Crema's Take

El Tiny Cafe is a beloved neighborhood gem in Richmond that proves great coffee doesn't need to be complicated—their strong, straightforward brews pair perfectly with inventive breakfast fare like basil bagel sandwiches and chorizo burritos that punch way above their price point. The warm, genuinely kind staff keeps a steady stream of regulars coming back, though fair warning: the cozy interior runs a bit dim and intimate. Whether you're grabbing a Vietnamese latte or an authentic matcha, this tiny spot nails the balance between quality and quick, unpretentious morning fuel.

Wonderful SMALL coffee shop. They make good strong coffee. Nothing too fancy but it hits the spot. Starker bakery pasteries, bagel sandwiches ( try the basil), and tiny breakfast burritos with a veggies option.

I love everyone at el tiny! Great, quick coffee! Delicious pastries! Their tiny burritos are a perfect, cheap filling brekky. Only minor negative point is it feels a little gloomy inside - not sure why, maybe dark walk or low lighting. I’d go more if it was brighter! Also they shut kinda early.

I ordered a vanilla latte and a morning sandwich with egg, no tomato on a plain bagel. To say the sandwich was good is an understatement. There was so much flavor in that sandwich. The last bite was just as good as the first. The coffee was fresh and with just the right punch. The staff were very attentive and helpful. I highly recommend this spot! They also have sweet breads every now and then. I can’t wait to bring my family here when they visit!

We got a Vietnamese latte, Mexican mocha, chorizo burrito, and chipotle sandwich for about $26. The sandwich was sooo fresh, flavorful, and practically melted in my mouth. The burrito was smaller than I’m used to, but it was also amazingly seasoned and delicious! Both drinks were smooth, flavorful, and tastefully sweet without being overpowering. The service, atmosphere, prices, and food are all 10/10 and make me want to come back daily.

The people who work there were so nice and the chorizo burrito was incredible. Matcha was authentic and easily customizable. Oatmeal was perfect with fresh fruit. Overall, a deserving 5 stars.
