I visited Sefton in the mid-afternoon to grab a snack and some much needed caffeine. The vibes were super cozy and the cafe was as full of gifts and wine to purchase. The staff were super nice and had tons of recommendations for drinks. I ordered a lavender latte and a ham and cheese croissant. The lavender latte was absolutely delicious and had none of the bitter aftertaste that I've experienced with other lavender drinks. The ham and cheese croissant was warm, flaky, and perfect as an afternoon snack. read more

Cute little coffee shop! It even has little gifties for friends! I really like stopping here to get an iced latte and a bagel! It is hit or miss with how busy it is in the morning, but there is never a long wait. read more

Came here on a chilly day on a whim - this place did not disappoint. They have housemade syrup options and other beverages and teas to try. They also serve sandwiches and other breakfast items. I ordered the date sugar iced latte and I like how it was served in a paper - recycle friendly cup. Lots of cute wine and other alc beverages to purchase as well as jams. When I went it was pretty busy but there were still a lot of seating options. My latte wasn't too sweet and the flavor was super unique. read more

I stopped by here before heading the airport on a work trip. The service was great and so was the coffee. I only wish they had a better food selection. read more

I loved the unique-ness & whimsy of this coffee shop! The personality and passions of the owners is visible in such a positive way. Another plus is the blended menu of standard, classic coffee & tea beverages with specialty, stand-out, house-created favorites "with a twist". These house-favorites are super yummy because they make all of their syrups in-house! How cool is that! No "pumps" of anything! I was excited to order a cinnamon vanilla latte with oatmilk, since cinnamon is one of my favorite spices. Unfortunately, it was made without oatmilk and wasn't as hot as I'd have liked. I didn't realize the milk error until I was in my vehicle, driving away. What a disappointment! Luckily, I can have dairy. Oatmilk is just my preference. So, I didn't return the drink since I'd travelled a distance away from the shop. The small coffee shop was crowded and there was only a little space to stand while waiting for my order. There were a lot of tempting items to peruse and/or buy while waiting though. They do roast, grind, and sell their own coffee, plus bottles of wine are available. read more

Literally the best matcha lattes in VA. The staff was super nice and quick with my order. Will definitely come again.

I had an absolutely lovely pre-work morning coffee date here today with one of my good friends. We arrived around 8:15am (on a Wednesday) and it wasn't busy. My friend ordered the dirty chai which she is obsessed with after her first visit here last month. She adores how rich the flavor is and how it feels like an enhanced cinnamon coffee. I've been trying to visit Sefton forever, but usually find myself near it when it's closed (on weekends). I'm thrilled I finally had the chance to visit. I ordered the Coconut Rose Latte. It was very different from what I've ordered at coffee shops in the past. I enjoyed the first few sips, but midway through the rose flavor was too strong for me. The coffee itself was amazing though and I'm excited to return to try other styles. I also got a pain au chocolat that was delicious. I spent about $14 on my oat milk latte and pastry with tip. The interior is stunning. I love how cozy and cute it is in here. It was fun to look at all the gifts and wines they had for sale. A lot of the shop gifts were my taste and I could've easily spent hundreds of dollars on them if I had no self-control. My friend mentioned that she loved a mug and would get it next time she came (I ended up buying it for $8 for her housewarming next week). I brought my laptop hoping to cowork from here, however they don't offer free wifi here. I wouldn't recommend this spot for a laptop working day. However, it's great for an intentional present moment drink with a friend or a quick stop before work. Their coffee is delicious! read more

The aesthetic here is unmatched - walls and store-area are wonderfully decorated - and the effort and love that goes into the flavors they offer (I got a Lemon Cookie Latte - apparently the owners made it from scratch?! like how cool is that?!). Anyways - my latte was delicious and nothing like any drink I've ever had before. Great quality coffee, but that said, it's not a good place to sit-down and work. No WiFi which is frustrating - especially for a place with as few seating options (I've heard of instances where restaurants or coffeeshops will avoid having WiFi purely to help promote community, etc - but their rationale is not super clear, and if it was about community there just isn't a ton of space to promote it. Lastly, love the shop area when you walk in - and plus, who doesn't love a dual wine-coffee bar?! Will be back. read more

Coffee is hit or miss (love the Iced Breve) and they do not have WiFi or outlets available. Food menu is niche/limited. Definitely a cute shop, not great for working remotely if that's what you're looking for! read more

This place rocks. The coffee leads the charge and it is exquisite. I had cortado after cortado-each one better than the last. Great offerings from 3 hometown bakers, specialty drinks galore and the coup de grace-well-curated inventory of gourmet goods-spices, spreads, salts, Italian digestifs. And the ambience was sublime. read more

Had to leave because the service was so slow. Staff standing around talking to each other while the line backed out to the street.

