Reviews for Grit Coffee, Downtown in Charlottesville, VA
Morning walk to downtown Pedestrian Mall in search of coffee from our hotel. Greeted by two women working, and I do mean... working, not a second of rest, this place was busy! But they were so friendly! Small standing area to wait for order, ampleseating in back room, several bar stools at counter area, and outside seating available. We waited 15+ minutes for our drinks.In the time from our entry into the shop from us leaving, approximately 20 minutes, the batista did not stop making drinks for asecond. The second batista was equally busy taking orders and serving food. They were a well-oiled machine, working together. Iordered an iced Chai coffee with almond milk, hands down THE best Chai flavor I've had! It was worth the wait! Now, knowing howgood the coffee was, I wished we had ordered food...next time!

Pretty disappointed. I got a spooky boo latte and it was luke warm at best and lacked any flavor. Staff seemed really... disorganized and cashier left the register and ignored the line for at least 5 minutes to label cups. *Edited review to updateto 3 stars. I appreciate the follow up on my experience. Read more
Went here Sunday morning. Read good reviews and saw a long line so I assumed coffee was good. Ordered a spooky bear latte and a... hot chocolate for my husband. The latte wasn?t hot, I know they were busy but I?d be patient for my latte to come as ordered. Myhusbands hot chocolate he said was really bad, didn?t taste much chocolate and when we took the lid off to look it was barelydarker than just milk. I could tell they were short staffed and I feel bad leaving this review but staff were not evenacknowledging that there were people in line, just seemed to ignore them until they caught up with the online orders.

I have been going to this Grit location for years and it?s usually a great experience. Yesterday, I ordered a ?macchiato? and... got a blank stare. The barista said, with an attitude, ?We?ll just make you a latte?, which is not what I wanted. Have neverhad a barista not know how to make a ?macchiato? ! ?? Read more

Super friendly, helpful barista. Had the High Five and it was super tasty. I really only wandered in looking for a drink and a... restroom (hard to find on the Downtown Mall), but I really enjoyed my drink (and restroom!) so much that I will plan to comeback! Right across from the incomparable Magpie Knits, so great location! Read more
One of the best iced mochas I?ve ever had!! Definitely a favorite spot for coffee in Charlottesville. I also got the omelette... with goat cheese and bacon, which was phenomenal. Super filling (felt like 2 servings to me), but incredibly delicious. Wouldhighly recommend. Read more
