WHERE THE COMMUNITY CONNECTS OVER COFFEE

The Italian Station is a locally-owned, independently-operated coffee shop located on Caroline Street in the historic district of downtown Fredericksburg. Since 2017, our guests have enjoyed handcrafted beverages brewed with Lavazza’s finest roasts, savory lunch and breakfast selections from Sicily and authentic Italian desserts and pastries…all amidst an upbeat ambiance of warmth and inclusion.

We believe in quality, consistency, customer service and doing everything possible to give back to the community. Our shop regularly supports local non-profit organizations like the Rappahannock Rotary Club, Micah Ecumenical Ministries and the Fredericksburg Area Museum. The Italian Station also hold regular “Coffee With A Cop” events with the Fredericksburg Police Department and Fredericksburg Sheriff’s Office, regularly participates in and supports community events including the Marine Corps Marathon, Fredericksburg Pride parade and Movie In The Park with Fredericksburg Parks, Recreation and Events.

Our goal is to provide a safe, inclusive and positive environment for the community to connect for conversations and share experiences with one another. Whether you’re looking for a quiet escape to catch up on some work or a lively space to socialize safely with friends and family, our shop has everything you need. 

We look forward to serving you!

PAY IT FORWARD: A MOVEMENT

For #RandomActsOfKindnessDay on February 17, 2020, the Italian Station partnered with the Fredericksburg Chamber of Commerce to “Pay It Forward.” Each customer was given an opportunity to pay for the next customer’s order, helping spreading generosity, giving and good cheer. More than 2,000 customers participated, making it one of the largest “Pay It Forward” campaigns in the country.

The event caught the attention of NBC4 News Washington, Virginia’s Main Street organization and Fredericksburg’s Free-Lance Star newspaper, all of whom featuring it in their coverage.
