50 Best Coffee Shops near Tuckahoe

“Every time I come in the staff are friendly and accommodating, no matter how overwhelmed they may be with the number of cafe and mobile orders. Especially this morning, when a very rude woman accosted the staff for having to wait for her drink. The staff remained polite, and other guests in the store apologized as they picked up their orders. Keep up the good work <3“

“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!“

“Cheesesteaks are delicious! Portion size is amazing for the price. Pricing is really well too. If you go inside to order or on the phone, $9.99 for a loaded cheesesteak is great! Food is always made fresh and well seasoned. We come here often. I enjoy the side patio area on warmer days. The guy that owns the place is so nice and personable. Highly recommend. Check them out!“

“I adore this place so so much. It's all vegan and it's delicious. I couldn't recommend more. I go every time I'm in Richmond. The mac and cheese and the breakfast burritos are outstanding. The lavender oat latte is incredible. Updated from previous review on 2023-02-09“

“We were so excited to hear about this place when it opened up not too long ago, and it has not been disappointment. I can always count on them being friendly when I walk up to the counter, they drinks are reliably good, and there's tons of seating. Owner Olaf manages to greet every person who comes in and he keeps the place spic and span. I can tell he genuinely cares about his customers by how he treats them. It's a perfect spot to study or meet for business and in a great central location. I also like knowing I'm supporting a locally owned small business when I come here! Brick Road Coffee is a home away from home. P.S. The bulk teas they sell in tins are very high quality!“

“When anywhere near Richmond during Sub Rosa's hours you better pull up. But do expect a line when they open until close. This quaint bakery in Church Hill does things the old fashion way with a wood fired oven that makes all the difference in taste.My visit around 8 AM on a Sunday found a challenge to park and a line a block long. I knew I had arrived at the right place. They have been on a try list for a few years. With a flight in a few hours I was a bit nervous, but it all worked out as they are just 10-12 minutes from the airport.The building is an adorable two story with awnings. The neighborhood is one of the oldest in the city adding some charm. However not far is a lot of blight. I felt safe as I finally found my way to their front door after approximately 35 minutes. However you will make friends trust me.The counter of goodies is immediately as you walk in. The place is small but offers a few tables to enjoy your pastry and coffee, they also offer a few tables outside. The brick oven is the hero as employees work hard to pull off trays of bakery items to replenish the depleting cases. They have a policy of only 8 per customer. Larger orders call 48 hours in advance.I decided on a few items like a basic croissant, a chocolate croissant, a crumb cake and something with potatoes. I was eating in, but also taking a box out. So I informed them what was for here and also a cappuccino. It's pricey as the bill with 20% tip was just under $40. The service was friendly at the counter.I did chat with a staff who said their baking process begins by loading the oven with wood and firing around 2 PM for the next day. She jokingly said you would not want to be here it gets real smokey. The restroom in the back was clean.The pastries came out quickly on real plates with real metal utensils. Thank you! The cappuccino took much longer and was mistakenly put in a paper cup which was disappointing. Every single item was tried and magnificently tasty and fresh.I left very satisfied that I supported a local business as well as found such a gem of a bakery to recommend. The visit had one small hiccup that I will ignore for the purposes of their overall composite score of a full 5 stars.Sub Rosa has been in business for 13 years and has always had the same method of making all their bakery items. I will hopefully return this year.Parking: It’s all off street parking.“

“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.“

“About a 3.5: This cute Argentinian bakery serves up some daily-baked pastries. We came here when they had opened, but I think that they were having a slight delay with getting their items out of the oven. I ordered a variety box of: +a Vigilante - with cream, guava, and coconut +a beef empanada +a chicken empanada +a ham, cheese, and pineapple pastry +a Square with sliced green apples I did order a Guava croissant, but didn't receive it in the box; not sure if they charged me for it, since I didn't ask for one (user error!). I also noticed that we didn't receive any sauces (ie, chimichurri) for the empanadas. Not sure if I caught them off-guard or something! The pastries themselves tasted fresh and not too sweet, and I feel like the best time to go is when they're open first thing in the morning; I also feel that their items do sell out quickly. Staff were super friendly, welcoming, and kind. There were plenty of seating inside, and ample parking in this strip plaza lot. +missing items T___T +friendly service! +plenty of parking“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“Absolutely love the bagels here, best bagels in Richmond by far. We get these bagels at least once a week and we are never disappointed for taste. They are super generous with cream cheese too which is nice. Unfortunately we have had hairs in our bagels from time to time which comes with any dining out experience but today our bagels had THREE hairs in one of them.I think the staff needs to start being more serious about tying up hair or simply wearing hair nets.“

“What a cutie gem!! I’m surprised I haven’t heard of this place sooner. My friend and I got the hot honey lavender latte (iced and hot) and her partner got the Ring of Fire(? which is a latte with four whopping shots of espresso, tajin rim, and spicy chocolate I believe). We had a brief but pleasant talk with the barista who was the mastermind of some of these drink creations as well. If you’re strolling around in Carytown, you gotta try that Ring of Fire!!“

