Always a consistent, fresh, organic, healthy, and incredibly tasty meal. Went in for a late lunch and got a Super Naan taco and a Mexican Taco (2 tacos). Loved every bite of both. Cannot recommend this place highly enough for a super fresh and healthy lunch. Great service, flavors, and portion size.

Not only do I and my coworkers consider this one of our favorite lunch spots, but we also use their catering services and have never been let down! There is always plenty of food, it's always delicious and everyone is definitely thrilled when they find out it's what they'll be having for lunch. Jessica is quick to respond and always accommodating. Such a pleasure to work with. Recommend without hesitation!

Jessica and her crew at Farmacy have worked with us at UVA Athletics for the last couple of years delivering meals for our athletes. Nothing but great things to say - Farmacy are extremely easy to work with and they are consistently reliable in delivering great quality and tasting food which our athletes love. Definitely a spot to check out if you are in Charlottesville!

Had a wonderful experience with Jessica, her staff, and the Farmacy Cafe. I reached out via e-mail with a myriad of questions, and Jessica was incredibly communicative and responsive. We set up a lunch order for a group of 30. Upon our arrival, the food was ready, hot, and labeled with each name. On top of that, the food was quite tasty. We ate in the courtyard area as there was plenty of seating before a stroll down the mall. I highly recommend working with Jessica and Farmacy Cafe!

My coworker and I worked with Jessica, the owner, to cater our event at the University of Virginia. She was a delight to work with—answering all our questions in a timely manner, providing stellar service at our event, and best of all, delicious food at an affordable price. I would recommend Farmacy for a quick bite or a catered event.
