Crema's Take

This Crozet spot takes specialty coffee seriously with rotating single-origin selections like anaerobic naturals and knowledgeable staff who genuinely love what they're brewing, though you'll want to come hungry for conversation rather than bargains. The homemade syrups and thoughtful pour-overs shine when you connect with passionate baristas like Autumn, but the high prices and inconsistent service mean your experience here really depends on who's behind the counter and how forgiving you're feeling about the premium.

Overpriced and pretentious, $22 for two 12 oz drinks. Now each had an espresso shot added so that accounts for $4 but I still hit checkout thinking for that price I'd have an orgasmic experience. However as expected from the snotty staff, the drinks were watery and can tell the espresso machine is not regularly cleaned from the funny taste. $5 blueberry muffin was uninspiring.

The prices are extremely high ($8ish for a latte). The staff friendliness can be hit or miss. The bathrooms regularly need attention. The chairs and tables feel very outdated and in poor condition. The things I do appreciate about this coffee shop are the toy box for the kids, the Tiramisu is lovely, and the fact that they are open on Sundays.

I gave this place a try due to good reviews but ended up very disappointed. Across the board from coffee to food they are WAY overpriced compared to the quality. The only vegetarian sandwich ended up being a $15 slice of cheese on wonder bread it was pretty ridiculous. Unfortunately cannot recommend this spot. I left hungrier (and with a much lighter wallet) than when I came in.

Had a fantastic experience! Got a wonderful Anaerobic Natural as a pour over and was super impressed. Autumn was super knowledgeable and clearly very passionate about specialty coffee. She also explained that Mudhouse has a lot of opportunities for employees to grow in their craft and make long lasting careers in coffee which is super encouraging to hear! As a Marketing Director for a coffee shop, I can say that this is the type of experience that truly sets shops apart from the competition. My experience at the Downtown Cville location was just as pleasant. Looking forward to coming back next time I am in the area.

Stopped by for a coffee and was delighted to see homemade syrups and unique coffee offerings. My caramel breve was perfect—balanced amount of espresso with the caramel and steamed just the way I prefer. The barista was great to chat with too, very friendly! Also snagged a piece of flourless chocolate cake and it too was amazing. They had a nice selection of pastries and treats left late in the afternoon to choose from. Would absolutely return here!!
