Located at the foot of the Blue Ridge, in the meticulously trimmed landscape of Old Trail's cookie-cutter condos and townhomes, Grit Coffee is the place to roll up on your way through town if you're looking for lightly roasted third-wave coffee or a quiet workspace with wifi.

Drinks

When a café offers at least three ways to prepare your brew, you know you're in a place that respects the almighty bean. Pour-over, steam-pressed, espresso, and cold brew are all before you. While they do offer Blackberry Lattes, don't be fooled by the frippery! Grit, as the name implies, knows how to present coffee that is fully flavored and roasted before releasing its precious oils (IFKYK). Now, if you prefer your espresso black as midnight on a moonless night, they can do that, too. Order according to your taste, and they will deliver!

Not in the mood for coffee? You can get a pot of tea or a glass of wine instead. For the kids, lemonade, juice, or smoothies!

Menu

A simple, well-made breakfast at a neighborhood coffee shop can be delightful. Grab a breakfast sandwich, quiche, or fresh berry parfait before heading out on your Nelson County adventure.

The afternoon/evening menu includes tasty sandwich favorites such as a BLT, grilled cheese, or Black Bean Wrap. Pastries from the small deli case at the counter are available throughout the day. Arrive early to get the freshest pick!
