Food was good and came out quick. Nice atmosphere and the worker there was very polite.

Decided to try a new brunch spot in Carytown, and overall it was it was okay. I enjoyed the French Toast and seasoned potatoes. The eggs, however, just weren't my favorite. The Iced Vanilla Latte was a winner, though my husband wasn't a fan of the coffee. Staff were friendly and the restaurant is clean. It is on the pricier side, so the tab can add up quickly, especially for families. Parking can be challenging in Carytown depending on the time of day, so plan accordingly. read more

Brunchella - French toast, scrambled eggs and seasoned potatoes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

Waited for our food for an hour, even asking twice about it. They left tables dirty for 15 minutes instead of clearing them off so guest could it. current time is 12:43pm 07/19/26. can't really leave an review for the food cause we haven't gotten it yet as writing this review. Ambiance is okay. music is very loud. read more

Super friendly service! Drinks were a highlight, I love that they have seasonal lattes & lemonades. Super mid food though -- I was immediately annoyed when my eggs "scrambled with cheese" came out with cold shredded cheese on top. Who does that? I tried to mix it in but unfortunately the dish wasn't hot enough to melt it. I'd have preferred for them to say "we don't scramble eggs with cheese here". Breakfast potatoes were pretty unseasoned, I'd skip those. Chicken sausage was a highlight. As other reviews mentioned, food takes a really long time to come out. The staff--who again, were very nice-- apologized for the wait. I'd be interested in coming back for their Mediterranean menu items! read more

Brunchella - Farmhouse breakfast with fries + side salad - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

It was nice to try this new, casual family-owned brunch spot in Carytown! We came at 10:00 am and we found parking right out front! Carytown parking can be challenging, but since this place is near the beginning of the street, it was less crowded. The place was pretty busy. Inside was pretty plain decor, but pleasant enough. Counter service with a big menu board, and also menus at the ordering station. The young woman who took our order was friendly. We ordered two earl grey teas, and she was accommodating when we asked for mugs rather than paper cups. Tea in paper cups? Unheard of to tea sinensophiles! There was a tempting bakery case with cakes, pastries and other sweets. I ordered the Eggs Benedict with roasted potatoes & I enjoyed each bite! The hollandaise sauce was creamy and rich! Yum! So my friend chose the Croque (croque is French for crunch) Madame, which is the ham & cheese grilled with béchamel sauce and a sunny-side up egg on top (the French say it resembles a lady's wide brimmed bonnet - the Croque Monsieur is the version without the egg). She ordered it without the egg. This meal is supposed to come with "a bit" of Dijon mustard spread on one side of the bread - but hers was slathered on! And it came with the egg, so she had to send it back. She actually couldn't eat it... but she liked the scalloped potatoes casserole she has as her side. As a side note, our meal took over 20 minutes to arrive. We were a tad perturbed and we could see other customers were looking for their food too. We were actually mentioning the slow service when the owner, Jospeh, came to our table and was so apologetic about the service. He was incredibly gracious and explained that they had been opened just 2 months and were ironing out the kinks, training, and he was surprised how busy they had become. Good news for them! I told him how much we appreciated him coming to our table and my friend told him about the issues with her dish. He offered to make her another entree, and said he would start putting the mustard on the side. He also gave us both complementary danishes, which he didn't have to do, but was so thoughtful and generous. Kudos to him for being proactive. That kind of customer services deserves a second chance and I'll be back! One minor note: as you pay at the counter up front, the screen prompts for a tip. I pressed 20% even though it's counter service and you have yet to know if the service will be prompt or if the food is good. Plus you are expected to bus your own table. I think next time I'll choose "no tip" and leave a cash tip. read more

Cute new brunch place on Cary Street! The menu has breakfast & lunch options, so we'll definitely be back. There's a Mediterranean twist on classic foods like pancakes & burgers. You order at the counter & the kitchen delivers your food to a counter inside. There's outdoor patio seating. It's very casual, but the food itself was delicious & very well-priced. I got French toast, eggs, a protein, and a side for $15 total. We will be back! read more

I got a coconut Caramel coconut latte with almond milk ($8) and it was made in about 5 min. Drinks was balanced pretty well with it being sweet but not overly sweet. Food was surprisingly a generous portion and actually affordable for the area. It was very light and clean so I didn't feel bloated afterwards. The interior is surpassingly quite big and they have some games to play while you relax here. Overall a good experience! read more

