Restaurants in Charlottesville

“Love it 🥰 pizza and service are fantastic.”

“Jacob, Fairie, and I went to Smyrna tonight and it was exceptional. Our server, David was welcoming, attentive, and down to earth. He knows a good bit about Cville music history which was a plus for us! Orhun is also a music lover and is the reason we had to check out this amazing spot. His and the team’s hospitality is top of the line. Everything we had was great and full of flavor that would include the Meze Trio, the Charred Octopus , the Market Greens and even the carrots were outstanding. Don’t sleep on this gem, Cville.”

“This place is a must visit if you enjoy Korean food or if you are new to it and would like to try it for the first time. Excellent service provided by an amazing staff. The food is absolutely delicious! The kimchi is the best I’ve had and the menu is varied to please everyone’s taste. I definitely recommend Bulpan for an excellent meal and experience.”

“Charcuterie Board! Very tasty with 3 cheeses and 2 meats. Great price. Service was excellent. Yummy baguette, very good crust. Thank you!”

“Surprising treat fried chicken amazing.”

“Chef Yoder is incredibly talented. Unexpected food combinations that blew us away. Amazing wait staff and don’t skip the beverage pairing! Highly educated sommeliers on staff! It was just dinner, it was an experience that I haven’t stopped talking about weeks later!”

“Thank you. Absolute perfection.”

“We have been celebrating my daughter’s living anniversary at Ivy Inn for the past 3 years. Food is exceptional and wait service is golden.”

“Highly recommend this restaurant! The house salad was the best salad I’d ever had. The cocktails are wonderful; the tender even accommodated my special request. The entrees were sumptuous; we got the Italian sausage pasta and the salmon. We travel through Charlottesville twice a year and dine here on our way up and back each year. It’s my favorite part of our trip. Service is excellent.”

“Decided to visit the city of Charlottesville Virginia with the husband. Found this brewery and decided to give it a try. It turned out to be an excellent choice.

Our bartender Tatum was charming, incredibly knowledgeable about the product and gave us great suggestions. Honestly, their Harringbone NE Hazy IPA is the best I've ever had. With that bright citrus beginning and a smooth ending, it doesn't have the aftertaste that so many hazy IPAs have. I like the fact that they offer a 6 oz pour on most of their beers.

I also had the farro, wild rice, quinoa salad, a tasty blend of roasted veggies, mixed greens, toasted walnuts and a citrus herb vinaigrette, topped with feta cheese. It was very tasty indeed.

If you're in the area, check it out! You will not be disappointed.”

“Delicious food, professional staff with personal attention. Quaint, romantic atmosphere.”

“Everything we tried was phenomenal. Loved the variety of vegetarian options. Our server was knowledgeable and friendly. Cocktails were great too! Will be back if I’m in the area again for sure.”

“Great food, fair pricing & excellent service. It was my first visit, but I’ll be back.”

“Had a birthday lunch here…..had a bowl with many items ALL of which were absolutely delicious! Will come back whenever back in Cville…wish they were near where I live!!!”

“My wife and I had an amazing dining experience at Maya! The food was absolutely delicious and the presentation was impeccable. The staff was very attentive and friendly, making us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. The ambiance was perfect, creating a delightful atmosphere for a very memorable meal. I can't wait to return and savor their fantastic cuisine once again. This restaurant is a must in Charlottesville. Highly recommended!”

“Great food and atmosphere!”

