If you are looking for the best locally roasted coffee with the roast date on the bag [not the best used by date, this is important!], look no further. You can ask them to bag for you something they've roasted recently and just like that, freshly roasted full beans. I have bought dozens of bags of roasted beans from Ricks - there is nothing better than these beans in the grinder first thing in the morning/afternoon/evening/night.

I bought an excellent dark roast here, most places tend to burn that type of roast but these guys did it perfectly. They also have a type of coffee that is kept in oak barrels.

During the pandemic, it's takeout only. The coffee is from Guatemala and the menu diverse. Since I like more sweet drinks, I ordered their latte with brown sugar in it.

Xquizit Coffee Roasters on Caroline Street touts themselves as "The Original Downtown Coffee…read moreRoaster". Proprietors Gustavo (Gus) & Brianna Lopez import small batch coffee direct from villagers Gus personally knows in Guatemala. It's from volcanic high altitude soil - which are a couple of the signs that this is high quality coffee. But the proof is in the taste. You can purchase it in whole beans, ground, in a freshly brewed cup, or in a latte. Try them all! Gus is the businessman, gourmet roaster, and native Guatemalan; Brianna is the Barista who serves up your order with a smile that brings you back for another lb of fine Guatemalan coffee or another cup of brew! If you believe in supporting hard working Fredericksburg entrepreneurs who sell an excellent and very worthwhile product, visit Gus & Brianna at Xquizit Coffee Roasters on Caroline Street! PS - These great folks with their wonderful fresh roasted & briskly refreshing Guatemalan coffee are located inside Abner Butterfield's (Abner B's) Ice Cream Shop. Ice Cream & Coffee - can't be beat!

This has been our go-to for a little energy boost as we are passing on the I-95. It is located…read moreacross from the Waffle House on Warrenton Rd and next to the Sleep Inn Hotel on Iras Ln. It's a nice little stand alone coffee shop with indoor and outdoor seating, as well as a drive-thru. Immediately upon pulling into their well maintained parking lot, the exterior drew us in with a modern aesthetic and clean textured appearance. The inside continues the same appeal with their various seating arrangements and displays. We love, support, and appreciate their mission (evidenced by their merch & decor), which is to serve coffee and culture to those who love America. The service has always been phenomenal--friendly, helpful, and accommodating. We've come at less busy times so we haven't had to wait in line or wait long for our order to be fulfilled. They offer 5 signature beverages, aptly called "Hero Beverages, which consist: Liberty Bell (caramel & vanilla), Betsy Ross (wild blackberry & white mocha), Jet Fuel (spiced brown sugar & energy boost), 1776 (sea salt toffee caramel & mocha), and Smokey Joe (hickory smoke). These are available iced or hot. My go-to is the Liberty Bell. They also offer some tasty treats, sweet and savory. We've enjoyed their blueberry muffin and their sausage & egg on a waffle. I find that some of their food items have usually run out or have changed since our last visit. Granted, we usually get here mid-morning or later in the afternoon. There are 2 individual restrooms available, which are usually clean and well maintained. Overall, we enjoy stopping by this place for our little pick-me-up as we're passing through on our long trips. We also appreciate that we can support a business that are committed to upholding our military personnel, law enforcement, and first responders.

There's a lot of space inside along with a small "storefront" where you can buy merch and bags of coffee. I tried their spicy breakfast biscuit and really enjoyed it - perfect balance of flavor.

I really enjoyed the smooth flavor, I just might order it half sweet the next time.

With plenty of open and spacious seating, its a great place to sit back, enough some coffee and food, and just work, read a book, or even relax. Food wise, the pastries are delicious. Not overly sweet as they may appear, but can absolutely fill a sweet craving. The coffee was quite tasty and delightful. The staff is friendly and attentive to each patron. The prices may seem higher than other coffeeshops, but that's can be expected in the heart of Fairfax. Overall, a great coffeeshop that I love to frequent when I'm in the area.

My favorite thing though? Their fun monthly coffee samplers. It's such a creative idea and keeps things interesting. They rotate flavors that match the season, so there's always something new to try. I always get things iced and add the whip, so much better than hot coffee! Honestly though, the coffee will depend on the barista because it seemed to have a new person each month and it tasted so different even when I went back twice to get the same sampler. Thats my only reason for a 4 star. If you love switching up your coffee shops and discovering new favorites, the monthly sampler alone is worth the visit.

They roast single origin coffees onsite and sell them in completely biodegradable pods, which only stay on their shelves for up to 30 days so the coffee always tastes super fresh. They are not like other biodegradable pods you may see for sale elsewhere, these actually ensure you get a fantastic cup of coffee each time. I started talking to the baristas, Lisa and Anastasia, and shared that I used to work for Starbucks and was amazed how the same coffee could taste completely different if it was prepared differently. Lisa promptly took out two bags of coffee and prepared a pour over of each. They were the same beans, but roasted at different temperatures. She gave tastes to me and another customer. It was amazing how different the coffees tasted, and they even had different colors. It was such a cool experience! I bought a box of Columbia medium roast pods, which I've been enjoying every day this week. They have several coffees available to try, along with pastries and made to order sandwiches. It's located in an industrial area, off the main road, but is well worth the trip if you're looking for some delicious coffee. It's become my go to coffee roaster in the Richmond area.

It was much livelier (more customers and staff) on the weekend and the drinks took less than 2 minutes to come out. On a few indoor tables there are no laptop signs and when the weather's nice, the outdoor tables fill up. The staff is very helpful in recommending types of milk that would pair well for certain drinks. The mango sticky rice is a favorite with our family. Matcha, a surprising crunch when you get a bit of the crispy rice, and (not too) sweet refreshing soda. They suggest sipping a bit before stirring due to the carbonation. Next we liked the Sumo Spritz which gives a sweet citrus taste to the coffee. The match in bloom is more floral, and while we liked it, our family favored the other two more.
