When I want a nice latte and a quiet place to study I always go to Shenandoah Joe off of Ivy. The people are always wonderful to me there and always strive to make my experience happy one, especially the manager Amy, Eva, and Charlie. I always suggest and bring in multiple friends for study groups here at least four times a week. I havent been able to do that recently because the AC hasnt been working for quite some time now. It is ridiculously hot in there. Its cooler outside than it is inside the shop and its the middle of the summer. I have tried to sit and deal with the scorching heat and I just cant do it anymore. Its not like this problem has only been one day or two. It has been like this for a little over a week now. This place is normally packed with people and besides myself today there was only one other person in the shop. So unfortunately I am going to have to find another place to study where they know how to keep the AC running on a hot summer day. Oh and its one thing for me to be hot and discontent, because I can leave. The employees that have to stay there for their shifts are covered in sweat, dehydrated and uncomfortable. I feel terrible. I have seriously considered buying them a fan.....someone needs to fix this!

The coffee is excellent, though not always as hot as I would like it; my friends have made similar statements. However, some of the staff often seem disinterested in the customers, and more interested in the conversations they are having with their colleagues. Best coffee in Cville though, and when you do get to speak with someone behind the counter, they are very knowledgeable. Updated 10/11/15 (Three stars to two stars) I am very displeased with the service at the coffee bar on Ivy. I always order a pretty simple drink...a 16oz Redeye, Dark Roast, no room for cream. It took 15 minutes to make my drink, while 5 people that came in after me had their drinks first (Lattes, Soy Lattes...not just straight up coffee). By the time I received my coffee, it was once again lukewarm (and bitter) as I noted in my previous review. Who wants to drink lukewarm coffee?! I have been very loyal to this brand, but I think I will be looking for a new coffee house.

Passed through Cville and stopped to see my friend Cooper, said man i could use some coffee, Coop says, man I know just the place. So I followed him over to Shenandoah Joe on Ivy Road. Before I left Cville we only had a handful of places making really and I mean realllllyyyyy great coffee. I live in LA now and we have a cosmic ton of coffee joints. I wish we had Shenandoah Joe, or atleast can find a guy ( or girl ) to make me a traditional every morning. Holy Jeebus, one of the tastiest cups ever !!! I think his name was Chris ,,,awesome cup man awesome. the place is warm and has a pleasing atmosphere. its spacious enough and they had many different coffee beans to choose from. took a pour over for the road and was sad when I reached the bottom of the cup. Will surely stop by again, great job guys love it

Just got two 16oz cups of Honduran. Absolutely the worst coffee Ive tasted since GPC or Sanka. This is not a matter of taste; I have had beans from Honduras sent to me from friends in that country. I believe it was brewed with using twice the amount of grounds required. I even added 4-6 oz of half n half to dull the extremely bitter and sour flavor not tyoucal of this type of bean, or any bean from any origin Ive had. For the very first time in my life I poured out the coffee instead of drinking it. I have had coffee from them before (french roast) and it was good. Unfortunately, I didnt taste it until I reached my destination and did not go back to tell them.

Shenandoah Joe is the best coffee in town, hands down. This is their coffee bar location, not their flagship roastery, so its a bit more small scale than the Preston Ave. location, but you can still get a great selection of coffees and the espresso is always awesome. Seating is at a bit of a premium, but thats not really any different from most other coffee joints. This is the place to go if youre looking for a real cup of coffee.

I think I need to say about my impression. I loved shenondoah Joe Ivy but I needed to wait for getting coffee while she (barista) have a chat with other people. She had conversation continously but other staffs seems to be hesitant to give a signal. I had the same experiences several times. Manager should know the fact your company lose customers while she is chatting.

The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable about coffee. Bewarned you should expect a wait for drinks, because they make each cup of coffee individually, but it is worth every secound. This is truely the best coffee of my life. Their preston location is particurally neat because you can often watch the owner roasting beans.

My favorite coffee shop in Charlottesville! I love their coffee and atmosphere. I like how their coffee isnt that sweet compared to other franchise brand. Mocha is relatively sweeter which was my favorite. A very nice place to go to when studying or meeting up with friends to chat.

What an amazing experience! Why cant all cafés be more like this one? Ive checked out the other locations which are pretty amazing but the hospitality and efficiency here has nailed above and beyond. Kudos to Amy, Shannon, and Jay. The Thrashers thoroughly enjoyed their time.

Great coffee, but if youre in a party of three or more, try another place. They do have seating, but all booths and tables are typically occupied by single students.

Excellent coffee. Be warned. You will wait on your coffee. All brews are cup at a time. Go with an Americano if you are in a hurry.
