We reserved a private area of the coffee shop and kept an open tab for our guests, and everything was handled so smoothly. The staff was incredibly accommodating, kind, and attentive from start to finish. They made everyone feel welcome and went above and beyond to ensure everything ran seamlessly. They even had our reserved area roped off for our group and were so gracious in helping when other customers accidentally wandered into the space. It was clear they genuinely cared about making the experience special for us and our guests. The coffee was absolutely incredible, and the breakfast pastries and sandwiches were the perfect way to kick off the morning after the wedding. Everything was fresh, delicious, and exactly what everyone wanted after a weekend of celebrating. We couldn't have asked for a better place to gather one last time with our family and friends before everyone headed home. Thank you for helping make the final chapter of our wedding weekend just as memorable as the rest of it!

The strawberry matcha latte was pretty good.

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.

My friends and I went to Afton this past weekend for a quick getaway. Before the trip, I did some…read moreresearch on local coffee roasters, and Happ Coffee was easily at the top of my list. On our way to our Airbnb, a friend and I stopped by Happ, which is located inside an industrial-style building that's incredibly spacious. There's plenty of seating, along with a dedicated area where beans are available for purchase. The barista was really friendly, and we ended up having an in-depth conversation about drink recommendations. When I settled on a cappuccino, he walked me through how each milk option paired with the espresso. I ultimately chose whole milk since it doesn't have an overpowering flavor like almond milk, which allowed the light-roast espresso (an optional upgrade) to really shine. I didn't fully enjoy the cappuccino during the first couple sips because the mouthfeel of the whole milk felt a bit too thick, which didn't pair well with the light roast. However, it became more harmonious as I continued drinking, and the highlight was definitely the bright sweetness of the espresso. I really appreciate a coffee shop that pulls a light-roast espresso well. The barista asked for my thoughts, which I shared, and he then pulled me a shot using their South Paw (house espresso blend) beans to try. I thoroughly enjoyed this light-medium espresso, which was bright and strong, without the unpleasant acidity or bitterness that often follows. I don't typically recommend ordering a straight espresso shot at most coffee shops, but Happ does it well. Overall, it was a great experience -- lovely coffee and friendly baristas who genuinely care about their craft. I left with one of their limited-release coffees (a Peruvian Geisha), which I'm looking forward to trying as a pour-over at home.

Anyone who knows coffee and lives within a 50 mile radius of Trager Brothers in Afton (also a…read morelocation in Lovingston) has literally zero reason for not making this roaster and coffee shop a regular pilgrimage site. To paraphrase the Beatles, there's nothing I can say that can't be said, but man do I love, love, love this place. Excellent whole bean offerings, roasted to perfection by expert roasters. Delicious hot and iced coffee and espresso drinks that simply can't be replicated anywhere nearby--including, sadly, in my home town of Staunton (hey, Trager Brothers! There's a huge opportunity for expansion in the Queen City!). And top all that off with sublime, informed, and incredibly friendly front of house staff. Yeah, it's a little hard to find, but anything worth having is worth looking for. And in this age of googling and Apple mapping and whatnot, there's no excuse for not availing yourself to the BEST coffee in central Virginia. Y'all who might have read some of my other reviews will know: I usually have a minor nit to pick with even my five stars. Not so with the Brothers Trager, fam. Enter their shop and be greeted by the heavenly aroma of roasting coffee, the whir of a burr grinder, the quiet scream of a steaming wand, the genuine smile and friendly greeting of the barista. Now, you tell me: how could you possibly find a quibble worth the scribble?

If you're looking for a big ole store or facility that screams coffee shop, you're looking wrong. It's in in the far end of a building off to your right when you follow the signs. (seriously the signs are key here). When you enter the main building, you're hit with the awesome aroma of coffee... just head to the end and walk in the door. It's a cool shop that Is totally worth visiting. If anything, it's b/c of the high quality coffee they offer. There really isn't much to do here other than pickup great coffee but I guess I can't think of what else you'd really need. :) Cheers! Food Taste: great coffee!
