CoRo Coffee Roastery
2322 Fifth St, Richmond, CA
Crema's Take
“This Richmond roastery earns serious devotion for its thoughtfully crafted espresso drinks and inviting aesthetic, from their uniquely designed coffee cups to table service that lets you settle in without hovering at the counter. The space draws a committed crowd of remote workers and coffee enthusiasts, though it does get cozy and the pace can be leisurely—perfect if you're there to linger over a pour over or cortado, less ideal if you're rushing. Fair warning: their specialty drinks like the golden milk matcha seem to need some consistency work, so stick with what they do best: their espresso-forward drinks where the care in their beans really shines.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Wifi.

Coffee is amazing. Baristas were super friendly and patient. The space is a little small and definitely crowded with a lot of remote workers. If it was a little bigger I would give the place a 5. However love that they do have a parking lot!
Beautiful coffee shop, you can really tell who ever runs it put a lot of effort into making things nice. Even their coffee cups are super cute and unique. Only thing was I was hoping they would have toast available as shown in one of the photos here, but from what I could tell…
Not what I was expected by reviews. First, it is very slow. You will wait a long time to get your coffee or latte. This place is pricey. Pastries were good. Coffee was OK, capuchino was bitter taste. Latte was OK.
Updated 3/13/25 - Another stellar cappuccino and cortado with more fine beans to take home. The service is excellent and they bring the beverages and food to your table so no need to stand waiting. Morning sun basks tables outside for a superb waking experience. Go. Now. …
