“Sunday happy hours 5-6pm for selected desserts at the counter! The waiter was sweet to recommend us to switch from the original to the chocolate croissant. We also bought an almond blueberry scone with a slice of sugar powdered brownie. They're delicious, it's just that the scone didn't fit my taste as much.Highly recommend some of the pins there with funny taglines (Eat the Rich, anybody?) and nice old time cartoon stickers for $3. It's a nice little shop at Carytown, don't miss it for afternoon tea.“
“Brick Road Coffee Company is awesome! My wife and I really wanted a a place with character that we could sit and enjoy really good coffee. And wonderfully unexpected was that they had good gluten free bread, and their breakfast sandwiches are among the best we’ve found.This is also a great place to do a Bible study,Enjoy time with friends, read a good book, or just sit and enjoy the fantastic aesthetic!Dietary restrictions: Fantastic gluten free bread and dairy free options.Wheelchair accessibility: They have a ramp up to the main entrance and handicap parking.“
“First let me say that I lived in Europe for two years and have had quite a few amazing croissants...but nothing like this place. The chocolate almond croissant from Sub Rosa is the best one I've ever had..period. Also, the ham and cheese croissant and the tart was incredible. We heard about how fast they sell out so we ordered a few days ahead of our trip. I'd recommend doing the same if you want to guarantee you'll get what you want. Seriously, if you find yourself down here, plan to make a stop, you will not be disappointed.“
“What a start to our Richmond trip! Ordered the Rosemary Sea Salt bagel egg & cheese, salsa verde egg & cheese kolache (their specialty), and a brown sugar Rosemary Sea salt iced latte (lightly sweetened). Everything was fantastic and freshly made! Kolach is a stuffed Czech/Slovak pastry which was unique and a great blend of sweet/savory. Zack, the owner was incredibly hospitable!“
“Always a fantastic experience every time I’ve been here. The environment is incredibly welcoming as is the FOH staff. I’ve had several coffee drinks, which were stellar and I’ve dined in twice each time exceeding expectations in the food preparation and presentation.“
“I love this cute cafe!! I've now been there twice for coffee and while I have had to wait a bit, I've been really happy with my experiences there. I have gotten the iced peppermint mocha both times and it was perfect. The breakfast burrito was so flavorful and filling that it was more than worth the $7 price tag. I've also had a bagel and blue berry muffin and they were lovely. Excited to live pretty close to there and stop in to do work one afternoon at a table or catch up with a friend there.“
“The ice cream is delicious and I highly recommend it! There were a variety of flavors including gluten-free and vegan options. Additionally they changed scoop to avoid cross contaminations for those with celiac disease. The outdoor benches were also perfect seating for the sunny day!“
“I am always happy to support local business, especially women-owned ones, and this one is no exception! As you enter, you are greeted with the most cheerful and positive greeting and it just shows how much everyone enjoys working there.There are many drink and food options all of which are very affordable. I was especially happy about the many vegetarian and vegan options.This place is a whole vibe and I can’t wait to come back and try other items on the menu.Dietary restrictions: Vegan options“
“My niece and I first stopped by Bell Greek for lunch while in town visiting my mom in the hospital. We were treated very well. The following week we were in need of a last minute catering for my mom’s service and we immediately thought of Bell Greek. They were able to fulfill our order with a quick turnaround. They delivered our food on time to the church and set up everything for us. Everyone raved about the food. It was absolutely delicious. Next time we’re in VA, we’ll definitely be making a stop in again.“
“Love the atmosphere of this coffee roaster. The old brick building has been beautifully redone. The seating areas and cozy and welcoming for hanging out or sitting quietly for work or reading.I had a lavender oat milk latte. The lavender was not a syrup, just the flavor of lavender, which was so delicious! Way too many places go so sweet and it takes over the flavor, but this was so perfect!“
“Maybe kind of a generic college town coffee house, but when the formula works don't change it. I loved the mid 2000s coffee house feel, the solid but delicious beverage options, and the communal tables. What I didn't like was the service, which was slow despite there being not a lot of business. Not gonna say don't go, I'm assuming the barrista was just distracted that day.“
“Went twice this week. First visit was excellent with great service. They rolled out the guacamole cart and made it right in front of us. Food was very good and reasonably priced. The second visit had slow service, no guacamole cart. The food was still good. The Mojito was very good.“
