I have grown up here in Charlottesville and so had my boyfriend. Chaps has been one of our favorite places to go from day 1 with each other!! The service is always so kind and top notch!! Their new gingerbread flavor is amazing!!!

I stopped in for a sweet treat to cool down and I am glad I did.
Amazing choice of flavors...
Amazing service.
Prices are reasonable.
Atmosphere gives off a retro dinner feeling.
The ice cream is fresh and delicious!

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!
