AMAZING coffee- they only sell regular cups of coffee for ONLY $2, and they have several different roast options. fresh bags of coffee beans for only $14 (i bought one that was roasted the same day!) very high quality and honestly way under-priced. Super nice workers and cool vibe. 10/10 recommend. read more

This is a unique coffee place. You can sample a variety of hot coffees for free and then choose your favorite for only a couple dollars (12 oz cup). You can also buy the beans here. The people are super nice and helpful. If you love coffee then you will love this place! read more

Finding this place was a strange combination of smelling roasting coffee and seeing the word "ROASTERS" as we zipped by a couple years ago. We were in disbelief at first, but decided to turn around and take a chance. Who would have thought you'd find such a gem by accident? CC is the closest I'll get to the roaster living in northern Virginia. Their varieties are great, environmentally friendly and competitive in price to the premium brands you'll find in stores. The staff are very friendly and you can tell they're true coffee (and nature) lovers. We usually find a reason to be in the area once or twice a year. Note they do not sell coffee beverages like most people would think, as they're a roaster. They do have small cups available for a $1 donation (to the Potomac Appalachian Trail Club, I think) and they do have tiny sample cups to try the different beans, but that's about it. read more

best place to get black coffee in virginia, still got me thinking about it a week later, the hints of fruits and chocolate are uncomparable :) read more

I have been going to Rappahannock County a lot lately either for hiking or wine tastings. Coming down from the Skyline, we were needing coffee at the time and was gonna speed up to look for a convenient store in Front Royal. As we drove by Sperryville, we almost passed this place and had to make a u- turn because we caught a glimpse of the word"Coffee" from outside. Our extra effort to make a u-turn did not disappoint! So since it's a coffee roaster, technically it's not a coffee shop. They don't have latte etc. But, they offer selections of dark coffee (Panama, Ethiopia, PNG) and provided milk, sugar, and creamer. The coffee is fresh as the beans are roasted right behind the counter!!! I tried Panama and it was really earthy. My boyfriend had Ethiopia and it was super strong and acidic. By the way, a cup of coffee is ONLY $1 and you're contributing to a fair coffee trade. They also use a fettuccine pasta stick as a stirring stick, which is super environmentally friendly. The staff who works there is also very friendly and told us the greatest overlook at Shenandoah NPS. He even recommended us to go to surrounding coffee shops nearby if we are looking for cappuccino or latte. Why do that? This coffee coffee roaster is amazing!! This roaster needs to have its name on the map as one of the best coffee "shops" in Sperryville! Worth the stop :) read more

We realize that we can order their coffee from them online but we make it a point to stop in whenever we're passing through Rappahannock County! The staff members are warm and friendly. Very knowledgeable of their products, they will take the time to help you figure out what coffee will suit your tastes - if you have any questions, let them know! They'll discuss roasting methods, flavor profiles, acidity levels, and many other topics. Like your coffee on the lighter side? I'd suggest the Kitchen Sink Blend (their signature blend, probably light-to-medium overall), or the Brasil (a flavorful medium roast). Dig the dark? Sumatran all the way! No matter what you're getting, make sure to check out the artwork on the front of every bag! The staff also seems to keep music from local artists at hand. Gotta love local support! I want to say that they're only open on the weekends, so make sure to confirm hours before driving out. If you get a chance, make sure to give them a visit! We don't live anywhere near Central Coffee Roasters (it's a shame!) but we always look forward to stopping in as part of our visits home. read more

Great little place in Sperryville VA, don't let the outside fool you. Inside is all the imported coffee flavors you need. It smells like coffee heaven when you walk in! They are only open on weekends. You can sample several coffees before you buy too! I LOVE the Ethiopian and Peruvian. They have a website you can order from too! Great staff! read more

The flavored coffee, the latte, even the machiatto have become distant memories since visiting this place. So many to choose from--Panama, Teaberry, Sumatra are among my favorites. Coffee fresh from the ROASTER-mmmmmmm. I no longer need sugar or cream, it hides the full flavor of these beans. It is an hour drive for me but sooooo worth it. The owner is very personable and informative, the shop is clean and rustic with only a few well placed pieces of art and shelves with coffee. In the back, all that can be seen are barrels and barrels of beans. The beans are so fresh they still have an oily coat. You can try most flavors for only $1 a cup! You will never find this place on your own-it is truly in a tiny white building in the middle of nowhere. To think I almost drove right by..... read more

