    Came by during a Saturday morning and it was very busy. I got a speciality latte, there pollinator($6) and it was made in about 7 mins. The latte was really good! I enjoyed the right sweet to coffee ratio. The syrup they used definitely made this drink stand out to other shops. Inside was very busy and loud. Overall a fantastic cafe with great coffee!

    Met my daughter for Saturday morning coffee. What a great place. Warm and welcoming ambiance and staff. Great food and awesome coffee. Place was busy but no wait for a table or for our orders. Great place and can't wait to come back.

    The lily sandwich
    Samara S.

    Probably one of my favorite cafes in RVA that offers both a mean latte and an extensive food menu. Stir crazy is one of those places that all the locals know about and is extremely busy on the weekends, for good reason. As an iced latte fanatic, some of my favorites include the gingerbread and pollinator lattes. Only thing is, as a muslim who prefers eating halal, I wish that they'd have more food options without bacon/sausage or at least that they'd be open to doing more substitutions. The lily sandwich and the egg and cheese biscuits are my go-to's though!

    Chicken bahn mi

    I love this coffee shop! Stopped in here after a Yelp event and got a hazelnut latte & chicken bahn mi sandwich. Despite being very busy, my to-go lunch came out quickly. Great flavors & the bread was so soft. The latte was piping hot and delicious. 10/10 recommend. Plenty of street parking in the area & lots of seating inside & out.

    The biscuit I had here was EXACTLY what I needed. Moist, and perfectly buttery. As someone who absolutely loves breakfast sandwiches and biscuits, I can confidently say this one was top tier. The flavors were spot on! There's a good amount of indoor seating, but it's clear everyone around the area knows this place is good! It can't get a tiny bit busy but so worth the wait. I'm already looking forward to coming back and trying more from the menu. This spot is definitely going on my go-to list!

    I've been going to Stir Crazy for a minute. The ambiance is always nice, even when it's packed. My recommendation is to come earlier rather than later if you're not a big fan of crowds. The pastries are always good, no matter which ones you grab. Their breakfast sandwiches are as well. And of course, I love their drinks. I'm a big iced latte gal myself

    Forgot to take the "before" pic of the country ham biscuit. You tell me what I thought of it!

    Second time here and I like this spot.. Both times had a biscuit and coffee. The BEC biscuit was great. Tried the country ham biscuit the second time. Flaky biscuit, salty ham, sweet apple butter and cheddar cheese (added egg on mine). First time I ordered to go but I dined in this time. Service was great both times was great. Friendly staff and quick turnaround on my food. Great scene too. Enjoyed sitting here and sipping my well made black eye with steamed cream. The menu is full of a variety of sandwiches and drinks. Stop in, if you nearby...or far away. Worth the trip!

    Very cute and affordable spot in Bellevue! I went Saturday for lunch and it was delicious! I got the Italian sub, macaroni salad and a green smoothie. There sandwiches all topped out at around 10 dollars which is unheard of today. The staff was very friendly and service was prompt. It had a neighborhood feel which was very nice!

    Came to Stir Crazy for the first time on a beautiful Saturday morning. The place was PACKED. All of the indoor and outdoor seating was taken and at some points the line to order was almost to the door. The staff were super friendly and for as busy as they were the food and drinks came out very quickly. They have a really large menu for a cafe, lots of sandwich options and breakfast options too. Oh how I want to give 4 stars but after this visit I can only give 3. Like I said the service was incredible, no notes. Unfortunately the sandwich I ordered just wasn't hitting. I ordered the Cali with the potato salad. My partner ordered the Italian and I was so jealous of his meal, his sandwich was really really good. We also ordered iced vanilla lattes which were very very milky, like barely brown almost white in color. I went back and ordered a quad espresso to add to our lattes which did make them better. I definitely want to give this cafe another shot, I want to love it so badly since we live so close and the staff were soooo friendly. Will update once we come back!

    The sweetest little cafe in lakeside! There's tons of natural light, the staff is present and friendly, the art is beautiful and the food is delicious. I loved the Italian sub. It's a great spot to have a working lunch!

    Hot chai
    Ellie T.

    Wonderful cozy cafe! I ordered the maple iced latte with oat milk which was flavorful and creamy! I consumed my drink too fast to take a picture. Pricing is affordable. The people who worked there were very nice and accommodating. My friend ordered a hot chai which is pictured! Great place in a cute neighborhood.

    If you're in Lakeside, this is the coffee spot to go! They had a line to the door, very busy but I received my food and chai latte - hot and ready - within 10 minutes. The bacon, egg and cheese on an everything bagel was delicious and flavorful. The chai latte had a generous and surprising amount of foam, beautifully sweet and the perfect temperature to drink right away. Loved coming here and will be coming back again!

    Great place for morning coffee! If I lived in the area, I would be here every day. During a mid-January 2023 business trip to Richmond, I was staying at a hotel about an 8-minute drive away from John Bryan Park (where I went for a morning jog), and found this cafe through Yelp. First, it's easy to find street parking as it's in a residential neighborhood with a mix of apartments, retail shops, and single family bungalow style houses. Second, the interior is pleasant and would be a nice place to work. Third, the coffee (regular drip) is awesome here. Overall, the service was friendly and professional. If you're in this neighborhood north of downtown Richmond and seeking good coffee, be sure to give this place a try!

    Why no more chocolate or coffee muffins? Everytime I want a muffin its a vegan or a bran muffin. No blueberry or cranberry orange. No coffee cake, or cinnamon rolls, come on this is a coffee shop. And no oatmeal all winter whats up with that?

    Things change, Mike. Most businesses, especially small, local restaurants and coffee shops have had to revise and revamp their menus since Covid hit to take smaller staffs and ever-increasing food costs into account. Our blueberry muffins are…

    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.

    Abi's Books and Brews is the perfect combination of coffee,books and records. If I miss anything…read moreit's because I was fixated on the books. 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.

    Walked in on a Saturday morning that was also a holiday. We were told that the wait time was ~40…read moreminutes but it was ~25-30 minutes. 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.

    A friend and I stopped by one morning for a quick lunch, and the cafe was packed! There was a 20…read moreminute for a table, so we opted to eat at the bar in the back. 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 used to go to Sugar & Twine all the time before Covid. I hadn't been back in years, so it was…read moresuch a pleasant surprise to return to Richmond and visit Sugar & Twine again and see what it's become. I love the decor, and the seating area feels appropriate for the space. It still has that community, shared vibe that I remember. The baristas are so nice and answered my questions without hesitation, even with a line. We tried the turmeric ginger latte, both caffeinated and decaf, and wow, really good. As always, their pastries are amazing. I also really appreciated that they asked if the almond horn was for a gluten allergy so they could change their gloves. It's the little things!

    My parents and I stumbled upon this bakery while exploring Richmond this morning, and I was…read moreimmediately impressed by the diversity of options they have. One of the things I instantly noticed on the menu was their vegan breakfast sandwich with a homemade bean-based sausage patty. I got myself an egg and cheese sandwich on a buttermilk biscuit (delicious, by the way) with pepper jack cheese, veggies (tomato, lettuce, and avocado), and for a dollar extra, one of their vegan breakfast sausage patties. I was immediately impressed by how flavorful the patty was- you get a crispness upon the first bite and then the creaminess of the beans afterwards. It was absolutely incredible in a way I can't even describe. I also got the Thai iced coffee, which tasted as sweet as a typical Thai iced tea, yet in coffee form. I may only be spending a few days in Richmond, but I'm absolutely coming back next time I'm here to try more things. DIVINE! The woman behind the counter was super sweet too. If you're in Richmond, run here!
