Coffee was amazing but be warned, they no longer have a kitchen. Super small but has a patio.

We stopped in recently while visiting downtown Charlottesville. Good customer service, a nice selection, and the coffee was good! Lots of little tables to sit and work at as well.

Nice, little coffee shop in the town. I'm a fan of seasonal coffees and they seem to come up with quite an extensive list of unique drinks each season. I'll make it a point to check it out whenever I'm in town.

Generous and tasty breakfasts here at a reasonable price.

Great breakfast in a super cute walking area. We ordered an assortment of options across our group of 4 and everyone loved their food. I got an egg, bacon and Swiss sandwich on sourdough and coffee; very good!

A college student's diner~ food is very well portioned at an affordable price. Everything was fresh and tasted great, even to adults in their 30's! Potatoes were seasoned yummily, and the eggs are accurately cooked to how you order them. Yogurt was a bit sweet for our taste, but the parfait was still delicious. There's plenty of both indoor and outdoor seating, and the restaurant is clean. You can ask for coffee in mugs instead of paper cups in you're dining-in.
