Virginia Row
Quiet corner worth loving
A slower stretch of storefronts and sidewalks, Virginia Row is tucked just off the main drag at the corner of Virginia Ave and Rosedale Dr. Often compared to "Stars Hollow" from Gilmore Girls, this peaceful corner feels especially magical beneath the changing leaves each fall. With easy street parking, wide sidewalks, and a relaxed rhythm, it's the kind of place visitors love to stumble upon.
At the cornerstone of the block is Ash Coffee, the colorful café that's helped transform Virginia Row into one of the neighborhood's favorite hidden gems. Inspired by its sister shop, The Junkman's Daughter in Little Five Points, the space is equal parts coffee shop and curated gift boutique. Sip on their famous Vietnamese Egg Coffee, savor fresh pastries from local bakers, and browse shelves stocked with tote bags, greeting cards, cat-themed gifts, and plenty of delightfully unexpected finds. The bright, eclectic atmosphere invites you to settle in and stay awhile.
Just a few doors down, Ztunes Music Studio offers private music lessons for students of all ages and skill levels. From piano and guitar to drums, voice, and more, experienced instructors help beginners build confidence while giving seasoned musicians room to grow. Students might even get to perform at a local festival, like Porchfest or Winterfest.
Virginia Row may be one of the district's quietest blocks, but that's exactly its charm. Unhurried, welcoming, and full of local character.
