This is by far the best coffee shop I have ever visited. Each day I was visiting from the St. Louis area, I really tried to think of a reason for us to go to Hyperion! The coffee is consistently good, and the atmosphere is friendly with staff that reflects an attitude that they genuinely are happy to see you.

Visited the coffee shop during the spring. Atmosphere was welcoming, quaint, busy. A nice independent establishment, which i prefer to support. My double espresso was a different story. It looked more like a single shot. Bitter, barely warm, no crema, and ranks as one of the worst espresso's i have ever had. Needless to say highly disappointing. Didn't even bother going back through the waiting line. If a simple espresso can't be made the first go round then there isn't any reason the second will be any better. Perhaps their strong suit is standard coffee or the other concoctions that pass as coffee.

As a Hypnotherapist, I like to advertise my services in the town where I live, therefore and I like to do sometimes short demonstrations in public places such as this coffee shop. This is a great place to relax, and to do your computer work as well. It is also good for reading your favorite book while enjoying the best cup of coffee in such a beautiful Fredericksburg downtown area. In addition, I like the friendliness of the servers and the food too.

Do your self a favor and stop in here for your favorite espresso coffee drink. The staff are friendly and the baristas are very knowledgeable on all the offerings on the lengthy menu. Want something more suited to the dog days of summer? Definitely try a Mango Madness or FroJo! Very busy on weekends but well worth the wait.

My wife and I usually come here every week after Sunday evening mass to get some coffee. The coffee was very good initially when we first started coming here, but have noticed a degradation in quality, and our last few visits here where anything but pleasant. This last Sunday evening we ordered two large drinks to bring home with us. We politely asked for stickers to keep the contents from spilling since we drive and drink this at home. A lady (one of the owners) who was preparing the drinks refused to pick up a sticker that was lying right next to her and said to ask someone else to do this? I stated my displeasure as cordially as possible to her , and as she was preparing the second drink to my amazement she responded exactly as follows " You do want me to make you a good Expresso, don't you?". My wife and I are in our middle 40's, 50's with an established business in the area, and know this is no way how to treat a customer of any age, race, or gender. Our last few experiences here were unfriendly but this was off the chain and the last straw? This is not the only good coffee place in the Fredericksburg area and we're done here!
