Roux St Cafe
1871 Seminole Trl, Charlottesville, VA
Crema's Take
“Roux St Cafe brings genuine New Orleans cooking to Charlottesville with shrimp and grits that rival what you'd find in Louisiana itself, prepared by two professional chefs who clearly know their Creole craft. The kitchen shines brightest with their signature dishes like perfectly crispy boudin balls and flavorful jambalaya, paired with a warm, family-friendly atmosphere that makes it feel like a neighborhood gathering spot rather than just another cafe. Come here to slow down over a real breakfast and coffee in a place where the food and hospitality deserve the strong loyalty they've earned.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu. Family friendly.

I had a mixed experience. The food was amazing. I love shrimp and grits, and this was the best I've had. The staff was nice and attentive. What I was not happy with, we came in with gift cards for one entree each. We both ordered the half and half, so we could try more things,…
Hidden gem, taste of Nola in Virginia. The jambalaya was very falvourful. First time having the Maque Choux & an instant fan! The Boudin Balls were perfectly crispy on the outside, so soft & delicious on the inside with a great Cajun Remoulade sauce packed full of flavor. The…