“We were passing through and saw chewys had a 4.6/5 star review on Google. Our expectations were high going into our meal and they were surpassed. I got the breakfast sammy with bacon jam on an everything bagel and they knocked it out of the park. Sweet, salty, warm, chewy. 5/5 and well deserved. This was a great way to kick off our 10 hour drive. Thanks and we will be back someday!“
“The service is top notch at FP. I got to taste three different types of iced black teas because the staff want to make sure I pick my favorite. I also got an apple turnover that tasted quite good. Despite the store being a little pricey, it has charging outlets available on the wall. So many people brought their laptops to chill and work here. It also has a free public restroom that's comfortable and very clean. Highly recommend working here, I'd definitely come back here if I'm around the area.I hope the staff can be more proactive to shut the doors because it was really windy that day, and it became chilly indoors.“
“Ok . I am a New Yorker. It is in my blood - we think we know more about pizza than anyone. An unbearable burden to carry.:) None the less my wife and I made our way to pizza bones . Very nice local neighborhood spot has kind of an outdoor theme however you can down inside but it’s limited. Staff is super friendly. Placed an order for garlic bread and a pizza for my wife and I to share half pepperoni service recently, considering the only two people on shift first let me say that cheesy bread were extremely good garlic, super cheesy crust very tasty. The pizza was excellent love the crust fresh tomatoes, Gucci gooey cheese. I think this pizza is better than Xorge or Cary Street and that’s a hard crowd to beat you go $14 for a midsize prize not a bad price serves to make sure you get the cheesy bread.“
“My little sister took me here while I was visiting her for a day. I tried the Gold Rush, and it was undoubtedly one of the best ice creams I've ever had. We bought two pints for the road. I had a chance to talk to Westray as well; he was very kind and patient answering all our questions. I would highly recommend if anyone is in Richmond.“
“I was passing through Richmond and decided to stop in for breakfast. I got the daily special biscuit which was the cheddar biscuit with chicken and bacon. Everything was fresh and delicious. Price was okay and the service was good. No complaints here.“
“A delightful coffee shop in the West End. I came once many years ago and it's only gotten better. I'm not a coffee drinker so I actually got a hot chocolate, but they have lots of espresso flavors and it's clear they take coffee very seriously. I did get an apple turnover, which was delicious! Perfectly flaky and full of apple filling. There's lots of indoor and outdoor seating for the space, and it's clear that they have some very loyal regulars. Overall it's a very cozy space, and I'm excited to come back and try some more things from the menu next time!Parking: There's a good amount of parking here that's shared with the other businesses in this shopping center.“
“I consider myself a croissant snob. I love to try new bakeries all the time so I can try their croissants. The croissants from this place were some of the best I’ve ever had. There was quite a line to wait in but I’d say it was worth it. They also have coffee which I think is another big draw to this place.“
“I am so so picky about coffee, and this is one of my all time favorites…definitely the best coffee in Richmond by FAR imo. Coffee is just deep and rich and so good! Atmosphere is clean and bright and staff is friendly and talented. We keep coming back !“
“Little hefty on the price until you try and bite into it. TON of meat on the Soprano, they know how to make a real sandwich. The sesame sub roll was perfect and the hot relish was the right amount of heat. Id eat lunch here everyday if I could. I'd love to see some kind of drink, chip, half sandwich type lunch deal. Not much seating but you don't feel the need for it. Its a modern neighborhood deli type feel. Sandwiches, soups, friendly staff, great spot near VCU. They said 15 minutes, by the time i showed up 10 minutes later it was ready to go. This has crazy potential and the owners seem to have the passion for their business and strive to improve. Can't wait to try the menu“
“I used to come here almost every day while I was at VCU and lived down the street. It was one of my favorite places in the neighborhood. I just went back for the first time in 15 years (after moving away from RVA). It's so nice to see that this lovely place is still here.I don't normally notice much difference in drip coffee (it's either good or bad... strong or weak basically) but the one they serve there is noticeably excellent and some of the best I've ever had.The prices are super reasonable. Stefa and Katherine served me and my friend. They were friendly, helpful and patient.Really nice to meet the owner, Quillin. I hope she's proud of her much deserved (and hopefully continued) success and contribution to local culture.Great vibe, kind people, cool art, good music, interesting stuff to read... places like this make Richmond the city it is.:)“
