Milli Coffee Roasters

if you've got a slow morning to burn and nowhere specific to be, preston avenue has a good answer. milli coffee roasters sits at 400 preston ave, in a part of charlottesville that doesn't feel like it's performing for anyone. locals know it well, which tends to mean something in a city this size. you're not walking into a place that's trying to prove anything, just one that's been doing its thing long enough to get comfortable with it. the roasting side of the operation means the coffee has a shorter distance to travel from roast to cup, and that's a detail worth caring about. worth timing your visit for a weekday morning cortado before the lunch crowd finds its way over.
