What a wonderful community asset!
Nice spot to Lounge eat food and drinks a glass of wine.
Food was kind of meh, but the service was good and prompt. I will return, mostly to support their good mission.
One star because according to the job posting I just found, they only hire evangelical Christians. Yikes.
First time visiting today and I am very impressed. The staff is very friendly and provided excellent service.
I really enjoyed their breakfast. It just needs a tad more flavor.
This cafe is a gem in Richmond! My very first visit I recognized how closely they work with the community. The service is always excellent and the cafe itself is spacious, open air, comfortable and cozy. They have a lovely patio out front in the sunshine with tables and it’s partially covered if you’d prefer the shade.
It’s a quaint, quiet, and relaxed environment. Perfect to work in - they are understaffed but be kind regardless. It’s important to know their mission to give back to the community. Always happy to support local but even more special when it’s for the greater community
Loved the cafe. Food was great. Service was great. Atmosphere great as well. Will be back!
The Front Porch Cafe is outstanding, the food is delicious and the staff were friendly and helpful in recommendations. I would likely not have tried the coconut lentil soup if not for the suggestion from staff ( I believe it was Andre). This cafe is the best part of our office relocating directly across the street. I do not drink lattes but the person I was with got one and told the barista that it was the best one she has ever had with delicious froth.
The good: great coffee and ambiance. Always love a coffee shop with several seating options. Locations has ample parking. The bad: I got the breakfast sliders and added ham. The potatoes were terribly dry and charred. The sliders were okay but definitely not worth the $. Wish they'd slightly toasted the bread, the scrambled eggs were falling out which made them so messy/hard to eat. I would definitely go back here for the drinks and ambiance but maybe stick to the bakery items.
There’s a surprisingly large number of folk…experiencing success across many walks of life while running the neutral halls of some fortune 5 companies and settling into their corner office…. allthewhile contemplating giving it all up. Why? To chase a dream….a dream that doesn’t make sense like the most exciting of love affairs…a dream not nearly as deep as MLK orated but with a similar level of passion…a dream of owning a CAFE! To me…The Front Porch Cafe is the architectural and aesthetic portrayal of what most peoples “dream cafe” would look like. High industrial looking ceilings. Exposed Brick. Subtly spinning ceiling fans moving the arabica aromatic air just enough. Homely furniture. Culture. History. Triumph. Branded Merchandise. Wonderful walls graced by provocative art and beautiful faces. This was it. I walked in and approached the counter. Took a bit to get greeted but the perfectly mounted menu and enticing offerings stole my focus. I hate being disappointed when something sounds good and doesn’t deliver so I always like to start simple and let that speak to me before diving into the deeper dishes.. I ordered the Egg & Cheese English Muffin and a Cup of that Drip Drip. The Coffee was mild/smooth and had a very unique flavor not to be confused with any of the subpar large coffee chains. It was its own thang and that’s a good thang. Delicious sounding teas were offered as well. I was never asked if I was dining in or taking out but I sat and sipped my Joe while absorbing the ambiance. Approx 420 seconds later the food arrived to my table in a take out container and plastic bag. Ehhh…wrong assumption but I quickly undressed the grub and was pleased to see that potatoes were part of the package. Overall, the fare was fair. The eggs, the unmelted slice of cheddar and the potatoes were all not very hot and not overly flavorful but I was hungry and just shoved it in my face. I wanted more…. Not more food….not even more coffee at the moment. Just more fr
Great service and atmosphere!
Sonder Event Co. recently booked Front Porch Cafe for CoFlow's open house. We were impressed by the incredible customer service, and of course the food and coffee was delicious!
Good coffee & solid cookies
Great for a light meal or a coffee date.
Wonderful place, very active in the Churchill community. Great portions for the price and a damn good cappuccino!
My latte was SOOO good. Very creamy and not bitter like so many other beans. The vibe was cool, loved the architecture. The menu says they do a pour over, but they no longer offer that option, which was one of the reasons we came in the first place. So that was a bummer! Went with a drip instead, but wasn’t impressed when they emptied one carafe and then topped it off with some fresh. We might have caught the employees on an off day… would definitely go back for the latte!!
The vanilla oat milk latte is my favorite!
I really liked the atmosphere and supporting this small business, but the food wasn’t that great and my pickle was forgotten with my sandwich. However, good prices for everything I got.
