I came here for the first time and for a Disney Drag Brunch ! And let me tell you breakfast wasn’t the only thing I was being served ! All of the performers were serving us Hades from Hercules, Prince Naveen of Maldonia ( Princess and the frog ) (My fav Disney cartoon & princess) , Cheetah Girls , Beauty and the Beast🥀! I mean the entire performance was amazing ! The food was too delicious as well ! I got the breakfast sandwich topped with eggs, tempeh...

Only place in Richmond I’ve seen dosas available and that’s what I go here for. If you haven’t had dosa before you should try it. And it’s a cute comfy cafe vibe as well.

Love love Gold Lion Cafe. This is my favorite spot in town. They create a safe space and offer lots of community events for people to get involved. The vibe is cozy and I love seeing the local art. Food is a great intro to Indian food for me and there's a lot of nice vegan options and some gluten free options. Chai is top tier.
