Cumbre Bakery — Restaurant in Charlottesville

Best coffee shop in Charlottesville. One of the ways I rate a coffee shop is their black brew coffee and a mocha latte. The black coffee is smooth, no burnt after taste. The mocha latte aka submarino w/espresso is wonderful, it's not too sweet! I don't like super sweet things and this was perfect.

Don't forget to try their delicious pastry items and empanadas! The cheese and onion empanada is delicious along with the quince medialuna and alfajor. All very tasty!

We talked with the employees about Soccer and just had a really nice time. My husband described it as a “haven.” A new...

I grew up in Argentina making, smelling and, most importantly, eating empanadas. Cumbre’s are the best, hands down, empanadas tucumanas I have ever tasted. The dough is beautiful, thin and flavorful. Tried the cheese and onion, and a bite from my husband’s chicken empanada. Both delicious. We looked at the tray in the warming oven and at each other and knew we could devour a dozen on our own…which we will do very soon. The coffee is powerful and the match a real treat. The business has a mission too! They send money to Tucumán in Argentina, to feed schoolchildren there, where the need is great right now. Thanks to the owners and everyone who works there, for making this Argentine proud with their dedication to quality and humanity. We’ll be...
