Lift Coffee Shop & Cafe

Great coffee. Great staff. Great food. They also have alcohol, so coffee shop +. Conveniently located on Broad St in the Arts District. If you head on down, take a few extra minutes and checkout the new Maggie Walker statue at Adams and Broad.

A handful more people inside, at both tables for 4 and a couple at the small bar on their laptops. Music on, but at a reasonable level. The woman who took my order wasn't overly pleasant. No good morning or hello, just ready to take my order and that's what matters. Ordered up a couple egg sandwiches, one on a bagel and another on a croissant, plus their special breakfast burrito and plain oatmeal.

The sandwiches were delicious. However, their vanilla latte tasted like a cleaning product. They also used white marker to label their cups, which comes off on your hands and is potentially toxic.

Great coffee and espresso drinks. Delicious sandwiches and bagels. Eclectic clientele. Friendly, efficient service. During the warm months it's nice to sit at the tables on the sidewalk and watch downtown Richmond go by.

I absolutely love this place and have for years! The love you can literally taste in the food and drinks , and their customer service is always perfect! My Favorites are the hummus veggie sandwich, the fantastic chai lattes, and the hearty soups and salads 💕

In Richmond for a wedding and wanted to check out a local cafe before heading back home. Great shop to check out! My latte was awesome and sandwich was amazing (brie, honey, apple, and egg). So happy we found this place! Made the trip to Richmond extra special. Ps the granola is probably the best I've had before.

They guy who took my order was super nice , complimented me tastefully. A short but pleasant conversation that soothed my anxiety over standing in line and ordering. Excellent pastries, delicious coffee. Highly recommend.

Amazing food, great prices for a quick bite on the go

I don't normally write reviews...at all, but this place was SO AMAZING i just couldnt keep it all to myself.
The atmosphere is super comfortable and friendly, the staff is hip and knowledgeable, and the food and drinks are worth every penny! My favorite's would be the Turkey, Apple, and Brie panini and the Funny Honey panini with my always order of black coffee. They have a great selection of coffees, enough verity for everyone to be left satisfied! If i could give it more than 5 stars i would.

Coffee was odd tasting in comparison to most other fine coffee shops not bad but odd. But the two stars is because its the most expensive iced coffee I have ever seen. 5.98 for and iced coffee not a latte not a cold brew...coffee with syrup and soy milk. Not ethical pricing at all.
