    Coffee counter

    Coffee is absolutely delicious. Service was a bit slow but not to the fault of the barista - she was constantly pumping out drinks - just very busy. Seating inside for food was limited with multiple inquiring parties leaving after being notified of a 45-60 minute wait. For grab and go coffee, it was only about 10 minutes. Options are simple but abundant and quality is top notch! There was a single special which was maple and cinnamon latte which was really good! Inside space, even for standing, is limited and the short line quickly filled up the entrance but definitely worth the wait!

    This place is pretty on top of their breakfast game. We got avocado toast, beignets, coffee, and chicken sandwich they were all good! I would definitely come back again! They have parking, which you pay but they will give you a discount off of parking so it's "free" depending on your perspective

    I was visiting Charlottesville and my friend said Oakhurst Inn was on her list to try. She said they wouldn't take reservations. We came around 10:00 and there were lots of seating available. We decided to sit inside; they do offer outdoor seating as well...saw some people bring their doggos. So cute! Paid parking in the garage, no validation. Inside was quaint. Service average. We got the farm sandwich, chai latte, blueberry muffin, and frittata. My farm sandwich was alright, but the blueberry muffin was pretty good. Wouldn't be opposed to coming back, but if alone...would explore the other restaurants Charlottesville has to offer.

    Chicken and Biscuits with a side of fruit

    Visiting friends in town and we went to the Oakhurst Café for brunch. Highly recommend making a reservation ahead of time, we were seated right away. While there is both indoor and outdoor seating, the total dining area is small. They had friendly servers, excellent coffee and a wonderful menu!! I got the chicken and biscuits. The biscuits were grilled, warm, buttery and rich in flavor. Nice crispy chicken nuggets and refreshing side of fruit! Can't wait to go back. There is a parking deck next to the restaurant and if you pay for the $3/hr and show your receipt to the staff, they will take $3 of your total bill.

    Food was super yummy. It's located in what looks to be a redone home which I enjoyed the vibes of! I think it's a park of a hotel complex? Parking is taken off of your bill once you show that you paid. I also love how helpful my server was, I forgot her name :(

    Special: Sweet potato waffles with marshmallow panna cotta

    This is a nice spot for a bougie brunch! Interesting menu that allows you ton try new things. We adored the beignets, and our server was lovely. Will go back and try different things!

    Stayed at the Oakhurst Inn during a road trip. The cafe was right outside the parking garage we parked and has 2 electric car chargers. There was a great variety of brunch vibes that hit the spot. Lots of locals just having coffee and many university meetings over some good food. Lots of natural sunlight as well! I've been on a crispy Brussel sprout obsession since I've been here. Great spot for breakfast if you're in town!

    The Oakhurst Inn espresso bar coffee and service is untouchable. It's a great location to grab a quick coffee or sit down and have a nice breakfast. Hands down -- I had a memorable experience while staying at the Inn for my birthday. It was easy to grab a coffee at the espresso bar and the cafe served an authentic American breakfast. The atmosphere was quiet and laid back. It has more of a quiet locale- university professionals and Inn guests tend to hang out there. It was not touristy at all. I was visiting with my dog and couldn't steer too far away from my room. This was an excellent choice before we headed out for the day. The coffee was smooth and bold. Service was quick and the staff was flexible when taking orders. They're very friendly and accommodating. Overall, the food was good and served fresh and made to order. I had breakfast at the Oakhurst Inn twice. The Traditional and the Avocado toast were both great choices. The Avocado toast was served with salmon and a poached egg. I asked to amend the order. They happily accommodated my request. I ordered scrambled eggs instead of the salmon and poached eggs. It tasted great. My experience was great.

    Traditional w biscuit and sausage

    A little hard to find if you're not from the area. It's next to a parking garage and it's cute & quaint little place. I went early Monday morning and glad I did. I just got the traditional with the sausage. All good but that sausage was some of the best I have had. Service was friendly and helpful. Definitely a place to visit while in Charlottesville.

    Lovely location close to campus and a great atmosphere. Very strong service. But some misses on the food. The coffee is weak, especially with any cream or half and half in it. The local sausage was tasty, but don't dump it on the side salad since it wilts the leaves and quickly cools the sausage. The bacon was both overcooked and cold as if it was prepared to crumble in a salad. But really loved the Grand Marnier waffle with orange curd and Chantilly cream. The waffle was perfectly toasted on the outside and had a strong orange flavor. The cream was plenty of vanilla bean in it for contrast. Would come back for this dish for sure.

    The Vegan South Range Burger
    Kevin D.

    The Oakhurst Inn Café & Espresso Bar is quaint! Customer service is good; an employee is kind and helps me understand a Vegan option (not too many Vegan and/or gluten free options). The Vegan South Range Burger is good; every bite is flavorful, juicy, and the burger stays together. The sauce on the salad tastes good with both the burger and salad (which tastes really good). The establishment has outdoor and indoor seating areas. The establishment takes different forms of payment.

    Avocado Toast
    Justin N.

    Came here with a friend for breakfast a while back. The ambiance is cute. The avocado toast was good! It had a nice presentation and balance of flavors. The breakfast burger was average. Probably would not order it again. The coffee was also average. I'm interested in coming back for brunch in the future because of the ambiance and other items on the menu.

    The oakhurst inn is somewhere I've walked by for two years, yet somehow never tried. I always thought it to be too fancy for a casual breakfast and coffee, but today I was proven wrong. I tried the frittata, toast, and Cuban espresso. While I don't think anyone should pay $3 for a slice of toasted bread, I almost changed my mind this morning. My sourdough slice was lightly toasted and buttered, and was absolutely delightful. I forgot to stir my cuban, so while the first half was strong and bitter, the second half was sweet and flavorful. The frittata was very large, and absolutely perfect. The eggs were light and fluffy, the vegetables were crisp, juicy, and packed a punch of flavor. Going back to the toast: I love sourdough bread. Over the pandemic lockdown, I received a sourdough starter from a work friend and began making my own loaves every couple of days. The experience was truly wonderful, and I have grown to appreciate the flavor and texture of a good sourdough loaf. The single slice I received with breakfast this morning brought me back two years to those early hours I spent feeding and taking care of my starter. When I took the first bite of my toast, the salty crunchiness combined with the soft, flavorful inside of the slice worked together to give me an absolutely amazing experience. I delighted in every single bite of my toast, and almost found myself ordering a second once I was done. Speaking of a second slice of toast, my slice was cut in half! A perfectly straight diagonal cut, that provided even more options of how to indulge in the delightful piece of bread. Truly a wonderful experience. Overall, the food and drink were very good, and the prices were much lower than I expected.

The mains came out around 30+ minutes. A bit long imo. Overall food was good, not great. Most disappointing was the tomatoes that lacked flavor. The crab Bennie was pricey and fell flat. My wife and daughter both enjoy their dishes, but eggs were somewhat dry. Coffee was very good. It's a beautiful place with outdoor option. But the food is over hyped and pricey. The service was rushed. I still will go back. 3.5 rounding up for atmosphere.
