Greenbriar Cafe and Coffeehouse

Delicious coffee and breakfast bagel. Husband and wife owners, Meredith and Julius. Love that they have a takeout window.

Great cafe with tasty food. Coffee is always made perfectly and the bagel sandwiches are soooo good! Looking forward to when they fully reopen!

I just had a very rude and inconsiderate experience with an employee of this cafe. I was so happy to return to this place after having the best food and even brought in new customers. I ordered the same exact meal as I did last time but when I was ready to pay, I noticed the price was a little higher than last time. When I ordered my meal, I requested extras of the dill mayo and dressing on the side and the lady checking me out told me that they up charge for them which caused the price difference. I told her that the guy that took my ordered didn’t mention there would be an up charge for them and when I requested them last time, they were given to me complimentary. She basically told me that it didn’t cost that much more so why is it such a big deal for me not to pay for them. Again, I expressed to her why I wasn’t going to pay for them and asked her to remove them from my bill. She responded with an attitude and kept repeating that it’s only a couple of dollars more. She continued to give me awful service, rolling her eyes and didn’t even say anything else to me for the rest of the interaction and on my way out. How inconsiderate could you be? What if I didn’t have any other money to my name? I would’ve appreciated if she just at least comped them for the inconvenience since she didn’t think the price difference was much. That was just awful service and this definitely caused you to lose a customer.

The coffee is good (from Rostov's), the staff is friendly, but, boy, is the service sloooow. It took a half hour to get our food order out -- and there was only one table in front of us. I am withholding a higher rating until they get their act together.

When you get the sausage egg and cheese, bring it to work and people keep commenting how good it smells as they pass by your desk. There is a reason why I’ve been coming here for almost a decade. Keep it up J.

So my fiance brought me home a sandwich and chips after stopping at this place to make me a delivery. After hearing the sandwivh had ridden all over Richmond I was less than enthusiastic until he ooened the box and the smell of some sort of spicey teriyaki caught my attention. I re-toasted the bun, heated the marinated chicken breast and sauteed onions, so moist it was falling apart good. I reassembled it all with tomato and arugula and I am in love. I could not find it on the menue, but if its not it needs to be. Can't wait to visit in person for a fesh version of something deliscious.

So today I had to deliver a cooler to Greenbriar Cafe.
Being that this was my last delivery for today I was asking Mr Green about the type of food that was served because I planned on purchasing something...after installing the cooler and getting everything in place he had 2 to go boxes ready for me and my helper. In only got 1 bite of the sandwich because I have it to my fiance so she wouldn't have to cook but man I tell you it was one of the best I've ever tasted ....and he wouldn't even take my.money for the food.

This place was EXCEPTIONAL.
The coffee was perfect, milk temps and taste in their espresso blend was flawless. The atmosphere is very open and lively.
Customer service was outstanding.

The food is made fresh to order and the drinks are consistently well made and delicious (they have coffee and tea, even tea lattes)! Not to mention to cozy atmosphere and friendly staff. If you are around the VCU/RVA area, definitely stop in and grab something to eat and warm up your day with a cozy cup of whatever you like!

The menu is not up to date, they ask you to view/purchase items via their Facebook page. This is said to be caused by the pandemic in 2019. Owner hasn't updated menu to accommodate for pandemic.
