My friend and I ended up here because we were on the wrong side for Lulus and it was hot. We walked…read morein and realized this wasn't lulus, but saw they served food and decided to stay. We were standing in line but knew we wanted to dine in. There were 2 people working so we stood on the line because it don't look to be table service. When we finally got to the front of the line, the barista advised us to just sit and the other lady would be with us. We sat and waited, but took forever to be serviced. We gave a little benefit of the doubt because they're were only 2 people, but this place was not packed. We got our food maybe 45mins after initially arriving, and our drinks also took a while. When I finally got my food, it was drenched in oil. Mind you it was an omelette. When I asked about it the waitress said "that's probably how we make it. Do you want a new one?" I said no because it took so long to get the first one. I doubt I'll return.

Whisk sits on the corner of E. Main Street in Richmond, marked by a big black-and-white logo…read morepainted on the brick and a stunning portrait mural wrapping the side of the building. You can't miss it. Step inside and the corner location pays off -- gorgeous afternoon light pouring through a row of vintage stained glass set above the front windows, throwing color all over the pink-and-white interior. Chandelier with little fabric shades, topiary along the ledge, counter seating to watch the street. Charming spot. One small heads-up: the menu is a digital screen, and it wasn't working when I visited -- so you're ordering a bit blind, leaning on the bakery case and whatever the staff can tell you. Not a dealbreaker, but worth knowing going in. And you're really here for the baked goods, which hold up. The kouign-amann was the standout -- deeply caramelized, lacquered, shatteringly flaky with that signature sugar crust. I also grabbed two macarons (a berry-pink one and a teal with chocolate filling) that were exactly right: crisp shell, chewy center, generous filling. No complaints. The case is stocked with range -- lemon bars, quiche, chocolate cherry walnut cookies, confetti sandwich cookies, Florentines, a vegan peanut butter option, pineapple upside-down, and more. Plenty of GF and vegan labeling, which is nice to see. You can watch them pulling fresh trays from the proofer behind the counter. A few other notes: it's a small operation, so selection depends on what's come out of the oven that day, and the working area behind the counter is tight and a little cluttered (charming, but not polished). Corner parking is street-only and that intersection gets busy. Bottom line -- a genuinely good Richmond bakery with real pastry chops and a beautiful corner space. Get the kouign-amann before they sell out.

There is good signage. It's now a take out only establishment since Covid. Two table are available for outdoor seating. Most customers took their orders and walked away. I visited them on a Sunday afternoon just after St. John's let out. It's just one block away and the church Patrick Henry gave a speech. There were a lot of church goers enjoying the business. Proper has a menu in the window to guide customers on choices of savory, or sweet. I wanted one of each. The man at the window was great in providing recommendations. I ordered the steak and cheese as well as the Banoffee. The preparation is already done and the man with assistant moved quickly to complete my order. I enjoyed my treats at their outdoor table and also enjoyed conversation with locals. I started with the steak & cheese which was loaded with meat and cheese. DELICIOUS! Then onto the Banoffee which smelled heavenly of cocoa. Another home run! I love bananas and if you do too this will be enjoyable. So glad I found them open on my visit. There hours are very good, but I have missed them in the Summer before on vacation. Just go, no brainer.

Trashcan was full to the brim. Table tops dirty. It's too small honestly not to be clean. They also have an ant problem.

I'd never seen a market quite like this before. It's not a big brand grocer, serves a neighborhood…read morethat doesn't seem to have one, and offers both a range of conventional products with a decent selection of higher end and niche food items, but also a hot food outlet geared towards southern culture. The crowd very much seemed to be coming out of church services. I found several useful items in a store that was clean, well maintained. It would be on the smaller end for a major grocer, but it's bigger than most specialty food markets. I'm glad it's there. I wish there were more places like it.
