Cou Cou Rachou
917 Preston Ave Suite B, Charlottesville, VA
Crema's Take
“Cou Cou Rachou is a French bakery in Charlottesville where pastry craftsmanship is genuinely celebrated—think rotating creative beignets and almond croissants that feel like edible works of art. The vibe is unhurried and intentional, with kind service and plenty of outdoor seating that invites you to linger longer than you planned, making it the kind of place regulars keep coming back to.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu.
