Mel’s Cafe

Editor’s Note: The beloved Mel’s Cafe on West Main permanently closed in the Summer of 2024.

Mel’s Cafe is a casual eatery with various breakfast options, sandwiches, and BBQ and fried chicken. At the same time, the restaurant provides customers with a warm, low-key space. Stop by this local spot on West Main Street when visiting the Downtown Mall or simply for a bite of authentic Charlottesville!
