I have only one thing to say about T-Caf: J'ADORE! T-Caf is one of the most charming places you can find in Scott's Addition! This French cafe/tearoom makes this Richmond girl's heart (and tummy) happy. As a tea fiend, I love that they have a huge selection of teas to pick from. I really enjoy their organic five peaks and organic earl grey here. In true tea fashion, they offer cream, honey, or sugar to compliment your tea too! My favorite part about this shop is the mix and match aesthetic. The furniture is all different and so are the cups and dishes. I collect vintage tea cups and swoon over the tea cups they have here. The owners are so lovely and sweet! They'll even let you practice your French with them. This is a great place to take your Mom or Grandma, but it's also a great spot to cowork too! It's intimate and quiet enough for both activities. Looking for a small bite? The canapé crevette avocat coriandre and canapé roquefort poire are so delightful and yummy! The creme caramel is tasty too. I highly recommend this spot! read more

What a cozy cafe with two rooms with plenty of seating from couches to small tables. Outlets are spread throughout and strong wifi is free and easy to access. (Ask staff for the password.) Popping in for lunch, I enjoyed their croque monsieur with the duck-fat fried potatoes. The potatoes were well seasoned and tasty dipped in a side of mayo. (I grew up in Europe.) The strawberry lemonade was refreshing and cold! read more

Had the cutest time at a tea party event hosted by a friend, and I'm still thinking about it! The tea? Chef's kiss. So many yummy options and every cup was perfection. The vibes were immaculate--think cozy, charming, and just the right amount of fancy. And okay, random but important--the tomato soup was SO good. Like, unexpectedly amazing. Major shoutout to the staff too--they were absolute pros, somehow juggling two parties at once and still making everything feel seamless and special. 10/10 would sip (and slurp) again. read more

It's always a joy to find another tea room in the city! Evidently this one has been open for awhile, wonder if wonders!! Located in the Scott's Addition area, this eclectic French style cafe/tearoom had a welcoming exterior with its bright yellow brick facade beckoning us inside! The interior was sort of a hodge podge of old and new furniture, little tables here and there, some couch level, others regular tables, and still others nestled in cozy corners. Their were some nooks with two Queen Anne chairs and a tiny teak table, some brocade settees and leather sofas, some rattan chairs with glass tables, occasional chairs in various fabrics encircling a cool table topped with old vinyl records! Anywhere you choose to sit has a fabulous view of modern paintings and interesting retro décor. There's a QR code to scan for the menu. And what a diverse menu it was! From crepes, to quiches, canapés to tartines, viennoiseries and true French Toast... you're bound to find something here to delight your palate! We chose the Quiche Lorraine, Quiche poulet poivron with side salads. Incredible and exquisitely edible! The quiche was amazing... flaky crust, rich egg filling with savory cheese and bacon. The salad of tomato, cucumber, avocado, and arugula had the most wonderfully tangy dressing/sauce I've ever tasted! A mixture of orange, lemon, dill, honey and olive oil. So refreshing and light! The desserts are to die for! I had the gateau à l'orange cake and it was delectable, dense and tasty! My friend had the creme caramel which she found just ok! I want to go back for their croissants! The tea and coffee menus are extensive! We chose the Earl Grey tea, but here you can certainly be more adventurous as the selections are varied and intriguing! The teacups were gorgeous and brought on lovely trays by the owner's young boys. They were so polite and hospitable! The service was a smidgen slow but so worth the wait & also meticulous and kind. The French chef, Maggy, also served us and she was so sweet and personable. So expect to relax and lounge and don't be in a hurry... it's like you are on European time! And it's amazing! The owner Théodore (I hope I spelled that correctly) has an interesting story as to how he came to settle in RVA! The restroom was immaculate and the brass faucet blew my mind! The whole building is rather old, so these cool furnishings and fixtures just add the the vintage vibe. This place will definitely be one of my regular haunts... as a matter of fact, I'm craving it right now!! Postscript: I did go back today! I had a repeat performance of my previous meal and it was even more exquisite than before! We also shared the avocado & egg on French bread and it was remarkably good! We added a pain au chocolat for dessert and it was buttery, chocolatey, and fabulous! I also ordered 3 plain croissants to go - a must have!! Trust me!! We also ordered a black cold tea - it was a lapsang souchong which was an organic smoked tea... as the menu states, it's an acquired taste. It tastes like a bonfire smells, smooth and smoky. We preferred the bergamot hints of the Earl Grey but it was fun to try something new! Impeccable service and food! And I love the dreamy French music in the background! Oui oui!! Viva la France! read more

