Reviews of Grit Coffee, Stonefield (Coffee Shop)

rachel snyder

Great coffee shop! Super friendly staff and a decent amount of space inside to sit and do your own thing. It's not the quietest though if you're looking for somewhere to be completely silent when you work/study. But having that said, it's not loud either. Both the drinks I've had there were not the best but I think it's worth exploring more.

Most perfect cafe in Charlottesville! I wouldn’t search any further for the right shop! :) Delivers exceptional service and impeccable taste in their products/drink/items! HIGHLY sought after location and always recommended! Happy to stay at this gem for all things!

Very tasty coffee at a very reasonable price. Solid menu of baked goods as well, and plenty of room to hang out or get some work done. Grit is a classic CVille chain.

The atmosphere is good and the space itself is welcoming and very well lit. I do not like that there is inconsistency with their drinks. Some of the baristas are either not well trained or they just do a mediocre job with some drinks, e.g., café con leche and lattes, which is highly disappointing. However, what I find the most disappointing is the inconsistency of service. Some days when I visit I'm welcomed warmly by the baristas and receive great service. Unfortunately one of the younger female employees is very rude, I've had multiple interactions with her and she has been rude and even aggressive in her interactions with me. I do not understand why she would do that and I'm very sorry to rate the café a mere two stars due to the poor service from one employee but I believe this should be addressed so that other customers don't experience such bad service from her. Instead of feeling like I'm in a nice working environment I feel like I'm trying to understand why she has such negative attitude. Change this and I will gladly change my review as I enjoy the café itself and the multiple locations and light fare offerings.

Both locations are conveniently caffeinating:)

Willie Clay

Good coffee.

Kim Mahan

Great coffee, atmosphere, WiFi. Outdoor seating, and plenty of room/outlets inside

Michael Daubert

Best coffee in Charlottesville by far. This new location has a great feel inside and their training must be great because the coffee is just has great as their other locations. Had an iced americano and a hot flat white and both were great. This one even has good food options.

Daniel Snoke

Justin Margerum

Too expensive but typical cafe these days

Sergio Perkins

I had on old favorite of mine that you don't see that much this far from Texas, the cafe con leche the foam on this was exceptional. It was thick and rich and the boldness of the coffee held up well to my gulping, Yum. We were their about 4:30ish it was nice and quite. We also order fresh brewed tea that too about 5min but the wait was worth the while. Great experience .

Nicole Clark

Friendly, efficient service. Vegan and decaf options. Salads, the occasional pasta. Free Wi-Fi. What more do you want from a coffee shop?

Hayley Walters

The lattes were great! I had a reg. latte with a double shot of espresso.The staff were nice, and the food was average. Nice atmosphere - we went in on Easter day and it was very lively inside. Fair pricing and lots of options on the menu.

Erin Sweeney

Nice space, but had run out of half & half. Had no plans to get any the rest of the day either. Poor management and customer service.

Katie Holley

Super cute coffee shop. I ordered a mocha and it was so good! I also couldn't turn down their avocado toast with pickled red onions! If in Charlottesville again I will definitely visit Grit!

Deborah Hillhouse

Yummy flat white! #latteart

Antoine Taza

Great atmosphere. Good coffees!!!

Bradley Hallier

Nice place to drink coffee and work.

Nathaniel Preston

Friendly staff and great coffee. My Cuban was amazing best one I've ever had including the Cuban Coffee Queen in Key West. Wife got the Con Leche and it was great, perfectly foamed milk. Drank them too quickly for photos.

Nancy Moore

The BEST cafe con leche!

Craig Babcock

Always great service, staff has always been friendly and helpful. Lots of seating options, though it can be packed on weekends or some afternoons with students. Prices are pretty reasonable for the area.

Sydney Przyuski

Cute place with pretty good coffee. Not my favourite coffee in town but it's well priced.

Dewayne Morris

Good coffee, laid back atmosphere, and tons of people camped out working on Macbooks. Prices were pretty reasonable. Convenient to the movie theater.

Kathleen O'Brien

Good food, good coffee, small and cozy. Will def be back!

Cheryl Sandas

It's a nice coffee place. They do not have a full kitchen so the food offerings are a bit limited.

Todd Davis

So glad that Google sent me here instead of Starbucks. Better price & better coffee, also great location for shoppers

Ordered a triple shot of espresso and they gave me a double shot. They measured it and then added another shot to make it the proper 3 fluid ounces but then the two employees had a bad attitude and smug looks on their faces the rest of my visit. Will not return to any of their locations because of it. Plenty of coffee places to try... In response to your reply below. How are all of your shots called "double shots" when they are one fluid ounce? One fluid ounce is one shot. Is this some sort of gimmick you guys are running? Calling things something they are not is not good business practice and reassures my choice to not return.

