Anyone who knows coffee and lives within a 50 mile radius of Trager Brothers in Afton (also a…read morelocation in Lovingston) has literally zero reason for not making this roaster and coffee shop a regular pilgrimage site. To paraphrase the Beatles, there's nothing I can say that can't be said, but man do I love, love, love this place. Excellent whole bean offerings, roasted to perfection by expert roasters. Delicious hot and iced coffee and espresso drinks that simply can't be replicated anywhere nearby--including, sadly, in my home town of Staunton (hey, Trager Brothers! There's a huge opportunity for expansion in the Queen City!). And top all that off with sublime, informed, and incredibly friendly front of house staff. Yeah, it's a little hard to find, but anything worth having is worth looking for. And in this age of googling and Apple mapping and whatnot, there's no excuse for not availing yourself to the BEST coffee in central Virginia. Y'all who might have read some of my other reviews will know: I usually have a minor nit to pick with even my five stars. Not so with the Brothers Trager, fam. Enter their shop and be greeted by the heavenly aroma of roasting coffee, the whir of a burr grinder, the quiet scream of a steaming wand, the genuine smile and friendly greeting of the barista. Now, you tell me: how could you possibly find a quibble worth the scribble?

Came out here on a whim b/c of the signage on the main road. My wife is a big coffee fan and I…read moremean... why would we not stop by? First off, it's a bit odd to find. If you're looking for a big ole store or facility that screams coffee shop, you're looking wrong. It's in in the far end of a building off to your right when you follow the signs. (seriously the signs are key here). When you enter the main building, you're hit with the awesome aroma of coffee... just head to the end and walk in the door. It's a cool shop that Is totally worth visiting. If anything, it's b/c of the high quality coffee they offer. There really isn't much to do here other than pickup great coffee but I guess I can't think of what else you'd really need. :) Cheers! Food Taste: great coffee! Overall Service: 5 Value of service to cost: 5 Facility: 4 Ambiance: Very small but quaint Repeat customer: yes Dog Friendly: no

Called at the last minute, of course! Asking for a strawberry cake, cheesecake or cream cheese…read moreanything... I actually talked to an amazing baker (sorry can't remember her name only something starting with an "L" and nicely unusual)! This wonderful woman went waaay above and beyond in trying several different approaches to get my request accomplished. Even offered to stay late and bake it herself, if she could find something strawberry-ey!!!! Unfortunately, no strawberry anything could be found. But with service like that??? I'm going to become a regular there from now on!!!! I see they have a very good rating - I can't wait to visit!!

Met a friend here, late morning on a Thursday. We got lattes, tasty. Kids played on the play set,…read moreperfect. Then kids got hungry and had ice cream for lunch which was delicious (its only spring break once right?...) all three got the orange flavor, mmm creamsicle. I'll definitely be back with my husband for another coffee and hopefully to try the "aussie sausage roll"--my scottish husband misses his sausage rolls! They had a good drive thru service going and we were the only walk up customers while we were there, but I'd definitely park and hang again at the nice play/sitting area, and maybe sometime i'll drive thru for a quick java too.

I was extremely disappointed and uncomfortable witnessing the way the owner treated a young female…read moreemployee. The owner was yelling, cursing, and aggressively berating her in front of others inside the ice cream building. At one point, they were pounding their fist on the table while calling the employee insulting and degrading names. No employee deserves to be spoken to or humiliated that way, especially in a workplace environment. It created a very hostile and upsetting atmosphere for both staff and customers. Professionalism and basic respect toward employees should be expected from any business owner. Because of what I witnessed, I would not feel comfortable supporting this business again.

AMAZING coffee- they only sell regular cups of coffee for ONLY $2, and they have several different…read moreroast options. fresh bags of coffee beans for only $14 (i bought one that was roasted the same day!) very high quality and honestly way under-priced.