Wife and I finally stopped in to sample the coffee here after driving by about a zillion times. What were we thinking?! Why didnt we stop before this?? First, its a buck for a good sized cup of coffee. There are several to choose from and sample before you decide. This coffee is fantastic. Wonderful flavor. Second, the kind lady (the wife aside of the owners) helping us was terrific. Very nice, very chatty and just helped make this a most pleasant visit. One bag of 12oz coffee cost us, I think 10.99. About grocery store prices for "gourmet" coffee. Except this stuff really is. On your way to or from Sperryville, do stop in and grab a bag of coffee. Dont wait til the zillionth time like we did, you wont regret it. read more

Great spot to grab a good cup of coffee. Self serve with suggested price of a dollar going to charitable contribution. A number of different coffees to choose from. The owners roast onsite. Beautiful backyard with lots of interesting plants planted by the owners next to a creek. It is a little hard to spot the place on your first visit-drive slowly...or you will pass it. read more

The coffee is some of the best that you can find within 100 miles. You can order online and pickup outside in a super covid safe way. If you love great coffee you have to give this place a try. read more

Excellent service. Enjoyed the opportunity to sample the various brews prior to purchasing some beans. At a buck for a cup of great coffee, how can you not like it? The freshly roasted coffee goes fir a very reasonable $12 for 12 ounces. read more

I've been getting my coffee by mail from a roaster in PA. Always had good luck there but now that I found this hidden gem of a place I guess I'll have adjust to the change. I found Central Coffee one day after missing a turn while out on the motorcycle. Fate. I stopped in, had a great cup, and picked up three bags of freshly roasted beans. The next week or so I was constantly looking forward to that next cup. I'm fortunate to WFH. I haven't settled on a favorite yet. So far I would look forward to any one of the roasts I bought home. I'll keep trying their different varieties but I'll probably never settle on a particular favorite. While you are there, check out the beautiful art on the wall. I don't know the technique or history behind any of it but it is beautiful. read more

Jeez, I've been going through Sperryville since the 1960s, before there was a Rt. 211 bypass around Washington, VA. More recently, I used to drive past Central CRs thinking it was perhaps a wholesaler doing roasting for the Little Inn and local B&Bs. Then, one day after leading trail crew for PATC, I decided to investigate. The building looks like a "double-wide" situated next to the Thornton River, but once you step inside, you are enveloped by the smell of fresh roasted coffee. Turn right and you'll walk into the retail area with fresh-roasted varieties stacked on the back wall. To your left on the counter are thermal coffee dispensers where you can get a nice, fresh cup of hot coffee. I've never found the parking to be a challenge. There's plenty of space on both sides of the building. Just don't drive too fast, or you'll be past CCR in a flash (but there are plenty of places to turn around....) The coffee is fresh, prices are reasonable, and Maggie and the staff are chatty and sociable. You will LIKE the coffee, and there is an ever-changing variety being roasted and offered up for sale. If you're in the area or headed to Shenandoah National Park via the Thornton River entrance, by all means stop in. You will not be disappointed. If you love coffee, it's a mandatory stop. I roast my own small-batch coffee, but still stop in to get a bag or two when I'm in the area. Highly recommended. read more

This place has a nice selection of excellent coffees. A tiny place that is basically just for picking up a couple of bags and going, but the owners always remember us and are very friendly. read more

Have been wanting to stop by Central Coffee for several years. It's on the way to SNP and makes an excellent stop. When we went this weekend, they had about six brews available for tasting, and one could optionally purchase a large cup for $1 (yes, $1). Also, a number of beans one could purchase, as well as some interesting art. The folks working the counter were super easy going and friendly, without being "coffee snobby". Would highly recommend and will certainly be back. read more

