“ Charming coffee house, with properly old and ratty seating, above average food (which they brought out to where I was sitting) and better than average coffee. Met a friend here to chat, as it was midway between our distant homes. We both enjoyed our food. I was surprised that my smoked salmon bagel came with several slices of real, vine ripened, probably local tomato. The presentation was lovely and it was quite tasty. My friend got an iced latte, which had ice cubes made from coffee. There was a dementia-friendly sticker on the front. Some folks were working, some teens were hanging around talking quietly without buying much (they weren't shooed off, which I appreciate - teens need safe places to hang, and they were being respectful of others). Large age range in clientele. Definitely a keeper. When I'm out wandering around on my motorcycle, this will be on my list of good places to stop. Downtown Culpepper, btw, has perfect slots for parking a motorcycle next to the flower boxes in some of the parking spaces. ”
“ Very nice coffee house. The atmosphere is lovely and a bit dark. Beer we had was delicious and the chai tea latte I had was really tasty. They have milk options and gluten free options which I need. I want to come back a few more times to try other things! ”
“ What a neat little small town coffeeshop. I came here because of the great reviews on the coffee. They did not disappoint. I loved my iced purple bee it was on the less sweet side which is what I like. The service was great too. What really blew me away though was the sausage egg and cheese croissant. The croissant was the best I have ever had it was so flaky and perfectly textured. Definitely not store bought. It was so much egg and sausage. I had trouble finishing it because of how big it is and I am a big guy. Do yourself a favor and don’t just get a coffee! ”
“ Our new favorite place! We love checking out new coffee shops so stopped in here on our way to Shenandoah and were throughly impressed. The staff was extremely kind. The man helping us with our order was so patient, answered all our questions, and didn’t make us feel rushed at all (as we have found to be common in a lot of shops we’ve been to). The food was amazing with great quality ingredients and both our drinks were perfect! Not to mention the place is absolutely adorable and a pleasant place to hang out for a bit. Normally we like to check out new coffee shops, but we will be returning to this one whenever we are passing through; likely going to be taking some detours to make sure we get back here regularly. ”
“ Great coffee, and great vibes! They had plenty of options all at reasonable prices. The coffee was very good, and I was able to work in a nice environment. ”
“ A super cute Cafe. There's some street parking around and we didn't have any issues finding a spot at all on a Sunday morning. The staff is really nice and they have a bunch of flavors and sugar flavors. Their Pastries all looked delicious but we opted for the Cranberry Biscotti which we dipped in our lattes. They also have Gluten Free Pastries! Their menu also includes breakfast foods and some other sandwiches. Wine beer and cocktails too. It's really cute inside and the s'mores latte was delicious. Definitely recommend coming here. Not too many seats but really cozy. ”
“ Hidden little bird nest of a coffee shop in downtown Culpeper! The vibe is really unique, the service is friendly as well as fast, and the prices are very reasonable! The decor inside is super trendy with lots of plants and birds. There is a wide variety of flavors to put in your perfectly roasted local coffee and plenty of seating inside and out. Definitely recommend this spot to grab a quick drink including a beer, or to spend some time working remotely ”
“ Really cool breakfast and coffee spot with awesome decor, great food, and great drinks/smoothies! Big fan of their Harry Potter set up. Definitely recommend coming here if you’re in the area, they amazing breakfast (loved the avocado toast), amazing looking pastries, and fresh smoothies. ”