“We have lived in Charlottesville for 7 years. While we have only eaten at Petit Pois 4 times, it was the first restaurant we at at when we came up to initially look for places to live and it was the most recent place we have dine out, last night for NYE. It is small and cramped. They can't do anything about that. The service has always been top notch, warm, hospitable, engaging and friendly without being over the top. While nothing we have ever eaten there has been memorable; that isn't a slight. Everything has always been good and of the value that we have paid. A place like this with its' price point need to make good food that is better than what I can do at home and better than a chain or corporate "faux" bistro. Along with the good food and the exceptional service they always hit the mark. Last night was the 2nd time we have come in for a New Years Eve meal. We live within walking distance to the downtown mall and we aren't party animals so we typically don't make NYE reservations and just walk down to the strip and see if we can saddle up at a bar somewhere. Last week my fiancee mentioned that this year she would like to make reservations and go out. I searched everywhere in Charlottesville and the surrounding area and all reservations were booked up. Bummer. So, we decided to do our regular routine, put on decent clothes and walk and see if we could slide in somewhere----our first choice as Petit Pois. We go there and talked to the host to see if there was anything possible available, knowing the probability was low and we were OK with that. The host checked, talked to his folks, came out and showed us to a table. Yes, it was small and it was cramped but THEY MADE IT HAPPEN FOR US. Everything was what we expected. The food was good, the service as great, and the price was reasonable, and we had a nice meal and got home in time to watch the ball drop. Thanks Petit Pois. We will see you next New Years.”

“We took our dinner club to Birdhouse last week and had an absolute blast. The dinner was beautiful with lots of delicious chicken and side dishes that included macaroni and cheese and homemade kale. Absolutely awesome, loved it, and we'll be back.”

“Tucked away down a small alley. Great food and drinks!”

“Over the course of the last month or so we have been there three times. We highly recommend this restaurant and have yet to have a bad experience. Contrary to the negative reviews on here I cannot say that we have experience anything stated. All of our food has come out with great presentation and very tasty. The wait staff has always been very attentive however, I will say they are challenged at times due to the amount of staff that they have versus the amount of tables that they serve. Taking that into consideration, our food has always come out in a reasonable amount of time, has always been to temp and we have had no complaints about the food or service at any point. I will stay that people have to be mindful. This is not fast food. The food at this restaurant is made to order and they offer specials every week so if you’re looking for something more immediate, this is definitely not the restaurant for you however, if you’re looking for a well crafted meal then this definitely is a place for you. I would recommend going on their date night for a great deal.”

“Daisy is the absolute best! And her pink hair is amazing. The vibes are immaculate here. Will be coming back! 🖤”

“What an incredible little restaurant. I still can’t believe we happened across it! My boyfriend and I live in DC and eat out quite frequently, and Tavola topped some Michelin star restaurants we’ve tried. We were blown away by the kindness and knowledge of the sommelier and staff, the generosity and talent of the kitchen, and the overall atmosphere and ambiance. Every dish was on point, every service mark was hit, and I could write paragraphs about the wine recommendations. I would rate it more than five stars if I could. Huge thank you to Clay, Caleb, Kendall and everyone else we met for making our night so memorable. If you’re thinking about opening another location I vote DC!”

“Delicious meal here September 4. Chicken kebab with rice and side of chickpeas was very flavorful. Wife had vegetarian medley with chickpeas, potatoes, rice. Just great flavors all around. Server was very knowledgeable and helpful.”

“Ever since I had to go gluten free early this year, I've been missing real pizza, especially Detroit style. I couldn't believe how good this pizza was!! I will be back many many times. The service was also great and the server/bartender was very kind and friendly.”

“The Wool Factory is such an incredible wedding venue, and it was an absolute joy to photograph a wedding there. The combination of the historic architecture, beautiful grounds, and thoughtfully preserved character makes it such a unique and beautiful setting for a wedding.

What stood out to me just as much as the venue itself was how wonderful the team was to work with. Everyone was welcoming, professional, and genuinely helpful throughout the day, which makes such a difference for a wedding vendor. You can tell there is a tremendous amount of care that goes into creating a seamless experience for couples and their guests.

As a photographer, I loved having so many beautiful spaces and textures to work with while still feeling like the venue had so much authentic character. It photographs beautifully without feeling overly designed or staged.

The Wool Factory is truly one of those places that feels both historic and elevated while still being warm and inviting. I would absolutely love to photograph there again!

