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.”

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!
Great cup of coffee. Wandered around and found it while on a trip from Seattle. I drink a lot of coffee; much of it good and local. This place is better than most. The pour over was spectacular. 10/10 worth the flight, even if it was an accident this time.
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 sourced and roasted coffee to their shop!

An incredible new take on coffee! I'm so excited for Calyx to open to the public and for Richmond to have this amazing coffee experience. I've tried the lattes, espresso shots, and pour overs as well. The staff is all very friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about this new wave of coffee. I'll definitely be recommending to my loved ones!
