    Nothing special about this coffee house, coffee is good, it's hot and it's pricey. On a cold Sunday morning expect a long wait.

    Stopped by Java Ranch for a grab and go coffee and snack over the weekend. Coffee was good, could have been hotter. Sausage cheese biscuit was great, highlight the flaky biscuit. Very comfortable space, maintains the original architecture of the building on Main Street. Plenty of merch for those inclined. Nice place to visit for coffee and breakfast treat.

    We stopped in here after checking out a couple other coffee shops in the area. I got their honey Lavender Latte and it was great. I would recommend stoping in!

    Blueberry breech matcha
    Neha G.

    Great coffee place. We got to try the iced blueberry breech matcha which was from their March special menu and blueberry muffin. Upon request, they were able to heat it up. Both items were really good and were around $10-11. Mix of old and modern vibes, will definitely recommend this.

    Vanilla and Hazelnut Oat Latte with cold foam
    Nichelle R.

    I got a vanilla hazelnut oat milk latte and it was deliciousss! It was super enjoyable. The service was good too but the only thing I would say is I would've appreciated if my order got called out or something because I was sitting in the back and couldn't really see when my drink was out. The overall shop is pretty welcoming and has a cozy vibe to it. There is also plenty of sitting and makes a nice place to sit down and chat with family or friends.

    Good Coffee and good service. Passing through Fredericksburg on a Sunday morning and we were pleased to find Java ranch. Limited food items but that was not the reason for the stop.

    Cappuccino

    Drink was a little darker than I would expect, but smooth (opted for oat milk). Service was excellence. Ambience was as expected for a busy Saturday - felt like a mini merit coffee. Also tasted the cinnamon pecan scone and it was decent. Would not fight a crowd to eat here, but if on the way I would not mind stopping by - just didn't stand out for me.

    Right on Main Street
    Jamie C.

    Great little place right on Main Street for a quick breakfast bite. Fast, friendly service. There are a couple outdoor tables available or enjoy your breakfast in the cozy cafe. Highly recommend the French toast muffin!

    Saloon style!
    Alyssa Marie H.

    Fun Saloon style and walk up coffee bar inside. Fun flavors, I had the Banana one. It was interesting. Not in a bad way, but I might want to try something different next time. Friendly service!

    Raspberry Matcha !

    A beautiful coffee shop with lots of coffee choices and delicious pastries. I had a perfectly made hot latte and visited 3 times while I town. A definite must if you like coffee!

    Deja

    Matcha latte (oat milk) and cafe latte (oat milk)

    I come here many times when I visit Fredericksburg. Such a cute place to read a book, hangout with friends/family, and even work. Their coffee is delicious as well as their other none coffee drinks. They do have a small selection of smalls bites which is also taste. I would recommender the wrapped hotdog. The employees are quick and knowledgeable.

    Cozy spot, great coffee. The cashier was very helpful she took time to explain the specials.

    While in town for our anniversary, the wife and I decided to grab breakfast. Looking for a quaint,…read morenon chain restaurant, I I resorted to ChatGPT. ChatGPT raved about Sunset Grill, so we hopped in the car and zoomed down. Upon arriving, we walked into the cramped restaurant, and we were greeted by a nice hostess. She put our name on a list, and we had a brief 5-10 minute wait before we were seated. We were handed menus and left to peruse the menu. After a brief wait, we were greeted by our waiter and he took our drinks. In good time the waiter was back with drinks and he took our order. I ordered a bacon and cheese omelette. It came with potatoes and toast. The wife ordered the plate with eggs over easy, crispy bacon, and potatoes. The wife and I sat and had a nice visit. We should not have drank our drinks so fast, as they stayed empty the entire time we visited. Our waiter not once made eye contact so we could get a refill either. After an average wait time, our food came. Our waiter noticed the drinks and then refilled them. My omelette was undercooked and watery, the cheese was not melted, and the bacon was chewy. Furthermore, the toast was also very dry. I would have gotten butter to put on them, but the waiter never came back to check on us. The wife's eggs were cooked over hard, the bacon was rubbery, and very underwhelming. Our drinks went empty and we never got refills, again. We paid the bill and went shopping. I was glad to get out of there. I had high hopes for this place based on the reviews, but I think they missed the mark here. ChatGPT did me dirty on this one. I don't know if they just were having a bad day, or what the deal was, but this was a one and done for me. I cannot say I recommend this one. I was very disappointed.

Portions are big. Donuts are soft and sweet. The apple fritter looks like a flattened softball in a good way. I got maple and cake donuts with a large German kolache (don't judge me). The sausage was savory, cheesy, and the buttery breading was so soft you could tear it away with minimal effort. Perfect. Not over baked and not hard. Wife had a Ham croissant that was alright. I noticed no crumbs left behind. I'm betting this place is family owned. The employees were shuffling to fill orders and they kept the car line moving. They thanked us with smiles as we exited. Great breakfast experience! I'd happily come here again next time I'm in Fredericksburg.
