    Sunday morning
    Pat C.

    Went here on a Sunday morning. There is no dedicated parking space; it will on the street. The spot is cozy and I imagine when it gets busy, there won't be enough seats for everyone. There are a variety of waffles to choose from. You can also customize your own. Their waffles were good but not extraordinary. Piggy egg berry waffle had bacon, eggs, strawberry and blueberries. Grandma waffle had eggs, breaded chicken strips, strawberry and blueberries. House chicken and waffle is breaded chicken tenders with Cap'n Crunch on top. You can get the waffles half or whole. Service was quick and staff were friendly.

    Tot Waffle with scrambled eggs, onions & peppers

    Patrick & Kat at the front of house were phenomenal. Even with a ton of orders, they managed things flawlessly and were super polite. Every order is obviously made fresh and takes some time to come out of their visibly small but efficient kitchen. But boy oh boy, the food was everything I hoped for and then some. We ordered one sweet (half moon, chocolate sauce, nutella, powdered sugar, strawberries) & one savory waffle (half moon tater tot, scrambled eggs, sautéed onions & peppers) and they were worth the 15 minute wait. It does get randomly busy on weekend mornings so plan to wait for a table. What an experience in RVA

    I paid $27 for two waffles. They opened up three bags: one for the frozen premade tenders, one bag for tater tots, and one bag for pancake mix. I gave this place two stars because, honestly, for the price we paid, we were really let down. We had a tater tot waffle and a plain waffle (just dusted with powdered sugar), plus chicken tenders, and it was all just reheated frozen food. The tenders were cold on the inside and tasted like frozen tenders dropped straight into grease. One bright spot was there was one super friendly person inside, but the rest of the counter staff were pretty dismissive and rushed us through ordering, even though we were the first ones there and excited to try. If we were looking for a new go-to spot, this is definitely not it.

    I love places like this - local, creative, low key and friendly. On a long walk with the pup and craving something sweet. It was by chance we were near the place and decided to try it out. There is a huge menu of all kinds of creative waffle with fixings. There is sweet, savory and sweet savory! I chose the latter with a captain berry waffle. It has captain crunch, blueberries, chocolate sauce and bacon bits. I like the mixture of savory and sweet, though I didn't get any flavor out of the powdered form captain crunch. The inside is, just like any old building, tight and busy. So I enjoyed sitting outside with the pup on a beautiful sunny day.

    Great location . Really good coffees . Went to Richmond downtown and was looking for a good coffee spot and wanted breakfast .. found this shop. From outside it didn't look like a breakfast restaurant but the indoor was really good . Lots of seats inside and outside to sit and eat . Asked for a latte with extra shot and it was really good . They obviously had tons of waffles but I'm not a big waffle guy :( I like bagels and other breakfast varieties but they didn't have it. Wish my kids came for waffles here , since there were tons of varieties and not that expensive ... parking was tough. Had to park few blocks away (paid parking) to come to this place . Nice experience overalll.

    I loved this meal so much. The waffles are fluffy and light. The half moon is the perfect amount for breakfast. I got the chicken and waffle with egg and chorizo. I already want another one. My friend got a gluten free waffle and was very pleased as well. It's a small shop so keep in mind you wanna be in and out semi quickly. I did not get to try their lattes this time but they all sounded delicious. Everyone working was welcoming and helpful. I would recommend this business to others.

    This place was great! I'd give 5 stars but we had to wait quite a while for food ( more than 30min - but, we couldn't be upset because it was crazy busy)! The staff were friendly and accommodating. Standing room only inside (but we were able to eat outside), and the waffle dishes were die for. My kids proclaimed them the best waffles ever (x2 make your own with whipped cream, sprinkles and assorted kid toppings); my husband got the half meats and I got the half veggie. I practically inhaled mine! Definitely a must eat if you're in Richmond.

    As an avid waffle lover I can confidently say these waffles are incredible. Whatever settings their waffle irons are on is perfect. Super fun menu and lots of options for savory or sweet waffle toppings. Great place for a casual brunch or breakfast.

    This restaurant is so cute. The drinks, the cake, and the vibe are outstanding. The cashier was super nice and helpful in recommendations. First time trying and will definitely try again.

    We are always on the hunt for good Waffles and Capitol Waffle did not disappoint It was a hard week for us with the loss of a precious family member, rushed travel from Florida and the emotional drag of grief So for those who don't know I am Vegan so rushed travel means no time to research and no time prepare food for travel. so I went without a real meal for 3 days and having a tossed salad is not a real meal yet for 3 days that was all I had. One meal per day and it was a tossed salad So finding Vegan waffles for breakfast was such a treat! I had multiple choices and my husband who wanted chicken and waffles could order that as well. The hours are perfect for breakfast and the coffee was excellent The service was very good, the young lady at the front explained the options and the service was quick and perfect for the morning

Upon entering, I was reminded of a 1950s pharmacy by the humongous "Prescriptions" sign hanging above the bar, and the antique furniture, bar, and barstools splayed throughout Tarrant's. There was a solid crowd at the bar; it's clear there is a regular crowd that sits and hangs out here. We were promptly seated by a young blonde woman in the dining section (behind the bar). Our server, Nadia, was an enchanting brunette, training another young server, Sierra. She took our drink orders and gave us plenty of time to review the menu, checking in after a few minutes to see if we were ready. We finally decided, my partner ordered the 10" Bianca White (pizza), and I chose the Sailor Sandwich. Unfortunately, the sailor was not in the cards for me, and Nadia suggested the Reuben as they were similar. They brought out breadsticks while we waited, and the food arrived within 10-15 minutes. I was pleased with the atmosphere, the old-fashioned chandeliers, the large mirror, the floral paintings, and the rustic frames, all of which added to the restaurant's stated aesthetic. The pizza was hot and savory, while the Reuben had buttery toast, crispy corned beef, and a light smattering of sauerkraut (TBH, I didn't even notice the sauerkraut). For dessert, we indulged in the upside-down walnut apple pie, served with vanilla ice cream, all made from scratch, and beautifully delicate. Our time at Tarrant's Cafe seemed like a stroll into the past; the only indication of modernity was the ordering kiosk used by the staff. We truly enjoyed our time and had deeply meaningful conversations without enduring the hustle and bustle or the rowdy cacophony of an intense crowd.

No discretion- announced the details of a remaining balance of someone in our group , loudly.

The situation was however de-escalated. Maybe work on delivery of uncomfortable information.