“Perfectly executed modern Japanese cuisine. Their wine list and sake options are exceptional. Do ask for recommendations on the Sake flights, they have some real gems. The fish and cooked dishes are impeccably prepared.”

“We had an absolutely incredible dining experience at Zocalo. The presentation and quality of the food were exquisite. We started with the gazpacho, a deliciously complex blend of flavors. The scallops were perfectly seared, the octopus delightfully tender, and the salmon expertly seasoned and cooked to perfection. My personal favorite was the passion fruit dessert. The staff were kind and extremely attentive, and Chef Will even came out to greet us and inquire about our meal. I can't say enough great things about this restaurant. You won't be disappointed by a visit to Zocalo. It is now, hands down, one of my favorite restaurants I’ve ever been to!”

“Best barbecue in Charlottesville!”

“We had an amazing dinner with friends. Highly recommend this restaurant.”

“We came here back to back nights- first for a glass of wine (10/10, highly recommend the Tempranillo) and then back for dinner. The pasta is from Luce and was incredible! We had the kale Caesar salad, cacio e pepe and Bolo pastas. Fresh, handmade pasta/ingredients. The service was outstanding for both experiences. Highly recommend for drinks, apps, dinner!”

“The food and service at this location are always good. Staff are friendly and service is prompt.

The atmosphere? Chaos. I love a happy and enjoyable environment where folks enjoy their jobs but this location is chaos. The jukebox is LOUD and the servers belt out full volume along to songs. They also holler across the store at each other and at familiar customers. This combined with the dishes clanking into the sink and the noises of food prep and orders being called = overstimulation central. But honestly, the quality of the dishware is outstanding for how it’s handled. Kudos to the company that makes them.

If you are looking to enjoy a meal in peace, this is not the place.

If you’re looking to enjoy a meal in the midst of chaos and high volumes, this is for you.”

“There was a guy working the kitchen, he was either 3rd or 2nd shift with a beard. He made my night by helping me get the iced coffee I wanted while the machine with the coffee in it was on the fritz. That was definitely something I would do at my job, and that’s definitely something to lead by.”

“Wonderful food and atmosphere!”

“The food was excellent, very flavorful .”

“Great service and delicious food. Buen servicio y comida rica!”

“Taste of Paris! Confused? Buenos Aires, Argentina, is known as the Paris of the Americas. These brothers have brought their home to us. Enjoy!!!”

“The food is delicious and if you're looking for the best Cuban coffee in CVille, this is your place!”

“Food Review: Royalty Eats Catering – A Soulful Delight at Our Block Party We had the absolute pleasure of working with Royalty Eats for our recent block party, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From start to finish, the service was nothing short of exceptional. Nakesha and her team went above and beyond. They worked with us to create a customized menu that perfectly matched the vibe of our event, and every dish was prepared with obvious care and love. It’s rare to find a catering team that not only delivers on taste but also on professionalism, punctuality, and genuine warmth. Now let’s talk about the food — simply delicious. Every bite was bursting with flavor, from the perfectly seasoned meats to the rich, comforting sides. It’s clear that Royalty Eats brings real soul to their soul food. If you're looking for top-tier catering with heart, flavor, and flawless execution, Royalty Eats is it. We’ll definitely be calling them again for future events!”

“The food is always great- hot and fresh even late at night. I always place a mobile order so I cannot be misunderstood. I love the healthy bowl options and the new shrimp topping option. The staff are kind.”

“I have been seeing so many posts about Mochi Donuts and I just had to have some. Stopped by Moge Tee UVA and was more than delighted with this visit. Very pleasant atmosphere and super friendly service. They seemed so genuine. You can tell that they care so much about QUALITY, because the fresh ground coffee was absolutely off the charts. This is quite possibly the BEST cup of coffee I have ever had in my 5 years of being in Virginia. Now to the good stuff, did I say good? I meant GREAT!!!!! The Mochi donuts were simply perfect. Texture and just the perfect amount of sweet. The soft chewy bite was everything that it should have been. My little princess and I ordered the 3 pack. Strawberry, Mango Coco, and of course the Matcha. Absolute bliss in every bite. If you're looking to get your Mochi fix, Moge Tee UVA has got you covered.”

