I love Charlottesville’s coffee shops (archived: 2015).
The Downtown Mall’s Mudhouse (archived: 2012) is open again and … In a word, it’s sweet.

First, they closed for renovations. But not entirely … they brought back the coffee cart. (anyone remember that?)

I highly recommend stopping in and checking out the space.