All the stars! I somehow had missed this place until today, but it's officially a new favorite. In the middle of the afternoon on a Thursday, it was empty and quiet--absolute heaven for me to take a work break and read my book for a bit (in a super comfy couch, btw--no crappy metal chairs here!). This place is a MUST-visit for readers. The owner, Theodore, is lovely and made a great cappuccino for me to enjoy. They have a simple coffee/espresso drinks menu (beans from recluse, right around the corner!), and a fairly robust food menu (a necessity for coffee shops IMO) with French toast, hummus plates, tartines, and more. I truly can't wait to go back. read more

This place is amazing, it has so much personality - unique tea/coffee shop and such a gem - you have to stop in and just grab a drink and chill. The owner theodore (?) is great and his vision speaks through the decor and ambiance. Great place to grab a well priced drink and/or snack to read, study, or hang out. I ordered a chai tea latte with oat milk and it was delicious. The cucumber and hummus was great too along with the hot tea. Plenty of outlets too! Place just rocks. read more

A quaint tea (and coffee) shop in Scott's Addition. My party of 10 was looking for tea time and I'm glad I found this place. I called ahead of time to select teas and finger foods. The owner was nice and accommodating. I told him our budget and dietary restrictions and he prepared a variety of options. Our seating area was ready when we arrived and he checked on us several times. Highly recommend for working, reading, or catching up with a friend! There are 2 rooms - one filled with sunlight and the other darker. The menu on the website includes descriptions. read more

Just stopped in here for the first time today! I had some iced black vanilla tea and a croque madame with potatoes and it was AMAZING! The staff and owner were all so welcoming and kind, and the whole experience felt so personable and cozy. They have couches/chairs or tables to choose from, and a section with some board games, and the overall ambience was great. The owner Nancy was very helpful with informing us on the wine options they have and she's very knowledgeable. This is definitely going to become a regularly place of mine! read more

Love this place! The atmosphere is so cute and cozy and the food is DELICIOUS! Love being able to get a pot of tea too! Have been here for Sunday brunch and to co-work on a weekday and have loved it all around. A real gem of a spot, hope it gets more buzz! read more

My friend said she wanted to come to lunch here and I was a little skeptical because I had never heard of it before. It just opened up in Scott's and we were near by so we all decided to head over and have some lunch. When you walk in you see two rooms full of different tables and chairs. You might choose wooden chairs or you might choose comfy chairs... take your pick. We were greeted by the chef who said we could sit anywhere. Disclaimer: if you are coming here in a hurry that's not going to work. This is slow, European style dining. That being said, it's not a five star from me because the communication wasn't great. I felt bad for ordering anything because I felt like a bit of a burden. I think either the chef has a bit of a language barrier or doesn't normally work on the floor. Second disclaimer: This is a tea cafe. Please do not go in except big portions, Americans. Everything was delicious! I started off with the jasmine tea and it was sooooo good. Sitting there drinking it with my teapot that I could pour out of when I wanted my tea to be hotter was so nice. It's also nice be served tea in dainty tea cups. I ordered a cheese and turkey croissant that was hot and buttery. I also ordered a chocolate cake. My friends really enjoyed their sandwiches as well. There's great Wi-Fi here for getting work done and it's quite cozy. I recommend a visit! read more

