Crema's Take
“The Urban Farmhouse markets itself as a casual breakfast and lunch spot in Shockoe Slip with solid coffee and occasionally good execution—a bagel with homemade cream cheese or a veggie egg sandwich can hit—but the experience is wildly inconsistent, with complaints ranging from unassembled sandwiches and room-temperature smoothies to stale bread and inconsistent quality that doesn't justify the pricing. At 3.8 stars across nearly 900 reviews, this is more of a neighborhood convenience play than a destination, and you should temper expectations accordingly.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, quick-grab. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.

I was craving a Saturday lunch spot in the neighborhood, but everything seemed shuttered for the day, so I ended up at Urban Farmhouse. Big letdown. I ordered their Cuban sandwich, but the bread was stale, and the meat was so scant it barely registered. As for the side of potato…
