44 Best Cafes near Glen Allen

“Just randomly found this place and was pleasantly surprised! Food was great and Greg the owner is super friendly! We got the Chicken Caesar Wrap and the Philly Chicken Wrap. The food was fresh and made to order right in front of us and it was delicious! I highly recommend this place and I will definitely be back. We also got the Lavender Lemonade and it was awesome as well! Give it a try you won’t be disappointed!“

“Perfect performance venue with the best audience on the planet.“

“The customer service was outstanding.“

“It’s incredible...probably the best Indian food in Richmond. Maybe some of the best...period. Chicken 65 and butter chicken are insanely good.“

“Best Panera in the 804 hands down. The best service in town. If you want fire a Mac and cheese, bacon turkey bravo, or even a meddie veggie sandwich they will DELIVER. they put the ATE in 804. Addy and Rosa are the best. They provide quick and kind service!“

“I had a good experience overall at this Panera. Service was prompt and efficient, and the dining area was being kept in great shape—everything looked well-maintained.

I did take one star off because the atmosphere felt a bit impersonal. There was no greeting when I walked in, which set a colder tone. Also, the bathroom needed attention; there were paper towels on the floor and it didn’t feel as clean as the rest of the restaurant.

Still, solid service and a well-kept space. I’d return.“

“There is a wide variety of choices. Sandwiches, soups, salads, a children's menu. There was no wait time. We ordered grilled cheese sandwiches. The kids had turkey and cheese sandwiches and yogurt
.We searched for Panera bread because we were tired of eating fast food“

“Best place in RVA for Breakfast“

“This was my favorite food in Richmond for breakfast/lunch. The people are friendly and patient with questions. The space is warm and inviting, but room for quiet work or reading too. And OMG! the food. I ordered it 3x in 5 days, including some to take home. Don’t miss this gem!“

“Front counter staff is friendly and quick and if you've been there, you've likely met the owner, Olaf. He takes great care of his guests. The place is super clean with tons of seating. Clearly, everyone has found out about it because it's busier every time I go—and I almost always run into someone I know. But there's still plenty of seating. High-quality coffee and food, great atmosphere, and you're supporting a local small business.“

“What's not to love about Stir Crazy? It's the ideal coffee shop. Nice, friendly neighborhood sort of place on MacArthur, very popular with all ages and for good reasons. The best thing about the place is the staff, they are just the greatest, every single one of them. I can't say enough good things about them. I'm a retired old fogey and I go there a lot; I am very comfortable there.“

“One of the warmest coffee shops with amazing staff - but the coffee is the real showcase. Incredible!“

“Four years later: still always amazing!!! Croissants are fantastic, authentic, and HUGE. We love everything we've tried so far and we've tried almost everything. So fresh and tasty and great flavors! Pro tip: order ahead online 48hrs and skip the line! Call ahead if you want to know what the seasonal options are. And grab a quiche for a delicious and easy family dinner.“

“I highly recommend Front Porch for those who are gluten free. I am extremely sensitive and I had no issues. The GF bread was normal size! The Reuben was yummy, the potato salad was delicious and creamy, and the pound cake was so so good!!“

“I order from Sidewalk a lot. I have lived across the street for 50 years and my grandson orders and picks up for me. I love the Chicken Quesadillas , the ceasar salad with the steak on top (very tender) and the club sandwich with fries the most. But I suggest a little more consistentcey (sp) with the quesadillas, sometimes you get 4 pieces and sometimes only 3, I guess it depends on who's cooking. I don't mind that so much as they are very good, but the salsa is not always fresh. Sometimes it has the bright red color indicating freshness and other times it has a darker almost brown color that is not as enjoyable to eat. I still will order but just check the salsa. Thank you. Very popular and good restaurant otherwise for years.“

“Best BLT I’ve ever had staff is super friendly and service was quick and amazing 10/10“

“My favorite is the salmon Paninis! The environment is relaxing, and calm.“

“My best friend and I scheduled an afternoon tea to celebrate our friendship The Queen’s Library Tea Room was perfectly perfect. The service, food and tea were all amazing. This is a must do in Richmond! We will be back!“

“Always a great experience at Amuse. The bartenders, the drinks, the waitstaff and the food are always top notch. Everyone there takes pride in their work, and they have a great location from which to service and entertain patrons. I had a lamb dish tonight, which was particularly delicious.“

