Lamplighter Coffee Roasters - Addison St
116 S Addison St, Richmond, VA
Crema's Take
“This downtown Richmond roastery strikes that perfect balance between serious espresso craftsmanship and genuinely welcoming neighborhood hangout, with regulars who've been coming back for nearly a decade. The grungy-cozy atmosphere captures that classic Richmond vibe, and whether you're nursing a meticulously poured pour over or settling in for a full breakfast, you'll find plenty of room to linger and actually be part of the bustling energy rather than rushed through it. Their signature bean blends have earned a loyal following, though you might want to ask about their filtration technique if sediment-free cups matter to you.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast on the menu.

Nice spot for a coffee and some reading/working. Line was long but moved fast, and I only ordered a drip coffee. They had an 8oz size which was great! I sat inside by the front window and enjoyed a leisurely hour reading and catching up on some work. There’s outdoor seating too…
