Coffee shops are people places. We go there to start our days, catch up with friends or meet with colleagues — all while drinking an aromatic, energizing cup. Providers of pick-me-ups, reinforcers of routine, they’re important in-between spaces that fuel community and togetherness, worthy of celebration. Cozy up with a cortado or your favorite drip and discover our top caffeinated sips, can’t-miss cafe bites and vegan nosh, along with a little RVA coffee lore. We also embark on a local cafe tour, catch up with a few area java pros to talk about the industry and more.
