I love coffee, very much so, and I'm all for trying new things. I'm not hard to please, but something just tastes "off" whenever I get drinks from here. Their fruit smoothies are delicious, but I've ordered a caramel macchiato from them about 3 times and each time I feel like I've gotten a different drink. I know that baristas each have their own style and ways of doing things. I'm ok with that. If it was slight differences here and there between coffees then I wouldn't mind or be offended in the slightest, but the prices are too high to keep getting drinks that leave you feeling disappointed. It's an okay atmosphere, though I always feel it's a bit too crowded (beyond cozy) and the crowd there seems to be the regulars. I think that there's been space for sitting maybe once or so that I've been there, but the chairs are mostly packed - so even if I wanted to relax and enjoy their ever changing coffee, I couldn't. Considering they are the only actual coffee shop in Barracks road, they may want to look into expanding their perimeters and seating a bit. I can suggest you try them. Maybe you'll like them, I just know that I've not been satisfied with...
Read moreTried Greenberry for the first time, will not be back, at least not to the Emmet St Charlottesville location. Service is TERRIBLE! Walked in, stood at the counter, both employees were at the other end of the counter restocking. Neither looked up or said anything to me (why exactly did they think I would be standing there if not to ask a question or place an order?) I had to walk over and ask for help with my order (seriously?!). I ordered a hot latte breve, if you are familiar with your coffees, breve dimply means made with half n half and not milk. They made the latte, I walked over to pick it up and saw the sign saying they were out of half n half 🤔. No one had said a word when I ordered my drink! I asked the employee what they had made my coffee with, she responded 2%...I was stunned and surprised...THEY SHOULD HAVE TOLD ME WHEN I ORDERED, esp. since she tried to explain what breve was to me (as if I didn't know already). Bottomline, my coffee is thin amd gross.
Terrible service, terrible employees. horrible experience. Go somewhere else, Grit Coffee at Shops at Stonefield is...
Read moreThe staff is friendly and the coffee is shop is relaxing. I started out having a good experience enjoying a Chai Tea while seated inside. The day was sunny and beautiful. My spouse and I decided to sit outside in the seating area and sip our Chai Tea. Unfortunately, there was a person sitting in the immediate area smoking. I am health conscious and I have respiratory problems. The smoke polluted the small seating area. We moved twice to get away from the smoke but was unsuccessful. At least two patrons complained to the smoker about the stench of the smoke. My husband went inside of the coffee shop to talk to the manager and inquired about their policy on smoking in the outdoor seating area. He was given a lame excuse and basically told that Barracks Road allows smoking. We will no longer patronize this coffee shop. Our health comes first and is critically...
