Ironclad Coffee Roasters & Baking Co., Shockoe Bottom

The atmosphere was great, a lot of people were here studying, working, reading, and meeting up. It was a great place for me to study and their specialty coffee drinks are amazing! The bagels taste like NY and I had to get a piece of coffee cake before I left, too!!

The Yama drip was, as promised, perfectly strength'd. The vegan breakfast sandwich was a welcome surprise (and delicious!) among a full pastry cabinet. If I lived in Richmond, I'd be here every morning.

It's a cute little coffee shop. The furniture inside looked comfortable. They actually have a little bar area too. The staff were really nice when I went inside.

There was a sign for shoe shining? So I guess someone comes in and does that too on the weekends.

I might visit again if I'm on that side of town.

Delicious coffees and even better food. We had the Biscuit sandwich (huge!), cinnamon roll (also, huge!) and the cookie (huge!)— all were amazing.

Absolutely fantastic coffee - we went for the fun ones. We had the sweet potato cappuccino and the smoked sweet bacon, which were fabulous.

Such a great place offering specialty flavors of lattes that all sounded amazing. I got the holiday gingersnap cookie latte with oat milk and it was sooo delicious! The rich espresso flavor mixed with their milk and flavor add-ins was a special treat I won’t forget. I also bought an apple cider donut and it was so tasty! It was the perfect sweet/slightly salty dessert to pair with the latte. Their prices were very reasonable as well! Highly recommend if you’re looking for something different than your typical local coffee shop.

A cute little cafe near the 17th street farmer’s market. We wanted to try their food, but their kitchen was closed by the time we got there. They said that it closes at 2PM on Sunday. Staff was friendly and we had a nice chat.

We did get to try two of their drinks— both were iced. The chai tea had a kick/ spice to it and the London fog had a unique flavor. Not sure how their hot drinks are. I’d like to try some of their food someday. An aesthetic cafe in Richmond.

One of the best Matcha drinks I’ve had, and the latte was pretty good. Has a wonderful atmosphere even though the music was slightly loud. The decor is fresh and fitting and the service was fast and friendly. Definitely recommend.

Great peppermint latte. I wasn’t a huge fan of the iced coffee. Nice baristas. I was passing through town, so a great spot to drink local.

The staff was very helpful answering questions & I was so excited to be able to try the cookie latte. I was very pleasantly surprised to find that it wasn't too sweet for me as most flavored lattes usually are (yes, I know a cookie latte that isn't ridiculously sweet sounds impossible, but they have done it) and the specialty lemonade was a beautiful & delicious.
