Crema's Take
“The paffles—crispy, puff pastry waffles that are somehow both light and indulgent—are the real draw here, whether you top them with Nashville chicken or go sweet with pastry cream. The coffee is solid and traditional, but this is really a breakfast-focused spot where the friendly staff and relaxed vibe make it perfect for lingering over a leisurely meal with friends or family. If you're in Charlottesville craving something beyond typical diner fare, this hole-in-the-wall punches above its weight.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

See all on Google →Such a great recommendation from my mom! They can make pretty much everything on the menu vegan and boy, was it all tasty!! We got the lavender mocha, the Nashville Hot, a breakfast paffle, hash browns, and mac n cheese - all vegan and so delish!!
Vegan friendly! Seriously delicious and unique food. I love this paffle idea. Lots of vegan options that do not disappoint. So yummy! Highly recommend and will be back.

Fun little hole in the wall restaurant. Had a vegan breakfast sandwich with scrambled tofu and tempeh bacon; was delicious! (I’m not vegan… just sounded like a good sandwich.) A bit messy to eat by hand so I forked it.
First visit, absolutely delicious. Nashville Chicken Paffle, a tofu option as well. The team down here is crushing it, and I don't even like waffles but it was oh soooop good, a nice fluffy and slightly crisp waffle. If you never been, it's an absolute must try. You won't be…
My husband and I went here for the first time today and loved everything about the experience! The food is delicious and fairly priced, the atmosphere is chill, and the staff members are inviting. Amanda, the manager, is knowledgeable about the menu and an absolute delight. I…