“Delicious! It was a surprise to find the cafe located in a business office park, but it is a perfect spot for local businesses and people who live close by. Chicken salad sandwich was amazing & breakfast muffin with bacon and egg so good time for cake :)“

“Went to grab coffee waited about 15 min for coffee and had to leave it was super slow and lost money .. truly just thought it would be a much quicker experience have never had this issue before but hopefully things will improve“

“The back patio is amazebeans!“

“I had the Atlantic omelette and I was so impressed. It truly had lump crab and lobster in the omelette some omelettes when you deal with seafood are skimpy with the crab and lobster, but hands-down Lulu was one of the best and their omelette was truly well done sometimes omelettes are not cooked all the way through. It was just an amazing experience for me, I was thoroughly impressed. I will be coming back lol 😂 I saw 👀 the chicken and red velvet waffles!“

“I enjoyed a Make Your Own breakfast burrito and iced coffee.“

“Great food, awesome staff.“

“The breakfast menu is HUGE! Very impressed with everything they have to offer. The breakfast quesadilla was amazing, as were the fluffy sweet cream pancakes. We’ll be back for dinner later this week! Thank you for bringing this amazing building back to life.“

“First time at Nate’s today as we were passing through on our way home to NC. OMG the best bagel ever and that’s coming from a Jersey Girl. Can’t wait for the next trip!!!!“

“Attention Tree Nut Allergy patrons: the plain granola they use has WALNUTS in it. This isn’t advertised anywhere. There is a sign—separate from the menu—asking customers to let staff know about any allergies. And, fyi, when I asked the employee if the granola had nuts in it—because I didn’t see the sign on the counter asking me to notify them of my allergy, because the menu is above the counter—the employee wasn’t sure. This prompted me to check the bag of granola they were using.

I know allergies are a drag, especially for those of us that suffer from them, but this business is in a shopping center where a lot of kids frequent. I feel like using a granola with walnuts in it without bringing more attention to it is playing with fire.

Otherwise, the smoothie and customer service were great!“

“The food is always delicious and the staff is super friendly!“

“Service a bit slow but food was excellent and coffee charged our day!“

“Great, year-round market!“

“I normally don't do ratings. I'm not a coffee drinker but I'm hooked. The best people you will ever meet.. Thank you Jamie and Starr.. Starbucks get out the way FoodiO is on your coattail.“

“First time eating at First Watch and it was a great lunch.“

“I will turn 75 years old on Monday, Dec. 21, 2020. All I want for my birthday is some of the delicious pub grub from The Cask Cafe, and a growler or two of selections from the world’s (and Richmond’s) greatest brews. Unfortunately, this will be via touch-free curbside pickup. I’d much rather sit at the bar and chat about the role of diacetyl in English pub bitters, or the varieties of Bohemian or Moravian hops available in commercial Czech lagers...but not this year. The cask is Richmond’s best bar for real beer afficionados, IMHO. DAN MOUER“

“Yum! Their Blanchard coffee selection is yummy. I've only tried 3 drinks, so I'm still choosing a favorite. From the pastry side, great options--muffins are tasty and the sweet potato biscuits are definitely on point. Finally, the ability to eat a panini outside in a courtyard...priceless.“

“And great mimosas! Also a nice patio to enjoy the day.“

“I recently organized a couple of catering orders from The Smoky Mug, and it was an exceptional experience, largely thanks to Dan’s superb accommodations and friendliness. The catering itself exceeded expectations. I highly recommend The Smoky Mug for their top notch BBQ, and kudos to Dan for making our events a resounding success!“

“I have not used Fodrey Catering as of yet, but I can attest to the Jamie’s character and that of her staff. We appreciate how she goes above and beyond to communicate and build a relationship with her customers to understand their needs! Thank you, Jamie!

“Absolutely love this place, recommend 10 out of 10.“

“I do not recommend. I want to shop small but this place is not it. Very slow service.“

“Took my German client to this amazing restaurant and she was blissful! I’ve been many times and try to share this phenomenal dining experience with others whenever possible. High quality ingredients, all dishes are made to order and fresh and hot and delicious, generous portions and the bread is to die for! The server was delightful and so was the gentleman running the front. I can’t say enough good things! Go, enjoy!“

“Healthy options, clean atmosphere and friendly employees! I always know I can get fresh and yummy food for me and my family!!!“

“I love this Café! Everything is so fresh and sold a price.“
