Prices are great, people are always friendly, AND you can wander around the Battlefield Country Store while you wait. If I lived closer I would be in here a lot more often. Outside covered seating, swings out in the rocks, and picnic tables under the trees in the grass Plenty of parking too. If you're headed North you'll have to bust a u turn but you won't regret it!

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. My choice of coffee for the day was their shaken espresso - this is my go to at home and at Starbucks. Good news, Black Rifle made it better than the both of us! I really enjoyed the smooth flavor, I just might order it half sweet the next time.

One fine weekend found me in Fredericksburg, VA and upon a recommendation I swung by Curitiba…read more Right away it felt like a an eclectic and inviting cafe - filled with atmosphere and charm! My go to (which was also to go) was a cappucino with a single shot of espresso. The single shot sometimes throws people off as most US made cappuccinos are made with 2 shots (and baristas often scratch their heads at me wondering what to do with the extra shot!) The barista at Curitiba was friendly and accommodating - and made the perfect cappuccino - with just the right amount of diesel without the bitterness (that is symptomatic of a strong coffee). Would definitely recommend this place - and I'll be back!

Apparently you can rent the space in the back, totally worth it! So fun!

I will definitely come back. Also I love how this cafe is opened later than 3pm. More cafes should be open later especially as a nice little place to read your books in the evening. The music and people weren't too loud so reading was very chill. The prices are pretty decent. Definitely a hidden gem in Fredericksburg.

Excellent cafe overall, would give 4.5/5 if possible…read more Food is elevated beyond what is in the area, with options rivaling D.C. Bagels and pastries are of excellent quality with prices reflecting this. Anita's is a consistent treat for me; I love the European influences and dog-friendly atmosphere. Service is solid, though, the name-yelling system falls apart a bit when it's a common name on a busy day. As for coffee -- it's good, not life-changing, though, I've never had a drink I did not like; it is simply a bit above average compared to what's in the area. Absolute gem in Fredericksburg with a beautiful brief walk to the riverwalk.

My wife and I were running errands on the Martin Luther King Jr holiday, and we decided to take a…read morebreak and have some lunch. As usual, my wife started looking for a place we haven't been before. Having been in Fredericksburg now for almost 2 1/2 years, the list of such places is getting shorter. We were out Route 3 west of 95, and she found a place called Affogato Europa Cafe. It's a family-run cafe and bakery featuring pastries, sandwiches, coffees, and lots of other sweets. It was a very clean, friendly looking place. We looked at the menu and my wife decided to have a Beef and Onion Burek, which is a traditional Balkan flaky pastry filled with, in this case, beef and onions. It was fantastic. Very flavorful and the pastry melted in your mouth. I'm a sucker for anything with the word "breakfast" in it. I had the Balkan Breakfast Panini. This marvelous sandwich contains egg, chorizo, cheese spread, provolone, tomato, and arugula. It was outstanding and the chorizo was very tasty (though a bit hard to bite through). I know I love a sandwich when after I put the last bite in my mouth, I feel a little sad because it is all done. Such was the case here. My wife had a Cortado espresso, which she loved but was a bit strong for me. I had a London Fog, which seemed like a latte with a hint of Earl Gray tea. I loved it, and when my wife tasted it she pronounced it "nummy". She doesn't use that word a lot so when she does I know she loves it. After lunch we split a Lava Cake, which is a small but decadent chocolate cupcake. The dining room was small but comfortable. The servers we encountered at the counter were very friendly. Rest room was very clean. It's not really close to us, but when were shopping out on Route 3, we'll certainly try them again.

Take your "tyme" and relax at this sweet tearoom! It's cute, but not as prim as some other tearoom…read moreI've been to. There are plastic covers on the chairs, which is practical yes, but takes away from the formality of a tearoom. A couple of the tables were wobbly, and I think they could use one or two smaller tables for twosomes and threesomes. The paper napkins were wrapped the utensils with a cute ribbon which was a nice touch for paper napkins. The main drawback: There was literally a little waste receptacle ON the table! Definitely not appropriate. There's a sort of creepy yet quirky robot that greets you at the front door. It evidently speaks different languages. She's cute though! Her name is Rose. The Victorian afternoon tea was nice, you know okay. I had the cucumber sandwiches (and added chicken salad sandwich for an upcharge) and the tea for $16.95 came with a mini cupcake, a mini scone and a mini cookie. The cuke sandwich was lightly toasted and fresh, the chix salad was on wheat and too mayonnaise-y for my taste. The sweets were delicious. You can choose your sandwich from several options, and your flavor of scone. Today the had raspberry white chocolate, orange cranberry, and blueberry. The Earl Grey cream tea was hot and fresh. Nicely steeped! The teapot and the tea accoutrements were all pretty! The server, Jamie, was sweet and helpful. The shop was also filled to the brim with gifts: jewelry, tea things, figurines, ornaments, candles, soaps and other knickknacks. While I was there the tearoom filled up quickly! Families and guys enjoyed their tea times. However, the ladies behind me were quite loud and rude playing videos loudly of their kids doing "cute" things. So gauche! So uncouth! Not tearoom manners at all! I wanted to take their phones! Ugh! Several customers walked in and ordered from the counter with a large selection of smoothies, boba tea, bubble tea, chai teas, milk teas, coffees, and milkshaplus a huge selection of regular teas: black, herbal, green and white teas. I'd come back, but don't expect the typical English tea experience. It's a bit more low key and casual. Unless you have a large party, you can just walk in without a reservation. I did come back! It was nice that on a Friday, they were open late and we were able to grab a bite! Service was slow on this day because I think only one person was minding the store! I chose the Buckingham Palace tea this time!!

I started at the kiosk but I couldn't request to have an ingredient removed so I went to the cashiers. Drinks are easily modified (at least with what I ordered). We ordered a s'mores tea 25% no graham cracker and a matcha banana pudding 25% no wafer. I personally didn't try the s'mores but was told it was great. The matcha banana pudding was delicious and really surprised us. Once stirred it was the perfect sweetness at 25%. We will definitely stop by again when in the area.

It really beats driving further north in order to experience the best well Ku Tea fits that category. It's located in a strip mall with other businesses. They offer a wide range of variety of unique beverages such as fruit tea, milk tea, slushy, smoothies, bingsu, yogurt tea, coffees, some bakery items, and you can also chose to create your own. I try their lychee pineapple slushy and strawberry bingsu. They were both delicious and refreshing. The service I received was excellent, all staff members were friendly and knowledgeable. The cafe was spacious with seatings, some decors on the wall, playful claw machines and what appears to look like an olive tree in the middle of the floor. The atmosphere was comfortable, relaxed and vibrant. I will make another visit to try more items on their menu.
