Q:
If I walk over with my dog, is there a place I can tie him up outside while I go in to get coffee to-go? Is there any outdoor seating?
A:
No outdoor seating! I know they have a doggy bowl outside but I'm not sure they have somewhere you can tie him outside

Came back with my husband and both kids today for a morning outing! They all loved it!
My daughter got some milk while my husband got the Vanilla Salted Caramel Latte and it was way too sweet.. maybe one too many squirts, my husband added some of my daughter's milk into it and it was a lot better. Regardless, I tried a Decaf Frosted Mint Latte... another amazing drink... tastes even better than a peppermint mocha!
We ordered a Blueberry Muffin, one Sausage, Egg and Cheese Biscuit and one Bacon, Egg and Cheese Biscuit. They accidentally made two with sausage when one should be bacon. They remade the bacon biscuit quickly and even offered us the sausage from the from the one they made accidentally since they said that they had to throw it out if not. Not surprising my daughter is an eater... she ate up the whole extra sausage patty. One point to note their biscuits are made in house... trust me you will want to try one... both our sandwiches came out piping hot... crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside... delicious I highly recommend it.. if you don't like biscuits their croissants are just as good! The Blueberry Muffin was also super moist with big pieces of blueberries, very flavorful.
My daughter thoroughly enjoyed the kids area and was able to color on the chalk board and play with all the wall board games. She had a great time and we were all able to sit and relax while we ate and drank our coffee. For Saturday morning there were definitely more people there than the weekday I stopped by this week, but still ample spaces available. Like my husband said, this is such a chill coffee place... we will totally come back:)
Note: I wasn't told this during my first visit... but this visit apparently there is a loyalty card... if you get 10 coffees you can get one free...make sure you ask about it!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0Mar 14, 2017Previous reviewI've never used the bookmark feature on YELP... but as I was writing some reviews yesterday I decided to bookmark some spots. Adbibo (ADD-BEE-BOH) was one of the places I bookmarked.
I dropped my daughter off to daycare this morning and decided that I wanted some coffee. Normally I would hit up the Starbucks inside the Martins close to my house but all of a sudden I remembered I bookmarked this place so why not give it a chance. I decided to take my baby boy who is 6 weeks old to get some coffee.
Not sure how long this place has been around but oddly enough I came to it by chance on YELP... doesn't seem to come up based on different search options. I've never heard of it before nor have I noticed it driving by it on Midlothian turnpike... not really noticeable unless you are actually looking for it. Another YELP reviewer indicated it was a hidden gem... Boy are they right! As I pulled up there is a good deal of parking... spots labeled with Adbibo 15 minutes and just Adbibo parking and spots not labeled. Definitely nice to have the 15 min spots if you are just swinging in to get coffee and head to work.
I tried to take the car seat in and take a pic of the front as I was walking in but was unsuccessful. A guy came out with his coffee and tried to photobomb my picture by making a grand gesture... of course I started laughing and never had the opportunity to take a picture. Regardless it brought a laugh to my day. As I walked in I was pleasantly surprised by the spaciousness of the coffee shop. I would say double or triple the size of your average Starbucks. There were roughly 7- 4 person tables (they could definitely fit more tables and chairs if they wanted to), some chairs throughout the place, 4 super comfy leather chaises, there were even kiddy chairs & benches in a designated kid area. They had a chalkboard and some wall board games in the children's area which would easily occupy a kid, super kid friendly coffee shop. On one side of the wall they had little coffee gadgets, tea and coffee which customers could buy. Adibibo roasts their own coffee beans so you can buy their packaged coffee. Actually, while I was there I saw a gentleman come in and literally just bought a bag of their coffee.