I found this gem while visiting Richmond for the weekend, and I'll definitely return the next time I'm in town. It was the best food that I had the entire trip, and sipping their amazing tea was a nice, relaxing way to spend a snowy Sunday afternoon. The service was also friendly and accommodating. I wish that I lived closer so I could try everything on their menu. The spinach & goat cheese quiche was delicious, with a perfectly flaky crust, and the turkey and cheese croissant was mouth-watering. We finished with a creme brûlée, baked fresh that morning, and it was so good that I wanted to order a second one. The tea selection was on point too, so both my fiancé and I were able to order a pot of each of our favorite teas. read more

Atmosphere felt like la a library not like a cafe. Very faint music played once in the background. Place was mostly empty. Food took over 45 minutes to arrive, portions were very small. Service was good extremely slow, we got coffee after 15 minutes of ordering then waited 5 minutes for sugar and creamer, then after a half he we got the French toast which was tiny. All food was served on dessert plates (the 3 French toast pieces fit on one plate!). We then waited another 5 minutes for the waitress to bring the syrup then another 5 minutes for the rest of our order. On the plus side, it's got fun eclectic furniture. And my avocado toast was tasty. read more

If your reading this review you can stop here and just go to this adorable place!!! It's the newest and greatest place I've been to in Richmond in forever!! This lovely brand new tea and coffee shop used to be a vintage furniture shop, and the interior echos that history with an impressive collection of comfy chairs and cozy corners. It's an intimate place to have a date or catch up with a friend, or escape with a book! I was fortunate to get to talk to the owner for a while and he has an incredible story, and is so kind. The tea, coffee, and pastries we had were delicious, and I genuinely can't wait to go back! read more

Came for tea and small bites with a friend. A nice jazzy soundtrack played in the background to create a relaxing atmosphere. They have an eclectic selection of seating which we found fun and welcoming. Staff was friendly and they have a wonderful selection of teas as well as little snacks. Our open face sandwiches (which I believe they call sofas) were fresh and delightful. The cookies had a nice crispness perfect for accompanying tea. The real highlight was my matcha cream crepe. Crepes are hard to come by in Richmond so I was excited to see them on the menu. I will certainly be back. A nice place to hang with a friend or do a little reading/journaling. read more

What an adorable place for tea aficionados! Very chill cafe vibe with eclectic chairs to match. The service can be a little slow, so whenever you do have the server's attention, place your order! They have a ton of different teas and really tasty foods to snack on. I got the ricotta and pear tartine and the croissant fromage - turkey. Both were very good, but the croissant was *chef's kiss* perfection. Even as a tea fan, their tea menu was a bit overwhelming - I had no idea where to start, but our server helped guide us. I unfortunately can't recall which tea I got (whoops) but it was good. Excited to return and try more! read more

Truly French - chef's from Paris & her skills & hospitality are on that level. Smallish place, quirky but comfortable furnishings, current French music in the background. Was there for breakfast, croissant was still warm and had a wonderful tartine of French bread, ricotta, thin sliced pears & honey, French-press coffee. Light fare, fairly priced, reminded of a traditional start to the day in Europe. read more

The hospitality here was excellent. It is a nice quiet place to relax and study and the faint music creates a great environment to enjoy a coffee or tea. The food offered here pairs nicely with a tea or coffee and is a perfect complimentary portion. If you are used to a loud and buzzing cafe experience I would suggest staying at Starbucks. If you are looking for a large variety of teas and to have an enhanced experience that is calm and relaxing then this is the place for you! read more

I had the privilege of stopping by the other day and I have so many good things to say about this cafe. It's very nice and has an amazing ambience with plenty of seating.

Wonderful! T-Caf is a well-kept secret in Scott's Addition, but should not be. The owner (who is from France) has a wide selection of teas as well as an impressive small plates menu. I assembled a mini-platter of open-faced sandwiches -- one with avocado (of course), another with goat cheese, nuts, and honey, and the final one with goat cheese and fig jam. Perfect for a light lunch. The interior is expertly designed with tasteful yet eclectic mid-century furniture. Outdoor seating is fairly basic, but it's nicely shaded and in a quieter part of the neighborhood. It's a great place for spending the afternoon. I know I'll be back! read more
