    A wonderful shop that is missing a decent seating area - but otherwise a solid choice for any coffee enthusiast. Vast selection of beans, accessories, etc. to pick from - and appreciate the inclusion of a coffee bar where you can get something to go :) anywhere I go for the first time, I always just get a black coffee just to see what their baseline is and this was a wonderfully delicate cup with some pungent/bold flavors. Overall the perfect place to grab a gift for a friend who loves coffee, or treat yourself to a nice new addition to your own setup. Will definitely be circling back here soon :)

    Here's what I got: Strawberry Matcha: this is a may special. oooooo just how i like it. creamy, not too green tea tasting, and a perfect amount of strawberry flavor. Cheese danish: sooo good. the bread is soft and the cream cheese is fluffy will be returning

    Never had I ever been to place where they're actually making coffee and tea in the building until I had been here! It was so cool to see the machine behind the coffee making and I loved the homey feeling in the store. The staff were also very quick to take my order! They had a pretty cool menu too, lots of different flavors. When I went I got an iced oatmilk matcha and it was pretty good. I wish the matcha taste was bit stronger because for the most part it kinda of just tasted like oatmilk :/. However, i'm sure their menu has a lot more to offer.

    I came here with my cousin Jan who is quite the regular so she told me exactly what to get. The coffee I flew home to Florida was so good and we do get very good Cuban coffee but I'd definitely stop in and bring Rostov's coffee home again! I also met the owner who bagged up our special grinds she was super nice! Very cute store with plenty of gifts if you need one! Feel free to send me more coffee!!!

    So many mugs!

    Such an underrated coffee shop!! Rostov's has sooo many fun goodies for purchase including coffee mug galore!! So many cute and diverse styles. They have so many teas and coffees to choose from and it's so affordable compared to some other shops. One of the feature drinks was an Irish cream cold brew - I wanted Irish cream but in a hot drink so they made it latte style and modified it to be less sweet than usual - it was perfect. I highly recommend this coffee shop and will absolutely be back to keep buying quality coffee/tea at a steal price!!

    Oh my... just the aroma of Rostov's will have you steeped in felicity! Big burlap bags filled with deep, rich coffee beans greet by the door to welcome you into this euphoric caffeine paradise! I literally just stopped and took it all in! It smelled heavenly! A friendly fellow invited me to dig out a scoop and inhale the odoriferous beans! What to choose first? Beautiful colors of brown ranging from caramel to chestnut to dark chocolate enticed my senses! After sampling a few flavors, I settled upon a chocolate raspberry blend and a good old rich Cuban espresso. Then it was back to the grind for the kind shopkeeper who ground my beans to my taste! In the back of the shop are the extremely well organized loose leaf tea containers. They are color coded for easy selection: black teas, green teas, herbal teas, fruit teas & decaf teas. As a sinensophile, I was duly impressed with all of the choices! I settled upon the Duchess Grey, which has a hint of lavender in the blend! Delicious! And I couldn't pass up the smoky gunpowder tea!! Rows and rows of eclectic coffee and tea cups are artfully displayed throughout the store! Talk about the perfect mugshot! I saw mermaid cups, animal cups, three-legged cups, patterned cups, plain cups, Chinese cups, skeleton cups, floral cups and more! I love the octopus teapot and all the coffee & tea accoutrements uniquely chosen by the owner! As gifts, I purchased two cups with RVA designs on them, as well as a couple tea bags holders and tea filters. No matter how you like to brew your coffee or steep your tea, there's a pot, kettle, infuser or implement for you! Rostov's has been an RVA establishment for over 40 years!! I love this place a latte, it's brewteaful!!

    Great selection of wares to make a good cuppa!

I walked…read moredirectly up to the cashier, who looked right past me without saying a word and then walked away toward the pickup area, where another employee was standing. That employee also completely ignored me, despite the fact that I was clearly standing there waiting to be helped. I was there to pick up a DoorDash order for someone else, but based on the way I was treated, I can guarantee you I will not be choosing to spend my own money at this establishment. I ultimately had to ask another customer who was standing in line if they knew where to pick up a DoorDash order. The entire experience was incredibly dismissive and unprofessional. A simple acknowledgment or, at the very least, "We'll be with you in a moment" would have made a huge difference.

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,

It is fast casual - you order at the kiosk and grab a place to eat, listening for your number and/or text to alert you the food is ready. We arrived about 6pm on a Saturday night. It was busy and I grabbed one of the last two tables. It got very busy shortly after we placed our orders. The dining area is pretty big with plenty of bar seating around the windows. While we all ordered one after the other, our food didn't come out that way. Most of the food came out in about 25-30 minutes. The chicken was cooked perfectly. Juicy! Two people got tenders and three of us got sandwiches. The OG sandwich was very good, just messy! I ended up using a fork and knife bc it got too messy. The Mac and cheese was made with pimento cheese and was very good. My friend who got the fried green tomatoes said they were delicious and filling. Lots of goodies on top. Two friends enjoyed the collards. The only person who was underwhelmed was the person who got the Asian sandwich. Overall, if I wanted a good chicken sandwich and a Buttermilk and Honey was nearby, I'd place an order.

    Abi's Books and Brews was such a cozy little place to catch up with a friend. The vibe inside is…read moresuper warm and welcoming, especially if you want somewhere chill to read, work, or just hang out and talk for a bit. Seating is kind of limited, but luckily we were able to snag a table. I had fun checking out all the different book sections, but the banned book area was definitely the coolest part to me. I thought it was awesome that they give people the chance to explore those books so openly. I only got a cold brew, and it was okay. I wasn't a fan of their ice just cuz the shape just melts quicker and makes your drink watery fast. Aside from that, the service was really great. Everyone was super friendly and happy to help. The location is also really convenient if you're around the VCU Cary st area. Definitely a nice spot to relax for a while.

    Abi's Books and Brews is the perfect combination of coffee,books and records. If I miss anything…read moreit's because I was fixated on the books. Upon entering, the books are found along the wall, there are tables and chairs to sit and the coffee is ordered at a counter right in the center of the store. Towards the back, they have a section just for kids and young adults. Also, there are plenty of parking outside. They have new and old books available at decent prices. One of the best things I have ever seen is they have a dedicated turning bookcase for BANNED books of Hanover county. It is a lending library. You choose a book, open it and scan the QR code inside and check off the book you picked. Then, you return it when you're done. No time limit on it. That easy. I am so proud that they are supporting these books and making it easy for anyone to have access to them. On this visit, I borrowed Jodi Picoult's book, Nineteen Minutes. I recommend you come visit and support this coffee/book shop in the VCU area. I definitely recommend it and plan to visit often.