“Review based on DoorDash delivery Corned Beef Hash Sammie: Corned Beef, Cheddar Cheese, Egg, Hash Browns, Lou's Special Sauce, on a soft roll 5 for $12.65 Original Breakfast Sandwich: Bacon, Ham with Egg, American Cheese, Hash Browns, Lou's Special Sauce, on Dutch crunch bread“
“This place was recommended by our AirB&B host and it was so good we will be going back before we leave! Between the coffee, food, juice and the atmosphere this place has 12/10 vibes, I tried the Black is Beautiful juice, croissant sandwich, and the breakfast burrito!“
“I LOVE this place, however, not just because of the coffee (try the lavender iced chai! My Favorite! It’s almost dangerous…!) The service is amazing and it’s always clean. I can’t the same for some places in Richmond…The employees are always so attentive and friendly! The barista that helps me most often is this dark haired girl with glasses. She’s so sweet and hardworking. And always makes my drink the best. I almost only go there just see her, she’s that great!Thanks, Krim!“
“I have been coming to this boba tea spot for over 17 years since before boba even became popular! The owner is the person thats actually making the drinks. Many flavors to choose from and its consistently good. I've tried all the boba spots in Richmond and this is by far the best one!Dietary restrictions: Lots of dairy-free milk options!“
“It was very nice. Very different vibes from the other cafés in Richmond. I love the idea of using real teacups vs the plastic cups. The atmosphere was super warm and cozy. The drinks were super affordable.I was basic and ordered a latte with a chocolate croissant.The staff was nice though english wasn't their first language. They mainly spoke French and Spanish. I didn't mind. They were very kind and attentive. They only accepted cash. No cards.Only thing, i disliked was the staff touched my food without gloves or tongs.“
“Great local, neighborhood café with cozy atmosphere, warm service, and even cozier food. Try a meat, egg, and cheese bagel—my favorite is chorizo; it comes as a layer of spicy sausage crumble. The coffee & espresso are great, and the café is always clean. Excellent place to bring family, friends, and/or coworkers.“
“I’d share a photo of the Italian beef I got, but I ate it too fast. Slow, SLOOOW cooked beef with giardiniera piled on a hearty sesame bread. I’m going to be thinking about that one for a while.It might cost more than you think a sandwich should cost (if you’re older like me), but the moment you start to eat it, you’ll know you got a deal. Plus it comes with chips. Better than fair.“
“First visit! Stopped in for a midday coffee. Tried the Cherry Pit and Lavender Chai. Such fun, seasonal flavors. The drinks were great. All the booths were full of folks working away on laptops, so nice to know that's an option. Loved all the plants. The huge front windows flooded the store with sunlight and made great mirrors outside to reflect the blue skies and historic buildings nearby. Charming!“
“Love this place! Been coming here for about 15 years. High quality teas, friendly staff, and I like that they write out detailed steeping instructions for each tea. I don't live in the area anymore but they will ship to me for a very cheap, haven't been able to find another place like it anywhere.“
“Popped in to get a bag of Blanchard's whole beans that was gifted to me run through a grinder. The staff was busy but were able to graciously take care of my request. I was in and out with freshly ground beans plus a hot cup of coffee in under 10 minutes, which on a busy Friday morning is totally reasonable.Parking: Parking is a little tight and tricky to navigate when it's a busy morning.“
“Shop here atleast 4—5 days a week... At first it seems to be a bit on the expensive side, but definitely not quite as expensive as Publix but just a tad cheaper. But I soon realized there are a few items underpriced, therefore it became understood the the prices are only costly where absolutely necessary for a small business to succeed in the given circumstances ( area and economy) so if you can I'd advise to please support whenever your in the area if you can ‼️⚠️❕❗“
“I always try to find different coffee shops besides your usual chain ones. I saw this one and came based on the ratings. I almost didn't purchase anything because the prices are on the higher side but I'm glad I did. I got their honey butter chicken biscuit and the seasonal Peppermint Bark Cookie iced latte ( if I have the wording incorrect, my apologies). The biscuits are made in house and I can definitely tell. Hands down, the best chicken biscuit I've ever had. The picture makes it look small but I promise that it was big. Almost too big lol but it was absolutely delicious. The biscuit actually had a sweet taste to it that I was not expecting. The coffee was also really good. I'm a sucker for peppermint mocha so I had to try it. It looked absolutely stunning when I got it, and there was a cookie on top as well! Flavors are very very good, not as sweet as I normally take it, but was perfect as it is. It is definitely pricier here, so if You're not looking to spend a whole lot, this isn't for you. But if your looking for quality, definitely check this place out. I'd recommend this place to eat and for coffee for sure.“
