“ Very few spots in the city seem to offer vegan breakfast before 9am and Lamplighter is one! They actually have various vegan options to choose from for breakfast (bagels or burritos). The vegan breakfast burrito was very filling with potatoes, beans, tofu scramble, avocado, and vegan sour cream. The slammer bagel sandwich is vegan cream cheese, vegan breakfast sausage with maple sriracha sauce. They also had vegan banana bread on the counter for grab and go! I don't drink coffee but my dad said it was good, and I can say the matcha latte was one of the better ones I've tried in RVA. No up charge for oat milk either, so that's a win! Tiny parking lot, which sets it apart from many other shops in the city. Indoor and outdoor seating (mostly outdoor). It was clean and cute inside. The food came out pretty fast. I wish everything hadn't been served to go style though (even after I asked for my matcha in a regular mug, of which they had plenty). I would definitely come back to try their other vegan goodies. ”

“ Nice spot for a coffee and some reading/working. Line was long but moved fast, and I only ordered a drip coffee. They had an 8oz size which was great! I sat inside by the front window and enjoyed a leisurely hour reading and catching up on some work. There's outdoor seating too but it was a bit chilly for me. I can see why this was recommended to me! ”

“ Lovely service and quick hot coffees and burritos. The parking was simple and effortless just ten minute walk from the cute Carytown shops. Definitely worth a stop for a snack and a caffeine break nearby the Art Museum and several other places to explore. ”

“ This is quite a busy spot ! But it's worth the wait ! I got a bagel and a chai latte. The bagel was really good; they had several options you can choose from as a vegetarian. Their coffee/drink selections were pretty good too and I had plenty of time during the wait to see what I wanted to get. The service was pretty quick too for how busy they were ! They've got plenty of seating around to chill while you wait and catch up with friends. ”

“ This place has excellent, large breakfast burritos. The lattes are also very good. I wavered between 4 stars and 5 stars, because the seating area is very small, but ultimately this is still a great spot for coffee -- especially if you want a filling breakfast for a reasonable cost. ”

“ Perhaps I am too friendly of a critic, but I love this place! My favorite outdoor space out of any coffeeshop in Richmond so far with plenty of seating and appreciate its dog-friendlyness. Everything just flows well from the place in which you order into the seating area and the baristas were all super friendly. Just an overall fun vibe that feels very "coffee-shop." Cute interior with plenty of awesome merchandise options and great looking pastries - loved my americano :) will most definitely be returning here throughout the rest of my time in Richmond! ”

“ 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! ”

“ 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. ”