“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.“

“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 love the vibe of this place. It's a chill atmosphere with wine, pizza, and picnic tables. My fiancé and I ordered a cheese pizza, and a red sparkling wine based on their helpful suggestion. I really enjoyed the wine. My thoughts on the pizza are as follows. The crust was outstanding. The owner of this place apparently worked at the famous Tartine Bakery and that is reflected in the crust. It tastes more like a crusty mild sourdough loaf than a traditional pizza. The wheat flavors from the high extraction or whole wheat they are using in the dough are present but not overpowering. In the realm of pizza this is definitely a slower bake cooked in their Baker's pride gas oven. My guess is about 10 minutes. What you get a very crispy verging on cracker like consistency in the crust. I prefer a little more delicacy and lightness from a faster high temp bake, but it was still delicious. I was slightly less enthralled with sauce and the cheese combination. The cheese is classic Grande low-moisture mozzarella, no complaints there. Based on the cans I saw the sauce is a DOP San Marzano tomato. It was on the acidic side, and that combined with the tangy Grande cheese did not complement each other very well. I would prefer a naturally sweeter tomato sauce. I also would have liked a little more sauce. All that said, it is still great pizza, and I would be a regular here if I didn't make my own pizza.“

“Found this place on Google and all the reviews were amazing so decided to come out here. And it was even better than expected. I'm not sure I've ever been treated when more kindness than here. And the coffee and food were spectacular. Definitely stop by here if you're in the “

“Diablo Doughnuts are delicious! They have a variety of unique flavors, as well as the standard favorites. The staff is just as awesome as the donuts. It’s always a fun experience for the family to stop by and see what new and creative donuts they’ve made each week.“

“I'm a regular at BAMBU, having frequented their locations in Houston and New Orleans, so I'm familiar with their menu and have tried it before. The Richmond branch maintains the same offerings but adds a Virginia twist. It offers a serene and inviting atmosphere, perfect for work, study, or relaxed conversations. The servers were friendly and accommodating, patiently assisting us with our orders. At BAMBU, Vietnamese desserts take center stage. Opting for the Fruit Addicts, I enjoyed a delightful combination of coconut milk, jelly, and various exotic fruits. While this was a fantastic choice, their other menu items are equally appealing.“

“I LOVE IT HERE!! Every chance I get, I order an Oreo flavored brown sugar bubble tea, and it's so Delicious and Addictive!!!! Excellent service and atmosphere when I visit. I haven't tried the bread and pastries yet but heard they were amazing! Thx Brecotea for the experience!!“

“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 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 !“

“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“

“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.:)“

“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!“

“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 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.“

“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.“

“My family and I absolutely love this place. The food is delicious but the customer service is truly unmatched. The owner Paul is the walking example of exemplary customer service. He and his wife are so friendly and really create such a warm and welcoming environment.We stumbled across this place after leaving the gym one day and quickly became regulars. The neighborhood coffee shop you've been looking for.“

“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!“

“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“

“The Banoffee Latte is actually insane. It taste like you’re drinking banana bread. I just know this will be a favorite. I hope they decide to keep it or at least bring it back if it goes away for the new season. Idk how it works. Anyway, I love that they offer decaf espresso drinks as I can’t have full caffeine ❤️“

“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.“

“Loved the Taro Milk Tea! Do you have those little treats that are sure fire pick -me-ups? Milk tea or boba do the trick for me- king Fu tea's taro tea was sweet, creamy and not too strong. Plus- who doesn't love marketing that reminds you to be fearless? Excited to try more flavors.“

“Maybe the best Starbucks I've ever stepped foot in. Fast, Efficient, everyone was really nice. Super clean. They even have some personal touches like a donations area, a kiddie corner with books and toys, a raffle for some prize or something. Not to mention a clean well stocked restroom, which is essentially when you are trying to change your kids. Thanks guys, GJ“

“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“

“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!“

“It was a rainy Saturday.. Our wait time was about an hr due to it being a party of 11, for some reason it seems like the entire Richmond gets the same idea on rainy days lol. Service was great, atmosphere was good but the food was superb !!!!“

“I’m not from this area but from where I live there is not many Gluten Free options. My boyfriend lives in Richmond and took me here on my birthday and bought me a slice of GF pie and it was beyond what I expected. Today I had the PB & J (GF) cheesecake and it was delicious. WPA Bakery is my favorite place in Richmond. I greatly appreciate places like this that have GF options so I can also enjoy a treat. Thank you again!“

“The staff at this establishment is truly exceptional – friendly, helpful, and attentive. The food served here is nothing short of amazing. Additionally, the affordability of their burger and fries, especially when compared to Five Guys, is noteworthy. I highly recommend this place; you will not be disappointed.“
