17 Best Cafes in Charlottesville

“Sono stata in questo caffè molte volte e spero di poter tornare ancora. Qui è possibile gustare un ottimo cappuccino e dolci squisiti. Più di una volta ho pensato che il cappuccino fosse addirittura migliore di quello che servono in Italia. Personale attento e molto, molto cortese. Bravissimi!!!“

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

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

“Cute restaurant and the food was amazing. Brunch at Oakhurst Inn is an absolute treat. The burger was phenomenal—juicy, flavorful, and elevated by a rich onion jam that hit all the right notes. The fried chicken sandwich was another highlight: perfectly crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, with a hot sauce that brought just the right amount of heat and tang.

The beignets were a delightful surprise—pillowy soft and paired beautifully with citrus and raspberry jam. Pair that with a light, crisp mimosa and you’ve got yourself a perfect morning.

Parking is stress-free thanks to the adjacent garage, and if the weather’s nice, definitely opt for a table outside. The patio is peaceful and adds so much charm to the experience. A must-visit brunch spot in town.“

“Super tasty, lovely space in great location, friendly staff. Always a great visit!“

“A wonderful place to get a sweet treat. Plenty of dairy and gluten free options, and the owner, PK, is always very careful when I mention my food allergies. There are classic gelato flavors to choose from that sit alongside unique and really creative flavors for those who like to try new things! We also ordered custom gluten free & dairy free cupcakes for our baby shower that were absolutely delicious and worth every penny. Splendora's is a family favorite of ours. Definitely a small business to support!“

“Great place! I do the open mic comedy nights and it’s great 😇“

“We went for a girls night out to celebrate wonderful friends. The food, wine recommendations and service were outstanding. The fried mushrooms were absolutely delicious. And the scallops with squid ink risotto was the best. We also enjoyed the halibut and creme brulee. Our server, Dylan, was fun and appropriately attentive. He made great recommendations on the food and wine.“

“Not too long ago I discovered Sk Coffee and I’m already in love with it. Not only do you get greeted with smiles but you get great quality coffee. Sk coffee is a great place to go to if you want a quiet environment for studies etc. I 100% recommend this to anybody!“

“It's like stepping back in time the moment you walk through the door... 50s/60s vibes, excellent ice-cream and milkshakes. Booths and barstools available for seating. Great place to cool off and have a cool treat

Kid-friendliness: Bathrooms and seating available, and the ice cream helps too“

“Very welcoming employees! The baker was very proud of his 2 breads that just came out of the oven. One was jalapeño cheddar! We love jalapeño cheddar bagels and jalapeno poppers, so we bought a loaf. The loaf itself was huge. The presentation was quite pretty with a jalapeño carefully baked on top. And the taste was fabulous. It has a brioche texture and toasted beautifully. we had it with cream cheese or butter- yum.“

“I did take out, I loved their burritos, chicken, white rice, black beans, cream? sour cream? I don't know but I would ask for buffalo sauce too. Gosh, they were so delicious! I would love to have one again, but I don't work up that way anymore and I don't know if they have regained there total menu since the pandemic. But next time I am up that way I am going to check in and see!“

“We love First Watch in Charlottesville!!“
