Stopped by Art & Coffee to grab a snack and a drink while I was in the area. I was expecting a…read morebasic coffee shop with maybe some art on the walls. But I was greeted with a colorful large space instead. This place has everything creative from a gift shop with so many unique items, to a large open studio space in the back and a cafe area with drinks/food items. The food items offered are a little limited to mainly breakfast items and sandwiches but the grilled cheese I ordered was the best piece of nostalgia I could have. It was buttery and toasted to perfection. The drink menu is extensive with something for everyone, they also have a variety of locally baked pastries/goods for sale. In addition to my sandwich I got the lavender lemonade lotus drink and a red velvet cake pop. All delicious! The staff was very friendly and even answered my questions about how the open studio worked as I ordered. I will definitely be back to paint something fun and maybe indulge my inner child with another grilled cheese!

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.

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,

The space itself was clean and nicely decorated, though it's pretty small inside. When I walked in, it smelled like the food would be amazing but the actual taste didn't match. The drinks were heavy on the veggie flavor, especially the ones with beets. The beet taste was overpowering and made it hard to enjoy the drink. I know it's a juice bar but I was hoping for more balance and freshness in the flavors. I also tried the avocado toast and didn't enjoy it. It had way too many peppers which made it spicier than expected and the avocado texture was off. It reminded me of mashed potatoes instead of fresh, creamy avocado. I hate leaving negative reviews but I believe in being honest. This spot had great service and a cute interior but the food and drinks just weren't for me. Mind you... I'm vegetarian. I won't be back.

My husband previously brought home a juice and immunity shots, which I really liked, so when we were in the area, we decided to stop by. The owner and the young man working alongside him were incredibly inviting and friendly, making the experience even better. We ordered the beet juice and two breakfast sandwiches--mine with scrambled eggs, Swiss cheese, spinach, and pesto on whole grain bread, while my husband opted for sourdough. Everything was delicious and freshly made. The environment was clean and gave off a refreshing, healthy vibe as soon as we walked in. Definitely a place we'd return to!

The service was very friendly throughout my visit and really appreciated the attentiveness from the sever. I ended up getting a hot Charcoal Mocha because it seemed like something you can't get anywhere else, it has activated charcoal, espresso, cocoa powder & a touch of coconut oil. I love that they serve their drinks out of fun mugs, it feels homey. To eat, I got the Charter Colony sandwich once I noticed they offered gluten free bread. They have a great game selection and play area for kids and I think this would be a great place to catch up with a friend. Will be back!

They have a lot of seating and the overall aesthetic is great. I also understand they serve ice cream and a variety of other drinks, including alcohol based. They also have food items. Let me just say my review is based solely on my drink because that's the only thing I had. 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. It's too many items that I guess they never get to perfect certain ones.

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.

This place gets BUSY! I met a friend for lunch, her suggestion, as a good place to catch up. She…read moresaid she normally gets some work done there. There were several groups meeting during our visit, around 10am, one of which seemed like a small book club or something. It was cool, but seemed it could be a bit distracting for a working coffee shop vibe. They serve breakfast and lunch. As she frequents here, she challenged the menu, which said no breakfast after 10/1030, and sure enough they said breakfast was served all day. She ordered a breakfast sandwich and I opted to get the chicken salad lunch sandwich. It was different than what I'd say traditional chicken salad would be served as, but it was okay, just unexpected. I got a smoothie for my drink. It was fresh and good. My only gripe is that it was very pricey for what you get. Between our two meals and drinks it was over $60 which is wild for brunch in a cafe style coffee shop.
