is no street parking. However garage parking is across the street.

Staff was friendly as I walked in. I ordered an ice coffee variety that was pretty good. They offer bites, but did not notice what was available.

I would return.

As a UVA student... my favorite coffee shop. Reasonably priced, cute ambience, and the coffee's great. The seasonal and flavored drinks are great, but even the standard café drinks are a hit every time. Baristas are polite, warm, and knowledgeable!

I got a bag of the whole bean la pastora coffee and it had a rock in it. The rock could have broken my expensive burr grinder. Unacceptable. I will never buy coffee here againUpdate 10/14/23: Grit replied to my review and they sent me a replacement bag of la pastora as well as a bag of Dominican Ramirez estate coffee and some stickers. I appreciate the customer service and their attempt to make things right. My original review was 1 star but I am bumping it up to 4 stars because of how they remedied the situation but I do hope they improve quality control to prevent rocks from getting in the beans

A cute college-centric caffee with pleasant atmosphere and strong wifi. 3 outside tables but next to a railroad, be ready for some train noise from time to time.The matcha latte barely had any matcha, I have never seen such light green color (seems it is a general problem with matcha in Charlottesville). The croissants were very chewy.

Best coffee in Charlottesville.Parking sucks though.

Great coffee shop. Relatively average in atmosphere but I loved the upstairs area with a quiet space to study and work. Great coffee!

Very mediocre coffee. The beans were over cooked and the staff didn’t seem to care about serving me.
