Cardamom vanilla latte
Lena M.

I'm a huge fan of Grit Coffee. I've been to the Charlottesville location and their other Richmond location. I actually have their beans at home right now. They roast great beans and make high-quality coffee. I've been wanting to check out the Scott's Addition location, and I'm happy I finally did. I might've ordered the wrong thing because I wasn't a fan like I normally am. I decided to try their winter drink special, the cardamom vanilla latte. I found it to just be ok. I think I'll order my regular thing next time which is their mocha. I'm not sure about this location, but they usually make a good matcha latte. My partner and I came here on a Sunday afternoon. It was pretty busy but we were able to find seats. We enjoyed some card games with our coffee. People around us were working on their laptops which makes me think they have good Wi-Fi here. The space is nice and I love all the natural lighting. Another huge plus is that the barista here are extremely kind and wonderful. I'm excited to return and try other things on their menu.

White peach tea and cheese danish

Found this nice coffee shop when looking to change up my study routine. Grit is nestled in the heart of Scott's Addition. I had no trouble finding a parking spot and was able to park right in front of the door. I tried the white peach iced tea and cheese danish. I really enjoyed the flavor of the tea and asked for it sweetened. Personally, I like more sweetener so you will probably need to specify if you like sweet tea like me. The danish was buttery and they even offered to warm it for me! I would definitely go back and enjoy this nice spot! Great for working or studying

I love grit! The Scott's addition location is so spacious the plenty of room to sit with others and catch up or get some work done! The coffee is really good and the baked goods and sandwiches are good as well! The seasonal menu is great! I got the peppermint mocha and it was the right balance of sweet and minty! Can't wait to see what's on the menu next!

Grit's Scott's Addition location opened fairly recently in the new Otis building at Moore/Roseneath. The space is airy and industrial, with lots of cool art to check out. Ordering and picking up is a breeze. My friend and I both got cold brews, which were quite tasty. Lots of people were set up and working in their space, and there was plenty of seating for any occasion. The baristas were prompt and friendly also, and the bathrooms were clean, which always makes me feel better about a place. I'd definitely go back if I'm in SA and in need of a jolt of caffeine in the future.

Very clean and great ambiance to get some work done. I tried the matcha lemonade - hands down the best REAL matcha I've had in Richmond so far.

Scott's is almost all breweries - so it's nice to know there's other drinkable liquids in the area :p This place is very cute and modern on the inside - perfect place to get some work done, people watch, catch up with friends, etc as there is plenty of seating and just an overall relaxing vibe. Coffee was okay - nothing to call home about - but reliable. Wish the parking in the area was better but that's not their fault!

Grit is on the ground level of the lovely OTIS apartment building in Scott's addition RVA- I love going there and sitting inside where there is subtle low tempo house music playing- I love their coffee and staff is great - loft style industrial coffee shop-

Love Grit! I got the Maple Leaf Latte with lite syrup and it was delicious. Got two 1 lb coffee bags for $30. Plenty of seating is available and the baristas were friendly and helpful!

Shauna W.

Great coffee, helpful staff and charming atmosphere. Love coming here for business meetings or just somewhere quiet to get work done ! #rvadivorcecoach

Limited seating, barely any accessible outlets, and an atmosphere that made asking about Wi-Fi and a place to sit feel like an inconvenience. A woman nearby, presumably a regular, leaned over and joked, "They don't want us getting any work done here." I chuckled because, well, that explained a lot. After an unnecessarily long wait, I finally received my $16 "Not Your Karen's Pumpkin Spice Latte," which, ironically, was giving very much your average Karen's pumpkin spice latte. I asked for a double shot of espresso, only to learn they offer four shots instead, for reasons still unclear to me. Quite the pricing and caffeine philosophy for such an underwhelming drink. As an Ethiopian, from the birthplace of coffee, I have absolutely no issue paying a premium for quality. Unfortunately, neither the coffee, service, nor overall experience justified the price. This seems more like a place to say you went to a coffee shop than somewhere to actually enjoy good coffee or get anything done. Thankfully, I found another spot in Richmond with reasonable prices and a more welcoming atmosphere. The coffee there was also fairly average, but at least it was priced accordingly. Premium pricing is one thing. A premium experience would be nice to go with it.

I walked…read moredirectly up to the cashier, who looked right past me without saying a word and then walked away toward the pickup area, where another employee was standing. That employee also completely ignored me, despite the fact that I was clearly standing there waiting to be helped. I was there to pick up a DoorDash order for someone else, but based on the way I was treated, I can guarantee you I will not be choosing to spend my own money at this establishment. I ultimately had to ask another customer who was standing in line if they knew where to pick up a DoorDash order. The entire experience was incredibly dismissive and unprofessional. A simple acknowledgment or, at the very least, "We'll be with you in a moment" would have made a huge difference.

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,

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.

Abi's Books and Brews was such a cozy little place to catch up with a friend. 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.

Upon entering, the books are found along the wall, there are tables and chairs to sit and the coffee is ordered at a counter right in the center of the store. Towards the back, they have a section just for kids and young adults. Also, there are plenty of parking outside. They have new and old books available at decent prices. One of the best things I have ever seen is they have a dedicated turning bookcase for BANNED books of Hanover county. It is a lending library. You choose a book, open it and scan the QR code inside and check off the book you picked. Then, you return it when you're done. No time limit on it. That easy. I am so proud that they are supporting these books and making it easy for anyone to have access to them. On this visit, I borrowed Jodi Picoult's book, Nineteen Minutes. I recommend you come visit and support this coffee/book shop in the VCU area. I definitely recommend it and plan to visit often.