“This is SUCH a cute cafe! Everything about it is wonderful. The food is really good, the tea was delicious, and the staff is so kind and friendly. I got the strawberry almond butter oatmeal and it came in a cup which I didn’t expect, but made total sense. I don’t know how busy they get but when we went it was super busy so some more space would probably help“
“We had a delicious first visit to McLean's.The food was very good overall and timing was very acceptable. My wife expressed that the cheesy grits needed a little more flavor.Our server, I believe her name was Sarah, was very good and attentive. Stopped at the table just often enough to make sure we were good.Will come back if we are in the area again.Parking is in the back near the entrance.“
“The convenience of the location is extremely important to me as I live in Jackson ward. The only thing I can say is be prepared to wait a bit. Not their fault, they're super popular but you aren't popping in for just a quick coffee unless you drink it black. Also, somehow my price is always high but that's on me for always wanting their mozzarella pesto sandwich with my specialty coffee!“
“WPA knocked our birthday cake out of the park. We had to accommodate dairy-free, egg-free, soy-free and gluten-free dietary restrictions and not only was the cake INCREDIBLE, but the service was so good. I emailed my inquiry and got a response quickly. I had a change the week of my order and it was accommodated with a smile. Our birthday girl, who had the dietary restrictions, could not believe that she could really eat the cake. We had one guest day he thought the WPA cake was better than the other one we had that was the same flavor but had gluten, dairy, egg and soy.WPA will now be our go-to bakery. Thank you!I can’t thank WPA Bakery enough for making our birthday cake surprise a huge hit. Thank you!!!!“
“This place has been on my bucket list of places to try for what feels like forever. I'm happy to report it was worth the wait. Lamplighter is busy street corner with a tiny little parking lot in front. They have a separate entrance for you to place your order. When you place your order they ask for your name no additional order number is given. This proved to be a little confusing as there were two Jason's at the same time and they received the wrong drink. I ordered an iced lavender latte, breakfast burrito and a sweet potato muffin. Everything was really good. The breakfast burrito tasted homemade and was accompanied by a fresh salsa that was great. I will flag that this cafe is Vegan friendly as they have several vegan/ vegetarian options on the menu. Overall I really enjoyed my coffee and food and look forward to trying this place out in the future!“
“This is our favorite sweet treat. (Lombardy location) I haven't found any other donut shop with a variety of vegan options. My child has food allergies to eggs and nuts. The employees even placed the vegan donuts in a separate bag/box to prevent cross-contamination. Kudos for the service and the best tasting treats.Vegetarian options: A row of different types of donuts labeled vegan“
“This place is unassuming, but as far as to-go breakfast is concerned, it is much better than I expected. I had probably the best breakfast burrito I have ever had anywhere (I added tomato and avocado to it), the breakfast sandwich on a bagel was pretty good, as was the thai coffee and the latte. One thing was outstanding (the burrito) and the rest were just slightly above average. The online ordering system was convenient as well.“
“As a bartender, I enjoy a good cocktail menu. Was able to try 3 drinks here and they were pretty good. The frozen "Sleigh Ya" was well balanced(I had 2), the Highway To the Manger Zone, a whiskey cocktail, was light and tasty, and the mezcal "Gifts of an Angel" was fairly light for a mezcal drink (in a good way). Would love to come after holidays to see what else they have“
“Small restaurant attached to our hotel (Linden Row Inn). Perfect for late dinner after check in. Excellent service, good cocktails and the food was good as well. Husband loved his Fish and Chips. Two guests had the Smash-burger and said it was a bit dry. Could have used a special sauce. I had the autumn salad with shrimp. It hit the spot. Appetizers were excellent - fried oysters and green tomatoes were great.“
“The veggie and the lox and cream cheese sandwiches will keep us coming back again and again. Although from the constant takeout traffic, there are surely many other delicious offerings. Oh, and the coffee is good too! And the service with a smile and a good word goes a long way too.“
