Roastology

Great coffee shop, I got a cold brew with lavender syrup and oat milk and it was amazing! Definitely recommend. Some of their drink specials are hit or miss though. But in my experience if you don't enjoy something they're more than happy to replace it with a different drink if you aren't satisfied!

Housed in a former auto shop, the interior is cool and eclectic. There’s definitely a convivial atmosphere. Warm and inviting. If you’re familiar with Hygge, this place has it. However, the staff aren’t nearly as warm and welcoming as the atmosphere. The woman who took my order seemed indifferent. Not unfriendly, but not welcoming. I found this to be true with the other staff as well. Maybe it’s because I’m not a local. I did witness staff being very friendly and welcoming with regulars. Not a huge complaint, but it did kill some of the vibe they have created in this coffee shop.
Regarding food, I ordered a buttermilk biscuit and a drip coffee. The coffee was good, but the biscuit - not so much. It was served cold. Not room temperature, but cold. It came with no butter, no jam or jelly. The biscuit was dense and tough.
My final analysis: good coffee, great vibe, but not the friendliest place (unless you’re a regular) with mediocre food.
Maybe I hit them on a bad day. Your mileage may vary.

BEST coffee in Richmond! The wait is a bit long but really worth it. Their regular coffee is just as good as one of their speciality lattes. A must try and a very good location to socialize with friends.

Easily, my favorite coffeehouse in Richmond. I typically get espresso, which in this case was put in this beautiful ceramic cup accompanied by a glass of effervescent water, and placed on a wonderful tray made from black slate. We tried some of the other espresso base drinks, which were all delicious. We were a bit hungry, so we indulged in avocado toasts which really hit the spot. It was delicious.

Decent drink and disappointing blueberry muffin. After biting into it twice, I began to wonder if there were blueberries and kept being thrown off by how dry it was. Not worth the price. The Chai Latte was decent. I give the place 3 stars because they are doing their best. Cool building, but you can’t go in.

Lovely coffee shop with a great vibe. Their oat cappuccino was very nice. It was strong enough and filling. They close so early (3pm) so we couldn’t order any food. Great experience otherwise would definitely recommend !

I visited Roastology many times when they were located in Southside, but not so much after they moved to their current location because it is not on my daily path. I was reminded how much I missed them when I visited again. The coffee is just as good and the pastries are delicious (try the marzipan scone), but the built environment is more polished and accommodating. There are lots of varieties of coffee and teas you can purchase to take home. Customers were sitting, chatting, reading, working -- obviously very comfortable being there. During nicer weather, the outside patio fronting Cary Street provides plenty of opportunities for watching life drift by.

Poor service. The employee calling out pick up orders was more focused on chatting over uncovered food with friends than attending a very long line. Then was rude to people that asked questions. Food and coffee was nothing special. Not worth a return visit.

Affordable , great drip.

Flavor profiles are always bomb when I buy a bag o’ beans.

May be worth mentioning, it seemed like the Togo lid took to the heat pretty poorly and could taste the plastic, wasn’t crazy but definitely noticeable.

I like this spot! Always friendly and the coffee is really a delicious adventure. Tried the Five Spice Honey Latte (hot) today. First sip was “I think I made a mistake” just creamy foam but, every sip after that has been redemption! Warm spices with a soft honey finish. Smooth and comforting. I needed that. Pricey though, which causes the extra star to stay unchecked.
