I regularly stop in for tea (yeah, I know it's a coffee shop, but tea shops are unicorns) and have found that over the last few months, the odds of me getting what I've ordered getting slimmer and slimmer. The most common cause is they're out of tea. While they seem to be able to handle coffee orders just fine, I'm going to have to find somewhere else. I'm extremely disappointed as I love supporting local businesses and I feel their chai latte and baked good are the best in town but getting an order I didn't want and don't like just because I paid isn't a good reason to keep going back. read more

I went to Column 15's grand opening of their new location. The inside has a down to earth feel and the staff is always friendly. My Snickerdoodle nitro cream wasn't as good as their drinks usually are but I'll give them a pass since it was a busy day. If you want to try out of the ordinary coffee this place is for you. My favorite part is the huge iceball sphere put into the coffee to keep it cold and not watered down. read more

Hands down one of my favorite coffee shops. They excel at their variety of flavors and combinations. Flights are excellent. Nitro is chefs kiss. Chairs are not the most comfortable for long visits while working. read more

Coffee was decent. Not the best I've had but also not the worst. For there only being 1 person ahead of us, we had a to wait a decent bit for our lattes to be made. Wouldn't go out of my way to stop here. read more

One of the best coffee drinks I've ever had. The Cinnabon Nitro cremé cold brew is AMAZING. The owners really know their stuff about coffee. They take everything down to a scientific approach and understanding! Also a super hip and comfy atmosphere. Would recommend 10/10z read more

This place was wonderful. Just stopped in for a quick coffee and was surprised at just how cute the atmosphere was. Coffee was also delicious. read more

I'm love love love a good and comfortable coffee shop with free WiFi. They have a regular coffee flight as well as seasonal ones. Not only that you can request the coffee flight in decaf! Which is great because some people can't drink caffeine. The WiFi worked perfectly and it was pretty full the day I went. The staff was great and so was the customer service. The staff made sure they quickly cleaned up after customers left. The food was also good. I had a panini with chips and a large decaf caramel latte. read more

I had the super yummy nitro tea with a little bit of milk and lavender syrup!! Sooooo good! I am a big fan of their nitro coffee it is super smooth and not bitter. So happy I found this store. Thought I could only get it at the markets! Also the staff are super friendly. Felt like a regular even thought it was my first time at the shop! read more

Great service and atmosphere. The coffee was delicious and it was a great place to setup and work that isn't a chain. Will definitely return. read more

I can't recommend this coffee shop enough. As a barista I am always hard on my coffee shop reviews. This place is fantastic. I live about an hour away but I try to find my way to Williamsburg quite often. The gps directions are a tad wonky but are very accurate. Trust them. As for the coffee selections, they are amazing and run the gambit of serious coffee to silly specialty drinks. I'm more of a serious coffee drinker, but ordered a silly drink because it was my birthday. It was amazing! So glad to have a dependable spot in the Burg!!! read more

Column 15 is our go to for the best coffee, service and hospitality they show to their customers. Our experiences have all been very positive and highly recommend any coffee lover to come enjoy their coffee ambiance and hospitality. Rae is one of our favorites she always greets every customer with a smile and extremely focused on their product quality. She is truly a ray of sunshine for our daily coffee experience read more

Cappuccinos were only average and there were no fresh baked goods when we showed up at 9 on a Sunday morning. The suffocated-in-cling-firm cinnamon swirl muffin was inedible. It's a cute spot with vintage sofas an unexpectedly fun vibe, given the strip mall location, but both food and coffee disappointed. read more

My husband and I were visiting from out of town and decided to get drinks for the drive home, and I am SO HAPPY we picked this place. I got the Nitro Tea with almond milk, lavender, and rose syrup. I'm a sucker for anything floral tasting, and this was my dream drink!! It was delicious and refreshing. My husband got a hot coffee (Ethiopian dark) with salted caramel syrup and he loved it! The staff were incredibly hospitable and knowledgable, and I can't wait to visit again the next time I'm in town! read more

Awesome place to chill out and read a book. I regularly go there with friends to work on school, we love the atmosphere. Decorations are so cute! Coffee, panini boards, and sweets are all delicious. read more

Came here because me and my hubby are huge coffee lovers and to be honest it was not good. I ordered the valentine cold brew and it was water down and it tasted like iced coffee with pumps of chocolate and raspberry syrup and I paid 6.00 dollars for it. My husband got the snickerdoodle. It's just awful. Very disappointed the reviews are really misguiding. read more

Was in town 8/23 as a tourist for one day and needed real coffee (vs coffee at the hotel breakfast bar) Tried Column 15 brewed house coffee, an African variety. Was very happy with the rich flavors, very smooth and satisfying. Good service also. Look forward to coming back and trying a different brew. read more

This place is the perfect option of a local coffee shop when you don't want Starbucks. It's eclectic decor is just as great as the coffee tastes. I would definitely go back. read more

Very cool coffee shop. They also have bakery goods including gluten free. And they have plant based milk for those who care. Love the whole vibe. read more

I always stop at the Column 15 stand at the South of the James market on my way out as their coffee is the best at the market. To add to that, their staff is incredibly friendly. They let you try free samples and they also have bags of their coffee for sale. Their coffee is head and shoulders above many other brands I have tried. If you are a fan of a cold nitro brew, do yourself a favor and try out theirs as it is really good. I have tried most of their varieties and they are all excellent. I look forward every week to stopping by their stand. read more

My bf and I both LOVED our drinks! The service was excellent too! Our barista was extremely helpful with recommendations and she did not disappoint us at all! Unfortunately, we're not from this area but when we do visit again, we are definitely coming back!!! read more

Column 15 - Left: Nitro tea with lavender, rose, and vanilla bean syrup Right: Dirty matcha latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Williamsburg, Virginia

one of my favorite coffee shops in Williamsburg. i always go here to study if i want a fun cute place that isn't home.