“Crumbl Cookies in Charlottesville delivers exactly what you expect from the brand—visually impressive, oversized cookies with a constantly changing menu that keeps things interesting. The rotating weekly flavors are a standout feature and give you a reason to come back regularly, especially if you enjoy trying new combinations and seasonal options.

The cookies themselves are consistently described as rich, thick, and more “dessert-like” than traditional cookies—almost cake-like in texture, with bold flavors and elaborate toppings. Presentation is clearly a priority, and it shows from the moment you open the box.

Service is generally efficient, and the store runs with a streamlined system that moves orders quickly, even when it’s busy. The overall experience feels polished and modern, which aligns well with the brand’s strong social media presence.

That said, there are a couple of trade-offs that show up across reviews. The cookies tend to be on the sweeter, heavier side, which may not appeal to everyone, and the pricing is higher than typical bakeries in the area. Some customers view it as more of an occasional treat rather than a regular stop.

Overall, Crumbl Cookies in Charlottesville is best approached as a specialty dessert experience rather than a traditional bakery—ideal for sharing, gifting, or trying something new each week.”

“Such nice people and delicious ice cream and milkshakes with an awesome selection.”

“Went there today with my daughter. We had the Lamb kabob platter. It was so good. The bread was freshly baked and the chick peas were so delicious. So glad we gave this place a try. Will definitely go back.”

“Thank you so much for our lunch today at the covid vaccine clinic at Kmart. I had not had this meal before but what a surprise. Jerk chicken was wonderful. Thank you for your generosity and for such a wonderful lunch! Your community spirit is refreshing.”

“Delicious Great customer service Friendly staff”

“I I love Bodo’s in general, but what have they done to their whitefish and salmon salad? Five out of five for Bodo’s in general, one out of five for the changes made to the whitefish and salmon salad.”

“Great diner for breakfast and lunch. Friendly and prompt service. Food was delicious and reasonably priced. Sweet tea was really good also. Be sure to try the homemade cookies. Close to UVA medical facilities, & wheelchair accessible.”

“The team at mission bbq in Charlottesville delivers excellent customer service every time we come in. My husband and I have been to many Mission bbq’s along the east coast but this one is the our favorite! The food is always on point and the staff is extremely helpful and friendly!”

“I finally got to try their food due to the new 2nd truck on Berkmar. WOW. The torta de milanesa is sooo good and massive. Quick and friendly service. I’ll be a regular.”

“Omg as a foodie I can say that the food there is just so good everything is fresh and taste delicious. Will definitely come back .”

“Great atmosphere and probably the best burger I’ve ever ate. I’m new to the area and was really looking for something special that reminds me of just home and I found it and more. A must to all the new travel nurses in the area.”

“Best almond croissant I’ve ever tasted. Highly recommend.”

“Can not recommend Vivi's enough. They provided cupcakes for our UVA BIMS Recruitment visits and the students, faculty, and candidates were thrilled to see the display and enjoy the sweet treats. Billy was a delight to work with and bent over backwards to make our multiple orders happen, even on a day that they were closed and with delivery. We will be continuing this relationship for years to come!”

“This shop is a special find filled with character and owned/operated by a terrific local family. Whether you dine in and sit outside to people watch on the downtown market — or you get a massive to-go order for a big group… you are sure to be delighted!”

“LOVE THIS PLACE! It’s fantastic from top to bottom, from Barbie to barn. Can’t wait to come back (probably tomorrow morning for lunch!)”

“Food is amazing and the staff exemplify that of a fine dining experience but in a casual and fun atmosphere!”

“Amazing. Everything. Food, wine, service, ambiance, dessert. Just go.”

