Cordial Coffee is a communal hub, artisanal coffee shop, and waffle maker in the small communities of Berryville, VA and Marshall, VA. Both locations have polished oak floors, black tables and chairs, artwork on the walls, large overhead menus, and natural light imparting a neighborly mood. The Berryville spot is the larger of the two and has more architectural nooks and crannies while the Marshall store shares space with a salon in some Victorian digs on Main Street.

On my first visit to Cordial back in August, at the Berryville location, I ordered an affogato – espresso and vanilla ice cream – and a plain waffle with blueberries and maple syrup. The affogato arrived first and looked the part, with several half moons of ice cream swirling amongst a sea of bubbled dark espresso turned chocolate brown. The espresso had excellent grassy and citrus notes and not a hint of over extracted bitterness. The combination was a very good concoction of milk, sugar, and vanilla resulting in a very solid reboot of my energy levels.

A short while later, a single waffle with blueberries and a votive of maple syrup arrived ready for consumption. Golden brown and light of foot, this circle of carbohydrate and dotted blue was a solid effort. Well made and simply presented, the exterior crunch and soft interior were ready for action, but the flavor was absentminded. Adding maple syrup quickened the tempo and the blueberries were plump and at their seasonal heights. However, I’d recommend choosing one of their rotating flavored batters for a more dynamic experience.

On my second visit, this time at their Marshall location, I ordered a cappuccino to brighten my morning. The milk was frothy and light and the medium house roast was a blend of several bean types. Nothing in the cup was over extracted or bitter and I left feeling more peppy.

On my third visit, this time while reviewing the Porsche Cayenne, I ordered a mocha and it delivered very solid chocolate flavors through the same medium blend house roast on a sunny weekday afternoon.

Staff members on all of these visits were skilled in their craft and personable, happy to answer questions and knew a number of their customers by name.

Cordial Coffee is representative of how much the coffee space has changed over the last ten years here in the U.S. Smaller more rural communities are now supportive of establishments serving drinks made from high quality locally roasted beans. During several visits, customers included writers, workmen, young parents, and retirees coming by for an afternoon boost from their favorite concoction.

Cordial Coffee’s two outposts in Berryville, VA and Marshall, VA are worth a stop should you find yourself in these towns, be in need a caffeine boost, or hanker for a flavored waffle in an appealing and characterful environment.

    I do not know whether it’s just me or if perhaps everybody else experiencing issues with your website.
    It seems like some of the written text on your posts are running off
    the screen. Can someone else please provide feedback and let me know if this
    is happening to them too? This could be a problem with
    my internet browser because I’ve had this happen previously.

    Many thanks
