Nice new sun shaded patio area and open interior cafe space. Indeed a kind place to enjoy a good cup of Joe. Snack items somewhat small, could be beefed up but tasty. A lot too families and healthy folk as located inside the cville YMCA which is impressive.
This cafe is located in a gorgeous, renovated YMCA. The space is so clean and modern, with sidewalk chalk, giant connect four and outdoors seating with shade. The customer service was friendly and fast! I just heard one employee as someone outside if they wanted their “usual” and recited it down how many ice cubes she likes in her iced coffee! I love how they’ve created a welcoming space for everyone here. Also, the drip coffee was $2.5 for a 12oz. Mudhouse is $3.97 for a 12oz mug that ended up being less than 12oz and no free refills for dine in. Affordable, great coffee perfect for if you’re working out at the Y before or after.
My sons and I started frequenting Kindess Cafe during breaks in Zoom Kindergarten classes 2 years ago. We came for the curbside or drive by/drive-thru pick up (maybe the most convenient and easy "drive thru coffee" in town!!) of delicious icy Americanos, fun smoothies, perfect hot tea selection, and in the winter - FIST PUMPS (hot chocolate with so many treats). We could bring to the bike path or playground with us or now play some games they have set up outside. But not only did/do we continue to come for all of the treats, but for the chance to share a chat and some smiles under the big yellow umbrellas outside or just passing by with team Kindness. We're SO glad they're here!
This is such a wonderful cafe with an amazing mission. The staff works hard to serve every customer and the yummy food/coffee/smoothies are a bonus! Definitely a place to visit often.
We love Kindness Cafe! The staff is always so friendly and make such great treats. Our favorites are the smoothies and lattes!
This coffee shop is amazing! Great service, good coffee.
Simply the best!
Kindness Cafe is a great place to grab coffee or to meet friends, and the service and people are both outstanding. It has quickly become an important community hub in Charlottesville.
Kindness Cafe is such a happy, cheerful place to visit. Everyone welcomes you with a smile and makes you feel comfortable, and the drinks and snacks are tasty, too! I particularly enjoyed the iced coffee and frittata the last time I was there. I appreciate that there are gluten free options as well.
Wonderful space with wonderful people and delicious drinks.
Delicious drinks and snacks and even better customer service! The atmosphere is terrific. Really love the iced chai latte and their seasonal drinks, including the raspberry lemonade spritzer during summer and peppermint mocha during the winter!
Kindness Cafe + Play is my favorite coffee spot in Cville! The staff is friendly and welcoming, and the coffee & goodies are top notch. Not to mention the mission of Kindness is pretty remarkable. Thanks, Kindness Cafe! Will definitely come back again!

THE BEST! Kindness has the best coffee and the best vibes! I love coming in with my friends to hang or do work in their sunshiny and bright environment. But what truly makes Kindness special is its lovely and kind employees.
I’ve never had anything but a positive experience here. Definitely my favorite breakfast spot in Charlottesville
Super friendly staff and a great place to have drinks and study
