I heard their cold brew was phenomenal so I had to try it. You can buy it by the 6 pack at the distributor or single at the local coffee shops that serve their coffee such as Chair Lift in Richmond. Their cold brew was mild and delicious and doesn't leave you wired like other places! Just very good flavor. Every Friday at 10:30am they do public cupping sessions, which I recommend! Definitely check them out!

There's a list of ~10 drinks and syrups to choose from so if you know what you like, you should be in and out quickly. They have a handful of food/pastries as well depending on when you arrive - they were sold out when we visited. They have a variety of seating with tables, a sofa, and a bar. I'm more of a specialty drink person so I had trouble knowing what to pick. We ended up trying an iced lavender vanilla latte and an iced matcha latte. Both were made as ordered but nothing to run home about, probably our own doing. With tax and tip, our two drinks came out to ~$17.

They roast single origin coffees onsite and sell them in completely biodegradable pods, which only stay on their shelves for up to 30 days so the coffee always tastes super fresh. They are not like other biodegradable pods you may see for sale elsewhere, these actually ensure you get a fantastic cup of coffee each time. I started talking to the baristas, Lisa and Anastasia, and shared that I used to work for Starbucks and was amazed how the same coffee could taste completely different if it was prepared differently. Lisa promptly took out two bags of coffee and prepared a pour over of each. They were the same beans, but roasted at different temperatures. She gave tastes to me and another customer. It was amazing how different the coffees tasted, and they even had different colors. It was such a cool experience! I bought a box of Columbia medium roast pods, which I've been enjoying every day this week. They have several coffees available to try, along with pastries and made to order sandwiches. It's located in an industrial area, off the main road, but is well worth the trip if you're looking for some delicious coffee. It's become my go to coffee roaster in the Richmond area.

Their pastries are all fantastic and my favorite is the cookies and cream pastry. I usually order my regular, an iced Americano with oat milk, and it's delicious every time. I also started getting the smoked trout spread with focaccia, which has been a great dish to snack on while finishing up work. In addition to the smoked trout spread, they offer bagels with different cream cheese spreads, a kale Caesar, and their popular tiramisu dessert. The staff are always friendly and will bring your drink to you if you decide to sit down. I also like that they stopped offering free Wi-Fi on the weekends. It promotes a space that helps people be more present, and I love that.

Stopped by here twice while driving around looking for coffee. Parking was a little tough out front…read moresince it's been busy every time we went. Inside is pretty big, but almost all seats were taken each time. We've tried an Iced Mocha, the Pandan Matcha Latte, and the Five Year Bloom. Really loved all their drinks, especially the Five Year Bloom. Wasn't too sweet but great mix of coconut and dates with coffee. Staff here was really nice and would definitely come back through.

Was planning on ordering coffee for my family, but before doing so I walked in with my baby to use…read morethe restroom and change her. Unfortunately, there wasn't even a changing table available. Instead, I was stopped and loudly reprimanded by a large, intimidating male employee in front of a line full of customers because I had apparently "used the wrong door" and "skipped the line." When I explained that I needed to use the restroom before ordering, I was told I should have used the other entrance -- despite the fact that the door I was directed toward had a clearly posted sign saying "Please Use Other Door." The entire interaction was humiliating and completely unnecessary. No customer, especially a mother carrying a baby, should be publicly shamed over something so minor and confusing. To make matters worse, the bathroom itself was filthy. Even if I had attempted to change my daughter on the floor due to the lack of a changing station, it would have felt unsanitary and unsafe. Businesses love to say they support women and families, but too often mothers are treated like an inconvenience the moment they actually need basic accommodation and decency.

It's definitely a local spot and there was a small line when we arrived around 9:30ish, but it moved relatively quickly and we ordered an oatmilk latte, brown sugar cardamom oatmilk latte, and vegan burrito. The weather was nice, so we found outdoor seating and our drinks/food came out within 10mins. Overall, not our favorite cup of coffee in the area - but still good and very-well priced! The burrito was yummy too - I'd definitely recommend if you're looking for a relaxed, no-fuss spot :)

Yelp definitely indicates otherwise, and the photos of menus with vegan options had me so hyped to pop in for a fat drip coffee and avocado toast. Sadly, not the case. The coffee was pretty good, but the three pastry offerings left me leaving both upset and hungry. Nothing gluten-free either. Honestly, I felt a little catfished. That aside, it's a cool spot if you're just looking for a caffeine boost. Their Bali blends are solid, the space has a good vibe, and I guess this part of RVA can always use another good coffee joint. Just don't show up hungry based on the Yelp photos like I did. Mid experience overall.

I got the spiced orange mocha latte which was great; good hints of spicy and orange in the latte which felt very festive. Nothing was too strong.

There is plenty of seating so it'd be a great spot to grab coffee to catch up with a friend or have a solo study session. It is on the pricier end of coffee shops.

It is pretty close to the Asian market, Lotte. Plenty of seats to choose from. Staffs were super friendly and made sure that we were taken care of. The menu provides a lot of options and I can already tell that we'll be coming back here to try their lunch. We came here for a brunch date instead of a later date. I got their Mocha coffee and my husband got their Latte coffee. BOTH were delicious! I don't remember the order that we hand (since 2 months have passed) but I know the food came out pretty quick and def had their presentation of the dish. The food was delicious and we both enjoyed our dishes very much. Parking is pretty tight there but worth it. You won't regret trying this place!

They make a beautiful sourdough country loaf that is fantastic to bring home, slice in 1/2" slices with a sharp bread knife, put in a gallon freezer bag, and freeze for amazing sandwiches and treats during the week. Try a Spanish pan con tomate with one of these slices slightly toasted, with a rub of garlic, salt, and good e.v. olive oil, and you'll be happy as a clam. (What does that even mean?) Or use said previously frozen slices as a dessert treat with your sleepy time tea, toasted with butter and good local raw honey drizzled on it. Bathrooms are very clean. Next up, I will go early to sit down and eat there, trying one of the incredible looking breakfast sandwiches and/or salads that folks seem elated to be eating.

I recently tried one of their sandwiches for the first time - The Shirley, which was pleasant - flavorful, light, and summer friendly only to learn that Shirley got the boot with the creation of their new menu!
