Chaps Ice Cream

Ice cream here is outstanding. Ice cream on the downtown mall or even in Charlottesville. Recommended by a local and I don't regret it even my son left it the ice cream is homemade and the service is good it is very quaint little shop very old-school with antiques. there are old black-and-white movies playing in the background and it gives you that old-school vibe. they have a kids cone that is very affordable and we go there all the time literally best ice cream in the Charlottesville area hands-down

Staff was so nice. The best chocolate and peanut butter ice cream cone I have had in a while. Definitely would be going back if I lived locally.

GREAT homemade artisan ice cream and delicious diner breakfasts! A must visit if you're on the Charlottesville downtown mall.

This tiny ice cream shop, reminiscent of a 50's diner (complete with boat-loads of vintage Coca-Cola paraphernalia), is a local favorite. The staff is friendly and they actually make all of their ice cream on the premises, boasting an impressive selection of flavors, including: Oreo, cheesecake, birthday cake and pistachio in homemade waffle cones. In addition to coffee and sweets (and homemade donuts), they also offer diner classics from the grill to patrons who seat themselves in the handful of booths. Grab a scoop to go and enjoy it as you promenade under the stars along Charlottesville's Historic Downtown Mall - one of the longest pedestrian malls in the country.

Chap's ice cream is terrific. So many flavors. My favorite is the "4 C's". Milkshakes are great too. They make their own waffle cones. I've never eaten REAL food here, looks good though.

We enjoyed a delicious breakfast at Chaps! Omelette, eggs over easy, delicious home fries with onions and mushrooms, lots of coffee and wonderful service. Kim was our server and she was a hoot. Lots of banter back and forth and a really delightful lady. Sorry we didn't get back there on Sunday. We will be back to Chaps the next time we visit Charlottesville. What a beautiful place!

This local ice cream shop is hands down the best in town! I believe all of their ice cream is made in house which is so amazing! They put a lot of effort into this business and it shows from customer service down to their amazing ice cream!

I love this place. I can attribute 10% of my excess BMI to Chaps ice cream. And donuts. And homemade cones. And Tony's dad's secret chili recipe. I'm hoping my photo isn't still on the ladies room door.

Chaps is an awesome place to go and eat. And to visit cause you are at home here. Sit and talk with Tony the owner and staff. Who are all great. My favorites are Tony and Brenda aka Granny. I had been down had a bad day go here it will change. Love the food treat you like family. Just need to keep grill open longer.

Quick and easy! Coffee ice cream is extremely creamy and delicious. 🙌 it’s nice to feel like I’m in a genuine ice cream parlor.
