I was impressed by this tiny coffee shop! Though many other coffee shops around it had many more…read morereviews, I took a chance and stopped in for a morning pick-me-up on my way to Richmond. I asked the cashier what he recommended and the barista (Madison) chimed in when she heard us talking about how a lot of hazelnut syrups have a weird nutty aftertaste. I told her "dealer's choice" and she made me the yummiest oat milk latte with I believe two pumps honey and one pump hazelnut, which was the perfect balance for my coffee to not have that weird nutty aftertaste. The place was bustling with people when I went, so I'm not sure why they don't have many reviews (perhaps they recently opened?). Either way, they have experienced baristas, friendly service, and high quality coffee.

They use torani syrups for flavored beverages which I didn't realize until I ordered my coffee. I got a toffee and cream cold brew which was ok.

Shenandoah Joe is a cozy coffee shop in a Charlottesville strip mall. My boyfriend and I stopped…read morehere for some coffees and a cookie after my appointment at UVA. I had a hot vanilla latte and he had an iced latte. Our drinks were ready pretty quickly and we settled in at a two-top by the window.

Excellent coffee and tea in downtown Charlottesville. The quality of the coffee beans paired with…read moreartfully crafted espresso drinks is probably the best in the city. The baristas are excellent at making coffee, friendly, and the seasonal drinks are creative. They have a cardamom syrup that's delicious in lattes. The shop itself is very cute, with a handful of tables and stools at the counter. There's a couple of tables outside too. I wouldn't recommend trying to get work done here during a busy time since it's not a huge space.

We decided to explore Downtown Charlottesville this past Saturday afternoon while we were on a…read morequick weekend getaway. As usual, I'm looking for the best coffee roaster to go to, and Lone Light Coffee was on the top of my list in this area. The coffee shop is on the smaller side, but it was warm and comfortable. The baristas were nice and three of them gave me their input on which single origin I should choose for my pour-over. POUR-OVER - MKT Price +6.50 for Mohammed Aba Nura - Ethiopia (tasting notes: Strawberry, white chocolate, hazelnut) I wanted the craziest tasting option they had, and they recommended this one since it's pretty popular and well-liked among customers. However, one of the barista said he didn't really like it himself. I figured I should still try it. The sips I had while it was still warm was pretty juicy and sweet, but I really didn't like the notes once it cooled down (about 20 minutes later), which tasted sour and off-putting. I should have listened to that one barista and went with a different single origin option. Overall, good roaster -- just unfortunate that I tried something that wasn't for me. The baristas seem knowledgeable and passionate about their craft. I would love to come back next time and try another single origin offering.

I've tried the matcha latte in the past and it wasn't my favorite, but their coffee? Amazing! I got a medium iced caramel latte with skim milk and cold foam. It was the perfect milk to espresso ratio -- not too much so that it loses the coffee taste but not too little that the espresso is overpowering. The caramel flavor was just the right amount of sweetness. They topped it with a nice drizzle as well, making the drink super pretty (if you care about that sort of thing). The coffee shop itself is very cute inside & it has plenty of seating if you're looking to catch up with a friend or get work done. If you're in Charlottesville and you don't stop at SK for a drink, you're missing out!

I don't ever leave one star reviews but it is not safe. I ate my sandwich at first and couldn't finish it because it smelled like the floor.

So it's not safe and they really should start diluting the fabuloso or just stop using it completely because it smells and tastes exactly like it.