Epic much? We found our new always coffee that the entire house loves...(this was more difficult then you'd think). This is the coffee you serve to people who "don't like coffee", and the cold brew is to die for. Hello, summer alertness on ice! Having regular reflux issues with most coffees, I was thrilled to find out this coffee gave me no issues, whatsoever. To be this flavorful and rich but also smooth and with a touch of it's own sweetness... It's our regular coffee, forevermore. Plus, I don't drink black coffee, because I'm not a psycho, but I'll drink the cold brew just the way it is. Find this coffee right now and taste what real science, fair trade, and dedication to perfection tastes like. You're welcome, in advance, for turning you onto your perfect cup/glass of java. Peace and coffee, dudes read more

Try an iced butterbeer latte, you'll feel like you're in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Make sure you get a punch card because you will be coming back again and again for their amazing offerings. read more

This coffee was absolutely delicious! We found a stand at the RVA farmers market and were pleasantly surprised with how good it was! The coffee uses pre frozen coffee ice cubes so that the coffee never becomes watered down! The staff was extremely nice and so sweet-- I would highly recommend! read more

My cappuccino was good because it had a smooth finish. My wife did not like her coffee because is was over-roasted despite beeping medium roast. Also, there was a crimp in the coffee rim which caused coffee to spill on her blouse. read more

Awesome coffee, awesome service. The ice cubes are coffee balls! The staff clearly takes pride in creating and serving coffee. Would 100% prioritize stopping here. read more

The staff was super friendly, and very helpful for giving us tips on what to explore since we were visiting! I got a nitro coffee and it was really refreshing! My husband got a pour over, and that's where I had to give a 4/5 stars. There was no method to the pour over which left the coffee really watery, no scale was used, the coffee was ground way to fine for the V60 they were using, and the steeping time was WAY too long. We did buy a bag of roasted whole coffee for home and we did pour over at home and it turned out great!!! read more

This is actually the best coffee shop you will ever be blessed to step foot into. Their coffee is so unique and delicious, they offer coffee flights, italian soda flights, literally whatever your heart desires. Their shop is so cozy and beautiful, and literally every single person that works there are so kind and genuine. Their customer service is the BEST, literally one of the barista's, Grace, even took the time to sit with me and help me with my homework while I was struggling to study. Shoutout to Erin, Cara, Ally, and Victoria for making me feel comfortable and make the best coffee of all time while I suffer through my homework. All of the baristas are literally the sweetest angels you will ever have the pleasure of meeting in your life. read more

I ordered an iced caramel latte with oatmilk. The ice was a big sphere of cold brew - love when shops do that! Giving five stars because they use Planet Oat as oatmilk and I'm not the biggest fan of that brand. Espresso tasted good (not under extracted or over extracted) and sweetness level was perfect. read more

The nitro cold brew is so delish! You can get any coffee here and it'll be really good. Good service and great for working too.

this place has the best nitro i've ever had so far! theres so many options to choose from and create- i recommend the butter beer nitro cream! if you dont like sweet drinks though make sure to let them know how sweet you want your drink to be! some of the drinks can be suuuper sweet... read more

They want the customer to be happy with their drinks and don't mind answering lots of questions and putting together the perfect blend to make you happy! read more

Nitro is delicious and their local roasted beans are amazing! I think the Guatemalan Medium is my favorite roast for hot brews and the Columbian Dark is my go to roast for cold brews. read more

so happy I stumbled upon this place! They are a roaster AND cold brewer, so they've completely optimized the nitro cold brew process. Seriously, I was blown away, some of the best nitro I've ever had. You can tell they are experts in their field bc their cascade comes out beige (I was rather impressed) instead of the usual darker color that results from too little nitrogen (most coffee shops have this issue, but not column 15!!) I always drink my coffee black, but my friend usually needs cream and sugar, but theyve perfected their nitro to a point that it's so minimally bitter/sour that we didn't need any additions. They are also science themed, so as a lifelong nerd (as you can tell) I am a huge fan !! Most coffee shops seem repetitive nowadays so I'm thankful for column 15 for changing up the pace and doing something different. read more

Great place for coffee. They let you try a lot of different things in a flight which is a fantastic idea. You can get soda in a flight you can get hot chocolate and coffee. Great place to meet up with friends it can get really busy and look like it will take forever to get your order but somehow they're pretty fast. Definitely recommend checking them out. read more

We stopped here on a whim assuming that an independent coffee shop would be worth a slight detour and that was the right call. The coffee was great and we were offered several options to sample before making our purchase. The nitro coffee was smooth and stayed cold with a frozen coffee ice ball. We would definitely come back. read more

First time trying Column 15 and it was so good! Grace was super helpful and friendly :) They had really cool ice cubes made of coffee so that your drink doesn't get watered down. Definitely will be back! read more

By far the best coffeeshop in Williamsburg. Creative menu, incredible staff, immaculate vibes, and a great place to study, work, read, or catch up with a friend. Staff go out of their way to meet your coffee needs. Coming from Manhattan, I am a little bit of a coffee snob but they get it right. They truly get The science of coffee and do not disappoint. read more

By far the BEST coffee in town. Whenever we have out of town guests we take them here for coffee. It's a little out of our way but worth the detour. We also purchase their coffee beans so we can enjoy them at home. Our favorite is the Colombian coffee beans. read more
