Riverbend Roastery

Great local spot. Coffee was crisp and tasty, but the bagel took the top spot. I opted for ‘The Captain’. Lox, cream cheese, onion and capers. Everything in the proper proportions and all complimented one another. Was an amazing experience. I’d highly recommend this little joint simply for the quaint, simplistic decor, but they back it up with great quality fare. A+. Keep up the great work! Can’t wait to try more soon!

Really great little coffee shop/lunch spot/breakfast place! The new owners have done a wonderful job of thoughtfully setting up the space. There are outlets at each seating area, so you can easily plug in your laptop to get some work done. The window seat area even has a couple electrical outlets. Free WiFi. Great service! The plants add a nice touch to the space as well. It's usually pretty easy to find a parking spot on the street. There are also outdoor tables and benches, and a dog bowl of water outside. Highly recommend the Church Hill iced coffee here. You can also use their gift cards at Liberty Public House since they're owned by the same people. Love that they decided to do that!

Very cute, bright, plant-filled coffee shop! Fast and friendly service and delicious coffee drinks. I had a Veg Head sandwich that tasted fresh with lots of veggies and soft, fresh bread. For coffee I opted for a soy latte with lots of spices in it (forget the name but it was one of the speciality lattes). Will definitely be back!!

I'm visiting from Seattle and really needed something besides dessert for breakfast, and this was the right choice. I got the veggie sandwich and added an egg. It was perfect! For my chaser, I got an iced pumpkin spice latte and it's mild, earthy, and not too sweet. Fabulous! Their credit card machine was down, but I was on a time crunch and had ran uphill to get here, so I was sweaty and frantic, missed the sign, was a pain in their butt with my order, but the barista was so kind and helped me out. *THANK YOU*

Stopped by here while I was in town and really enjoyed it! I got a cold brew with oat milk and lavender syrup and I enjoyed it. The place is super cute and I could totally see myself sitting here and working for a while. Plus the barista that helped us out was really friendly! Recommend.

i stumbled upon this coffee shop while walking around Church Hill and it is such a hidden gem!

The space is like vintage but modern at the same time, and I love how they designed the high top tables on a long bench to give us remote workers plenty of space to work and enjoy a coffee. BUT it’s also very welcoming to a family coming for breakfast or friends meeting to play board games. The coffee is top tier and i’m slightly obsessed the breakfast sandwiches. Or maybe it’s the bacon that i love… i’m not sure!

And finally the staff is super sweet, they always make me feel like a million bucks and they seem to know everyone in the neighborhood by name. This place feels like walking into your grandma’s kitchen and i hope it is here in RVA for the long haul!

Home to the BEST chai latte in Richmond (and possibly the state of Virginia). Their sandwiches are also delicious and reasonably priced--I especially recommend their peaches and cream one. Finally, the space is beautiful and well-lit, with plenty of outlets so people can work and enjoy the ambiance of the space.

Update 5/31/23: Docking a star for the super rude attitude from the two employees working when they messed up my and my partner's order Wednesday morning. No apology or anything--just shouting and an angry re-do to the correct order.

Great neighborhood coffee shop serving destination coffee shop coffee.

Excellent breakfast sandwiches as well.

One bonus is that they stay open until 6 pm, so you can enjoy a coffee at leisure in the afternoon.

Nicest staff coffee shop staff I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. Coffee and pastries are also excellent! Get the almond coconut muffin if they have it!!

I've been twice, and been mostly impressed. I've tried the hot and the iced honeybee, both delicious, and enjoyed the blueberry scone, 3/3, but i also tried the egg and cheese on an English muffin and it was definitely the worst one I've ever had. I'm still rating the place well bc it's just one sandwich. but i Strongly Advise against it. egg was like.. a loaf of overcooked scrambled egg. cheese wasn't melted and bread wasn't toasty just warm. so definitely come here and get coffee and a different sandwich