I don't normally review but this place was offensively bad. To start the decor feels like you are in a waiting room it's sterile in all the worst ways. The service was, fine. But the counter service for brunch is ridiculous and unexpected. You are also expected to grab your own salt pepper hot sauce etc. which normally I would not care about but what kind of "brunch place" does that However the main problem is the food. I got the Taktuka with ""seasoned potatoes". The Taktuka was shockingly bad. The sauce was barely a sauce. It looked like various canned peppers tossed around with barely any tomatoes to it. The "sauce" was barely there it was mainly just whole veggies, which were also. Badly seasoned, had no heat, no salt, no acid nothing. The eggs were overcooked and unseasoned. The Bread on the side was stale and tasted like it came from Kroger next door 4 nights ago. And the potatoes that said in the name that they were "seasoned" were dry and bland..... This is truly the only restaurant where I sat and wondered if they owned salt. read more

Honestly wish I could give it better stars. I think I had my hopes up reading other reviews, but unfortunately it was an okay experience. The staff were friendly and welcoming. There wasn't anything that wowed me when I came in. But it was very clean. I got the French toast and my friend got pancakes. We both got sides of eggs and potatoes, and she had sausage and bacon. Food was okay. Flavor wise was bland and basic. Unfortunately the French toast was disappointing. They make it with sourdough bread and that stands out, that sour flavor as a French toast made it not worth my wild. I think that's what did it for me. read more

We waited 50 minutes for our meal. When we got it the food was just decent. After the long wait, we reciieved a BLT sandwich that didn't even have bacon on it. read more

Highly, highly recommend if you're spending the day in Carytown! They have meals, snacks, sides, smoothies, coffees, and it's all delicious. Pranav gave great service and was so friendly answering our many questions! We will definitely be returning customers so we can explore the rest of the menu! read more

Took 40 minutes to get food 30 minutes for coffee but the food was delicious the Basterma Omelette was fantastic and the scalloped potatoes where phenomenal (they brought is a fresh hot serving unsolicited) It was a steady crowd and everything seems cooked to order so it's worth a visit read more

Brunchella is doing brunch right in Carytown! I was in the mood for brunch on a random Tuesday and found this place. The menu includes many brunch options as well as burgers, falafel, and Mediterranean style dishes. It was difficult to choose between all of the options but I landed on the Italian frittata with a side of seasoned potatoes. The frittata was cooked to perfection and was a generous portion size. I also ordered the iced Moroccan mint tea, very light and refreshing! The inside of the restaurant was nice with plenty of comfortable seating options as well as a small outdoor patio. The woman that took our order was very friendly and walked us through the menu. The gentleman that brought us our food was also very kind. Everyone seemed excited to be working here and treated their job with care. I will definitely be back to try more items and highly recommend this spot for breakfast, brunch, and lunch! read more

Brunchella - Italian frittata - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

Come for the Brunch, Stay for the "Smocked" Meats Listen, if you find yourself wandering around Carytown questioning your life choices and desperately needing caffeine, let me introduce you to Brunchella. Their menus proudly declare that they will "SATISFY EVERY CRAVING," and honestly? They aren't lying. They've got everything from French tarts to Mediterranean platters, but the real star of the show is the spelling. Here is a breakdown of my deeply spiritual experience at Brunchella: * **The Artisanal Pork Wardrobe:** You *have* to check out the Add-Ons section. I don't know what kind of tiny, beautifully embroidered linen dresses the pigs in the kitchen are wearing, but the **"3 Smocked Bacon"** ($3.95) and **"Smocked Ham - 1 slice"** ($3.95) are absolute game-changers. Nothing cures a weekend hangover quite like pork dressed in traditional 19th-century needlework. * **The Aggressive Eggs:** If you want your breakfast to sound like a physical threat, look no further than the **"Scramble Me"** ($8.95). It sounds like you're daring the line cook to a parking lot brawl, but what you actually get is a delightful little pile of soft scrambled eggs with caramelized onions on a warm bun. * **Geographical Chaos:** The sheer global ambition of this menu is staggering. It's like the United Nations decided to host a music festival. In one sitting, you can order a **Greek Burger**, **Migas Tacos**, an **Italian Frittata**, and a **Beirut Plate**. It's culinary whiplash in the best way possible. * **Breakfast Pizza Justification:** They have a **"Wake-up Pizza Traditional"** ($12.95). It's essentially a pizza crust piled with eggs, sausage, and smocked bacon (presumably). Because why pretend we don't just want cold leftover pizza for breakfast anyway? Brunchella just makes it socially acceptable to eat it in public at 10:00 AM. * **Tech-Bro Beverages:** I washed it all down with a **"Cloud smoothie"** ($5.75). I still don't know what makes it a cloud--maybe the recipe is hosted on an AWS server in California?--but the strawberry, mango, and coconut combo was fantastic. To top it all off, we ordered the **"Brunchella Tower"** ($15.95) because we are adults with disposable income and no self-control. It's a literal tower of sweet and savory bites, and honestly, it's the closest I'll ever get to headlining Coachella. Five stars. Will absolutely be back. Next time, I'm getting the Dubai Treat Cup. read more

