Stir Crazy Cafe RVA
4015 MacArthur Ave, Richmond, VA
Crema's Take
“This Richmond gem has earned its stellar reputation as a genuine third-place where you can linger over a honey latte or grab a flaky, buttery biscuit sandwich on your way out—and the staff actually cares enough to recommend drinks based on what you're craving. The vegetarian-friendly breakfast and light menu feels thoughtfully assembled rather than an afterthought, with surprisingly fair prices that match the welcoming, unpretentious vibe of the space itself. Whether you're setting up your laptop for the afternoon or meeting a friend before they leave town, Stir Crazy manages to feel both cozy and energized, the kind of place where the espresso-to-hospitality ratio is genuinely balanced.”

I’ve been on the hunt for a cozy spot to work and eat with tasty vegetarian options and this totally fit the bill! Had a very satisfying egg cheese and veggie sausage biscuit and a bowl of red pepper Gouda soup.
This place is very busy on the weekends, but for good reason! The biscuits are truly incredible, they’re so flaky and buttery and go perfectly as a breakfast sandwich with egg, cheese, and bacon. Additionally, I had a Richmond Fog (black spiced tea with steamed milk and vanilla syrup) that was very flavorful. They were able to make my Richmond Fog decaf which was an extra treat. My wife ordered a cappuccino which she says has been her favorite in RVA so far. Last of all, the prices were very fair, this is by far the cheapest of all the coffee shops I have visited.
we came here for a quick breakfast as friends were leaving town and i could not recommend this cute little shop enough. the food and beverages are incredibly fairly priced (was honestly shocking - like $8 for a breakfast sandwich, $4 for a cappuccino), and everything was absolutely delicious. we will 100% be back
Very nice cafe! I have a delicious honey latte and lox bagel! The bagel had a generous amount of lox and cream cheese and overall was very tasty! The space was really cute and very nice to just hang out and talk for a while with my friend! Will definitely be back!
My boyfriend and I stopped in for brunch on our road trip to DC. I really wanted a coffee so I asked the lady ringing us out what she recommended and she asked if I trusted her to which I replied, "sure"! The pollinator drink was delicious. I'm not normally a fan of cardamom or lavender in drinks but the honey and cinnamon in the drink was so very good. I got the chorizo bagel. The meat was sliced thin so it wasn't overpowering against the everything bagel. And my boyfriend got a bacon, egg and cheese on an everything bagel. I also got the banana walnut scone that was eying me at the counter. Absolutely phenomenal. Definitely recommend this spot.
