Brookfield
301 W Franklin St, Richmond, VA
Crema's Take
“Tucked into The Graduate hotel, Brookfield offers a refreshingly unhurried coffee experience where you can actually linger—early evenings feel wonderfully quiet and intimate, perfect for catching up with a friend over excellent food and drinks. The vibe is deliberately low-key and conversational rather than Instagram-ready, with a casual order-at-the-bar setup that lets you settle in and stay awhile, though mornings can get busy with the hotel crowd. While consistency seems to vary, the best versions of their traditional drinks and pastries paired with the genuinely welcoming atmosphere make it worth a visit if you're seeking a place that prioritizes real connection over rushing through.”

There were two of us, and we were the only guests in the early evening. Normally, I'd start to have my doubts then, but there was no reason to. The food and the atmosphere were excellent. We received warm service, and the dishes were fresh and incredibly delicious.
Great people and awesome food
The bar/restaurant at The Graduate hotel. Everything was unexceptional and fine. Order at the bar and food is delivered to you where you sit. A bit of a line first thing in the morning since it’s the same line as all the people ordering coffee.
excellent
The croissant must have been left in the microwave so long that half of it was inedible. The three person I interacted with clearly did not want to be working today. The hotel attached is clearly trying to create a “college vibe”. That’ s great but without friendly service and descent food all that effort goes out the window.
