This is my regular coffee shop and I love it here! The staff is incredible and so is the building! It's located right in downtown and has LOTS of parking. I got their new sandwich, the blackbird! It is SO GOOD! Everything on it is sooo crunchy and fresh from the pickled onions to the arugula. It has a blackberry honey mustard that I absolutely fiend over and they make it in house! I also got a white chocolate lavender matcha and it's delicious as well. Demolition has the best quality matcha in the area for sure! They also have a pretty large patio for a good time in the sun. Stop going to corporate chain coffee shops and shop small by going to Demo!
The build your own sandwich here is such a great way to start your day because it includes all your favorite options. I have the bacon, egg and cheese bagel and it was toasted with plenty of bacon and warm cheese. The cold brew is strong and the latte was very coffee forward so if you like a sweeter coffee like me an extra pump of flavor is a great idea! The service was great, all the employees are very helpful and more than welcome to give recommendations. The shop itself is a great place to sit and chat or work on your computer.
I love this coffee shop so much & have to visit every time I'm in Petersburg. We visited the area back in December & I just had to try to Orange Mocha. So darn good!! The coffee shop has a great vibe & atmosphere, with plenty of seating.
Just visiting from SD, California where the coffee shops are such a big competition. Cons: My croissant was a little too toasty for me. Sausage and egg were a tad too cooked for me. Not a huge fan. Prob will never eat anymore of their food items. Pros: Staff was sweet Decor was hip Plenty of seating Latte was delightful Ample parking across the way.
On a cool day in Petersburg why not warm up with a little something warm. I choose. Dirty Banana drink and banana nut muffin. So let me go back to plenty of parking. As you enter inside be aware of the stately dressed man to your left, pay your respects and proceed on. I wasted no time as I consumed my delicious drink. I loved that the banana came dirty and wasn't hidden by the other ingredients. So I chose to sit outside and enjoy the air and serenity I noticed the bulletin board of businesses and other helpful information. I was amazed at my banana nut muffin was flavorful and fresh. This coffee spot is family, date & business friendly. Also if you can't unplug from your electronic devices it is internal friendly.
Was really wanting a bagel but being new to the area wasn't sure where to go. We didn't want to go too far from colonial heights so I debated between all the nearby places. There's lots of parking close and the place has a cool look to it. The inside was on the smaller side but there was still a good amount of seating and looked to be a lot of outdoor seating for the warmer months. I got a Bacon egg and cheese with their scallion cream cheese and my husband got the bacon egg and cheese on a croissant. We also decided to get coffees. I'm sooo glad we got coffees because they were amazing! We both got iced eggnog lattes and loved them. I wasn't a huge fan of my sandwich. The bagel itself was alright although a different texture than I'm used to. I'm not a big fan of sheet pan eggs but the bacon was great. I also LOVED the cream cheese! The croissant looked better. The service was unremarkable. Not bad just very to the point and unmemorable. I'd definitely go back and try something else food wise and definitely get more coffee!
Service was great! Super cute place! Food was kind of bland and the cold brew was watered down.
I absolutely have to get coffee here every time I'm in Petersburg!! I came to town with my sister over the weekend to take on some history & of course, I had to take her to the amazing coffee shop! I had a black sesame mocha, hot, with oat milk!! So delicious!! My sister had an iced caramel latte. The service was good & we loved the vibe of the coffee shop. Plenty of places do sit & relax. They have an amazing patio that we will check out next time.
I so wanted to give them 5-stars, I just couldn't do it. Two lattes... one plain, one with what was supposed to be a little white chocolate, but was so cloyingly sweet I couldn't finish it. I ordered an egg and muffin, my husband had a bagel with cream cheese (they informed us after they served it, that there was no butter/margarine) and a cinnamon roll. Egg tasted processed and microwaved to death, although they assured me that they are fresh cracked. Muffin too, was overly sweet. Husband said bagel was dry, cinnamon roll was meh, and coffee was fair, not great. The atmosphere however is wonderful, which is sad, since the coffee and food are not. Probably will not return. Disappointing.
Great coffee and pastries in a classic 1800s brick building. Cool location. Coffee selection excellent, lattes, etc. Service was quick and friendly. A very short distance from I-95 - worth the detour. Ample parking across the street.
The no dairy (dark chocolate!) hot cocoa is the BOMB!! Be sure to specify oat milk, too. Not very crowded, @ 9AM. Eclectic decor; parking lot across the street. Unfortunately out of oatmeal.
Hidden Gem in the middle of Virginia. Traveling for school and was looking for a spot to hangout that didn't feel like I was in the middle of nowhere, I found it. Great coffee, awesome food, cool atmosphere.
I am obsessed with this coffee shop. Granted, I've only tried one of their drinks (both iced and hot), but I adored it. If I lived closer to this spot, it would for sure be my favorite local haunt. They have a wonderful atmosphere, fantastic baristas, strong wifi, delicious seasonal drinks, and great music. It's located on Bank St and there is a free parking lot right across the street. There are plenty of seating options available and there are two gender neutral single stall bathrooms. I asked the barista for their seasonal specials and he shared a list of delicious sounding drinks. I was unsure if I should go with my signature DIY latte or one of their seasonal ones and he kindly gave me the push to try their coconut cardamom latte I was curious about. I'm so happy he did. It was divine! They accidentally made me an iced one when I wanted a hot. I said it was fine and they still were so sweet and made the hot one. Both were incredible. I came to work on my laptop like most of the people there at the time. The wifi was strong. I adored the playlist. Songs by SZA, Kali Uchis, The Neighborhood, and the like popped up. I found myself happily singing along. I highly recommend checking out this coffeeshop, even if it's out of your way. There are other wonderful bizs like Buttermilk Bake Shop nearby too.

