Chaps is my go-to ice cream stop in C’Ville. When dining out on the downtown mall, we usually make dinner plans around including a dessert stop at Chaps. Great ice cream and nice folks!

Was delighted to find they had non-dairy ice cream, and it was delicious! Everyone there is so lovely. It was a wonderful place to hang out and cool down after a very long summer day.

The interior of this place looks like it has barely changed since it opened in the 1980s. The atmosphere is fantastic, the ice cream is great, the location is perfect, and the service is always good.
