Charlottesville is a city filled with local-loving people, and a spirit of community and collaboration unlike anywhere else. Every week, Cville Niche will celebrate that spirit by featuring a local’s top picks. Check out previous local check-ins!
Nick Leichtentritt
From latte art throw-downs to creating espresso gelato, Nick – owner and coffee king at Milli Joe – can do it all. In just over a year, Milli has become a staple among the Cville coffee shops, embracing collaboration with local businesses, musicians and artists.

I make good coffee.
Top Picks
A favorite dish in town, what it’s called, where it’s at, describe what makes it special/different/one of your favorites.
Jamon & Manchego- a Mas specialty. Just a plate of fantastic Serrano Ham (jamon) served with some nice Manchego cheese. I always drizzle just a touch of olive oil over the plate and grab a nice glass of red. It’s special because it’s simple. It’s different for the same reason.
A favorite weekly or monthly food special, what’s the special, where’s it at, and why you love it.
5$ steaks at Sedona Taphouse. It’s a little out of the way, but they have hands down the best beer selection in town and when dinner is only 5 bucks, you can justify springing for some of the more pricey craft beers without breaking the bank.
A favorite local artist (any type other than musician), who is it, what type of medium do they use, where was your favorite showing of their art.
Laura Bell, monster-sized canvas, first saw her work at Writer House.
