Grit Coffee began its journey in 2008 near the University of Virginia with a simple vision: to create a space where exceptional coffee and a welcoming atmosphere come together to serve the local community. From that single shop, they’ve grown into the largest independent coffee shop operator in Virginia, fueled by an expansive roasting operation – yet their core values remain unchanged.

Grit provides spaces for work, rest, and connection—whether you’re a student seeking a study haven, a professional in need of a mid-day boost, or friends catching up over a freshly brewed cup of coffee.
