They have a bar that doubles as a coffee bar that also sells wine and beer in the evening? Tons of parking outside and maybe tables to choose from even though the place was pretty filled up! All the syrups for coffee were house made which I LOVE!! a lot of places in Richmond don't do house made syrups so that already puts this place on top. I got an iced latte with vanilla bean and my partner ordered an iced coffee with brown sugar cinnamon. 10/10 on both. Seriously. One of the best lattes I've had in this area and the prices were LOW compared to other cafes. My 12 oz latte was under $6 and so was my partners coffee. The people were nice who work here as well and seemed to know what they were doing.

I decided to hurriedly pull into the corner of the shopping strip with a sign that said Stella's grocery in hopes that I could pick up something to have for lunch later. The interior was bright and I was greeted by smiling faces. The store was small but utilized the space in a tremendous way. There was a small seating area, floor to ceiling coolers and refrigerated areas filled with pre-made lunches and dinners, along with unique beverage items (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) and the shelves were adorned with fun snacks that looked pretty healthy (trail mix, dried fruits, nuts, chips and much more). Not only was this store filled to the brim with grocery items they also serve coffee and baked goods. I got a Tuscan farro salad with chicken for my lunch and couldn't help myself and ordered their rosemary brown sugar latte. The cashier/barista at the counter was very nice and walked me through their size options. She was very patient and understanding when I shared that it was my first time there. They even had a variety of milk options including oat and soy milk. I walked out feeling so much better than when I walked in, I thought my newfound positivity couldn't grow anymore until I took my first sip of my latte. It was amazing! The rosemary flavor is so subtle but added something very unique to my beverage. I was instantly warmed through and through. I will definitely go back for coffee and for an occasional replacement for a forgotten lunch. A good cup of coffee with a side of amazing customer service really brightened my morning and I think that is worthy of a great review and reccomendation!

From the fresh salads, to the tempting pasta dishes, dinner awaits at your fingertips. We, however, ate on the avenue. It was so quaint to watch people walk by in this busy neighborhood. Sometimes the parking is an issue, but one can park at the market around the corner. You order at the counter, and take a number to your table. Yes, there's a limited menu, but the appetizers, bowls, and entrees are well chosen. We had the roasted tomato & whipped feta flatbread which came with artichokes, black olives, & arugula. It was absolutely delicious! We also had the hummus platter with pita points & crudités. Our meal was fabulous! The cocktail, beer, wine, and beverage menu is extensive. We were served rather quickly, and the servers were attentive. We can't wait to return to this wonderful Greek eatery. And don't forget to pick up a ton of olive oil on your way out!

I'll only write of what I've tried…read more From the perfect baguettes who's peaks are worthy of ride-back-home consumption, to their beautiful hand pies with perfect filling, to their buttery and flaky chocolate croissants, this place is worth the long lines one typically encounters. 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! Parking can be challenging during peak hours but it's worth the wait. #bringbackshirley

Do not pick up in person, this is a ghost kitchen and we were a little surprised that in the time…read morewe were looking over the menu more than five delivery drivers appeared to pick up food from the multiple places. We split one sandwich because with the added tempeh it ended up being $15 without add ons and we still had to modify to make it vegan. The food is advertised as being vegan optional and not worth it. The portion is not worth the price. We wanted to support this establishment in person since we wanted to make sure we were not paying for delivery and were already across the street. However, in the advertisement I saw online, they said to visit in person and that was not the case at all. If I was in the area and willing to pay DC prices for a sandwich, I would come back, but not seek it out in RVA.

But very quickly it is presumed that a customer orders on a screen and wait for their orders afterwards. Easy and simple concept which is great with the outdoors seating available. We ordered several different items and they were all superb. The Bon Air sandwich with scallion pancake was incredibly delicious and tasty. My only wish was that I ordered 2. The mild tingling sensation in my tongue from the szechuan peppercorn was a great balance with the avocados in the sandwich. It was essentially a scallion pancake taco which I happily ate up. The tea eggs were beautifully done and my brain immediately wanted congee with them because they were that delicious. The Quirky Theia was rich with the beef shank and also a bit spicy from the mala paste. It balanced well with the scallion pancake we chose to wrap it in. Overall, we really enjoyed our meal and hope to try out some of the other options next time!
