RVANews: Sub Rosa bakes nearly perfect croissants, but they also know how to add the right ingredients to elevate the humble roll. Our favorite version is the salami and cheese croissant.
Mighty Casey: Outstanding cocktail program, and you cannot beat the quality of the food. Really, try anything. It's all good. If the pork pot pie is on the menu, order it. Ditto the house-made bread basket.
RVA Badge: Lamplighter is known for their micro-roasted coffee. Made in 10lb batches, there is a great deal of care put into their product. Their menu is stellar and most dishes can be made vegan or gluten free
Sarah: The chicken pineapple fried rice with cashews is delicious and the portion is huge! It's served in a hollowed out pineapple. The curry puff appetizer was also excellent!

Coffee Shop · Downtown Richmond · 12 tips and reviews
Sarah Davis: This place has ruined every other coffee shop for me. The coffee is strong, yet smooth, the foam is frothy and thick. I miss it when I'm back in the 'burbs on the weekends.
RVA Badge: Ask a Richmonder where the best place to get brunch is and Millie's will come up 50% of the time. Prepare to wait, but they keep the Mimosas and Bloodies flowing. Best advice is to get there early.
