Lamplighter Coffee Roasters

Great food, staff, and culture! Location is A+ considering its placement by Maymont and other RVA attractions but also the building itself is unique, including an outdoor seating area, screened in seating area, and a smaller indoor seating area (which can get a bit cramped when busy). I recommend the Slayer Bagel (add greens!) and cold brew coffee with oatmilk :)

This place has been on my bucket list of places to try for what feels like forever. I'm happy to report it was worth the wait. Lamplighter is busy street corner with a tiny little parking lot in front. They have a separate entrance for you to place your order. When you place your order they ask for your name no additional order number is given. This proved to be a little confusing as there were two Jason's at the same time and they received the wrong drink.

I ordered an iced lavender latte, breakfast burrito and a sweet potato muffin. Everything was really good. The breakfast burrito tasted homemade and was accompanied by a fresh salsa that was great. I will flag that this cafe is Vegan friendly as they have several vegan/ vegetarian options on the menu.

Overall I really enjoyed my coffee and food and look forward to trying this place out in the future!

Cozy, unpretentious neighborhood coffee shop. I had a hot matcha latte that was perfectly sweetened and a delicious chocolate coconut cookie. Staff brings out your order so grab a table outside while you wait!

Stopped by this coffeehouse for a 2nd time as the initial time was via a recommendation from Alex @ Resolve, for my matcha tea. And it didn't disappoint. Staff customer service was friendly and personably.

Small and unassuming place which has coffee, tea & pastries, even plant-based. There matcha comes unsweetened which I love however they can added sweetness if that is your desire. Hubby had the chai muffin which he states was quite tasty. The vegan pastry option was all sold out both times... Next time I visit Richmond, I am stopping by early to grab one before they are all gone.

I truly appreciate a spot that has local flyers of a variety of happenings in a city along with business cards for small business owners.

The street is closed to most traffic as there is construction across the street yet its worth parking on the street and taking s stroll here.

Love this coffee shop! The inside area to order is super small so the line formed outside but it didn't take too long for them to get to everyone. I got a lavender latte and it was good. A little too sweet for my liking but that might just be my pallet. My partner got and Peru drip coffee and said it tasted off/possibly burnt. We bought a bag of coffee so hopefully that redeems their coffee. The baked goods were delicious. The pumpkin bread was super moist as was the sweet potato muffin although I wish it has more cream cheese filling. Overall this is a great spot and I'd love to come back to the more menu items! Staff was very friendly.

Lamplighter is one of the best (if not the best) coffee shops I have ever been to -- full stop. Their vegan breakfast sandwich was outstanding; their iced americano was so smooth; their iced chai was exceptional and is made in-house. They use Califia oat milk. Their vegan pumpkin bread (not pictured) was very good. The spirit of Lamplighter is so clear; the people who work there are kind, the clientele is clearly very dedicated to it, and there's so much energy in the stickers and writing on the bathroom walls to their well-loved community bulletin board. There is an abundance of outdoor seating, and the indoor seating is nice, too. I wouldn't do laptop work here; it's not that kind of place. I cannot emphasize enough how good this is from a coffee perspective, a vibe lens, and from a vegan eye and palate.

Good service and food!
A ton of nice patio space on days with good weather. The coffee is prepared well. I ordered the Katie bagel which was a good mix of ingredients! The service is great. Once our food was ready, someone brought our food out to us on the patio. Overall great place for a hangout or coffee break, with decent food and drink!

I found the location a bit weird being at the corner of Addison and tucked near the highway. Since my hotel didn't have coffee available, you gotta find caffeine somewhere that isn't Starbucks. Trekking all the way from Monroe Park, I finally found the spot and sauntered in.

Chai Tea Latte, might sound basic but this one was unique. Ordered chilled on this hot day, every sip was soothing. And the smaller the sips, the better flavor you get. They did take a while to make my drink (around 8 minutes) but there was a line in front and they likely put a lot of care into their coffee/barista concoctions.

Of course they have breakfast items too, since what else would you pair your coffee with? There's some outside seating and fewer inside seating so you're most likely getting to go here and then going about your day. Also the person taking my order sounded sweet which is better than someone being lackadaisical or irritated.

For Sunday morning, I was looking for the place to have coffee and quick bite to have.
I knew Lamplighter was the local coffee shop in Richmond and decided to have coffee from Lamplighter coffee roasters.
From the menu I decided to order Cold Brew Coffee, Everything Bagel and also ordered Pumpkin Bread for to go.
The coffee shop looked amazing with beautifully decorated and ample of place to sit and have coffee as well as to have the quick bite.
The service was good and I soon got my order which included Coffee as well as Everything Bagel.
The cold brew was amazing and it was freshly brewed. Amazing coffee to start my day.
The Bagel was also delicious with Cream Cheese on it and it was tasty as well as delicious.
Amazing coffee shop in Richmond to have coffee and quick bite to have.

This place has really solid bagels, better than some of the specialty bagel places I'm used to. Basic breakfast sandwiches are tasty. The outdoor space is great, coffee pretty good. Really kind servers. Enjoyed breakfast here twice on a 3-day trip to RVA. Would go back, next trip.
