“Easily the best coffee/pastry shop between charlottesville and Richmond. The owners care about their drinks and pastries. The Chai latte is out of this world, add maple spice and its like autumn in a cup. I have literally never had a bad drink there. I will happily drive 45 minutes from my house for the Daily Grind. The atmosphere is perfect, it's always clean and cozy. I was able to complete my school work without all the noise you'd get at Starbucks. I love this place. It's definitely a hidden gem.Kid-friendliness: My daughter loves their ice cream selection!“
“Norkeita is simply the best. I have never once had anything that was less than superb. Every cupcake, cake, and cake tin was decadent and beautifully designed. I've gotten many of my friends obsessed with Caked Up and it's well deserved. My favorite is either the cinnamon biscoff cookie butter cake tin or tonight dough cake. Her Swiss meringue buttercream is to DIE for and perfectly smooth and flavorful. If I could give her more than 5 stars I would!!! All of her cakes and cupcakes are BEAUTIFUL and decorated so perfectly, check out her Instagram if you haven't already!“
“Went to get ice cream the other weekend, the girl working on a rainy afternoon was very kind and gave solid opinions on the flavors. The toasted coconut ice cream was to die for! A bit pricy but the flavors are certainly worth it. I’d definitely return!“
“Kohr Brothers is locally owned and run, and we love supporting our locally owned businesses when we come here. The treats are delicious no matter what you order, and the service has always been great! I love that you can mix and match most of their flavors. Try a peanut butter chocolate swirl for an extra special treat!“
“In a town with some amazing dessert options, this is one of my favorite places for a sweet treat. The owner is something of a flavor genius, and can knock the traditional gelato flavors out of the park, but I really love her creativity with the "weird" flavors. She puts together flavor combinations that I would never come up with in a million years, and they usually just HIT. I love hole she incorporates local and seasonal ingredients - sometimes foraged! Challenge yourself to try something new, or let yourself be embraced by a comforting favorite.Oh, and do yourself a favor and try an affogato (gelato with a shot of espresso poured over it) or chocogato (the same, but with hot chocolate poured over). ?Super cute shop with funky, mildly eccentric decor, and I interesting, thoughtful, good people running the place. One of the best things about Cville.Vegetarian options: Pretty sure everything is vegetarian. Many things are also vegan.Dietary restrictions: She often has vegan and gluten free baked goods, and her dairy-free frozen flavors are vegan.“
“Love in a different state but ordered cookies from Charlottesville location to be delivered as a sweet treat for someone special. The app and online order process through delivery was perfect! I highly recommend if you want to send someone a hug in a box.“
“February 26, 2024 - Enjoy fresh made ice cream with the “ Fonz on TV’s Happy Days” !Over 20 ice cream flavors it’s a difficult decision.Fun to look around this nostalgic ice cream shop, owner Tony Labua founded in 1985. One source mentions an Uncle who owned Chaps in 1963 in a different location. Currently UVA Professor Tami Kim owns Chaps ( since purchase in 2022).My wife and I couldn’t resist this delicious ice cream after dinner. She usually orders some kind of chocolate creation. I opted for a strawberry milkshake with chocolate syrup !??????, with chunks of strawberry ?!Hey, I recall Bob Rose teaching us landscapes on tv in the 60’s & 70’s, over in the corner! You’ll notice a mock up Juke Box from the 50’s, behind the counter . . . Playing Beatles, Motown, and Ray Charles hits !I highly recommend a walk, after that delicious ice cream from Chaps! ???“
“I have travelled the entire world from Bamako to Quanzhou, spent decades wandering this cruel and beautiful world.Nothing has led me to weep, break down on the ground in tears of astonishment and joy.Nothing except La Flor Michoacana.Alhamdoulillah, for I have found paradise at last.“
