On my way out of Richmond, VA, I had the option to grab coffee from Wawa or Sheetz, but I decided to try a local roast instead — and I'm so glad I did! The place was lively, full of fellow coffee enthusiasts, and I enjoyed an everything bagel along with my dark chocolate mocha — absolutely divine. It really set the tone for a great start to my travels. If you're ever in Richmond, definitely hit up this spot; it's a real local favorite!

Frequently busy but easy to walk to a nearby park to enjoy your beverage/snack if the seats are full.

I’m from out of town, but EVERY time I visit my friends in Richmond, I require a visit here. I love the different seasonal drink offerings, and most recently I ordered a strawberry matcha which was absolutely incredible. Great bagels and sandwiches too, and you’re always greeted by friendly faces. 💜

Sorry but had very high expectations here because of several friends that have gone here and said great things. We walked in none of the staff said hello(just stared at us). We went to the front to order and said we had never been here before. All we got were what do you want and what size with a monotone voice. The male that made the coffee finished and we said thank you. He turned his back to us and said yeah. The coffee was good, but the customer service today needs to be addressed.

This is the best coffee shop in Richmond, hands down. I've been living in Richmond for a year now, and this place has meant a lot to me. Everyone is so friendly and nice, has been very kind when I am having tough days. Also the best coffee, and great music playing!

Good coffee and chill vibe.
I just got a drip coffee. They had a decent selction and it was one of the better drips I have had in a while. They had a large selection of spectialty drinks that looked good.

Their fall specialty coffee was so yummy that we came back the next day. I ordered the Apple Spice Chai Latte with oatmilk and it was the perfect drink for the fall weather. The Salty Pumpkin Shaken espresso was delicious, and the Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Latter was divine. The staff was friendly and quick both visits, even when the line was out the door.
The drip coffee was fresh. The allstar sandwhich was so good, and the cinnamon roll was on point!. After sitting down with my meal, one of the employees (assuming the manager) came over and spoke w/me. She was so helpful and friendly and even allowed me to try rhe different drip coffee flavors no extra charge. And lastly the atmosphere was cozy, and as I looked around I loved the decor more and more. Will definitly make a return !

Riverbend Roastery is a super chill coffee shop with wonderful espresso. There is a lot of indoor seating, and there is also a small amount of outdoor seating. The pastries are also pretty good.
If you are looking for a place to get great espresso, meet up with friends, study, or do work, Riverbend is a great option.

I'm genuinely very confused by the sheer number of 5 star reviews here. Every time I get any of the specialty drinks from Riverbend, I can taste nothing but synthetic sugary syrup with no discernable flavor. It's just a cup of flavorless high fructose corn syrup, and that's exactly what it tastes like. The pumpkin latte is just AWFUL, y'all. Like, there's not the slightest hint of pumpkin in this. I want to support a local coffee shop and everyone is always so nice, but I literally could not finish this drink. For almost $20 for two lattes, it's just kind of inexcusable.
