    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!

    The Oakhurst breve is absolute perfection! They also recently changed their menu so I'm excited to try their new items. I've never had a bad experience here! A personal favorite for brunch in Charlottesville.

    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

    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!

    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 :(

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Avocado salad, asparagus with Parmesan, and bacon (all from the sides menu)

My croissant tasted as though it was sourced from Costco; it had been heated up, which made it marginally palatable. I asked for a large cappuccino and got a drink that tasted as though a sugary syrup had been added to it. There was a huge volume of milk, which I guess was OK, and a small amount of OK-tasting espresso. The breakfast was convenient enough that I figured I'd go back for a second round the next morning. However, when I arrived at the coffee bar on Day Two, I was told that the person who would be staffing it was "running late" and that the croissants had not yet arrived. The front desk person found it in her heart to pour me some coffee from the huge urn at the coffee bar. I was grateful for the free lobby coffee but headed outside for my official breakfast. Outside was better.

There is a good amount of seating with two large shared-space tables and smaller circular tables, and there is free wifi access. The cafe offers coffee, tea, and draft options. I've only come in for coffee and tea twice and felt that it was overpriced for what you get. They only offer their iced drinks in the large option, and it's probably because the iced drink consists of 8-10 large ice cubes that take up a majority of the space of the cup. The iced chai and hot soy latte tasted good, but were standard. The food was kind of meh - I ordered a biscuit which was barely warmed up. Overall, an okay cafe (probably not my first choice to go to), but it will give you a caffeine fix if you need it.

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.
