Atlas Coffee

What a coffee connoisseurs heaven! This petite coffee shop and bakery is a local favorite and I'm happy to say, I felt all the love! Be sure to park in their designated lot behind them. You are instantly greeted as you walk in and smell the coffee and pastries aroma! They have Apple Pay and all the fixings for your coffee the way you like it. You can tell they all love to work for this local gem and it is rated in the coffee and pastries. They know almost everyone's name who walks in the door. How sweet!! I was able to snag their last bacon, egg and cheese biscuit which was so good! Forgot to get a pic of it since I ate it so fast. You are a lucky one if you're able to grab a seat at the coffee bar and catch up with the locals while enjoying some local coffee and treats!

Cozy vibes and great coffee! I also love their outdoor space for studying when it's nice outside

If you must...then you must, but only because you are an addict and a poor latte is better than no latte at all. This place has the funky vibe, but not the coffee mojo.

Edit: The owner seems to think that a lecture on what comprises a latte is a response to having made two of the worst lattes I've had in Charlottesville.

A bad latte is, you guessed it, a bad latte.

You know where you never get a bad latte in town? Mudhouse and Grit. If you're reading this, head to either of those spots for a better experience.

Might have been the specific barista, but the latte was very bad. My wife's latte was also awful. The proportions were off.

Went back in to try the espresso from a different barista. Not bad. Basic second-wave coffee fare. Much better than the first round of drinks.

I could see the appeal if you're nearby, but if you're looking for a solid espresso-based drink, there are better, more dialed-in spots.

An iced latte was $7 which was a bit pricey for what is was. The baked goods looked and smelled incredible. The staff were are all very friendly and chatty. The interior is very small - only a few spots to sit and do work at the bar. I's recommend going when the weather is nice and sitting outside on the patio.

Stopped in for a latte and wasn't disappointed. Lovely local coffee shop with a cozy interior & exterior. Not a lot of seating inside so keep that in mind but wasn't an issue for me as I was just passing through for a quick grab & go. Friendly staff, homemade goodies to buy (local treats).

it is so so so cute in this coffee shop,
all the baristas were so nice and they have such good options! i got a vanilla and lavender oatmilk latte and it was the best lavender latte ive had!

Wonderful bacon, egg and cheese biscuits. While the drinks are on the pricey side, milk substitutes are not an additional charge.

Great coffee and community. Under new ownership since like 2021 iirc. One of my favorite places in Cville since I moved here many years ago.

I'm a big fan. They're a tiny but might coffee shop. Excellent drinks, really good beans, and quality pastry. Staff is always friendly. There's a great patio too