One of the only coffee shops in the downtown area. It is a cute café with a small shop of local Richmond goods. If you work downtown or in the area, we're stopping in for a pretty good cup of coffee at a nice place to sit. Baristas are also very nice and keep the coffee is coming fast. read more

The ambiance of the place is quite nice with a lot of activist materials you can go through, and some seating with warm lighting. The service was good and the employees are friendly. I ordered a london fog, which wasn't quite explicitly on the menu but they made it anyways and it wasn't great (quite milky and not sure if they out the vanilla/lavender syrup that is usually added in them with the tea). The pastries looked good and maybe I'll go back to try a different item. read more

Sefton is such a cute, local coffee shop with friendly staff and good coffee. The coffee cups they have switched to are unique since they are all one piece and say that they're fully compostable/recyclable on the packaging. I love the concept, though they are a bit hot to hold for a long period of time if you take your coffee to go. There's limited seating, but it adds to the charming feeling of the shop. read more

I wanted to like Sefton Coffee Co., but honestly, I wouldn't go back. The vibes are nice and the place has a cute, creative feel, but the coffee itself just didn't hit the mark. It seemed like they were trying to be overly creative or unique, but in the process, the variety felt lacking and the flavor was flat. My partner and I drank our cups and immediately had to make a pit stop at Dunkin' just to get something with a little actual flavor. Cute atmosphere, but when it comes to coffee, this one misses the mark. read more

I will preface with the fact that I am not an avid coffee drinker. However, Sefton has one of my favorite coffees ever - the iced honey breve. It is likely too sweet for a true coffee drinker. They also have teas, pastries, and sandwiches. There is seating, though limited. I will also note it's pretty difficult for me to visit as their hours are later than most coffee shops. They're open from 9-4 M-F. read more

Super yummy iced mocha on a hot day! And in an ingenious no plastic drinking vessel, how great for the environment! Staff was friendly and helpful, and the vibe inside was really great. Very eclectic and artistic - definitely grabbing a second drink to go! read more

Sensational, small coffee shop that still manages to have adequate seating. The espresso drinks were great, and they had some high-quality food. The staff were friendly. Definitely get the "ham + jam" sandwich! read more

Stopped in here for coffee and breakfast sandwich while visiting for a music festival. Couldn't have been more pleased..... the coffee drinks were on point and the sandwich was perfect. This place also has a relaxing vibe inside. Definitely drop in if you're in the neighborhood. read more

Cute little coffee shop that also sells pastries, some bottled wine and beer. Some street parking out front ane some parking garages as well. Outside tables with 2 seats available and some seating inside. They sell some Richmond and coffee souvenirs too. I ordered a Coconut Rose Latte and a Ham and Jam sandwich. The latte was delicious and you really get the rose come through. I loved the Ham and Jam sandwich. The apples and Jam that came with it paired really well together. Super friendly staff, would definitely come back. read more

Coffee was delicious! You get a good amount for the price and I like the more eco friendly cups. Would definitely recommend to try!

I found this cafe on Yelp. The cafe offers a curated experience of food, drinks, and treats. It's a "West Elm-ish" coffee scene. A nice and creamy ambiance. I think I met the owner behind the counter. She greeted me warmly. (Note: I didn't know this for certain. She just seemed like she had an ownership stake in the cafe. There might be more than one owner.) I asked about the various coffee offerings on the menu before settling on a banana coffee smoothie. The owner says she discovered the drink while visiting Costa Rica. Outcome - It was a good drink! Keep it up! read more

I love Sefton's but sadly I've had issues with my last two orders. I just got a tomato, basil mozzarella sandwich today, and there was no basil or lettuce on it. Disappointed! read more

So happy I was able to try this cute little coffee shop! They hosted an event on a Sunday and the shop was packed!! Even with all of the people ordering coffee they were super friendly and were getting drink orders out so quickly! I ordered the cafe leche and my partner ordered the honey and spice latte. Both drinks were absolutely delicious. Can't wait to come back and try some food items!! Thankful for this pro-watermelon coffee shop in Richmond! read more

