Tiny little shop, nice outdoor sitting area. Very good espresso. The seasonal syrup was spicy ginger so I added it to my iced latte. Very good.

Tiny little spot with bar seating and one other table inside. Friendly owners and they are wise to get baked goods from ABC and tacos from Brazos. Several outdoor tables for warmer days. Wish they were open after 3pm and open on Sundays but that wish is purely selfish.

Probably the best coffee in Charlottesville. The espresso (both the individual shot and the Americano) are my favorite in the area. Not too bitter, not overly acidic, just a genuinely good flavor. The matcha is also really food, very creamy and just all around pleasant. I really appreciate how they use local artists' works as decoration (they're for sale!). There isn't much space inside, just a little coffee bar with a few seats, so don't necessarily plan on staying there but if you can, its really nice! Parking is out back.

Quaint and slightly tucked away coffee shop with counter seating and friendly service.

As a Seattle native in perpetual search of a decent coffee experience out east, I believe Atlas Coffee is the best you’ll find in Charlottesville. The friendly staff and atmosphere are the icing but the above average coffee is the cake. For perspective, compared to the average neighborhood coffee shop in Seattle, I’d rate it three or four stars. Compared to anyplace else in central Virginia, five stars, easy.

Best espresso drinks in town! They have homemade baked goods which are very nice. Very polite staff/owner, quick and excellent service. Very few places to sit so you may need to get your coffee and go - this is not a place to sit down and study for hours. There are some outdoor tables for when the weather is nice. There is more parking in the back if any of the 3 spaces in front are already taken. It's a little more expensive than other places but worth the money.

Great coffee and baked goods and a great atmosphere with indoor bar and outdoor seating. Emma is always a friendly face. I like that you don’t have to pay in advance here, you can sit, order from the bar, ask for a refill and pastry an hour later, and settle up on your way out.

Great coffee, friendly staff and amazing quiche. I'm traveling the US working on coffee shops and this was a great place to call home for the day!Local coffee shops are the best coffee shops.Internet speeds weren't the fastest at 3Mbps, but got the job done for small data files. If I lived here, this would definitely be a regular spot.

Fun shop. Everyone is smiling, staff and patrons. Good drinks and snacks. Just wish they could miniaturize that espresso machine, which takes up so much of the counter and dominates the space.

I'm no connoisseur but the coffee tasted pretty good to me. Plenty hot but not so hot that I have to wait an hour to drink it. They have a lovely little front patio with plenty of tables, some shade, a few plants to block wind/noise, and flowers.

A nice coffee house with a house blend of Columbia’s and Costa Rican coffee roasted to a high medium level. The coffee is fairly bold when hot delivering an aroma that is quite robust and ends with a reasonable bitterness. It gives the impression of a full city roast. However when the temperature comes down to the low hundred range it is quite aromatic and flavorful. Having a balanced nose and mouthfeel. The bitterness at high temperature is nearly gone and it is quite good. I like this shop and will visit again since it is very close to my home. The setting is nice, the space compact and it smells as a coffee house should smell. The pastry is very good and the staff is friendly and focused. This is a one coffee place having only their own house blend available. But that is no real problem since it is a blend that I favor.

Atlas, in my opinion, is the best coffee shop in a city full of high quality coffee! Their lattes, ice tea, and other drinks are made from scratch and they have a really good selection of baked good as well. I suggest the raspberry triangle or Nutella cookie.

Tiny little place. Just 6 or 7 seats inside at the bar. Lattes good, blueberry muffins good, breakfast sandwiches good but already made in a crock pot, service good and nice happy staff.

Great iced coffee. The spinich quiche with feta was delicious. Perfectly heated and crispy crust. Like a library with patrons all on their laptops. Very friendly owners. I'm cycling cross-country and have a rest day. I'm going to hang out here all day.

My wife and i walk here just about every Saturday morning. Dog friendly abs awesome coffee. Make sure to try the paleo bites, they're fantastic and they have the recipe freely available.

The staff was wonderful, and this place definitely gets an extra star for them, but I am sad to say the quality of the product was highly unimpressive. Though it was on the cheaper side, my iced coffee tasted, well, tasteless really. I had some cream added that I had then hoped might blend in and at least give me an alright coffee, but it was still a subpar drink following. As a last note, I will say that I had some sort of doughnut (can't remember now) but it was fantastic, so perhaps cheap pastries are what you should get here alternatively to coffee. TLDR: the coffee flavor could use some work, but good people and good pasteries.

What a great neighborhood spot! Excellent coffee and baked goods, super-friendly people, nice patio. Great place to bring the kids for a treat or the dogs for a little outing.

My favorite coffee shop in Charlottesville, not because it's the most spacious or best decorated (it's not), but because the coffee is amazing and the people are amazing. If you live near UVA or Fry's Spring, this is almost a community meeting spot; the place to run into friends and hear the local news. Everybody I've met here is amazing.

Small, but good service. Good coffee, and enjoyed the breakfast tacos. Parking is a little difficult in the back, but not a deal breaker. There is outdoor seating.
