Coffee, Conversation & the Art of Simple Pleasures.

Welcome to Black Sheep Coffee

Come visit our cozy space—located right off of court square in Downtown Harrisonburg. We feature finely crafted espresso, drip coffee and manual pour-over service, using fresh roasted beans from roasters such as Red Rooster Coffee Roasters, Blanchards Coffee, Tandem Coffee Roasters, Pilot, Parlor Coffee, ReAnimator, Little Amps, and Roadmap Coffee Roasters. We use dairy products from Mt. Crawford Creamery. We carry a great selection of Rishi loose-leaf tea blends and cold specialty soda from Maine Root. We also have a wide selection of sparkling beverages from Cloud Water, Recess, and Aura Bora.

Our baked treats are made in-house with love, and our menu always offers something new to try. We believe our neighbors deserve variety, quality and great customer service. See you soon!

Meet The Owner

CHANCE EBERSOLD

Soon after moving to Virginia from his native Maine, Chance dove head first into the coffee industry—starting with Mudhouse Coffee Roasters out of Charlottesville. 20 years later, after graduating school and various food service careers, he felt it was time to make his own space in Harrisonburg.

Chance recognized the potential in a little corner of the Ice House while searching for a new location for The Yellow Button—owned by his wife, Miranda.

Building Black Sheep Coffee was a labor of love—even using reclaimed wood from tables he built for his wedding reception. He envisioned a space with an open floor plan and low counters, to encourage interaction with guests. Isn't that what a coffee house is about?
