Grit Coffee

Thoughtfully roasted coffee from our Charlottesville roastery—proudly serving Charlottesville, Richmond, and Williamsburg.

Our journey started with a vision, a little bit of grit — and a whole lot of coffee. Since opening our first coffee shop near the University of Virginia in 2008, we’ve grown to six locations in Central Virginia, including five in the Charlottesville area and one in Richmond. We have navigated plenty of twists and turns along the way, but are driven ahead knowing that our coffee provides fuel for o

thers blazing their own paths. As a roaster we search the world over to establish relationships with great farmers cultivating great coffees, and we roast them with craft and care — believing that only the best cup is good enough for the journey ahead.

Meet our General Manager, Sophie!☕️

Sophie joined our team as a barista six years ago, and after several leadership roles, stepped into the GM role six months ago. She keeps our shops running smoothly and our coffee culture strong — supporting the team behind the bar, and watching each location build its own community.

Her go-to drink is an iced coffee with vanilla, and her favorite coffee is our Night Shift — despite insisting for years she wasn't a dark roast person.🤣

Outside of Grit, you'll find Sophie volunteering at a horse rescue, enjoying live music, or heading downtown for dinner and ice cream. Say hey next time you see her around our shops!👋

Say hello to our sister shop: The Workshop ☕️🍷

Tucked inside The Wool Factory in Historic Woolen Mills, it’s a cozy little spot for coffee, wine, and quiet moments. Think Virginia wine, Season’s Yield pastries, and Grit coffee—served in a beautifully restored space.
