This has been our go-to for a little energy boost as we are passing on the I-95. It is located…read moreacross from the Waffle House on Warrenton Rd and next to the Sleep Inn Hotel on Iras Ln. It's a nice little stand alone coffee shop with indoor and outdoor seating, as well as a drive-thru. Immediately upon pulling into their well maintained parking lot, the exterior drew us in with a modern aesthetic and clean textured appearance. The inside continues the same appeal with their various seating arrangements and displays. We love, support, and appreciate their mission (evidenced by their merch & decor), which is to serve coffee and culture to those who love America. The service has always been phenomenal--friendly, helpful, and accommodating. We've come at less busy times so we haven't had to wait in line or wait long for our order to be fulfilled. They offer 5 signature beverages, aptly called "Hero Beverages, which consist: Liberty Bell (caramel & vanilla), Betsy Ross (wild blackberry & white mocha), Jet Fuel (spiced brown sugar & energy boost), 1776 (sea salt toffee caramel & mocha), and Smokey Joe (hickory smoke). These are available iced or hot. My go-to is the Liberty Bell. They also offer some tasty treats, sweet and savory. We've enjoyed their blueberry muffin and their sausage & egg on a waffle. I find that some of their food items have usually run out or have changed since our last visit. Granted, we usually get here mid-morning or later in the afternoon. There are 2 individual restrooms available, which are usually clean and well maintained. Overall, we enjoy stopping by this place for our little pick-me-up as we're passing through on our long trips. We also appreciate that we can support a business that are committed to upholding our military personnel, law enforcement, and first responders.

There's a lot of space inside along with a small "storefront" where you can buy merch and bags of coffee. I tried their spicy breakfast biscuit and really enjoyed it - perfect balance of flavor.

I really enjoyed the smooth flavor, I just might order it half sweet the next time.

We went to the store before hitting the bookstore an a couple of sustainable stores nearby. Their latte menu is huge and they can make a lot of different combinations of lattes. They also have cafe affogato which I wanted to try but chickened out since it was early in the day for that much sugar. I got the pistachio white chocolate mocha latte and since it was their birthday, they had free whipped topping and sprinkled with all drinks. I got the whipped topping on my iced coffee and it was amazing! I could taste the nutty flavor of pistachio and also the white chocolate. They didn't fill up the cup with ice and give very little drink which I also appreciated. They also had pastries and some food items but the food menu is relatively small. I'll come back for coffee when I'm in the area for sure.

My wife and I were running errands on the Martin Luther King Jr holiday, and we decided to take a…read morebreak and have some lunch. As usual, my wife started looking for a place we haven't been before. Having been in Fredericksburg now for almost 2 1/2 years, the list of such places is getting shorter. We were out Route 3 west of 95, and she found a place called Affogato Europa Cafe. It's a family-run cafe and bakery featuring pastries, sandwiches, coffees, and lots of other sweets. It was a very clean, friendly looking place. We looked at the menu and my wife decided to have a Beef and Onion Burek, which is a traditional Balkan flaky pastry filled with, in this case, beef and onions. It was fantastic. Very flavorful and the pastry melted in your mouth. I'm a sucker for anything with the word "breakfast" in it. I had the Balkan Breakfast Panini. This marvelous sandwich contains egg, chorizo, cheese spread, provolone, tomato, and arugula. It was outstanding and the chorizo was very tasty (though a bit hard to bite through). I know I love a sandwich when after I put the last bite in my mouth, I feel a little sad because it is all done. Such was the case here. My wife had a Cortado espresso, which she loved but was a bit strong for me. I had a London Fog, which seemed like a latte with a hint of Earl Gray tea. I loved it, and when my wife tasted it she pronounced it "nummy". She doesn't use that word a lot so when she does I know she loves it. After lunch we split a Lava Cake, which is a small but decadent chocolate cupcake. The dining room was small but comfortable. The servers we encountered at the counter were very friendly. Rest room was very clean. It's not really close to us, but when were shopping out on Route 3, we'll certainly try them again.

My wife drinks Starbucks coffee every day. She always orders her latte's with the "No Room" option…read more This store consistently either ignores what the customer asks for or cannot read I am not sure which one. She is always having them redo her coffee because they do not read what the customer asks for and they are always getting it wrong. Yesterday I went to pick up her coffee at the drive through. After ordering it with the No Room option and getting it at the drive-through window, I started to drive off and realized I need to check it and of course, there was at least an inch missing. I parked my truck and went inside. I asked the cashier to look at the label where I pointed out the No Room. I then asked him to look inside. He opened the lid and said "so". It is obvious, these guys have zero training. I actually had to ask to have it filled to the top because they have no idea what No Room really means. So I walked over to the side of the counter to pick up my coffee and watched the barista add more milk, remove the foam and then he sat it down and went off to work on other things. After it sat for about a minute, I said "Is someone going to give me my coffee" they replied, we are really busy. Someone finally put the lid on the coffee that had sat open in front of the barista machine for a minute or so and handed it to me. Now why couldn't the barista do that right after he removed the foam. The answer is simple, he wanted me to wait. He was punishing me for his mistake. If he would have read the label in the first place, all this would have never happened. So I am asking all my coffee lovers out there to boycott this store as they clearly have issues and have no problem disrespecting their customers. I have to believe I am not alone. I am sure they are treating others the same way. So please boycott this store.

We stopped in for their Mother's Day brunch thinking it would be a great way to sample a variety of items, but unfortunately the experience didn't match the price or expectations. The positives first, service was good overall, the staff and our server was friendly enough. The beer selection was easily the highlight of the visit. Even as casual beer drinkers, we could appreciate the variety they offered, and the flights are a great option for anyone wanting to explore different styles. The food and buffet itself, however, was disappointing. The eggs were mass-produced and had an odd flavor, the roast was dry and fatty, the sausage had an odd texture, and the mac and cheese was soggy. Most of the other items were just average, and nothing really stood out. Unfortunately most of the family wasn't a fan wasn't able to finish or eat, with most of kids left hungry, which was frustrating considering what we paid per person. That alone made the experience feel underwhelming. We may give the regular menu a try someday, but based on the buffet quality, our expectations are definitely lower now. Overall, we'd come back for the beer and atmosphere, but we'll likely pass on the food moving forward.

Despite attempts to use salsa, cholula, anything, the queso was disgustingly overpowering, being the equivalent of blended cottage cheese on top of a blisteringly hot skillet, which is a hazard, because they seal the skillets off in plastic containers before serving, which is crazy hot when trying to carry to a table. $15 for each of these disgusting skillets, which we could not even finish half of. When I offered feedback, the worker was rude and stated "well, we've been doing it for 4 years this way and you're the first person to say anything", as if that makes a difference - today, it was not the move (it's an American skillet with nothing Mexican about it, just use cheddar or something, it's not even Tex-Mex). The coffee is OK, nothing special, only the wait times are extraordinarily long for what makes Starbucks look like a 5 star-enterprise. Ambiance is charming; definitely stayed for the Jesus Christ-themed coffee, which is definitely a choice to say the least...
