This is a really special restaurant & community space. We loved the Indian dishes and creative drinks. Want to come back and try everything on the menu.

They were setting up for a swing dance lesson as we picked up our food! A few tables in the bar area for dining in. Many vegan options.

Loved the food and the vibe. So much more than a coffee place. Recommend it highly

Went with a friend and ordered a T.L.T. Witj a mango smoothie and it was so delicious. It’s a small and cute cafe and will have to come back and bring Hubs to try more items. Absolutely loved it! #Veganuary

I’d recommend the Masala Bagel, it was unique and delicious! I can’t wait to come back and try their dosas. Their lunch menu also has a lot of interesting options

Best latte I’ve had in RVA in a long time. I wasn’t sure what to expect but my latte was super creamy and ultra smooth. I will 1000% be back.

Eclectic. Vegetarian. Fun music in the am.
Vegetarian options: The DUKE is a great avocado toast item. Whole avocados. Had it with egg.
This is one of my new favorites in Richmond! The food is varied and yummy, the coffee is delicious, and the atmosphere can't be beat! I've been the Gold Lion for multiple community events and I appreciate the space they've built for different groups. The service is always delightful and attentive.
Vegetarian options: Vegetarian and vegan options galore!

Being vegan is whole lot easier with Gold Lion in my life ?. My favorites are the Keema Samosa and Butter “Chicken” curry. They also have the best chai in town. PLUS the owners are great humans who give back to the southside and RVA communities. I love this place ?
Vegetarian options: Vegan options available too.

We hired Gold Lion to cater the rehearsal lunch for our wedding and we are so glad we did! They worked with us to help create a menu within our budget that was delicious and varied. The food was delivered promptly, warm, and fresh to ALL 50 of our guests. And Gold Lion also did a great job labeling different food allergens to accommodate all of our guests. We would absolutely work with Gold Lion again!
