I love this adorable and cozy coffee shop in Powhatan. I always stop here when family camp a few nights on their way to and from Florida. THIS is a coffee shop. They have a slew of delicious lattes and chais (among many things) but I have a thing for their honey latte. Not too sweet--just divine. The employees are friendly. They are all young--teens and very early twenties so forgive them a little for being distracted here and there. I was looking at all the artisan items for sale before approaching the counter to order. The nice guy at the counter was worried I had been standing there a long time. Nope! All good! read more

Cute coffee shop that stays busy for a reason. The quality of my iced mocha fluctuates, but has been anywhere from okay to very good. Please note that there is an extra charge for almond and oat-milk, but not other non-dairy milks. Have only tasted the maple pecan scone because it is so delicious and must have it. My husband tried the egg and cheese biscuit, but would not get again due to the tiny size for the cost. Wish they were not so busy as inside seating can be a challenge. They post unexpected closings/delayed openings on Facebook. Go check them out! read more

I like that it's right in the middle of town and easy to get to. I didn't like that when I walked in, not one person greeted me. And there were two people behind the counter, one was casually talking to a male customer/friend. I stood behind him for a minute and walked away to browse even though i realized they were just casually talking. I circled back, he said his goodbyes and finally I was able to order. I got a maple cinnamon latte. It was really good. read more

Great coffee, great food, beautifully decorated, great location. So happy to have this gem close by. They carry Gelati Celesti, the do latte flights, delicious baked goods, and healthy snacks. The vibes are like a beach coffee shop in the middle of central VA. They always love on our toddler who's been coming in with us since he was born. Always friendly and helpful, even when they are super busy. Adding photos of some of our favorite foods but highly recommend the chai latte with oat milk which I didn't get a picture of. read more

If you love a local coffee shop, you'll love Rise and Grind. Of course it has great coffee with some signature lattes. The pastries are always freshly made. Lots of fun, local art. And did I mention how they promote local crafts and events? The owners are very personable and get to know folks - new timers and repeaters - like they're are best friends. Highly recommend. read more

The vibe of the place is super relaxing and full of happiness. They have several small shop business shelves also inside that you can purchase from which I absolutely love as a small business owner myself! They also make super yummy breakfast sandwiches and coffee! My sis is a matcha queen for here haha. Definitely recommend going! read more

I don't know how this place could EVER get less than 5 stars, I'd give them 11! Camping for memorial weekend and went in for some coffee because of course. And to start it's ADORABLE on the inside. The girl at the front (I wish I got her name) took my order and I went to get a white mocha and she pointed out that they have a blackberry white mocha so I decided to try it because I've def had orange before once and it was yummy, and Omgosh I'm glad she pointed it out. You get the coffee first with a secondary slow drift of flavor (the blackberry) and I don't even know what else to say, it was delicious. I had my boyfriend try it (to preface this he HATES coffee(I know, what a sociopath, who doesn't love coffee )) but I didn't tell him what it was, I told him it was white mocha with pizazz and he took a sip and made an extremely surprised face. He then kept drinking it and I had to take it away. lol. All in all, just go in. They are warm, welcoming, the place is adorable and clean, AND the coffee is delicious! 1700 stars. Thank you girl at the counter that I didn't get your name! And lady that I talked to about Orange coffee! read more

I've been here twice and both trips the service was quick and the staff were pleasant. The first time I was with a coworker and we were grabbing a bunch of hot coffees for members of our team and surprisingly enough we were in and out within 10 minutes. My second visit was the other day because I needed an iced coffee for a mid day pick me up. I've only gotten into iced coffee within the last few months and I appreciated how patient and helpful the women who took my order was with me. O settled on the iced caramel macchiato and I loved the fact they had almond milk and almond whipped cream! I didn't have to add any additional sweetener or sugar so it was a double bonus for me. There were a few other people working inside the cafe and another group was ordering pastries while I waited so I'll have to be sure to try those out the next time I stop in. read more

