18 Grams Coffee Lab - Culpeper

Stopped in here for the first time last weekend and enjoyed a King's Cake latte during the Mardi Gras event downtown. The latte was exceptional and even though i got the order to go, the atmosphere inside seemed really chill. The service was great in the brief interaction that I had and I really like the bike shop that is attached and intended to check it out soon. Looking forward to coming back here.

Came here from Winchester. Was excited to visit a coffee shop/bike shop. I gave 2 stars rather than 1 for the cleanliness and visually appealing layout. Service left much to be desired, and I couldn?t help but get the feeling I was being judged, like I was going to steal something. Interactions were short, very little effort on their behalf was put into social exchange. Signage of laptop use suggests a much busier establishment in a much bigger city. Having come from 8+ years of managing well recognized bike shops as a lead tech, I can say customer service standards need a closer evaluation. I?m from Miami FL and recently lived in Denver CO?both big coffee cities and can?t say I?ve paid more than $7 for coffee. At $9 a cup this seems a bit superfluous for a small town. As a longtime cyclist and huge supporter of small businesses I was left disappointed, was not worth the 1hr drive. Perhaps I came on a bad day for the staff? Either way, unfortunate experience.

Beautiful coffee shop that doubles as a beautiful bike shop. If I lived closer, I?d go there often when biking. I had an oat milk cappuccino and it was excellent. The store has some cool bikes on display and apparel from ASOS for sale. Could not be more appropriate considering the overall high end feel of the store. Rapha clothing would fit in well too? maybe they should call Rapha North America?s HQ in Bentonville and get something worked out.

I loved it here! The avocado toast was delicious and so fresh. I got a mexican mocha with oat milk, it was equally amazing! You can tell that they really care about the quality of the food and drinks served. Staff is friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere was clean and inviting. I will definitely be returning, and I'm already excited to try something new!

Very interesting concept. Coffee shop inside a bike shop. Welcoming vibe, friendly cashier. The double espresso shot with latte art and the blueberry muffin were delectable. The muffin actually tasted really delicious. I like the presentation as well. It?s a hidden gem.