A few days after moving to the teeny town of Sperryville I turned and asked a new friend what that delectable aroma was because it definitley wasn't nature..And that is how I found Central coffee! Wonderful coffee that specializes in fair trade beans. The owner is very knowledgable about her craft and easy to talk to. The bags run around $10 and considering 1 cup from starbucks is about $4 it's a great deal. Try it once and you'll be spoiled. read more

10/10 experience. The coffee is great and the customer service is better. A bearded man who works here has the utmost knowledge when it comes to these locally roasted, fairly traded beans. I'll probably never come back though because I live 12 hours away, but I'm very sad about that fact. Gr8 coffee, gr8 coffee roasters would recommend: read more

Great coffee beans, likeable staff. I really want this place to be something more. Maybe I'm spoiled by small retail coffee shops with espresso, comfortable places to sit, and snacks or light food options. I'm not local, maybe not in their target market. I'll return to buy more coffee beans periodically, but on each visit I spend more time (and more money) in Sperryville at other merchants with food service and public restrooms. read more

I came across this business somewhat by accident as I was searching for the toaster that supplies the coffee to the Inn at Little Washington. I am not sure if Central Coffee does so but I ordered some coffee via their website and have not regretted it. In my view, they roast some of the best coffee I have tasted. My favorite is the Kitchen Sink Blend. I should go and visit them since I am not that far away in Arlington, VA. read more

We always stop here to pick up a few bags of the Guatemalan beans when we're out in the Shenandoah. For our taste, it's some of the best coffee in the world. And for a buck a cup, it's the perfect place to stop for brewed coffee. Don't bother waiting for the Starbucks in Warrenton. They have several other roasts and you can always sample before you buy. They're always very helpful if you have questions. read more

Best local roast around. I believe you can purchase at Fair Lakes Whole Foods for NOVA folks, but I swing by every few weeks as I'm in Sperryville often. Nice variety and super friendly staff. A few tips - Parking can be tight and they are only open on weekends. You can sample several coffees as well as purchase a cup for a $1 donation to PATC. Owner does the artwork on the bags as well. Amazing beans and frequently rotating in new offerings. read more

This is the best coffee I've ever bought. Worth every penny. I always stop if I'm in the area and get some. Great family too.

Great coffee and the staff are incredibly friendly. I'm in the area a lot for fly fishing and I always make a point to stop by and buy some beans. It ends up being a nice high point to the day. read more

Delicious coffee in beautiful bags designed by printmaker Maggie Rogers, who is always gracious and armed with a great story -- great music venue on select evenings, too! read more

We stopped here on our way out to Skyline Drive. The boyfriend has been before and knows one of the sons, so we had to at least pop in and say hello. As others have mentioned, this isn't a coffee house so don't expect to be able to get a latte or anything. You can get a cup of coffee for $1 donation o the ATC, (which is awesome) and you can buy some fair trade beans. That's it. Oh, and sample the delicious coffees. No fluffy, milky, sugary madness that barely resembles coffee like you find at Starbucks. I normally at least like a splash of milk in my coffee but the stuff here is so smooth that I found I didn't need it. The owners are super friendly and the place is very cute. There's also a beautiful little stream running behind the building and a bench to sit on. According to the owner, sometimes they have live music there in the building as well. No public restrooms, though maybe they make an exception for live music night. read more

Central Coffee is the best! High-quality, perfectly roasted beans every time. Super friendly owner and excellent price for quality coffee. We've been buying our coffee here for years and, although they will ship on-line orders, we like to stop by Sperryville to pick up our selection in person, just for a good excuse to go for a Sunday drive or motorcycle ride. Well worth the trip from Charlottesville area. I would be very sad indeed if Central Coffee ever closed. read more

Simple, yet amazing. No loud espresso machines or over-the-top coffee styles here - Central Coffee just serves a variety of high quality, fresh roasted coffee in a pleasant, friendly setting. Maggie, the owner, goes to great lengths to source the best beans from around the world and bring them to this quiet little town in the VA mountains. Stop by here on your way to and from the Shenandoah National Park. read more

Take the time to stop in this coffee roasters on your way to Skyline Drive! Coffee is a dollar a cup and you can choose from many varieties on the counter to try. If you like your choice, purchase a bag to take with you. Owners are always soo pleasant to talk with during our visit. Enjoyable place to stop. read more
