Very delicious food. We didn't have a reservation and staff was very friendly and helped get us a table outside on a beautiful day. We travel to UVA quite frequently for my daughter and plan to eat here again.

We took our family here for an impromptu brunch during the week. There was no wait and the staff were very friendly, helpful, and efficient. The atmosphere is cool with an old federal architecture vibe and definitely gives you that historical Charlottesville feel while also being modern/sophisticated. The food was fantastic. You can’t go wrong here!Kid-friendliness: The staff and restaurant are easy for those with small children. Very accommodating and plenty of space for high chairs/strollers without interrupting other guests.

Best breakfast in town. Eggs Benedict recommended. Situated in a beautiful old brick home near UVa Hospital. Reservations advised. Parking very scarce.

Excellent food and service. I had the ”Bayou Bowl" of andouille sausage and cheesy eggs over grits. Super tasty without being overloaded with competing flavours, which is often an issue to me (more is not better!) I also enjoyed an apple salad (apple slices, blue cheese, spinach, arugula, candied walnut pieces) and an iced coffee (their own blend) with chai syrup.Parking: I parked around the corner in a 2-hour parking zone.

Food was okay. Crab Cake Benedict was practically inedible from how fishy the taste was. Prices are rather high for the portion sizes. We asked the waiter at the beginning of the meal about an appetizer containing egg for a food allergy in our party and they never answered our question.

We were really excited to try this restaurant. The food options looked amazing. Waitress was very kind.We ordered a Bloody Mary and a Mimosa. The Bloody Mary came with all my favorite toppings (bacon, shrimp)and looked amazing. It was not. I was very tasteless, like watered down tomato juice.I ordered Ofelia Benedict as I love eggs Benedict. It was also completely tasteless. So bland with no seasoning at all.I also tasted the cheese grits. They were like water.The restaurant has so much potential, but the food has no love in it.

Went to Farm Bell for a business breakfast and it was very good. The service was excellent, the coffee fine, and the Belgian Waffle I had was great. The building is really interesting too - I'd go back.

Really loved the cappuccino and breakfast tacos with hash browns..beware of the hot sauce! A little dab will do..do not pour, just dab. Really hot, really good!

I went for Sunday brunch with my sister and a good friend. We had a reservation for 11:30 a.m. We ate and drank cocktails. At around 1:05 p.m., the "manager" (definitely not a server) came by to let us know that reservations have a two-hour time limit and that we would need to leave in five minutes, due to another party that needed to be seated. We had no previous warning and still had close to half a carafe of peach bellini to finish. We hurried out within the five minutes only to realize that our reservation was at 11:30 and we were asked to leave 20 minutes prior to the two-hour time limit. It was such an incredibly rude way to treat customers that had spent a good amount of money on brunch. What is really sad is that we stood outside the restaurant chatting and realized that no one was being seated because the restaurant closes at 2 p.m. This feels like we weren't welcome at Farm Bell Kitchen, like they wanted us to leave. I sincerely hope it wasn't because two of the three people in our party are African-American...one has to wonder. I don't think I will have brunch at Farm Bell Kitchen again. I can't remember a time when I was treated with such rudeness and disrespect.*Our server was lovely and wasn't a part of this interaction at all.

I have a tumor in my brain. But, the pork belly biscuit sliders just might be the cure because my mind was blown. Good stuff all around. Ofelia’s Benedict & Banana Foster French toast for the win. Extra points for coffee that tasted good but didn’t make my heart start playing house music in my chest.Shout out to our server Min.

Cute restaurant, great-tasting and creative breakfast food. Staff seemed distracted and inattentive to the point I'm confident I could have walked out without paying, and the lack of soap in their one bathroom makes me question how clean employees' hands are. But overall, I'd recommend it.
