Chaps Ice Cream

My waffle cone was old very soft.Service was crazy slow.Their were 4 in my party.By the time the other 3 got their shake my icecream was gone.Could not eat the cone.

Great ice cream downtown. Interesting interior but tables are wobbly.

It's a beautiful almost summer evening in Cville, lots of people out on the Dowtown Mall and there's delicious homemade ice cream .. what could be better ?!

I’m sure the ice cream is good but we went for breakfast and it was amazing! Highly recommend. Everyone was super friendly and the food was simple and delicious. Thanks for a great experience :)

Delicious, classic, and very C'Ville.

Sadly, the prices are also very C'Ville. Expect to spend even $10 a head for your treat, even more than other 'local' and hand crafted options like MooThru or less local Ben and Jerry's.

My kids and I go here WHENEVER we're in town. The small joint has a nice nostalgic feel reminiscent of " The Happy Days." Who can forget about the Fonz? Chaps, decked out with1940/50's era soda shop stools and booth seating adorned with a retro metal base and coat racks on the end, it's a place where you just feel at home. It's not pretentious, there are no gimmicks, what you see is what you get; and that's damn good old fashioned ice cream! Their banana ice cream is made with real bananas, none of that fake extract jazz ( and they're not afraid to admit it!). Their hand-dipped cherry vanilla scoop is true to the old fashion scene; just big chunks of cherry in a vanilla cream base ( not tainted with any sort of coloring!) it's what dreams are made of; well, mine at least. And their cookies and cream is ALWAYS a classic. They mix it just the right way so there are still good sized bits of Oreos in the mix. If you have little ones, bring wipes. Things WILL get messy.

My husband and I came here while we were visiting Charlottesville after hearing amazing reviews from locals and other tourists alike. There is a reason why this ice cream parlor has such a good reputation...it exceeds expectations!

We were very happy with our lunches. The prices seemed reasonable and the atmosphere is 'little diner' or 'lunch counter.' Our BLT and ham & cheese sandwiches were simple and delicious. It was just what we wanted. Service was excellent.

Such a cute and retro place. Love the vibes and the ice cream was delicious!

We love uncle Tony. I my self have been going to chap's ice cream for over 10+ years I love the family atmosphere. They always have good music can't go wrong with the oldies. I know every flavor by heart and they always have what I want so the little kid comes out. Homemade waffle cones homemade donuts homemade cookies great food options an amazing ice cream this is the type of store you can't go wrong and not to mention they have a great barista right out front. I will be coming back for many years to come
