Primarily serve pour-over coffee and traditional espresso-based coffee drinks. From the moment coffee beans are ground, they begin to chemically break down. The longer ground coffee sits before it is brewed, the greater it degrades the flavor of the coffee. The pour-over method requires the barista to grind and brew each cup independently. This allows for a less than 60-second turn around time from grind to brew start, resulting in a very fresh, flavorful coffee not found in other coffee shops in the area. The espresso consists of an expert blend of beans, which we then grind and immediately extract.

Whitney State Forest is a great place for a short hike/walk or to prepare for more strenuous hikes in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Conveniently located 2 miles outside of Warrenton, it is home to many deer and the occasional fox--seen once in a blue moon--but they are there. Users may even catch a glimpse of the scarlet coats and milling hounds of fox hunters on the neighboring North Wales estate during the season. Though close to Warrenton, trail users will see plenty of nature. This 148 Acre State Forest contains a variety of native trees, including tulip poplars, oaks, hickories, maples and Virginia pines. Many sub-canopy trees bring bright color to the woods.