Sam Yeargan

This place is my new favorite. They make a really great vanilla latte and the baristas are quick and friendly!

Anne Blair

Good coffee and great place to sit and read.

Laura Leger

Consistently good coffee, but kind of a weird vibe where everyone stares at you when you walk in. Unfortunately, they also sell marked up, way past prime baked goods. Try a rock hard croissant... If I were Marie Bette, I wouldn't want my name associated.

Elizabeth Kennedy

Tasty coffee and the barista was friendly, but the gal taking orders was obviously displeased that she had to do any work (I.e. ringing up a customer and writing their order on the cup) but otherwise it was a cute spot. Seems from the other reviews that struggles with customer service are not uncommon with this spot.

Alec Gaug

Good spot for wifi they have beer too! A bit pricy, but it is beer.

Golgothic Reality

This place used to be great, but it's changed a lot in recent years. They used to sell Trager Brothers coffee, but now they have their own roasters and I feel it has impacted the flavor. It was very crowded the last few times I went and the crowd there (read as "the regulars") made me feel like I wasn't welcome and didn't belong there. Very odd as most coffee shops are kin to all walks of life. Pricey too. They were cheaper but now they have the same prices as Starbucks, give or take. Shame. I used to love this place. Not anymore. Also they now have a policy where you can't bring in your own food. So if you go to Duck donuts and decide that you want Grit coffee, you can't have your cake and eat it too. Very disappointing.

Christopher Fuller

Really great coffee and specialty drinks. The space is modern, airy and a good place to meet colleagues, work, or just relax and enjoy watching the slight bustle of stonefield. A few things to keep in mind: The windows are west facing so there can be a lot of glare in the afternoons. It seems like a lot of college kids come here to study so the seating can be really full at certain times of the day during the school season.

Colin Whitehouse

Great location! Wish it was larger to sit inside on hot days, but a great hangout. It is right in the epicenter of all that is going on at Stonefield, so you can stop by in the midst of or after you go shopping or after watching a movie. Good, flavorful coffee. Definitely where all the hipsters crash to do remote work on their laptops. Love it!

Christine Spinetta

I really enjoy this place! Their coffee is really good, just the other day I got a latte with mint syrup and some chocolate sauce! It was so good, it felt like drinking Christmas. The vibe is very nice, the Baristas are fun, the chairs are comfy - at least the padded bench ones :-) I do wish that there was more seating available near the plugs... It can take a while to wait for one of the seats next to an outlet to open up.

Peter Berlin

Great place! For coffee, pastries and breakfast sandwiches. Can get a little crowded, but that’s true for any coffee shop with WiFi.

Ed Barrientos

Terrible customer service. We walked in with 6 people looking for great coffees. What we got was a bored and rude manager that acted as if we were disturbing his candy crush addiction on his phone by daring to walk into his coffee shop. I was even more surprised to hear that he was the visiting manager from another location nearby. When I complained about the service his response was that “not everyone can be overtly friendly and bubbly”, which is not what I was after. I only wanted a courteous and professional person on the other side of the counter. I will never go to this place again.

Jubilee Family Chiropractic

Cool location. We love having meetings out there. It can get a bit crowded because it is so popular.

C.Sunder Valliappan

Wifi is garbage.

Don Davis

Nice friendly staff and good coffee!

Jan-Willem Briede

Coffee cake was dry but coffee was ok

Luis Oscar Rodriguez

Best mocha anywhere ever

William Winter

I think Grit makes the best latte in Cville.

Al Fish

Great coffee, great service. It's one of the highlights of my trips north to see family - I stop here each time I go through Charlottesville.

Mollie Nichols

Slow,staff not attentive,ordered scrambled egg sausage and cheese,took order and didnt tell me that they dont serve scrambled eggs only fried.cook one order at a time. Would not recommend.

Alfred Cooper

I enjoy their coffee whether hot or cold. Definitely try the Nitro Brew coffee. It's delicious black with nothing added but the nitrogen.

Neal Gorman

This is my favorite place at Stonefield. Great coffee, good vibes inside. I like their downtown and Corner spots as well. Each of the locations are convenient in my path of travels around town.

Alana Romanella

Sandwiches were terrible - coffee is ok but definitely don’t eat there!

JOE A

Great coffee and whole beans to take home

Ravi Narayan

Excellent local small business coffee place. We need to encourage more of such local owned coffee houses

amy bucchi

Love trying local third waves. Cappuccino was all foam... barely tasted any coffee and what I did taste had somewhat of an astringent overtone. Barista couldn't take the time to smile or say thank you. I guess that ok for some people!

Anna White

I stop here whenever I'm in Charlottesville. The vibe is awesome and the coffee is even better.

Lauren Ann

It’s good to note that this location does not serve breakfast like the downtown location.

Nick Léger

Good espresso, friendly employees, and nice atmosphere. Recommended.

Coffee for the believers
