Right on Washington Street in Haymarket, just off the James Madison Hwy exit of I-66, 1971 Coffee takes its craft seriously—very seriously. They proudly serve high-quality Colombian coffee, and the dedication to excellence is evident in every cup.
Owner Eliana Uribe has cultivated an inviting space that feels warm and casual. The small, cozy interior is perfect for gathering with friends or relaxing alone with a book. Though compact, the café has small tables and a few comfy chairs, giving it an intimate, welcoming vibe.
The food selection is surprisingly vast for such a small space. House-made treats, like oversized slices of pumpkin bread and carrot cake, are a delight. They also offer paninis and sandwiches, such as ham, tuna, and chicken salad—perfect if you’re after something more filling.
What really stands out is the ambiance: natural light streams in from both sides, creating a bright and airy atmosphere, enhanced by the front and back doors that give a lovely sense of flow. Along with convenient parking in the back making it easy for a quick stop.
The staff are just as lovely, with the young lady behind the counter radiating warmth and hospitality, making an already great experience even better.
While Haymarket has seen a surge of big chain businesses in recent years, 1971 Coffee is a refreshing reminder of what a local gem can offer. It’s the perfect spot for those seeking excellent coffee, a cozy setting, and friendly faces. If you find yourself in Haymarket, this is the place to be for a quality brew and a comfortable seat.
