The owners of Mudhouse used to giggle and pass notes in 8th grade math. After college, walkabouts, and real jobs, they met back up in Alaska and lived in a old VW van, down by the river. That’s when they decided to open a coffeehouse back in Virginia.

They wanted to make a difference. People thought they were crazy. Banks thought they were crazy, but they persevered and now here they are, 20 years later, in the middle of a dream, roasting coffee together for people they love and playing around, still giggling like two little monkeys.

Nestled in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the first Greenberry’s Coffee Co. store opened in Charlottesville, VA in 1992. They opened with the intent of serving the finest selection of specialty coffees, teas and fresh-baked pastries in a warm and inviting atmosphere.

In order to ensure the integrity and quality of the coffee they sold, they knew that they needed to roast their own product. Even today, every batch of coffee they sell is roasted by hand and shipped fresh on a daily basis. Their Master Coffee Roasters view roasting as an art, not a job, and the difference is evident in every cup they sell.
