Or, you can skip right to the dessert options! I have yet to have a bad dessert here, but favorite include their Oreo mocha pie, any version of Oreo cake, cannoli, and their homemade Oreos. Service is always warm and friendly, and there are lots of tables to sit inside or outside in their garden area! A Richmond staple and for good reason!

Head caution on the milkshakes if you are not use to vegan milkshakes. While they taste good, at least to me, they are wildly different than an cows milk milkshake.

The pastries were just sweet enough without being overly sweet, which I like. The pistachio cream was a perfect compliment to the pecan encrusted pastry.

I recently had the pleasure of trying out Red Eye Cookie in Downtown Richmond, VA on Grace Street, and I must say, it was a delightful experience from start to finish! First off, the ordering process was incredibly smooth and user-friendly. The website is well-designed, making it easy to browse through their mouth-watering selection of cookies. They offer a wide variety of flavors, from classic chocolate chips to more adventurous options like Bananutella and white chocolate macadamia. The delivery was prompt and the packaging was top-notch. Each cookie arrived warm and boxed (by the dozen), ensuring they arrived fresh and intact. The attention to detail in the packaging stood out and added a special touch to the whole experience. Now, let's talk about the cookies themselves - they were simply divine! Each bite was a perfect balance of chewy and chocolatey. The ingredients tasted fresh and high-quality, and it was clear that a lot of care went into baking each batch. What truly sets Red Eye apart, though, is their exceptional customer service - We ordered several dozen batches of hot chocolate chip cookies - not only were they warm and gooey, but the owner personally delivered them to our doorstep (fearing we would not get our order because we were just on the edge of their delivery area)! This level of personal touch and dedication to customer satisfaction is truly rare and made the experience even more special. Overall, I highly recommend Red Eye Cookie on Grace Street to anyone looking for a delicious and hassle-free cookie delivery experience. Whether you're treating yourself or sending a sweet gift to a loved one, you won't be disappointed! read more

My first visit here and my friend and I just wanted one cookie each--being the healthy and budgeted students we are--and the manager gave them to us for free! They actually do a lot of giveaways, so you should go by and try your luck lol. It wasn't my first time eating a red eye cookie though, regardless both times they were delicious. I had a chocolate chip and Andes mint chocolate chip the first time and the second time another chocolate chip. The cookies are huge and they definitely give you nice chunks of chocolate chips. Also it's only a $1.50 for one cookie, great price. read more

At their soft opening over the weekend, I sampled just about everything they had to offer. Not only are the sweet tears gorgeous to look at, they are also ridiculously delicious. Of the three cookie choices, the dark chocolate chip cookie with sea salt was my favorite. Rich, buttery, with the perfect balance of salt, sweet, and semi-bitter dark chocolate. Perfectly crunchy edges with a soft, chewy center. The decadent Death by Chocolate brownie was also a knockout. I'm still trying to understand what voodoo magic was used to create the perfectly crisp edges and the sublimely moist, chewy center! While delectable by itself, I fully intend to go back for more to make a brownie sundae next time I need to eat my feelings. At the suggestion of one of the kiddos behind the counter, I opted for the carrot cake over the berry pie. Hard to go wrong here with this classic cake and it definitely did not disappoint.
