Sbrocco’s Donuts and Espresso
115a Maury Ave, Charlottesville, VA
Crema's Take
“Sbrocco's is a beloved Charlottesville spot where genuinely crafted donuts—think real yeast and homemade dough—meet excellent specialty coffee drinks, creating the kind of quality-focused neighborhood gathering place that draws consistent crowds. The apple fritter is a standout that even non-donut enthusiasts rave about, and the warm, engaging staff make the inevitable short wait feel worthwhile. It's the type of place where locals confidently grab pastries for visiting family or stop in for a carefully made espresso drink alongside something freshly fried.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. Quick-grab spot. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly.

Such real authentic dough used in the delicious fritter and twisted sweet roll. You could taste the yeast and texture so good!! Real homemade not a mix. Worth. Stop.

Tasty donuts but that means there's typically a line and a wait time of 5-10 minutes. I'd like to see the store invest in a second checkout iPad to help with orders and payment. Parking is tight and limited but not impossible. Very tiny storefront, so it can feel a bit crowded.…

Sbroccos is amazing! Gourmet apple fritters, honey buns, regular glazed, crumb cake, cookies, changing special donuts, and more. While all of what I just listed might sound like an ordinary donut shop offering, this is the best apple fritter, honey bun, cooki, etc you will ever…