I discovered Sefton Coffee for the first time when I moved downtown during the pandemic. Both a blessing and curse to live directly across from Sefton. Blessing because this is one of my favorite local coffee shops in Richmond. Curse because it's tempting to get coffee here each morning. I ordered an iced cafe leche latte (sweetened condensed milk similar to caramel). Great taste, not too sweet. There's only one size for an iced option, but I'm usually able to split that into two servings. I also tried their blueberry white chocolate latte, which is a unique flavor, but just not my liking. I ordered twice on the online ordering website, thinking I could wait 10 minutes and it'd be ready when I walked across the street, but my drink wasn't made until I arrived. I felt this defeated the whole purpose of ordering ahead of time. Their exterior gives off a coffee shop vibe. They have a small table/chairs surrounded by plants (great background for your instagram posts). read more

I got the honey + spice latte with oat milk and it was so good! The inside of the shop is super cute; they have lots of little souvenir type things to buy- pens, little decorations, snacks, etc. I think the owners are a husband and wife based on the conversation I overheard but for the 5 minutes I was in the shop, the woman seemed to know at least 3 of the people, so it seems like they have a nice little community and/or have become friends with regulars. I would definitely go back if I lived here! read more

Truly such a gem! They have the most delicious cardamom buns and chai lattes and the owners are so incredibly kind! Check them out!

Back home I drive 25 min once a week to a coffee shop as good as this one. Imagine my surprise to find this little spot right behind my hotel while visiting Richmond! I went 4/6 days I was there. They were closed my first day and having never been before, I forgot about them the next day. On the 3rd day of my trip I went and returned every day until I left. This place is a gem! They use pure ingredients and will use less sugar per request. Yes, real sugar. No pumps of flavorings. All flavors are real ingredients. Service is super friendly and quick. FYI, it's a small shop. They also have wine, some food options, and trinkets. read more

I ordered a cappuccino and it tasted like burned coffee from a vending machine. Not much room to sit and the chairs are just metal stools which are not comfortable. read more

One of the coziest coffee shops in RVA, with a very kind couple who owns it. The staff is all welcoming to its customers, and I love the shop's involvement in both the local and international community. Perfect place to just sit down outside and drink a coffee. read more

Adorable little coffee shop. Quaint and quiet. Best lavender latte I have ever had. Grab a peanut butter granola bar while you're there too.

I've been to Sefton a couple times pre-covid but this is my first time during the pandemic. I always loved the little café vibes here at Sefton with the artsy aesthetics, clear tables, lots of greenery, and cute wooden chairs on the street. I also found their drinks to be very creative with different unique flavors and themes!! Last time I had this lavender matcha latte, which radiated the respective flavors but the matcha wasn't blended completely so there were some chunks at the bottom. Today, I initially wanted to try their spicy dark chocolate mocha, but they ran out! So I opted for the Rosehip blacked ice tea and it was quite interesting!! I'm not too familiar with rosehip but the tea tasted like "ginseng" but with black tea? The tea itself had lots of little spices which made drink very refreshing! The prices were great and the staff members were all very nice. I look forward to going back for more cool and unique drinks! read more

My group of about 12 people bombarded this coffee shop after a long day at the Capitol, but they quickly accommodated us. I love that there's a little artisanal shop within; they sell cutesy items and fancy wine. Everyone I was with got coffee or lattes, chai teas, and everyone raved about the deliciousness of it all. There's some serious ambiguous depth of type flavor to the vanilla latte. I truly loved it. read more

Very disappointed. We were walking back from lunch and wanted to grab a quick coffee...I've walked past this place, and it always looked very inviting... It's a small place and there where a few people in front of us when we ordered. But we waited for almost 15-20mins! The barista was making drinks randomly and it looked really unorganized... Finally, when the line was cleared and customers had left, I finally get my second drink order. And, by the way, please wear gloves when you're preparing food for customers. This place looks like a great place and could have great potential, but unless they get organized with their service, I will not come back. Sorry. read more

The only coffee shop I'll go to I really adore this place always attention to detail and it's spotless inside

Delicious! I have an orange honey coldbrew with oatmilk. The vibes and decor at Sefton are super cute and cozy. They had a letter writing event today to urge our politicians to act on current affairs, which was a great community event. Overall loved the whole experience despite how busy it was. read more

There's nothing regular about The Sefton Coffee Co. This independent coffee shop located in RVA's financial/government district is a pleasant alternative to a well-known coffee giant. Prices are comparable but Sefton outshines on flavor and service. Staff is personable and professional. House-made syrup makes the lavender latte irresistible. I like to add an extra shot of espresso on early mornings or slow afternoons. The only drawback I have found is that it is a small space and can become very close at busy times. Fortunately the staff is speedy so the wait isn't long. read more
