Gathering Grounds was really great! The host was so welcoming and helpful, we were planning to just…read moreget some coffee and breakfast sandwiches to go but he invited us to sit for a minute to look at the menu and the café had such a nice atmosphere, we decided to take the time to eat in. Wonderful pancakes, egg sandwich, and avocado toast. My eggs were a little past over-easy but it was the only thing that wasn't perfect (and the host offered to have them redone but I said it was fine). We got a blueberry cream cookie and a lemon bar as an appetizer because sometimes we're a little extra and they were SO GOOD! I love a good pastry case and theirs was top notch. There were plentiful refills on the coffee (nice and hearty brew). Our server was so attentive and nice that we tipped extra. Just an all-around surprisingly excellent experience here.

I stopped in for a late lunch on a Saturday and the place was busy! As fall foliage is over, I can…read moreonly assume these are locals. That tells me I've discovered something, since locals know the best places to go. I changed my plan from a soup and sandwich to a sandwich with a side based on my (outstanding) servers' recommendation. I selected the 'Monaco' but all the options looked good (and I love the names). Since it's a coffee shop I stayed for a cappuccino, which was served in an adorable tiny cup Great service. Not a fancy place but doesn't pretend or need to be.

Service: 5/5 pretty quick, VERY busy but that's likely because it was the only coffee shop open in Luray at 10am on Sunday. Everyone was super nice! Ambiance: seating indoors and outdoors, larger table near the bathroom if you have a bigger party but generally seating for 2-4.

I believe the person that took our order and was working is the owner of the establishment. Super sweet person greeted us when we came in. Took our order. Told us about the history of the building itself. Her love of the shop and the passion she has for it. I cannot say anything about the food because we didn't eat anything. But even the regular coffee was smooth and not bitter. If it's on your way to or from wherever your destination is, it's something worth stopping in and give a try! It might just be your next go to coffee shop!

I tried the chicken salad sandwich and it was incredibly satisfying. The store deserves an exploration and has a little bit of everything. I took some homemade kimchee home and it was quickly gone, best I have had in many years. Friendly staff and I can't wait to stop in when the weather warms to enjoy the porch.

Strasburg, VA. Shell/New Star Market. Dec, 2025. We were traveling between Warrenton, VA and…read moreThomas, WV, having just exited I-81 near Strasburg. We wanted to fill up on gas before "going over the mountain". GPS led us to the New Star Market/Shell Gas Station, which was only about a mile off I-81 and directly on our route. The self-service gas area was a bit congested, but we squeezed behind a parked pickup to get to a pump. Gas prices were excellent at $2,75/gallon. I went to check out the small convenience store. They seemed to have pretty much everything that a traveler might want or need, including snacks, a deli, and more. Many other reviewers have mentioned BBQ, and an outdoor sign, advertised this as well. Somehow, my husband and I both missed this -- probably because it wasn't lunch time for us yet! We'll have to check it out again upon our return. The cashier was friendly and polite. Restrooms were outside and clean. .

The flat white was superb! I was also very impressed that there was a sign on the door about watching your language. It's nice to see traditional values being upheld in the service industry still! Will return when in the area again.

There are tons of outlets for charging devices, and it's pretty chill to read or get some work done. Wish they had more savory food options. But the barista served the coffee fast and hot.

While waiting for my cortado I noticed they used Cordial Coffee Shop beans. I enjoyed the cortado so much that I wrote the roasters information down with the hope of visiting the shop one day. Well...I finally made it to Cordial Coffee Shop and it was well worth the wait. The barista made an exceptional cortado and the shop was in a beautiful old building. Great location + Great shop + Great baristas = A Perfect Cortado Enjoying life one cortado at a time!

TL;DR: Inconsistent…read more Food (1/5): I can make better waffles at home. They are dry, overcooked, and thin. They are also not a full waffle. The kids making them don't use enough batter and then cook them until they are hard enough to bounce off a wall. I do not recommend the waffles. Coffee (4/5): The coffee is usually good, but they get the orders wrong often. I've gotten to the point where I just accept whatever they give me. One time I asked them to remake a drink, and they still made it incorrectly. I gave up and drank it anyway. Ambiance (4/5): Parking is limited, but that's expected since it's in downtown Berryville. The space inside is small but has a cozy feel. There are maybe four tables total, so seating can be hard to find.
