After dealing with the stress of court buildings I stopped by for some coffee... I stepped into a…read morecute coffee shop that made me feel at home. I was warmly welcomed , I had told them it was my first time and the two girls explained what their favorites are along with customers favorites. The entire interaction was genuine and wholesome. Good job to the girls making food and drinks, their attitudes were absolutely outstanding. Now the coffee.... Best coffee I've ever had hands down!! This place is 40 minutes from my house but this will definitely be a weekly stop!

Introduction:…read more Finishing up the last 2 of the prior to 2018 to 2024 runner-ups to non-DMV picks in alphabet series. First of two 2024 runner-ups, B is for Bethel Brews. Although this is technically not in the DC-Baltimore area as it's geographically closer to Richmond & Charlottesville areas, I'm counting it for these reasons: 1. It was a good runner-up for the letter B, which my original pick was truly out of town by Smith Mountain Lake, also in Virginia, but way southwest. 2. This place was great, so I wanted to get around to reviewing 3. I had Louisa County, VA work travel twice in March & April 2024 and was rolled into the BAWA (Baltimore-Washington area) work market, perhaps because the Virginia market, which includes Richmond & many areas to the south & west is such a vast land area with many counties, they barely rolled Louisa into BAWA market. Experience here: Staff greeted me and was friendly. On Monday, March 4, 2024, I got a wrap & fries. It really hit the spot. Excellent wrap & fries at a reasonable price. I think I got one of their coffees that day, but definitely did in April as I have photo of the drink. On Monday, April 15, 2024, I remembered it was a great lunch option that I decided when in Rome to go back, got a fruity chicken salad, which was also solid. I was tired from all the driving and got some latte I think; it was delicious. I haven't been back to Louisa County since April 2024 work travel, but if I ever am, I'd try to return.

They took it back we scraped off the ingredients and recooked the hot dogs which were now overdone. My barbecue sandwich came with hardly any meat. The meat did not even cover the bun. And no barbecue sauce was available. In the midst of all of this, a woman was mopping the floors and cleaning the bathrooms which I can appreciate. But the smell of cleaning solution was so strong you could taste it. The food has never been great here but satisfactory. I don't know what has changed but the last few times that we have gone we've had the same sort of issues. I don't believe we will return

It's in an industrial shopping center, which allows for a lot of space.

They have a slew of delicious lattes and chais (among many things) but I have a thing for their honey latte. Not too sweet--just divine. The employees are friendly. They are all young--teens and very early twenties so forgive them a little for being distracted here and there. I was looking at all the artisan items for sale before approaching the counter to order. The nice guy at the counter was worried I had been standing there a long time. Nope! All good!

Please note that there is an extra charge for almond and oat-milk, but not other non-dairy milks. Have only tasted the maple pecan scone because it is so delicious and must have it. My husband tried the egg and cheese biscuit, but would not get again due to the tiny size for the cost. Wish they were not so busy as inside seating can be a challenge. They post unexpected closings/delayed openings on Facebook. Go check them out!

It was quite busy on a weekend afternoon but the wait wasn't too long. They have a larger menu than I expected with both drinks and food, as well as coffee beans named after local streets. As someone who isn't a huge coffee drinker, I appreciate their long list of specialty drinks. The cinnamon roll latte and hot honey chicken biscuit I tried were great! The drinks are slightly out of my price range but I'd go back to treat myself.

My daughter told me it was a cross between Gilmore Girls and Hamrocks (where she used to waitress in City of Fairfax). Decorated for Christmas ADORABLY, we loved everything. I had the spiral beet salad (I will be dreaming about that citrus dressing FOREVER) and both my husband and daughter loved the French dip. Service was great and the hostess was excited to show us inside. This was exactly what we needed today after a funeral in Short Pump.

I was there with my young daughter so she grabbed a bottled lemonade and a fix decorated sugar cookie. I got a cortado with a chocolate croissant to dip in. We sat at the hightop seating in front of the coffee counter. I liked the pace and offerings of this cafe and I would definitely go back. I want to try one of their affogatos! (they also just sell delicious looking gelato by the scoop!)

I'll definitely be back with my husband for another coffee and hopefully to try the "aussie sausage roll"--my scottish husband misses his sausage rolls! They had a good drive thru service going and we were the only walk up customers while we were there, but I'd definitely park and hang again at the nice play/sitting area, and maybe sometime i'll drive thru for a quick java too.

The owner was yelling, cursing, and aggressively berating her in front of others inside the ice cream building. At one point, they were pounding their fist on the table while calling the employee insulting and degrading names. No employee deserves to be spoken to or humiliated that way, especially in a workplace environment. It created a very hostile and upsetting atmosphere for both staff and customers. Professionalism and basic respect toward employees should be expected from any business owner. Because of what I witnessed, I would not feel comfortable supporting this business again.

We got a pain suisse and two coffees. She was shocked by the high prices. I'm fine with that when the experience matches. Sadly, neither of us liked our coffees at all and literally threw them out after a few sips. They only had Stevia (vs Splenda, Equal or others), which may be what skewed the flavor for me. The pasty was good, nice and flaky. I find the staff to not be overly friendly. They had a steady line, so clearly a lot of people love this place and I have had some stellar desserts. But if I can't get a good cup of coffee, sit in a cute area (they have no inside space), I will choose another spot.