“Wonderful Authentic Thai food. Careful if you are gluten intolerant as many of their dishes do have gluten containing oyster sauce. There are a few of the dishes that you can get like the Thai Noodle soup (pictured bellow).”

“Honestly came here for the amazing cider but it turned out to be a very personal experience soley bc of Deena. What a gem she is. You can tell she enjoys her job and her spirit is contagious. She told us the history behind the buliding and the backstory of the two men who created the company. What a way to wrap up a vacation with amazing customer service and delicious cider. We can't wait to come back.
❤ 🍺”

“I ordered Dino's jumbo wings for lunch from their food truck at Patch Brewing and it was fantastic!! I was surprised to see my order was all flats, which is a huge bonus. The ranch dry rub was flavorful but not overpowering, it paired great with their ranch dressing. The Thai sweet sauce was delicious as well. Would definitely recommend the wings.”

“Excellent food, nice atmosphere, fair price.”

“Used to go there in the late 1970s- best burgers in C’ville!!!”

“Everything I've ever had from Corner Juice has been delicious. Their Dank Sinatra smoothie has been the only nutrients we can get into my mom in the hospital lately. The staff are so incredibly kind and compassionate, I can't say enough positive things about this business.”

“01.28.25 The beginning of January we had our Wedding Welcoming Party at Random Row in lieu of a traditional Rehearsal Dinner. The outcome was exactly what we were hoping for. It was a laid back and fun environment where 80 of our guests were able to have great pizza and refreshments in a way that brought all of the different families and friend groups together. Cori and her staff from the planning stages until the end of the night couldn’t have been easier to work with and we had great reviews from everyone that attended. They all commented that it was exactly what they wanted and many of the people that were there that had more traditional Rehearsal Dinners for their weddings wished they had done something like what we did. Random Row allowed us to rent out the entire facility for 4-hours at a cost that was very affordable. There were some negotiations during the planning stages regarding costs and operations and even the few places that Random Row was not able to have much wiggle room there was always an attitude of “lets try to figure this out and make it happen.” With that said, they were amenable to most of our requests and budget limits. Without commenting too much on pricing and expectations because those conversations are always unique to each situation, Random Row afforded us 4-private hours and we paid for 2-hours of pizza, salad, olives, and an open bar with our guests opening tabs for the rest of the night. The cost was affordable for a middle-class couple and the experience was worth every penny. We live around the corner from Random Row and have been visiting them for years for a quick pizza and a beer. It has been one of our go-to neighborhood spots since we moved to Charlottesville. Luckily, no matter where we go, Random Row will be part of our wedding memories. Thanks again to Cori, her staff, and all of the folks that made that evening special. Joel Frank and Marie Thomas”

“A delicious lunch today at Cou Cou Rachou. The staff was helpful and croissants mouthwatering.”

“I’ve been to Poke Sushi Bowl a few times now and love it! Such a great little treasure in Fredericksburg. The staff have been friendly and welcoming. I was fortunate to travel to Hawaii last year and feasted on authentic poke bowl at Tamura’s. This place does justice to poke bowls! The free cup of hot green tea is what really won my heart though. They sell the same brand of cold green tea served in Japan and the hot tea was also the same as I experienced in Japan. 🍵 I wish this business the best and hope Fredericksburg shows it some love.”

“Overall this fit the need. Fast and good breakfast. I think i slipped in there at the exact right moment with no line though. About 5 minutes later as I was waiting the line was to the door.”

“My two girlfriends and I had excellent lunch with you on Wednesday, July 24th....Welcoming, excellent service, -- good and plenty of food,...two of us had the #4 that gave us three kabobs...the seasoning was tops, one girl thought squash the best she has ever had ! I had the spinach and the salad was excellent. We will try the buffet when we go again ! This was our first time with you !Thanks !!”

“So happy to have this spot. The owners, Bernardo and Lucrecia, are super friendly and really care about the place and the people who come in.The coffee and breakfast and lunch food is delicious. go!!”

