About

Academy pairs carefully prepared espresso and seasonal signature drinks with a shared butcher-and-sandwich counter; reviewers single out the dirty chai and flat white. Indoor seating is limited to a couple of window seats, with benches outside, so it works especially well as a coffee stop before a Virginia Highlands walk rather than a long sit-down visit.