This place is the hidden jem of the town! It's cute from the outside and gorgeous inside with ample room for a live music and kids dancing. The best thing is the owner. She is very friendly, very knowledgeable about her products and sociable. Her staff are patient, kind and friendly. If you have an allergy, they will try to accommodate you and point you to the right food to consume. What about the food and drinks? I'm glad I do not live here or else, I'll be here daily to enjoy one of their drinks, pastry or gelato. All are tasty! If you want Starbucks, this place is better. You can have any drinks you want with all sorts of add-on if you like. You don't want cow milk, they have Almond or Oat milk. You have an allergy, they will try to accommodate you. A little hungry, try one of their delicious baked goods. One taste is all you need and you'll be hooked. The lemon bars are smooth, decadent, not too acidic and too sweet, but definitely addictive. You will definitely would want more! If getting the blondie, they can warm it up for you or if you get one for home, zap it a bit so you can enjoy it as if it's fresh out of the oven. There's a lot of chocolate chips so perfect for a chocoholic. Pair it a beverage and your belly will be satisfied. If you are Gluten sensitive, they offer GF and Vegan too. These are moist and not overly sweet. The GF pound cake was smooth. I'm some places, their pound cake feels gritty, dry, sometimes too sweet or bland. I like hers. But what about the vegan cupcake?! Well, I would not suggest just eating the icing. If you do, you'll find it too sweet. You must eat it with the sponge! Yes, you have to because they balance each other out. The cupcake has enough sugar but paired with the icing, you'd enjoy it even more. Don't like the icing, you don't have to eat it. The vegan chocolate chips cookies are not GF. It has a coconut undertone, packed with chocolate chips and big! The sweetness is spot on What else have I tried in a visit? The smoothies, ice match latte with almond milk, and gelato. So much food right? Well, I brought some home and they kept in the car all the way to NC. We were lucky it was a cloudy and coolish day. So my kids got the strawberry-banana smoothie and the mango. They loved it. The matcha latte was not bitter and the sweetness was just right. Last, the gelato is a must on a hot day. It is not like getting one of those pints at the grocery store. I find those overly sweet and not satisfying. Their gelato is creamy, sweetened to perfection, smooth and filled with whatever flavour. For example, the coconut has coconut in it and not just the extract. The coconut is not hard as if added in the last minute. They give a nice texture to the treat. The sorbet is not grainy, too sweet, or eating a frozen juice. It's as smooth as if you are eating a dairy based one. You can add extra topping too if you want and they offer tasting as well. Another excellent thing about this place, they offer reusable cutleries, the spoons are recyclable since they are made of wood. Environmental friendly! So, if you are in the area, come check this place out! You won't be disappointed! The owner and her staff are amazing people. read more

This is a beautiful cafe with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. They have tall, open windows that let in a lot of sunlight. And a soft aroma of gentle music that makes you feel at ease. To me, their drinks are very tasty, and they feel more natural and flavorful rather than other cafes I've been to. They also have new drink options for every holiday and season, so I always look forward to trying what's new! The best part is how kind and warm the employees are, especially the owner! They go beyond regular cafes and make sure all their guests are welcomed. Sometimes Jerry will go around to all the tables to check on them and see if they need anything. An awesome gem of a cafe! read more

Visiting my in-laws in Powhatan, we stumbled across this new, chic, and modern coffee shop called Rise and Grind! Judging by the facade, I could tell the food and drinks would be top notch. I was right as I had the maple pecan scone and the holiday drink Peppermint Candy Cane Cold Brew drink. Though the food is delicious here, it's the friendly Guest service that won me over! Here is where I met this super friendly employee named Jerry who I discovered is the co-owner of this coffee shop! He not only made us feel welcome, he treated us like VIPs and made sure our orders were delivered to our table accurately. Because I enjoyed this experience so much, I decided to purchase their hat....to support local business but also as a reminder of my first time experience there! read more

The tea service is at 2:30 and the hosts kindly accommodated us calling a day ahead, as reservations are required. We were tickled pink when we entered the foyer painted a bright magenta with shelves of teacups and wide-brimmed fancy hats along the walls. Our table was in a cottage-styled room with English chintz floral tablecloths, robin egg blue walls, a cozy fireplace guarded by a hot pink lion statue keeping watch over his domain we dubbed him Pepper), and weathered wooden fences provided the backs for the benches, so shabby chic! We loved the bird motif throughout this cozy room! The mantle was strewn with various bird figurines, amidst bird houses & nests displayed at various spots around the room. Our places were set with beautiful rose patterned china, as Paul, our host offered us tea! He then brought the multi-tiered plate server that held the most delectable small bites I'd ever had at a tea room! Paul was extremely amiable and spot on as he described the offerings. He informed us that the chef, his wife Kathy, made everything from scratch! There was a scrumptious ham, cheese and green pepper quiche, an amazing spinach/feta pastry, and a creative Reuben pinwheel with homemade sauerkraut! Then of course, the classic cucumber finger sandwiches! We were blown away by the savories! The sweet potato & cinnamon scones were fluffy, dense and perfectly sweetened, served with a cinnamon vanilla whipped cream... delicious! For the dessert course, we we served pumpkin spice mini cakes & homemade chocolate truffles. Wow! We were completely satisfied with the food and the service was impeccable! A delightful conversation ensued with Paul and Kathy as we learned how they met and decided to open this establishment! Paul is also a shoemaker, and serves the local community cobbler services in a small shop behind the main farmhouse! After our meal, we wandered to the second tearoom which was painted a golden yellow with heavy wooden furniture exhibiting loads of china, coffee/tea urns, teapots, and collectibles. The focal point is the bright white fireplace, decorated for the season! Note the gorgeous Indian quilt wall hanging, quite a story there! This room is definitely more of an classic English style. Through the archway you enter the café, a much more casual atmosphere with a few tables donning oilcloth tablecloths, checkered floors, and a hutches and shelves filled with various teas, coffees, and gifts. Here the locals gather for sandwiches, salads, and a few menu specials! Also, along with homemade cakes and pies for dessert, they serve Richlands Ice Cream! The next room is the cozy British tavern with a couple high-top tables and seating at the small bar. I could definitely see my hubby and I here grabbing a pint, some pub fare and listening to live music. A blue leather chair, Guinness signs, suits of armor and deer heads add to the rustic, warmth of this quaint tavern. Nothing short of a power couple, Paul and Kathy have a flair for making their customers into their friends! I certainly hope they thrive and survive during this pandemic because it's obvious they are serving the community and surroundings towns with the best in culinary pleasures!

