If you’re staying at Carter’s Cottage or just exploring the scenic beauty of Nellysford, VA, there’s a delicious new reason to slow down your morning and savor the start of your day: Belties, the area’s newest breakfast, brunch, and lunch spot — and it’s less than a mile from our front door.

Belties delivers a charming balance of modern comfort and rustic farm vibes. With its fresh design, thoughtful decor, and wide-open seating options (indoor and outdoor), it’s a place where you’ll want to linger a little longer — coffee in hand.

Speaking of coffee: it’s excellent. Whether you’re a pour-over purist or a fan of creamy lattes, their coffee options are top-notch and crafted with care. It’s the perfect fuel for a full day of vineyard hopping, brewery touring, or Blue Ridge Mountain adventuring.

And here’s a fun twist that sets Belties apart — it’s not just the name. They actually have real Belted Galloway cows (yes, the “Oreo” cows) outside that you can pet! It’s the kind of detail that gives this spot its unique charm and keeps guests smiling — kids and adults alike. Greeting the stars of the barn!

The menu is thoughtfully curated, blending brunch staples with local flavor, and it’s ideal for weekend brunching or a casual weekday breakfast. Whether you’re grabbing a bite on your way out to the wineries or soaking in a lazy morning, Belties is the kind of place you’ll want to come back to — again and again.

So next time you’re in Nellysford, make Belties your first stop of the day. Great food, great coffee, adorable cows, and a cozy atmosphere that feels both fresh and familiar — it’s a new local favorite for good reason.
