Crema's Take
“Give & Take stands out as Charlottesville's most dedicated pour-over destination, where baristas treat each cup like a careful craft—they'll even ask your name and serve your espresso with a thoughtful sidecar of sparkling water. The airy new location gives you plenty of room to linger, and the owner's genuine passion for sourcing the highest-quality beans shines through in every thoughtfully made drink, from perfectly balanced cortados to creative offerings like rosemary lattes. Whether you're settling in for an extended work session or seeking that rare local coffee shop that truly takes its craft seriously, this is where Charlottesville's coffee lovers keep coming back.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program, matcha and tea options too. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings.
