My friends and I were exploring Downtown Charlottesville last weekend and stopped by Chaps because…read morewe wanted ice cream. It has a classic retro/neon ice cream shop interior with booths and bar seating. I sampled a couple flavors (4 C's and black raspberry) before setting on the latter since it wasn't as sweet. The kid's scoop was 3.75 before tax, which is not bad for how much ice cream costs at most places nowadays. The black raspberry ice cream wasn't as creamy (a bit like a sorbet almost) as I hoped, but still a nice sweet treat. My friends enjoyed their Moose Tracks and 4 C's flavors, which were much creamier. Overall, glad we stopped by for ice cream. They have at least 20 different flavors available here.

Came in around 9:40 to get some ice cream after a long day and was very shortly served. The ice…read morecream was made amazing and the service was quick but the two young men taking my order seemed very over it and not the most polite. I work at an ice cream shop myself and although it might be annoying to have someone come 20 minutes before closing I never let my smile and service fade. Getting ice cream should always be the best point of each customers day and the customer should not be leaving feeling like you were annoying the workers just by doing what the shop was made for. Love this place and the customer service is usually always great but tonight it was way off. You can tell these aren't weekend workers because no way a Monday shift got you that annoyed.

The workers looked to be about high school age and the service was just average. There are a few dairy free options, which was nice, so I tried the lemonade sorbet. Just okay. Not the best sorbet I've had. My boyfriend tried some kind of chocolate ice cream and said it was decent. He commented the scoops were a bit smaller than he expected. Price is very high for just ice cream. Kilwins is a bit cheaper and chaos is definitely a better bang for your buck. Wasn't that impressed with the flavor. Overall it's a decent place to grab ice cream but nothing amazing.

They had some interesting flavors and we were able to try some samples. I opted for a scoop of apple pie and a scoop of sea salt caramel. Unlike other ice cream, where the caramel is hard, this ice cream had gooey caramel. The apple pie had pieces of apple and crispy bits of crust in it. They were both delicious! I have definitely found my favorite ice cream place!

Without a doubt, my favorite place for ice cream in and anywhere near Charlottesville! No matter…read morethe flavor, you will not be disappointed. My personal favorite(which I probably shouldn't disclose because it means that other people will go get my favorite and there might not be enough for me lol ) The ice cream has an incredibly creamy buttery mouth feel, and is always smooth and perfect texture on the tongue. The flavors are always heightened and never disappointing. Due to their tiny building and single window, one must often wait for your delicious treat. It would be wonderful if they were in a larger building with more employees so we can get our favorite ice creams more quickly! I highly recommend this place!

We decided to explore Downtown Charlottesville this past Saturday afternoon while we were on a…read morequick weekend getaway. As usual, I'm looking for the best coffee roaster to go to, and Lone Light Coffee was on the top of my list in this area. The coffee shop is on the smaller side, but it was warm and comfortable. The baristas were nice and three of them gave me their input on which single origin I should choose for my pour-over. POUR-OVER - MKT Price +6.50 for Mohammed Aba Nura - Ethiopia (tasting notes: Strawberry, white chocolate, hazelnut) I wanted the craziest tasting option they had, and they recommended this one since it's pretty popular and well-liked among customers. However, one of the barista said he didn't really like it himself. I figured I should still try it. The sips I had while it was still warm was pretty juicy and sweet, but I really didn't like the notes once it cooled down (about 20 minutes later), which tasted sour and off-putting. I should have listened to that one barista and went with a different single origin option. Overall, good roaster -- just unfortunate that I tried something that wasn't for me. The baristas seem knowledgeable and passionate about their craft. I would love to come back next time and try another single origin offering.

The baristas are excellent at making coffee, friendly, and the seasonal drinks are creative. They have a cardamom syrup that's delicious in lattes.

I wouldn't recommend trying to get work done here during a busy time since it's not a huge space.
