    Goodies to much on with your drink.

    It has taken me way too long to get to Kindness. It isn't exactly on the way to work, and I don't work out at the Y in the morning. Well, maybe if I did work out in the morning I could grab Kindness on the way out... But that's another review. I grabbed a Mocha Latte the other day and it was AMAZING! The barista did a great job making the drink. It had just the right mixture of mocha flavor and coffee flavor. They have a great spot in the lobby of the YMCA with seating to enjoy a drink, read a book, or study. You DO NOT have to be a member of the YMCA to visit. It is open to the public. Kindness is a non-profit that employees adults with disabilities. While drinks and pastries are the vehicle, anyone who visits knows they are actually selling a unique experience where people with and without disabilities interact as peers, where connections are made and lives are transformed. Run, don't walk to Kindness. Grab a drink or conversation, and pick up some great swag too!

    Kindness has 100% contactless pickup! My coffee was ready in minutes and was the best I've had in Charlottesville!

    They have 100% contactless pickup (you order online and pick up from a table) I've had lattes, mochas and several of the baked goods and everything has been amazing.

    Excellent,specialized cupcakes from a lovely at-home store owner. Consider using this home baker…read morefor small and large orders! The chocolate cupcake was fluffy, moist, and evenly filled with chocolate ganache. The peanut butter buttercream frosting was one of the best I've had; not overly sweet and was not at all gritty! The individual boxes that the cupcakes came in were a wonderful, unexpected touch. The process for ordering and picking up the cupcakes was effortless. Brenda, the store owner, was a sweet woman who took my phone call with excitement. She walked me through her flavor profiles and gave me an affordable rate for a half dozen cupcakes. I ordered approximately 5 days before I needed to pick them up with no issues. I even gave her an approximate time I would pick them up at and she made sure to have them ready by then. On pickup day, I drove out to her home which was minutes off Route 29 (behind the CVS on Moore Rd.) Her home, including her kitchen, were immaculate and very, very clean! Just a wonderful experience all around! Please consider giving your business to a local baker!

    From our first meeting with Brenda she was very interested in what my daughter wanted for her…read morewedding reception. Brenda took the time to listen to my daughter and son-n-law asking what they wanted and how she could help make their day perfect. Brenda delivered on service with perfection. The cake and cupcakes were amazing. Many of our guests commented asking who was our baker? Easy Street Bakery is and should be your only choice for cakes and cupcakes. Thank you to Brenda and Homer for being a huge part of making my daughter and son-n-laws wedding the best day ever!
