I had an excellent experience at The Crucible Coffee Roasters in Staunton. Everything -- from the…read moredrinks to the atmosphere -- felt thoughtful and dialed in. I ordered the El Diablo Latte, and it was phenomenal. The cayenne and ancho brought a gentle warmth, the cinnamon and vanilla rounded it out, and the chocolate and espresso tied it all together beautifully. Spiced, smooth, and perfectly balanced. I also had a V60 pour-over of their seasonal Costa Rican single origin, and it was incredibly clean and expressive. I genuinely tasted the pomegranate and hibiscus notes, with a subtle cocoa finish. Bright without being sharp -- just a really well-executed cup. The triple ginger scone was the perfect pairing with the latte -- tender inside, lightly crisp outside, and warmly spiced without overpowering. Service was friendly and knowledgeable, the space was welcoming, and the quality across the board was top-tier. My only suggestion? Stickers. I'd absolutely put one on my laptop. Highly recommend.

Reunion has been a breath of fresh air - really good espresso drinks, pastries, and breads. To be 100% honest, Crucible's coffee is better, but their pastry selection is minuscule and they can feel a bit stuffy. Reunion's pastries are good, though I wish they had more French-inspired things like pain au chocolat, croissants, or even soft cinnamon rolls, but I feel they excel more at the breads side of baking. I got a mini sourdough loaf once and it was excellent! Service is always friendly and happy, and the shop itself is cute, but there isn't much space inside. I'm all for tables outside, but there's not much real estate there either, especially on a busy morning. I think a small adjustment to flow could make it easily sit a couple cafe tables inside without it feeling so crowded. I just miss the days of being able to hang out and have good coffee and snacks while doing some work on a laptop. Seems like most businesses would rather have you out the door instead. I have high standards for bakeries and cafes, and Reunion meets most of them. They're now my favorite place to go in the mornings in Staunton... if they're open. I would go there much more often if I could actually eat my breakfast there instead of having to get back in my car or sit in the blistering summer heat.

But a customer inside kindly came out and said they were leaving, offering us their inside table. (There's also the beer garden outside in the back for seating, which looks like it would be nice and comfortable.) I got an everything bagel with hummus and tomato. My partner got everything bagel, scallion cream cheese, tomato ($0.85 for tomato) and lox ($6 for the lox). Although everything tasted good, we both noticed that the bagels were really, really dense, tough and chewy. Like uncomfortably tough and chewy. My partner left one half of their bagel uneaten and I didn't finish mine. It looked great and the hummus and cream cheese and other toppings were fine, but the bagel was really, really tough. I'd like to believe that it isn't because the bagels were stale, but the thought crossed my mind. The coffee I had (dark brew) was outstanding, served in a nice, large mug. Excellent! Service was efficient. I considered a four-star review because the coffee was outstanding, but the bagels were really disappointing. It's too bad. It looks like a cool place, but their main food item appears to be bagels. Maybe it was a one-off, but I spent over $26 for two bagels and one coffee, and I don't plan to come back to find out.

We shared the taquitos and an apple cinnamon scone. The scone...out of this world delicious! If I could complain about anything at all it would be not being greeted.

I love the little personal touches. All in all I'd go back if I found myself back in the area again.

If you're looking for great service and not some disaffected non-binary socialist with blue hair, a gender studies degree, and an attitude problem, this place is for you. Now, the less good: The only reason I'm not giving these good people a five star rating is because...well...ya gotta know how to make a latte. Cafe latte is espresso, steamed milk, and a layer of foam (microfoam if you want to get super geeky technical about it). And, like the blessed Trinity, all three must be present in one in order to be true. A latte is NOT hot milk and espresso. And that's what I got today. And don't get me wrong, it was some tasty hot milk and espresso, but without the lovely layer of foam at the top, it's just not right. So I'm sipping my not-latte-latte and truly enjoying it, but I have a mild case of the sads because I'm missing the luxurious foam that really does make a difference in the overall experience. If you don't believe me, try making latte art in hot milk. So, please: go to Micah's! Enjoy their awesome team's excellent customer service and appreciate the rarity of such an experience in these modern times. But don't be surprised if your latte is not quite according to Hoyle.
