JBird Supply Coffee Roaster — Restaurant in Charlottesville

TL;DR: high quality delicious coffee, great vibe, fantastic service.

I’m surprised I didn’t find this place sooner. It’s in the cut so you have to look for it, but man is it worth it. I got a latte with almond milk, and it was incredibly smooth and creamy. The taste of the espresso really shined through and was complemented by the other flavors. They even have a unique, house made flavor — hickory. It’s an unexpected sweet, smokiness that adds to the complexity of the latte, so I’d recommend giving it a try!

The staff is incredibly friendly and chill, and the vibe is perfect for a coffee shop. Dimly lit, wood accents, and happens to be in the same area as a co-working space.

Overall, I highly recommend and was pleasantly surprised by this...

I was perplexed at first at how incognito the shop is. No outside signs (except on the door) and almost thought it was only a supply-side roaster. It’s pretty bare bones inside, but interesting how it’s connected to other small businesses. As to the drink I ordered. I will admit that initially I didn’t like my chai oatmilk latte as to compared that same drink at other coffee shops . However, it grew on me. I can’t say exactly what the difference was — maybe the espresso? Or maybe less sweetener? I had the sense that this was more authentic than the usual overly sweetened versions of chai latte. In the end, I’ll give this shop five stars, but do recommend more...

BLUF: I recommend this coffee maker.

I found this coffee supplier at a Farmer's Market in VA on route66. I tried two different coffees and both were wonderful so I bought a bag of each. The "Juniper" coffee is so smooth, its a nice everyday coffee. The "Campfire" is a stronger coffee good for staying awake when you need to work 12hrs or go on some early morning military mission. LoL Some of you will appreciate that coffee for that reason alone! I...
