Roastology

"Visiting from Cincy - Precious little coffee shop. Baristas were knowledgeable and kind - they took a good minute to explain a roasting process (I forget which one) to my husband because he was curious and he appreciated that! We both got bagel sandwiches and they were tasty! Nothing to complain about. The beans are a bit on the pricy side per bag. But if you’re into coffee you’re probably used to that already. Awesome environment with plenty of space to sit and lots of light which is always great! Definitely recommend it if you’re visiting Richmond"

"Upon arriving at Roastology, there are several outdoor seating options, including patio tables with giant umbrellas and decorative chairs and a few wrought iron benches. On their website, Roastology invites you to bring your leashed pets to dine with you outside. There are couches, tables and chairs indoors, with free WiFi, waiting for you to get comfortable. As soon as you enter, there’s a counter to place your order, with signs designating the stations to pick up either online orders or in-store orders. It’s very organized and streamlined, which draws me in. The menu is right above the counter, with pastries encased on the counter top for your viewing. On this occasion, I ordered one of my favorite drinks, the iced mocha latte. The barista greeted me promptly, kindly, and calmly for such a busy place, which made me feel welcome and quite comfortable that everything was under control in this bustling coffee shop. What felt like a short time passed, and then my mocha popped up on the “In Store” orders counter. This iced mocha dazzled me immediately with a burst of robust roasted bean flavor; it was sweet, but not too sweet, creamy and refreshingly cold. The chocolate was almost a dark chocolate, bitter, and decadent. Most importantly, the mocha flavor was imparted through and through and not once was I missing a single note of the flavor profile. This is what makes a solid iced mocha latte. If you’d like to try some exclusive bagged coffees, look no further than Roastology, as they stock some exquisite blends, complete with tasting notes. Roastology has some fun merchandise and some special equipment for your home, too, including soft t-shirts, hardy coffee mugs, a variety of filter types, and espresso makers. Overall, an excellent experience, and I am looking forward to returning!"

"The ambiance here is amazing. Love the interior of this place and they have outside seating as well. However, I would not consider this a great place to work or study because it was very busy and full of people socializing. Although, it was the weekend so maybe weekdays are calmer. I had a seasonal Latte. Taste was great- I gave a 4 star because the drink was very warm instead of hot when I received it."

"Got a bagel sandwich that was pretty good. I liked that it came with orange slices. Overall, the aesthetic was nice and I love that their beans are roasted in house. I went on a Friday mid morning and it was super busy with people working on laptops. There were no seats at tables inside or out so I just grabbed a bench. And be prepared to park down the street a bit. They've got a bowl of water outside for dogs so I'm assuming dogs can hang out outside with owners."

"Exceeded my expectations! I absolutely love their light roast coffee beans. The food and drink at the roastery was equally as delightful. I was excited to finally sit inside the cafe and enjoy the ambience. It is packed on the weekends! Be prepared to wait in line to order and wait for your food. We managed to snag a seat as others were leaving, but I wouldn't count on eating in on the weekend. Remember to bring your mask and wear it when not actively eating or drinking! Overall, it's a chill space with friendly, skilled service and the tastiest coffee and treats."
