They navigated me to some good honey lavender macchiato and one of their signature sandwiches. Food: top tier. So I'm not a sandwich eater but I wanted to try their food. I got the turkey with bacon, provolone, lettuce and tomato on rye. Born and raised in NY, I could never find a decent sandwich in Richmond. This was perfect. And the CHIPS!!! Delish. Def worth a trip back!! 9 out of 10.

I was super excited to find out there's a new café in Midlothian, where you don't have to drive to…read moreRichmond. The bright and open environment is very welcoming. 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.

We split an egg sandwich that we ordered on a croissant. We got turkey, egg, cheese, and tomato. The sandwich was well balanced and the croissant was buttery and flakey. The only downside is the price is on the higher side. Our server was kind and it appeared she was the only one making the drinks so we felt bad for her. The cafe was packed so I'm happy business is booming!

They have a bar that doubles as a coffee bar that also sells wine and beer in the evening? Tons of parking outside and maybe tables to choose from even though the place was pretty filled up! All the syrups for coffee were house made which I LOVE!! a lot of places in Richmond don't do house made syrups so that already puts this place on top. I got an iced latte with vanilla bean and my partner ordered an iced coffee with brown sugar cinnamon. 10/10 on both. Seriously. One of the best lattes I've had in this area and the prices were LOW compared to other cafes. My 12 oz latte was under $6 and so was my partners coffee. The people were nice who work here as well and seemed to know what they were doing.

For a Saturday night, the atmosphere was lively but not overwhelmingly so. It is a small space so I was very happy that there were still side tables available to sit at & enjoy our food & conversation. The staff were very welcoming, helpful & courteous. & although my husband were probably the most aged patrons in the place, we never felt out of place & I sincerely appreciated that we were able to go there & feel comfortable being a part of the Saturday night community. IYKYK As for the food. The Fried mushrooms were absolutely yummy. They were crunchy on the outside with a light & fluffy texture to the mushrooms inside. We ordered the Chicago Dog & the Sloppy Joe Dog & Black Lodge has the BEST hot dogs I have ever tasted! & believe me I have eaten a lot of hotdogs in my lifetime. Their hotdogs are juicy & full of flavor. My husband is still talking about their hotdogs a day later & how we have to go back again[this was his first visit]. For drinks we had the Jager-Rita, Miller High Life Pony & Green Tea shot. They all were great & complimented our food perfectly. The Green tea shot was so smooth, I definitely recommend trying it If shots are your forte & even if they are not. I am not a shot person but I really enjoyed this particular drink. I definitely recommend Black Lodge if you enjoy a very casual, laid back bar/cafe type of restaurant that has food & drinks that are very upscale but reasonably priced. Also, the atmosphere is very bright & bubbly. A perfect Saturday night hang out type of vibe. So once again I definitely highly recommend giving this establishment a try!

Unfortunately, my experience at The Benedict in Chester, Virginia, was extremely disappointing. The…read moreservice was incredibly slow, and the food and drinks were nowhere near worth the hype. I ordered an espresso martini (that I had to return), eggs, turkey bacon, and an English muffin. The eggs were overcooked and lacked any freshness. My friend ordered the shrimp and grits and described them as completely unseasoned. The grits tasted like plain white grits with shrimp simply placed on top, rather than a flavorful, savory dish. Another friend ordered a burger, which arrived overcooked with burnt buns. Overall, everything tasted as though it had been prepared ahead of time and left sitting on a hot plate or reheated in an oven before being served. Nothing tasted freshly made, and the quality simply did not match the reputation or expectations. Sadly, this was a very underwhelming dining experience, and I would not return or recommend it based on our visit.

Was planning on ordering coffee for my family, but before doing so I walked in with my baby to use…read morethe restroom and change her. Unfortunately, there wasn't even a changing table available. Instead, I was stopped and loudly reprimanded by a large, intimidating male employee in front of a line full of customers because I had apparently "used the wrong door" and "skipped the line." When I explained that I needed to use the restroom before ordering, I was told I should have used the other entrance -- despite the fact that the door I was directed toward had a clearly posted sign saying "Please Use Other Door." The entire interaction was humiliating and completely unnecessary. No customer, especially a mother carrying a baby, should be publicly shamed over something so minor and confusing. To make matters worse, the bathroom itself was filthy. Even if I had attempted to change my daughter on the floor due to the lack of a changing station, it would have felt unsanitary and unsafe. Businesses love to say they support women and families, but too often mothers are treated like an inconvenience the moment they actually need basic accommodation and decency.
