Calyx Cafe | Lounge
215 W Clay St, Richmond, VA
Crema's Take
“Tucked in Jackson Ward, this Richmond gem transforms coffee into an interactive experience with their signature coffee omakase, where knowledgeable baristas like Jace guide you through a curated tasting journey. Their pour overs are particularly spectacular, and the thoughtfully crafted specialty drinks pair perfectly with an inviting lounge atmosphere that feels as much about community and conversation as it is about exceptional coffee.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings.

I was so pleased to come across this little cafe right up the street from me! It’s ambiance, the service and quality of coffee is deeply appreciated. I will absolutely be back!

A lovely specialty coffee shop with even lovelier people! We did the signature coffee omakase and Jace was so knowledgeable and engaging throughout the course. The coffee is delicious and you can really tell they all care deeply about bringing unique, delicious, and properly…
