The bagel I had was delicious, and the mimosa was spot on; not too much juice, just the perfect balance! The dining area was clean, quiet, and comfortable, making it a great spot to catch up with a friend or get some work done on your laptop. Overall, we really enjoyed our experience and would definitely recommend this place!

My absolute favorite "hidden gem" from here is the sfogliatelle! They make them fresh, from scratch, and only every few months. I typically get quite a few to last me a few days a though they are not *as good day 2-4. The coffee is always delicious and I love that they rotate flavors seasonally. If they don't have a flavor I like, praline or maple cream are my go tos.

In my estimation, there is no better bakery in RVA right now. I'll only write of what I've tried…read more From the perfect baguettes who's peaks are worthy of ride-back-home consumption, to their beautiful hand pies with perfect filling, to their buttery and flaky chocolate croissants, this place is worth the long lines one typically encounters. They make a beautiful sourdough country loaf that is fantastic to bring home, slice in 1/2" slices with a sharp bread knife, put in a gallon freezer bag, and freeze for amazing sandwiches and treats during the week. Try a Spanish pan con tomate with one of these slices slightly toasted, with a rub of garlic, salt, and good e.v. olive oil, and you'll be happy as a clam. (What does that even mean?) Or use said previously frozen slices as a dessert treat with your sleepy time tea, toasted with butter and good local raw honey drizzled on it. Bathrooms are very clean. Next up, I will go early to sit down and eat there, trying one of the incredible looking breakfast sandwiches and/or salads that folks seem elated to be eating.

Indoor is bright with natural lighting along with patio seating for outdoor lovers. All bread made in house which gives Janet's that added touch. My favorites are the sourdough cinnamon roll, hand pockets, biyani, and croissant. Nice rotation of deserts, so the experience is different with each visit. I recently tried one of their sandwiches for the first time - The Shirley, which was pleasant - flavorful, light, and summer friendly only to learn that Shirley got the boot with the creation of their new menu! Parking can be challenging during peak hours but it's worth the wait. #bringbackshirley

I went here this week in between classes because it's right on campus, it was super convenient…read more I've always seen this place but this is the first time I went in to try it. The cafe is huge, there is so much space to do homework, hangout or read. It was super busy when I went I'm guessing because it was the first day of class! The staff were super helpful when I asked questions about the coffees they had. I got the brown sugar latte and it was sooo good!! You could taste the coffee and the cinnamon but the drink wasn't too sweet, it was great I'll definitely be coming back!

The Adeni chai was just as good as I expected, but the kunafa was a bit disappointing--it was quite dry and not to my taste. If you live nearby or are within walking distance, it's definitely worth checking out. If you're driving, keep in mind that parking is paid and costs about $2.50 per hour. I'd definitely come back, but next time I'll probably get my order to go.

Mostly bar food on the menu, yet some intriguing and tasty options I saw. Like the avocado toast and crab cake sandwich. For me it was a Cowboy burger and wine night. Came out perfectly cooked to order at medium with deliciously crunchy fries. Malbec wine went great with the burger. They offer happy hour specials of $2 off beer selection. They serve until 11 pm. Also if staying in the hotel the coffee and tea are offered here. This is to encourage everyone to come down and take part in the communal environment. If you're Downtown come check this spot out, and most definitely if you're staying at the hotel, enjoy a happy hour special and make some friends!

I'm not sure what they did differently than what other coffee shops do, but it just didn't taste like what I ordered. Also, it's difficult to do work here since the music is extremely loud, overpowering the music I want to listen to on my headphones. So it's a great place to socialize and hang out! They have a few games in the back room. But if you're here to study or work, I wouldn't recommend it. The employees are super nice and kind, so I give an extra star for their hospitality.

And I would have gone an extra time too, if they weren't closed on Sunday. I got the lox sandwich on a plain bagel both times and it was delicious. I only wish they had more bagel options to choose from. On my first visit, I got an Iced Matcha Latte unsweetened, which I recommend adding at least a little bit of sweeter in the future to bring out the matcha flavor. I also had an oatmilk latte that was solid, but I got a cortado on my following visit so I could get more espresso punch. Great place, will definitely be back!

They have a bar that doubles as a coffee bar that also sells wine and beer in the evening? Tons of parking outside and maybe tables to choose from even though the place was pretty filled up! All the syrups for coffee were house made which I LOVE!! a lot of places in Richmond don't do house made syrups so that already puts this place on top. I got an iced latte with vanilla bean and my partner ordered an iced coffee with brown sugar cinnamon. 10/10 on both. Seriously. One of the best lattes I've had in this area and the prices were LOW compared to other cafes. My 12 oz latte was under $6 and so was my partners coffee. The people were nice who work here as well and seemed to know what they were doing.
