Central Coffee Roasters

Central Coffee Roasters is a bean shop on Lee Highway in Sperryville, in the Blue Ridge foothills. Maggie and Jesse have run it for more than ten years. There's no seating. Come in, chat about roast profiles, taste a free sample and leave with beans, whole or ground to order. The beans are responsibly sourced, and they can tell you where each lot came from.

Start with the Campfire blend, which leans dark, or ask them for something lighter. Grab a cookie for the road. They ship, and plenty of customers who first stopped on the way to Shenandoah order by mail.