Quiet atmosphere for conversations. Very clean dining room. Coffee was fresh and tasty. There was a great variety of flavors either iced or hot. The customer service was friendly. Highly recommend for a nice quiet mid-day date spot. read more

Stopped in to get some work done after a customer appointment this morning. Had the sausage, egg and cheese croissant with a toffee latte. Everything was delicious. I love the ambience with the exposed brick. It's the quintessential coffee shop in a historic town like Petersburg. read more

Coffee is really good, not too sweet. The Asiago bagel was so tasty and flavorful. The egg has a herby taste which people may not like. However overall really good food and drinks. The staff is sweet and it's a really cute place to hangout. I highly recommend if you're in the area! read more
We stumbled upon this place as we were actually looking for donuts. I got a peppermint white mocha both times I've been, and I can say I prefer it iced. The first time left such a great impression on me, I knew I had to stop back again when I knew I was going to be in the area. Unfortunately the second time was just mediocre. I didn't feel welcomed inside and my coffee was just okay. It was not stirred either (hot) so that was very disappointing. All the syrup was at the bottom and the last few sips shocked me at the sweetness overload. I don't think I'll be stopping here again, but I'd say it's a nice option instead of opting for chain coffee. read more

Superb coffee in the heart of downtown Petersburg - a city that is on the up and up. I visited here in late October 2022 as part of a business trip. If you're driving nearly on I-95, this is a lovely spot for a bit of caffeine. You can ignore the bombed out building (part of the old reputation of Petersburg), and drive by the Petersburg YMCA (gorgeous new building) on your way to Demolition Coffee - in a lovingly restored section of downtown. Parking is a little tricky - you can go to the lot that is catty-corner to the store front. I just ordered a regular cup of coffee with 2% milk, but they have fancy drinks with espresso as well. The interior is cute and has a welcoming vibe. The exterior is graced by a bench and mannequin statue wearing a "Petersburg vs. Everybody" sweatshirt (which is available for sale). This motto reflects the community's spirit of resilience. After grabbing a cup of coffee, consider a visit to the Petersburg Public Library (if it's open) to see local artwork. The only blemish of Demolition Coffee is the counter service can be very slow if it's crowded or if a few customers in front of you have ordered fancy time-intensive drinks. Like many places in fall 2022, the Great Resignation has made it difficult to find lots of staff. Be sure to pack an ounce of patience if you're here with lots of people at the same time, read more
I. Love. Demolition. The coffee is always great. We've been a couple handfuls of times. Sometimes to grab things to go, others to sit inside and enjoy the quiet vibes of a warm coffeehouse, and we've even sat outside at the patio to work or hang out with our dog when we walk over (after grabbing treats from Buttermilk on the way). The staff is always helpful, quick, and polite and are great at making recommendations. read more

Do they have large vegetarian selection?
Some potentially vegetarian choices, not what I'd describe as "large". You can access the standard menu via the website and decide for yourself:…
Never been to the area, but is parking on the street near it or do they have a lot behind it?
Huge parking lot right across the street.
Is there enough seating for a group of 11 at this place?
There are plenty of tables/seating inside and on the patio...However, Demolition gets super busy you may have to wait a few minutes for people to finish eating! :) It's definitely worth the wait though.
