🥹 We are beyond ecstatic and honored to win this award. So many amazing restaurants & cafes engaged this year and we are always blown away by the level of talent that the RVA food scene possesses- and this contest just showcased so much of the local magic going into recipes and the community. There are truly oodles of deserving winners.

🍅 We are genuinely thrilled to call attention to the deliciousness that unlikely ingredients can demonstrate when creatively utilized in dessert offerings. While we use Duke's mayo in a lot of our savory items, we wanted to show up to this contest in true sugary Coco fashion.

🙏 Since taking over the business last September, we've worked really hard to make C+H a warm place for our community to work, relax, and celebrate. We want to thank all of RVA for supporting our little woman-owned spot- but most especially want to thank our FABULOUS C+H staff who tirelessly show up every day to bring a smile to our customers' faces.
