The coffee here is decent - I wish the espresso flavor came through stronger, but it wasn’t bad. Paid $6 and some change for a signature latte with almond milk. The person at the register doesn’t wear a mask though and that makes me uncomfortable, didn’t wash his hands before making the drink either and he was eating before he made the drink. But if you don’t mind that, the iced lattes and latte flavors are pretty good.Atmosphere is quaint, not many tables or areas to eat, but a nice place to stop by for coffee if you’re getting some pastries at ABC bakery which is right next door.

Delicious coffee and great customer service. Try the French 75 if you like floral lattes.

Kota our batista was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and was at ease when recommending drinks. Coffee intuition was on point. Very personable, and the coffee was excellent! We got, The Stern Pilgrim and the milky way! Would recommend to anyone visiting Charlottesville! Mention sonichu for a *discount*!!!

Great coffee, but most importantly, the coffee maker is a great person which makes the whole experience of making the order and having a coffee in this place, VERY pleasant. Make sure you talk to Tayna :) pura vida!

Great coffee and bagels (plus greens/toppings), and a fun atmosphere with kind baristas. We enjoyed the cozy patio and the featured drink menu.

Love love love Rocket Coffee! Best espresso in the area. Friendly and attentive staff. You can tell they care about the quality of what they serve. My experiences here are always positive. Highly recommend stopping in for coffee, breakfast and/or lunch. The bagel breakfast sandwiches are out of this world!

Awesome bagels. Coffees not my favorite, but ok. Be aware that there’s no breakfast sandwiches with egg and meat there’s just a couple of options.

Very nice place! My boyfriend loves croissants but is usually disappointed when getting them... but was over the moon pleased with how good they were here. Coffee was also great, seemed like a perfect little small business. Guy working who I assume was the owner was extremely nice and helped give directions. Give it some business

Knowingly improperly made my drink and were not going to tell me. Also, 3 days grace and papa roach, kinda agressive music choices first thing in the morning but thats personal choice.

Just OK coffee and bagels. Nothing thrilling. Seems the price isnt really worth it. Hopefully the ambiance will be more charming as they acclimate to the new West Main locale. Good location, somewhat disappointing experience.

Review №22

Coffee is pretty good here. In a strange location an old gas station along the road. The only place to go on that area for coffee. I hear the pastries are delicious but Ive never had them myself. You are in the area I would quick drop by it is the only place around

This is certainly an up and coming place. The coffee - well above average. The atmosphere - they are going through a remodel right now, and it is going to be even better than before (hence the rating of 5 star instead of 4). The service - top notch! They have just contracted with Hanks BBQ from over in McGaheysville to sell some BBQ and I am very excited to get some lunch here!

Stopped in to get an iced coffee. Shop smelled a little funky (not like a coffee shop)...couldnt really get over it the whole time I was there getting some work done. Bathroom was clean but there was no hanger for a bag or purse to keep it off of the floor. Service was good, people were friendly, music was nice. Parking outside is a little weird.

Review №26

Such a cool little place! Great local vibes with a live music schedule. Great local blends iced or hot. Ive suggested adding cold brew to the menu options so hopefully it will make an appearance soon. They have freshly baked goods that range from decadent to healthy and are served in a relaxed, quiet atmosphere. Eco-conscience options for to-go orders such as paper straws makes one feel good about the choice to purchase coffee here. I recommend stopping in if you pass by (or even to make a special trip!).

Stopped by for a cup while traveling and the coffee was excellent. It was fresh with a nice flavor and I was in and out quickly. I hope they do well because its super convenient if I can grab an excellent cup of coffee here on my way out of Cville.