Friendly staff, nice local spot. Coffee was good but disappointed that the eggs were overcooked for eggs Benedict. read more

Brunchella - Eggs Benedict - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

Prices are too high for mediocre greasy food you have to serve yourself, get up every time you need butter, a napkin or whatever while 3 or 4 girls are just standing around. No ambiance, HARSH lighting that's disturbing, a a mature decor and overall design is cold and uninviting. You bus your own tables and do not offer recycling. So disappointing read more

The employees were friendly and helpful. However the food and drinks were bland. The matcha was far too weak with not enough matcha powder, so it tasted mostly of milk. The coffee was fine. The French toast tasted like...bread. Some cinnamon, powdered sugar, or any sort of spices or flavoring would be a huge help. The eggs still had runny uncooked whites and also lacked flavor. The interior of the place was cute and has board games available. Hopefully this place works on getting its food menu and drink flavors improved and it could be a great addition! read more

Good service, solid breakfast, great coffee. Chairs were very comfortable. Food was flavored very well.

This place was downright awful. While the ambiance was welcoming, clean, and aesthetically pleasing, service was subpar. But worse - the food. Nothing (not even the pancakes) was worth finishing. It was offensively bad - I can confidently say this place has the worst brunch. read more

Great food and excellent service! I ordered the Pharos Platter and it was so good. One of my friends also ordered the Sunrise Mocktail and it was very fresh and delicious. Thank you for the wonderful experience -- definitely will come back again! read more

Okay so first of all it is a very cute spot. The service was good. You order at the counter and they deliver to your seat. They were friendly and helpful and answered my questions. The food came out quickly and everything seemed clean. If I could rate food and drink separately I would probably give the food a 3 or 4 and the coffee a 1. I got the banana bread latte and it was simply undrinkable. It was much too sweet which should have masked how bitter and terrible the espresso was, but it did not. Maybe I'm just too much of a coffee snob but it was not for me. I liked the food. I do not eat eggs (as a preference) so most of the menu items were off the table for me. I ordered a side of scalloped potatoes, sausage links and fruit. It was a good amount of food. the potatoes were really good. Well seasoned and cheesy and with generous amounts of bacon. The sausage links were just fine. I appreciate that the fruit is apple pieces and berries as opposed to melon but unfortunately most of the pieces of strawberry were mushy and on the verge of going bad. The blueberries were the same, but the apple pieces were nice. My partner got the breakfast burrito and said it was okay. I probably won't be back just because I was underwhelmed and there are so many other spots to eat in richmond but if you need a quick meal it's not terrible by any means. I would skip the coffee. read more

New restaurant on Cary street! Stopped into this place to try it out and it absolutely hit the spot. Was in the mood for brunch during a weekday and couldn't find it anywhere. Combines classic brunch and a mediterranean twist. Ingredients felt fresh and carefully crafted. Food was well seasoned and balanced between. Portion size was filling but not overwhelming. Will definitely be back to try more items! Also.... Moroccan mint tea was delicious read more

I had high hopes when I saw they served shakshuka and a variety of other yummy brunch items but those hopes were spoiled by the awful food. 1. With the name, you expect brunch vibes. Aka, table service, mimosas, group dining. Instead it's set up like a fast food joint with counter ordering and self serve for everything even condiments. The tables only accomodate 2 people and there is absolutely no vibe to the space. No waiter came to check on us. When we asked the person dropping our food for hot sauce he told us we could get it ourselves. 2. The food... We ordered shakshuka, Benedict and a scramble as well as a cappuccino and a matcha latte. Shakshuka is supposed to be rich tomatoes stewed with onions and peppers and paprika and cumin. What I got was 2 unsalted eggs cooked on top of diced tomatoes. No seasoning or salt. It was inedible. The Benedict was also unsalted and the hollandaise was broken (aka the mixed the egg yolk in at too high a temp so it scrambled) and they still served it. It was inedible. The scramble itself was overcooked and watery. Worse than you would get on an airplane. We left all of our food. The cappuccino we ordered came as a latte with an insane amount of milk. I really could not imagine worse food or service. If this place wants to survive they are going to need to train their chefs and do a complete turnaround on the vibes and service because there is no reason for anyone to ever come here twice as it stands read more

Brunchella offers a simple ambiance, great service, and delicious food! It's hard to find breakfast locations open as early as they are.

This was such an amazing experience! The staff were incredibly kind, the food was fantastic, and the coffee was delicious! The service was quick, great quality food, and just overall great. Got a chance to speak to one of the owners and they were the sweetest person. I cannot wait to go back! read more

Thought we would check these guys out on a lazy Tuesday and I'm so glad we did. We had so much food we had to bring it back home for later. Service was great and the Cook was helpful... Absolutely delicious! read more
