Para Coffee

Shenandoah's Joe's coffee, Albemarle Baking Company treats, and Charlottesville Cupcake on Wednesdays at 1pm at this cozy, light-filled coffee house on Elliewood. Free Wi-Fi, too.

THE DISH- Para nosotros: Coffee mission opens on Elliewood

The name Para, owner Eric Kelly (pictured) explains, is Spanish for 'for,'€ as in 'this is for you,'€ though the Spanish meaning indicates purpose or intent, such as Es hecho para ninos (It is made for children. It is made to be used by children). “It means something for an intended purpose,€ Kelly explains, which in Para's case, he hopes, will be directing some of the cafe€™s spoils back into to the community.
