This coffee shop is awesome! Stopped in on our way back from Charlottesville to NOVA. the atmosphere warm and inviting. I got an iced mocha and it was amazing! Be sure to use the coffee ice cubes. Also got a French toast bagel – so good! Staff was super friendly. And the prices I thought were very reasonable. We will definitely go back. Definitely worth stopping for in Ruckersville

This place is a great cozy spot to hang out at, get some computer work done and let the kids play! Oh, and the coffee and food is amazing. There is a play area for the kids and a couch, rocking chairs and t.v. to kick back and relax. I highly recommend, very friendly family that runs the coffee shop.

Awesome little coffee shop. Tables, play area and a seating area. David made the best mocha frappe and iced varamel coffee we’ve ever had.

Lovely local shop. Plenty of space and amazing Mocha’s. The owners are just such kind people. When my son told them he wants to work in a coffee shop some day they invited him to come in at closing one day and showed him how all the equipment works. They even let him make a Mocha for me and latte for himself. You may not see it from the road ( it is tucked into a corner of a small group of shops) but it is so worth the trip.

A Saturday morning allowed us to finally check out Bittersweet Java. When we arrived there was an event, Cars and Coffee, taking place out front. Great community engagement! The atmosphere inside was very inviting with multiple seating areas and a children’s play and reading area. It took some time to go over the menu but we placed our order. Sadly, they did not have cold brew available. This possibility was clearly displayed on the menu board. For our beverages we tried a mocha and cappuccino with caramel. We sampled the biscuit with bacon, egg, and cheese and a croissant with sausage, egg, and cheese. After asking what a croffle was and learning that it was a croissant cooked in a waffle iron and topped with strawberries and cream we added that to our order. There was a short wait for drinks and a slightly longer wait for food which was brought out as each item was prepared. Our croffle was served on a plate with metal silverware. Nice touch! But our sandwiches were served in Styrofoam to go boxes. Due to the fact that we were eating in, serving everything on a plate would have made it slightly nicer and created less waste. All our items were delicious and the temperature was correct. Drinks were hot, the mocha was not surprisingly sweet and the caramel cappuccino was perfect! The croffle was an interesting treat and exactly as advertised. The sandwiches were both hot and cheesy. Although the biscuit was cut on the smaller side. The service was wonderful, from the woman who waited on us to the gentleman who brought us our meals. Great place for families to take a little break or to meet a friend for a light snack. We will definitely return!

Absolutely amazing!
The crew here is super friendly and welcoming. We came early in the morning because school was out and I was thrilled to find a place as family friendly as this.
They made sure my son’s drink wasn’t too hot and they even have a play area for little kids. I enjoyed a glance through their book exchange shelf, I’ll have to be sure to bring one to exchange next time I come in.
I always review a place by their lattes and this one tasted amazing. The espresso was extracted perfectly. They even have a ton of flavors if you’re into that.
Fantastic place, I’ll definitely be back.

I can’t say enough about how wonderful our experience was here! The gentleman with the beard was so thorough and mindful of our food restrictions. The quality of the coffee was outstanding, emphasized with the customer service. Would 10/10 recommend this coffee shop! The politeness and attention to detail are unparalleled. This is absolutely my new favorite coffee shop!

One of the coolest coffee shops I have visited in a while! The coffee is amazing! From the house blend to the cappuccinos, they do a good job with the quality and the size is pretty generous! The environment is really cute, with tables and couches for you to sit and relax. The coffee holder is handwritten and they change the sayings in them every day! This place is a hidden gem!!

What an aborable coffee shop!! I love that it’s a family owned, complete with a Kid’s Zone, and lounge area! Definitely has “Central Perk” vibes and the coffee is delicious! I bought a bag of their beans and they grinded it for me on the spot. Very friendly, great atmosphere, and a must for anyone north of Charlottesville to go check out!
