★★★☆☆ 3.0 Food Lover · Jan 2026

The apple pie and gingerbread ice cream flavors were both really good. The place itself is nicely decorated with a fun retro style, and it’s a cute spot downtown.

I have grown up here in Charlottesville and so had my boyfriend. Chaps has been one of our favorite places to go from day 1 with each other!! The service is always so kind and top notch!! Their new gingerbread flavor is amazing!!!

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Nancy · Jul 2024

I found the ice cream quite enjoyable, if not for the large pieces of ice in it. The cherry vanilla and black raspberry flavours were particularly delicious and creamy. During our visit, it was not busy. The staff seemed to be idle behind the counter and could have been more proactive. The establishment was dirty; the table and seating were full of used napkins and waffle cone debris, and there were no napkins at the tables, which was a bit disappointing.