I ordered a chai latte with almond milk, the total was about eight dollars, which I find to be more expensive than other cafés. The chai latte lacked flavor, with no strong notes of black tea or cinnamon to indicate that it is a chai drink. Honestly, to me, it tasted like hot diluted milk. I took about 3/4 sips before I poured the whole thing down the drain at home. It actually was just bad. Really, I should've asked the barista for another drink as this one was not up to standard. I was so disappointed in this as I was excited to experience a new café. Their menu is soooo extensive and I find with places that have such large menus, they usually aren't good.

They also have cafe affogato which I wanted to try but chickened out since it was early in the day for that much sugar. I got the pistachio white chocolate mocha latte and since it was their birthday, they had free whipped topping and sprinkled with all drinks. I got the whipped topping on my iced coffee and it was amazing! I could taste the nutty flavor of pistachio and also the white chocolate. They didn't fill up the cup with ice and give very little drink which I also appreciated. They also had pastries and some food items but the food menu is relatively small. I'll come back for coffee when I'm in the area for sure.

Atmosphere: cute. Wish the seats are more comfortable…read more Service: definitely a 5. They were patient with me as I was truly having a hard time picking among all the delicious sounding breakfast and lunch sandwiches! The barista was very friendly sharing her suggestions for what would be a good drink, hot or cold. Food: I'd give a 4 since my croissant was toasted more on the slightly over toasted (tad burnt on the edges) ham and Swiss croissant. They were flexible to serve my croissant with fig jam rather than typical horseradish aoili.

These folks do coffee. That's pretty much it. Maybe tea, I dunno about that 'cause I never look for…read moreit, just look for coffee. And this is the place to look! They have whole bean coffee from Nicaragua, Columbia, Brazil, you name it. My favorites are their Breakfast Special blends, both regular and decaf - dark enough to please that inner devil and smooth enough to placate your better angel, the Brazilian, Dark Columbian and well, most of them. I usually end up buying five bags every time I go in there. I have been getting them ground and they happily will do that for you, but I'm now trying the whole bean and grinding it myself and wow! That's good. So, do yourself a treat and stop in for a bag or two. I think you'll like it. As for service - great. And the ambiance is as you might expect for a coffee wholesaler - cluttered and full of coffee.

Bright and airy space, almost like a spa!…read more Quiet when I came in weekday afternoon. Calming spot to grab a treat, get some work done/journal, or catch up with friends in an aesthetic and modern cafe. Ordered the paradise tea with mango and avocado. I loved the textures and layers of flavors. The drink was filling and lasted me a while, not watery but refreshing. The mango tasted fresh and avocado creamy. I haven't tried the pastries at this location, but have at their other Richmond cafe. Great cakes and buns made fresh in-house. Easy to find parking at the lot outside. Service is pretty quick.

Came here to get a breakfast pastry while in the area. Brecotea is a Korean inspired bakery that…read morealso has hot and cold beverages, breads, cakes, and savory sandwiches as well. The ambiance was clean and orderly. Upon entering, you grab a serving tray lined with parchment and some tongs. The items are in a glass enclosed display that you have to open and place your selections on your tray for purchase. I settled on the pistachio cream filled pecan pastry, the almond twist, and strawberry shortcake. The beverage menu was extensive: matcha, flavored teas, cocoa, espresso/coffee, and more. We were greeted by pleasant staff at checkout and our orders placed in a parchment type bag for take out. They also have seating inside. 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. The almond twist was both flaky and crunchy with the sliced almonds on top, and the strawberry shortcake had layers of real strawberries, whipped topping and yellow cake that was moist. All were fresh. All in all, a great place to stop by for a morning pastry treat and tea/coffee while in the area,
