Unfortunately, I've grown tired of seeing the standard bagel or croissant sandwiches everywhere, so I decided to try out Stir Crazy's biscuits and I am absolutely impressed. The biscuits are not too soft that it crumbles in your hands and not too hard where you have to tear it apart when you bite into it. It's nice and fluffy inside which didn't make the eggs and bacon I had fall out as most shop sandwiches do. My latte was nicely brewed and I also decided to grabbed one of their baked treats for later that was incredible! The staff was nice and greeted everyone who came in, no matter how early it was. Everyone served their part very well and bonus to the gentleman who complimented my work shoes even though they were covered in dirt, it made my morning! Definitely will be coming back!

It's stimulating to all of the senses. They have so many different items that you could literally get lost in here, spending hours galavanting.

I left with a bag of allergy relief tea, some beautiful magnets, and other items; however, they have a bevy of personalized items such as perfumes. Do yourself a favor and go!

The space is incredibly comfortable: leather sofas, a relaxed lounge area, and nice seasonal decor. The Jack‑O‑Latte is pumpkin spice vanilla done right: not syrupy, not overly sweet, just balanced enough that you can still taste the beans, and you want to. The repurposed boxcars give the place character, and the parking lot tells the rest of the story...people genuinely like it here. My breakfast burrito tasted surprisingly gourmet, down to the pickled red onions. Coffee is roasted locally and you can tell. It's across from the Catholic church I accidentally pulled into first. Everyone should try it. They get the fundamentals right: if I order a flavor, I don't want a liquid pastry. I want good coffee that can stand on its own. Brick Road Coffee nails it. Nice job. PS: Thank you again to the kind gal who went out of her way to come tell me I was in the wrong (pick up) line and not in the order here one.

The Peanut Butter Macchiato Coffee I ordered may sound weird but it tasted so delicious.

I didn't see on the menu where there were the two choices. Saw the cups after I ordered.

We waited in the indoor area that is connected to a cute store. The walls had graffiti. The waiting area had billiard table, playing cards, other merchandise like t-shirts and some other vintage items. The Moore Street Big Breakfast lives up to its name. It was indeed big: 3 eggs, sausage, bacon, hash browns and grits. It comes with your choice of 2 pancakes, toast, biscuit, or English muffin. The veggie omelet was also very nice. Great diner food and service.

The wait staff were nice and checked in with us throughout service. They were busy, and we did have to ask again for a couple things we asked for when we ordered. Seeing as they were busy, it was understandable. The parking can be difficult to find, but it's not too bad on most days. I ordered a swiss mushroom burger with onion rings on the side, a coke and a mexican mule. I liked the burger, especially the onion rings! I would probably ask for the mushrooms to be a little bit more caramelized though. Serving size was filling and the drink was perfectly strong. They have an extensive menu, and I would love to come back to try more dishes! The cafe decor is retro, and it makes the restaurant feel nostalgic. I think it's great for a group hang if you have a large group, too. There was a big group there when I was there and a few smaller groups of people.

I swear the entire time I was here (~2 hours) the line was extending to the door. It was crazy. After trying my coffee I understood why they're so busy all day. It is my new favorite coffee in Richmond by a long shot. Unfortunately I ended up spilling my coffee on my laptop and am scarred for life and will probably never be back to this location. Obviously this was my fault but still traumatic. Overall, try this place out! It will not disappoint! My absolute favorite coffee in Richmond!

I was a bit disappointed that they only offer whole or oat milk, as I was used to having more milk options (like low fat or nonfat). I can't drink whole milk and I'm not a big fan of oat milk. The barista recommended that I try the oat milk and said if I didn't like the drink, they would make me something else. I asked for light oak milk and hoped for the best. My latte was served in layers, so I got a big blast of oat milk in my first sip, but after I mixed my latte, it tasted so much better. The coconut flavor really came through and offset the oat milk flavor. I was really happy with my drink and with the super helpful barista. I'll for sure be coming back!

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.
