We just moved to VA, but we’ve had the opportunity to order Americano at numerous other coffee shops. This was by far the worst Americano we have ever tasted. I took a sip and was unable to drink it. That’s how bad it was. Food was subpar, at best. Tasteless and just not good. When I mentioned that the Americano does not taste good, I’ve got an attitude from the girl who made it. We will never go to this place again.

First time here. What a great start to my morning! Just found out we have one at home in Richmond. My first stop in the morning. Great location on the mall, great customer service , AND the coffee is exceptional! Great breakfast and lunch options .

I always enjoy the breakfast burrito and espresso. Gets very busy on Sunday morning. Very friendly staff. Limited seating in front area, but large back room and also outdoor seating.

Delicious avocado toast for an incredibly reasonable price with generous portions! I didn’t get a chance to try the coffee but the food here is fantastic, along with warm and friendly service. I’ll definitely return!

One of the best iced mochas I’ve ever had!! Definitely a favorite spot for coffee in Charlottesville. I also got the omelette with goat cheese and bacon, which was phenomenal. Super filling (felt like 2 servings to me), but incredibly delicious. Would highly recommend.

Morning walk to downtown Pedestrian Mall in search of coffee from our hotel.Greeted by two women working, and I do mean working, not a second of rest, this place was busy! But they were so friendly!Small standing area to wait for order, ample seating in back room, several bar stools at counter area, and outside seating available.We waited 15+ minutes for our drinks. In the time from our entry into the shop from us leaving, approximately 20 minutes, the batista did not stop making drinks for a second.The second batista was equally busy taking orders and serving food.They were a well-oiled machine, working together.I ordered an iced Chai coffee with almond milk, hands down THE best Chai flavor I've had!It was worth the wait!Now, knowing how good the coffee was, I wished we had ordered food...next time!Parking: Located in a Pedestrian Mall. Park offsite and walk to location.

I used to come here a lot when this place was still Café Cubano. The menu has undergone a lot of changes since then. They still have the same coffee which is good enough and baked goods from the Albemarle bakery which are excellent.The sides are huge portions, and all the portions are pretty generous in general.The barristas are really nice and friendly.Something that really bothered me is finding not just a piece but pieces of eggshell in my side of scrambled eggs recently. It was so gross I couldn't enjoy the rest of my food and felt nauseous all morning :(

Food, coffee, and service are consistently good! Love the pastries and they are very accommodating if you bring your own cup. It tends to get busy around 10am for brunch, but before that time I've rarely had to wait.

Had top notch drip coffee with 3 different brews to try. Enjoyed their Costa Rican brew the best. Breakfast burrito with sausage was delicious and had a great salsa on top

Food was great! Service was amazing and friendly by one employee but not the other by any means. The sign on the door says they stay open until 5 p.m. but I went to grab something else to eat at 4:24 p.m. and the door was locked. I then went outside to see the unfriendly employee smoking a cigarette and had locked the door to Grit while she took a break...smh...get rid of the bad apple G.R.I.T. We love you

Ordered two oat milk lattes and two breakfast sandwiches for $30 (not a bad price but the $1.25 for oat milk was more than I'm used to even in cities like NYC, DC, and Chicago). The sandwiches were dry but were still okay. The coffee was okay as well but the customer service was disorganized (people who ordered similar things after us were served first and our to-go food was left sitting for about 10 minutes despite the store not being crowded and there being 4 people behind the counter).

I never been to this town in my life but I tasted this coffee beans. I ordered it from Whole Foods. And then I ordered it from their headquarters. I am a Coffee addict and I lived everywhere between Texas, California, Chicago, Maine, Pennsylvania, Kansas. And I tried so many coffee beans in my life. This is by far one of my top three in the United States. If I love someone who loves coffee I will gift him the Ethiopian roast from Grit Coffee.Sincerely,Ahmad A

This establishment has good coffee but there seems to be some issues with ording food. Staff seem unfamiliar with the menu. Once I received and entirely different item than what I ordered. They have also forgotten to bring out the side dish almost every time I've ordered.Additionally, the food is of differing quality. Sometimes it's very good, but I've have 2 times where I have had undercooked food. Once I had an egg burrito that contained portions raw eggs and I recently had a turkey and swiss melt with cold turkey and cheese.

The Grad - this is the best bowl of grits in town. Service is fantastic, my first time and they decide what was good and they made a perfect suggestion. Absolutely love this place!

Went here Sunday morning. Read good reviews and saw a long line so I assumed coffee was good. Ordered a spooky bear latte and a hot chocolate for my husband. The latte wasn’t hot, I know they were busy but I’d be patient for my latte to come as ordered. My husbands hot chocolate he said was really bad, didn’t taste much chocolate and when we took the lid off to look it was barely darker than just milk. I could tell they were short staffed and I feel bad leaving this review but staff were not even acknowledging that there were people in line, just seemed to ignore them until they caught up with the online orders.

The grit bowls are amazing! And the cappuccinos are made to perfections with lots of light smooth foam on top.

Very nice little coffee shop in the heart of historic down town. The only down side is no blended drinks.