“We visited tonight as we recently discovered how relaxed and inviting Stony Point is. We enjoyed a charcuterie board and drinks and especially the friendly staff. As our dog was watching from the door, they offered to deliver our food outside, then went back for a carafe of water for us. Delicious food and outstanding service, next time we’ll be trying the cheesecake and coffees too.“
“There is street parking around. It's pretty big inside. The display is good. The people who work there have been wonderful. It has been a relaxing spot for me for years.Parking: There is street parkingKid-friendliness: My children loved the cake pops and MadeleineWheelchair accessibility: It's easy to get in as long as someone is holding the door“
“Check the hours before heading over. The shop has free 3 hr street parking outside if you get lucky. The side has a ramp into the shop. We didn't see much of the bakery today, but the ice cream satisfied two kiddies and a grown up(espresso Oreo). There is a restroom for customers only. Quite a few shops on this street didn't have restrooms. The waffle cones are the familiar brand of "Joy". The shop has many seats and tables inside. The view is Byrd Theatre and the cool shop Bygones. I could imagine myself spending a couple of hours enjoying desserts, coffee, bakery,... here.Parking: Free 3 hr street parking if you are luckyKid-friendliness: Kid's size ice creamMy kids love themWheelchair accessibility: The side of the shop has an outdoor ramp up into its side door.“
“Run by amazing staff, have become a regular at this spot. Best chai latte I've found in Richmond so far, As well as they have a wonderful selection of sandwiches. I typically go for the Maymont melt and ask to add sliced beef and have not been disappointed. Always have new latte's and chai based on the season, Only downside is that they are not open on weekends, but other than its amazing!“
“I found this church from what only could have been a sign from God. I was struggling at the time trying to switch job fields to provide for my child as a single mother. One rainy morning, I was on the way to work, replaying my rusty job interview responses that did not result in a job offer. Suddenly, the car in front of me slammed on its brakes. To prevent from hydro planning, I swerved into a turn lane to avoid a collision. I had to turn into Hope's parking lot to reroute back onto Patterson to continue my morning commute to a dead end job. I strongly feel like in this moment, God was leading a lost soul back home. I attended that weekend, and the sermon was everything and more. It completely restructured where I placing my trust and faith with keeping a tight control on my life. I handed it over to him that day, and asked him to reveal his plan. Throughout that week, I heard several people repeat a line I had heard in the sermon the prior Sunday. Everything comes back in a fill circle, just like God's plan. This line kept coming back up in conversations with complete strangers. His plan will be revealed in his own time. It will come back in a full circle, but we will not know, while we are going through it. We just have to trust. One of these moments, occurred at my next job interview and I have been a member with Hope over the past 5 years. It has brought so many blessings since. Now I listen for him to guide me. In addition, they have a wonderful youth program for my son. I met my now spouse and we have a strong faith based relationship where God is the center. The music is amazing. The sermons are very scripture based and provide background context to explain why the bible is written in specific vernacular and the intentional meaning behind it. Things I never was taught growing up in my old church. I just love everything about Hope and agree, they meet you where you are. They are friendly, but not pushy. You can become as involved as you wish, and offer tons of classes and study groups. The pastors tend to rotate during each series. They do each have their own style of preaching and depth, but I recommend giving it 2-3 Sundays to feel it out if you are new, before judging a book by its cover. Not every sermon will hit you and be life changing, but they have a lot of very powerful sermons that have so much depth and leave you wanting more. The only thing is it is a pretty large congregation so it can be hard to get to know the pastors and new faces personally on busy Sundays. I recommend coming to a small group or class and get a chance to speak with them in a smaller setting where's its not as busy. Overall, I can't speak more highly of this home church. It's every thing I had been craving as a young and now older adult. I've grown so much in my faith and very thankful for Hope.“
“The owners are super nice and accommodating, they explain each dish in detail. The food is made to order and super fresh, and came out fast. The food is absolutely amazing, will definitely be back when I’m in the area. The dining area is extremely clean and spacious!“
