Black Hand Coffee Co

I got the 16oz Flavor Latte (with Gingerbread) and soy milk. My drink was made super fast! The place is small, seating is a bit limited for groups larger than two people. Just about everyone in here is doing work on laptops so it’s fairly quiet. The barista was a little straight forward and didn’t care much to sprinkle in some extra friendliness but it didn’t ruin my experience at all.

I wish they used in-house mugs or “for here” mugs. It would reduce some waste!

EDIT: they do have in house mugs, but they are only for smaller lattes and drinks :). 👍🏼

Overall the coffee was very good and I am very happy! I would recommend this place for people looking to study or wind down and relax with a coffee.

Off topic: lots of windows for natural light, yet the room was still very dark for whatever reason. Some people might want a brighter atmosphere to work in so I thought I might mention the setting.

Very cute little place with quality coffee. Got a cookie butter iced latte that was delicious and a tasty everything bagel sandwich. Very happy to have this place in the neighborhood!

(review from a month ago) an impromptu trip to richmond led me to this coffee shop i had been dying to go to! i wish we could've been able to go in and check out the place, but due to covid restrictions, we couldn't. thankfully it was a really nice day, and we sat outside in this cute little nook next to the shop.

i had a dirty chai with oat milk, and my boyfriend had a vanilla iced latte. a 10/10, and the girl who worked there was lovely as well! i will be definitely be coming back!

We absolutely love Black Hand! Definitely appreciate that they are one of the few truly dog-friendly coffee shops in RVA. We go every Sunday now for the delicious bagel sandwiches and lattes. Great espresso, friendly staff, and even though it’s usually busy- service is quick.

Support this local small business!!! A shop that has stayed true to their roots to serve the people of Richmond. They sell high quality single-origin beans for the best price in town, full pound bags and not $20 for 3/4 pound bag *ahem*unlike all the other local roasters i.e. lamplighter, blanchard’s, recluse, and the rest. Not only a better price point on coffee beans, but they have done great in their selecting and roasting, tastes better than the beans I bought from Blanchards and is up there with my favorite beans where I currently live. I won’t go anywhere else for a hot cup or a bag of whole bean coffee in Richmond. Thank you Black Hand!!!!

Bustling spot with great coffee! We hung out for a few cups shortly after opening on a Friday morning and enjoyed the busy atmosphere. Seems very in touch with the neighborhood with lots of flyers/posters for local events. Could definitely be a regular here!

The bagel breakfast sandwich and chai are awesome! Super quick service

A fun little corner coffee shop with a simple menu, friendly staff, and busy on a Saturday morning (a good sign). Decaf and milk alternatives available. Their Costa Rica roast is tasty. Plus, you've gotta love the Skyrim reference.

Black Hand is a great local spot! Love to drop by and see Jason and all the other smiling faces. Drop by for a morning snack & a coffee!

Top notch small coffee shop. Good music that is not too loud, good outdoor space, decent wireless.
