Awesome spot! I took a day trip from Richmond to Charlottesville in large part to visit Kindness Cafe and it was well worth it. Super warm and positive atmosphere. My berry smoothie and blueberry & lemon bar were both very good and quite reasonably priced. Service was friendly and the food came out super fast! Great opportunity to support the local special needs community.

Nice new sun shaded patio area and open interior cafe space. Indeed a kind place to enjoy a good cup of Joe. Snack items somewhat small, could be beefed up but tasty. A lot too families and healthy folk as located inside the cville YMCA which is impressive.

This cafe is located in a gorgeous, renovated YMCA. The space is so clean and modern, with sidewalk chalk, giant connect four and outdoors seating with shade. The customer service was friendly and fast! I just heard one employee as someone outside if they wanted their “usual” and recited it down how many ice cubes she likes in her iced coffee! I love how they’ve created a welcoming space for everyone here.
Also, the drip coffee was $2.5 for a 12oz. Mudhouse is $3.97 for a 12oz mug that ended up being less than 12oz and no free refills for dine in. Affordable, great coffee perfect for if you’re working out at the Y before or after.

This place is AMAZING! It's the perfect spot to grab a quick cup of joe or hang with friends. The online ordering system is SO easy, and I can just drive right up to grab my order-- no need to even park!

Great coffee, smoothies, treats, and most of all, the people! Perfect place to meet a friend inside or outside under one of their umbrellas. Our kids love the games and sidewalk chalk as well. Kindness Cafe is also peaceful enough to do some tele-work from in the mornings! Couldn’t recommend enough.

Amazing coffee and best customer service in town! This amazing company and non-profit offers opportunities for people with developmental disabilities to have a job and provide kindness throughout! Great place to have a meeting, get together with friends at the YMCA and enjoy a tasty snack with an amazing cup of coffee!!
Kindness Cafe is such a happy, cheerful place to visit. Everyone welcomes you with a smile and makes you feel comfortable, and the drinks and snacks are tasty, too! I particularly enjoyed the iced coffee and frittata the last time I was there. I appreciate that there are gluten free options as well.
Kindness Cafe + Play is my favorite coffee spot in Cville! The staff is friendly and welcoming, and the coffee & goodies are top notch. Not to mention the mission of Kindness is pretty remarkable. Thanks, Kindness Cafe! Will definitely come back again!