“Had a delicious breakfast burrito with chorizo this morning! Bravo y'all!”

“Better better better than you expect. simple, fresh, flavorful each ingredient is perfect. wow 10/10.”

“fantastic food very exciting tastes. wonderful place to eat.would definitely recommend”

“Yummy experience - friendly staff. Reasonable prices!”

“Awesome little local spot working closely with The Pie Chest. Awesome espresso, awesome coffee. They just started roasting/selling their own coffee and so far, it's nothing but gold. Try the Ethiopian! Straight blueberries and one of my absolute favorite coffees.period.”

“I don't know where you'll find better pizza at a better price than this place. Big slices of delicious pizza with a perfectly crispy crust. You can't beat it! These guys are legit!”

“great food”

“Its my new comfort place, literally my dream hangout spot!”

“Food is amazing and the staff exemplify that of a fine dining experience but in a casual and fun atmosphere!”

“Our food was served warm and delicious and arrived in a timely manner. My one year old granddaughter enjoyed some of our dishes too. Our server was prompt, friendly and helpful. It was wonderful to see such a cross section of folks also enjoying their lunch!!”

“We have dined at many Charlottesville restaurants over the years, but always come back to our favorite casual dining place, The Local. Great food, service and beverages. It’s like a fun family get together!”

“Yes, Zen and Now can be very tasty, almost authentic. But they need to maintain quality control and take their time preparing dishes. It’s such a popular place it can get frenetic and this is when preparation can miss. Service is fantastic, we have never experienced anything but sweet professionalism and just nice people. My only real gripe is the music is TOO loud - what happened to conversational level volume, that means - in the background! Also, what happened to playing Japanese music?! I’m from San Francisco - the best Japanese food and style…never loud, pleasssse.🙏”

“This shop is a special find filled with character and owned/operated by a terrific local family. Whether you dine in and sit outside to people watch on the downtown market — or you get a massive to-go order for a big group… you are sure to be delighted!”

“Great food. Never had a bad experience eating there. Kim is excellent. She knows our grand kids by name and usually what they want to eat. Best in town”

“No comments about the food, but, if you reserve a table you better double check. Yesterday was the second occasion when I had reserved a table for a special event and when I showed up on time I was told they were so busy and therefore had no table available. Not good business!”

“My two girlfriends and I had excellent lunch with you on Wednesday, July 24th....Welcoming, excellent service, -- good and plenty of food,...two of us had the #4 that gave us three kabobs...the seasoning was tops, one girl thought squash the best she has ever had !

“I visited this location this evening to pick up dinner for myself, my son and his friends. I cannot say enough wonderful things. From the lady taking the orders, to the young man at the window. Everything was fast, efficient, and the staff were extremely polite and friendly (which is hard to find in society today). We didn’t wait at all and the food was hot and fresh! This was our first time but we will be back!”

“I love ihop and the great hospitality there I really appreciate how everything is just right and right on time with the food and the fast waiters especially Kat she so nice and always have a friendly conversation and great attitude”

“Meh. The food was ok could have been cooked better but like atmosphere. Big Group tho and waitress was awesome!”

“Hands down. Some of the best food. Fish tacos General Tso’s cauliflower and wild mushroom ravioli 10 out of 10 Definitely coming back to try more.”

“We love First Watch in Charlottesville!!”

“Great food. Beautiful outdoor atmosphere.”

“the food and the amazing staff”

“great food”

“Welcoming and friendly with a great variety of fresh and deliciousness! It’s quick and convenient for a filling lunch. The price can’t be beat.”

“I promised the owner of this joint that I'd write a glowing review, since I rhapsodically praised his talents in person earlier today, and I'm thrilled to do so.

