10 Best Cafes in Midlothian

“I just visited this cafe today and I had a great time! I haven't played many board games since childhood Monopoly battles to the death, but today I learned to play two I had never heard of. The staff were friendly, personable, and knowledgeable, able to suggest games and show us how to play. You can order from a modest selection of food and drinks (including alcohol), but it's really about the games. What a brilliant idea!“

“Friendly Staff. The best teas that I have had I could drink one every day and the mochi doughnuts are delicious,with a wide variety of unique flavors!“

“Kip and her ladies are the most incredible people. We are a military family stationed here in Virginia, and while our time here was short, we will always remember the amazing experience we had here at Tea with Kip. The teas and food were delicious, and the tea shop itself is a feast for the eyes. Absolutely stunning decor and cute little gift shop area. You can feel the love and welcoming spirit from everyone working there. And as always, Kip praises our Lord in everything she does. I made sure to make a stop in her prayer closet and make a few prayers myself 🕊️ If you are looking to enjoy tea with some of the best people in Virginia, please make sure Tea with Kip is your #1 spot 🫖“

“Parking sure was easy to find for Coal Mine Coffee and Sweets!

We pulled right up to the front door and parked in a marked spot, for patrons only.

As soon as we entered, the owner greeted us warmly and quickly from the counter. She seated us in a booth, tucked away from the front door.

On the way in, we noticed bagged coffees and tumblers for sale.
It’s a cozy little cafe, with an espresso machine and kitchen to the left of the restaurant.

My husband is the one with a good eye. When he was cruising the menu, he noticed that they served a chocolate chip muffin.
He remembered how much I said I loved those back in college, so my mind was set!

Our server was the cafe owner, and she was friendly and took the time to discuss the menu with us. We appreciated her attentiveness. She walked us through the menu.

When she served my chocolate chip muffin, I was over the moon. Not only did it look the way I had hoped, it was warmed through and through! Melted chocolate chip goodness, here I come.

My husband’s brownie also boasted chocolate chips. It did not disappoint in that category. This brownie had a dense, rich texture, almost like a flourless cake.

As for our beverages, a large home brewed sweet tea was my husband’s pick. How refreshing it was! Not to overpower the chocolate muffin, I opted for a vanilla latte.

It was a smooth, creamy latte and perfect for an afternoon inside.

We enjoyed our trip to Coal Mine Coffee & Sweets! We’d like to go back and try something from the breakfast or lunch menu.

We know we’ll get a great parking spot!

Parking: Parking spots are labeled right out front of the shop. There are 4 or 5 of those. I didn't check, but I bet there is some overflow parking, since there are so many cute shops there.“

“Clean, fast cashiers, and everthing you need, plus more“

“First Watch is now our favorite breakfast place to go. It was really bad years ago as far as time to serve. It was so bad we would drive to the one in west end and still be done sooner. After they removed the manager and automated the ordering system, we now give it an A+.“

“Better than Ihop !! Clean and amazing service“

“Great experience overall, but what made it special was being served by one of the employees, her name was Maria. We went close to closing time and she was energetic and very welcoming. We had a fun conversation while she went about her normal tasks, and I'd just like to recognize her for the exceptional service.“

“problery the best tomato soup i have had“