When I stood in line I realized they have a whole area for baked goods and based on their menu... they offer both breakfast and lunch options. They had an array of scones and pastries but I decided to go with a bacon, egg & cheese on croissant (You can also get sandwiches on biscuits or English muffins... based on its Facebook page menu it looks like they actually added biscuits at the restaurant and didn't update the pic on Facebook... makes me wonder if they are homemade biscuits... note to self I should ask at my next visit as there will be a next time :) The Sandwich came out super hot and crisp... it was a good sandwich the egg didn't even taste all that fake... it came out as a patty but it may be a homemade scrambled egg patty... or at least a good version of a pre-made patty). As for coffee... I am exclusively BF'ing my baby boy so I'm drinking decaf (I know you must think I am nuts for not drinking caffeine with a 2.5 year old and a 6 week old... but surprisingly I've lived without caffeine ever since I found out I was pregnant with my daughter. Don't get me wrong, it was hard to break the habit and it took me awhile to get in my groove but not that I don't have it daily I feel like I function quite well without it and don't get those crazy caffeine headaches.) I was surprised by all the flavors that they have available to add to your drink... I decided to get a Decaf Salted Caramel Latte (only one way to describe it... yummy in my tummy, probably the best salted caramel latte I've ever had). They serve all their drinks in already insulated heat & go cups which is nice since you don't have that separate insulator that tends to fall off anyway. I was in there around 8:30-9. There was a steady pace of customers coming in and there were probably 6-7 of us that sat in the restaurant to eat and enjoy our coffee but overall it is still a very quiet atmosphere even though they had coffee shop music in the background.
Once you are done with your food you can place your plates by the sign, "Dish Return", so a Panera esque feel on that aspect.
There is a sign that does indicate that wifi is for customers and that you have to ask the attendant. I'll be honest do they really think people would not buy anything and abuse the wifi? I just don't see that happening as there drinks are so good that I doubt someone wouldn't buy a treat. If you are going to go the distance to offer free wifi for your customers just put the password up, not worth the hassle of customers asking your busy staff for the password every time. From an efficiency standpoint I would think that would be one less headache. It would probably increase customer traffic too.
At any rate I want to bring my husband and daughter back this weekend! - 11656241Apr 12, 2019
My experience at Roastology is probably an anomaly, but I was a tad bit dissatisfied with the coffee and the service. I ordered a Guatemalan (Capetillo Pacamara) pour over - and I waited about 20 minutes. Though they brewed my cup, the workers were doing other things like the dishes and putting things back in its proper place and forgot. They were sincerely sorry, as they gave me a card for a free cup of coffee on my next visit. But when I got my cup, it was a bit sour as if under-extracted. Not sure if it was a bad batch or if they kind of rushed it - but I was underwhelmed.
The shop has an interesting vibe, that doesn't have a consistent theme. But it's cool to see their roasting equipment in the back.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Ginny Y.Rockville, MD222177140Apr 1, 2018
This cute little coffee shop is tucked in surrounding industrial-like buildings. I think it would be hard to find without a GPS!
The baristas and employees are knowledgeable and recommend according to what your taste is. I have no coffee knowledge and they were so nice to assist me! I settled on a cortado. Now, I don't know anything about coffee, but it tasted amazing, very robust and deep (I admit I did have to put sugar in there). I also ordered a breakfast sandwich and a croissant with a veggie burger and it was so delicious! The portions are great as well and I had leftovers.
-1 star because I do agree with one of the reviews that the atmosphere and interior design is a bit odd, feels like there isn't really a brand or a cohesive statement to the shop. But otherwise, would definitely recommend!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Sep 7, 2019
Very cool warehouse with swag along one perimeter of items to purchase, another section with cozy seats and tables and the key feature - open area with a variety of coffee drinks to buy. Each time I've stopped, I've tried something different - I enjoyed their cold brew with splash of caramel the most!

Definitely the best coffee shop in the area. It's local, they roast their own beans in house, portions are great, and the prices are more than reasonable. This is a coffee shop that can roll with the best and could easily compete in a big city but has decided to grace us Midlothianers with its presence.
It's a bit hidden so be on the lookout for the red signs that say coffee. If you're going east on Middle, turn right immediately after the Wells Fargo.
They always have at least three choices of freshly brewed coffee and one decaf (with helpful tasting notes underneath!). The coffees are switched out regularly so while they aren't consistent, they are always delicious. I've had so many different and ridiculously good coffees there that I can't even choose a favorite.