The Brassica Oleracea is, quite simply, the greatest sandwich I've eaten in my life. It's a delicious mix of carefully considered ingredients that combine perfectly into a sweet and savory blend, and the textures all interplay perfectly. The focaccia is outstanding. And the broccoli is flawless - the char is incredible, and there's not a hint of sogginess. If you're a vegetarian, you'll be delighted. And if you're a meat eater, you'll also be pleased - every sandwich on this menu is an imaginative and delicious feat.

It's bare-bones, and extremely clean. You punch your order into a kiosk, and they have a modest selection of drinks (there's also water with paper cups available). There's a little area outside where you can find a table and eat. If you're looking for a sit-down experience indoors where you'll be fawned over by a waiter, this isn't it. But if you're starving and want a creative and substantial lunch, this place totally has you covered.

I hope The Wich Lab is around for a long, long time, and I'm excited to bring more Charlottesville visitors to this fabulous eatery. This town has so many stellar dining options, but this little unpretentious sandwich place is right at the top of the heap.”

“El Tizon has the best tamales in town!”

“This place is gem with authentic and flavorful food…”

“Got the #3 with the Hot spice level and it was really good! The spice level felt pretty accurate, definitely hot but still enjoyable. Chicken was crispy and had a ton of flavor. Really solid meal!”

“The earlier reviews for the chai lured me in, and they were the honest truth. The chai is fantastic! And the Hand-held pies are wonderful too. Plus sweet and helpful staff! If I lived here, I would be a regular. If you are a regular, I envy you deeply.”

“Great space. Large and open. Family atmosphere. Softly played background music. Highly recommend a visit.”

“Ordered delivery on Door Dash, order filled promptly, spring rolls were very good, Banh Mi was fantastic, one of the best I’ve had in a while. Will have to come back this winter to try the pho”

“10 out of 10. Ordered Chicken Tikka Masala, perfect size, perfect taste. Tried something I've never had, the coconut cherry naan. The two went together very well, definitely recommend.
I got my food to go, so I didn't really get to take in the ambiance, but the restaurant was absolutely beautiful, and right in the heart of a really cool part of town with a lot of different shops in the area.”

“Top notch! Small place but great people and the bartender was awesome”

“Outstanding place to dine! Dined two nights in a row!!! I was met with the exceptional customer service of Keisha I had to dine in! I visited years prior and was concerned that service wouldnt match! Worry over cause Keisha gave us the most exceptional dining experience!! The chicken and biscoff waffle didn't disappoint!! The butter biscuits and seared salmon with collards was amazing. Ten out of ten!!! Don't sleep on this gem in Charlottesville, Va.”

“This is my 2nd visit to Camellia’s, and I am hooked. Their coffee is VERY good. I basically want to guzzle my latte. Their baristas and cashiers are super nice. Their pastry selection is insane. I’ve now tried three different pastries (no, I didn’t get two although I wanted to. I tried a piece of my friend’s lol), and all were delicious. The atmosphere is cozy, and they have lots of different searing options. You can sit at tables, in armchairs, on couches etc. This is now my new favorite coffee shop, and I spend a lot of time in coffee shops - so they’re about to get to know me really well!”

“The service was amazing. Food came out quick and delicious. Well designed space with all the TVs. Bonus: our kids played on the adjacent turf fields (part of the space) whilst we enjoyed a little downtime and football.”

“My Door Dash driver forgot the second bag of my order and failed to respond when I reached out. I called the store and spoke with Jared, who found the rest of my order and offered to deliver it himself! This kind of customer service is hard to find these days! I would give 10 stars if I could! Jared went above and beyond to help a group of hungry nurses who LOVE Chicken Salad Chick! The food here is always fresh and delicious. We will continue to order again and again!!”

“Not sure why this is listed as Thai food but it was very tasty. Got Italian sub and fries. Be advised it’s located within a food court between bowling alley and Starr Hill.”

“super cute place, staff was very nice and the cobblestone was yummy. this was my wife's go to for me to get her thin vanilla shakes while she was impatient at uva hospital its a nice easy walk.”
