Crema's Take

This Richmond roastery combines serious espresso craftsmanship with a genuinely welcoming atmosphere, where baristas double as coffee educators who actually care about your dietary needs and teach courses on the craft. The industrial-bright space fills with the aroma of beans roasting in-house, and their latte art is legendary among locals—but what really sets them apart is their house-made chai that tastes nothing like typical coffee shop syrups, offering the same thoughtful depth they bring to every cup. It's the kind of place where you can linger over a perfectly poured single-origin or grab a quick drink while chatting with staff who visibly love talking coffee.

Clean store with great coffee beans! The drinks we had were great and the staff was extremely knowledgeable. The barista ensured I didn't have a dairy allergy for my flavoring!

Love this place!! The baristas are very knowledgeable in all things coffee, including teaching coffee courses. Arguably the best latte art in richmond, and the friendliest staff around!

My first visit here was a great one, largely thanks to their excellent house-made chai. It's wonderfully spiced, offering a depth of flavor that goes far beyond typical sweet syrups. I also thoroughly enjoyed the jelly biscuit, which was moist and delicious. Currently, only baked goods are available as the kitchen isn't finished yet.

Great service and atmosphere. They really capture the heart of the coffee scene in Richmond. Beans roasting in the background. Very friendly staff. And the coffee was up to par. I could taste the richness and nuance of the espresso bean through the oatmilk.

There has definitely been a big vibe shift at this location versus the old one. It is far more industrial but is very bright and open. Seating is a little limited which is funny since the location in a warehouse is massive. I do think I’m biased from coming here on a cold winter day, it might feel refreshing in the summer, but it did feel a little uninviting in the winter. The latte was great though, nice foam, good flavor. I was really happy with my coffee but it may not be a place I come to hang out.