Baked goods and sandwiches are really awesome too. Their monster cookies which are the size of my FACE are around 2 bucks and worth a try. Get the sandwiches with the croissant... sure, it's extra calories but oh my goooosh, it's delicious buttery goodness.
The staff there are all really friendly and genuine people. I've never had a less than stellar experience with them.
If you're in the area, make sure to stop by. The only thing that isn't ideal is that Adbibo closes at 5 pm which means I can't enjoy the place for as long as I'd like. The seating they have is also a bit plain and, besides 4 comfy armchairs, not great for sitting in after a while.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Alison E.Honolulu, HI10166248Jun 25, 2016
Great place for a nice cup of coffee. The husband and I dropped by after turning our car in at the near by Jeep dealership for service. Although we couldn't see this place, we began walking in the direction that Yelp displayed before finally stumbling upon it. It's on the side of the building with a tucked away entrance.
The latte and the mocha that we had were both terrific. Rarely is French vanilla on the menu, but when it is, it is rarely made right. These guys nailed it!
While waiting for our coffee we looked through the variety of freshly roasted coffee beans, ranging in date from the previous day to a month before. The variety was truly impressive.
While we waited for our coffee, Dan invited us to see the organic Colombian coffee beans that he was roasting. He provide us with a basic Coffee 101 course before thanking him for the little tour and picking up our coffees and treats on the way out. Again, both coffees were delicious! The veggie burger breakfast croissant was interesting and delicious at the same time and the husband seemed to enjoy his scone.
If you're in need of good coffee, look no further.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Jaime O.Richmond, VA324171Jun 25, 2018Updated review
Our favorite coffee place. Gluten free egg sandwiches available too, and sometimes baked goods.
Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Feb 24, 2014Previous reviewGood coffee. Great price. And very clean. And near my sisters job at hospital. It is much better than the hospital coffee shop or the Starbucks, because the quality is still high. But, it's not as costly. I love the smell. They have a few food options, including gluten free oatmeal. I think I will try the oatmeal for some breakfast.

Tucked away on the side of a nondescript building, this little hidden gem is a must go! I ventured in today based on other yelp reviews and I was not disappointed. While the decor was very eclectic, ranging from minimalist, to homey, to diner, the menu itself was very short and to the point. Based on other yelpers' suggestions, I let the staff choose a coffee drink for me. The barista, after inquiring into my usual drinks, crafted a lovely cinnamon latte made from house-made syrup. I paired this with a bacon, egg, and cheddar croissant. While I was waiting I perused the many offerings of coffees, teas, and contraptions for brewing. There were so many choices! I had to pick up a couple bags of beans, as finding decaf in more than basic decaf flavor is near impossible even at the big house with the mermaid. They had no less than five decaf offerings, all with descriptions of preparation, darkness level, brewing strategies and flavor profiles. The staff were all courteous and extremely helpful as I had a number of questions as to storage and brewing of my goodies due to the recent purchase of a new brewing method.
Bottom line, I will definitely be back over there to score some beans and brew when I'm across the Rivah. (They have frequent buyer cards for both!) Secondly, breakfast was extremely tasty and I would venture to guess that lunch would be too, based on the descriptions on the menu. Definitely check it out and leave the mermaid for teens and Coffee noobs.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Allison L.Richmond, VA5713May 7, 2019
I WANT to give this place five stars but I just can't. I've been here a lot and love love love the coffee and the food is delicious. My three stars is for the service. Every time I've been in there the staff always acts as if I'm a bother and are never welcoming. Again the coffee is consistent and amazing. But it wouldn't kill the people who are there to smile or say hello or thank you. My husband and I have asked for recommendations or have questions and we are treated like we are making them do extra work. I could go on but I'm not trying to be mean. If they up their level of service I would definitely be able to recommend this place to everyone. For now I just go in occasionally knowing I'll be brushed off and ignored. But at least the coffee is good.
