We live in the neighborhood and get delicious lattes here all the time. We buy the beans for at home too. Staff is always kind, the atmosphere is always somehow better than the last time we were in. Riverbend is such a gem. We feel so lucky to live close by! Also, their breakfast sandwich on ciabatta is a hit every time.

Their fall specialty coffee was so yummy that we came back the next day. I ordered the Apple Spice Chai Latte with oatmilk and it was the perfect drink for the fall weather. The Salty Pumpkin Shaken espresso was delicious, and the Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Latter was divine.

Riverbend is a must go to in RVA! We always book our airbnb within walking distance so we can enjoy the walk and ambience to this cute shop! They have the best seasonal menu and the kindest employees!

Was passing through the city and found this lovely coffee shop. Excellent vibes and cozy atmosphere. Got the s’mores latte and have no regrets.

Riverbend Roastery is the beating heart of the Church Hill neighborhood. Nestled in a charming historic building, this coffee shop feels like an extension of the community itself—welcoming, warm, and full of character. The large windows flood the space with natural light, making it an ideal spot to spend an afternoon watching the neighborhood unfold before you.

Wonderful coffee shop. The cashier was friendly and offered great recommendations, the baristas were hopping and made us good drinks. Another customer said the bagels and matcha were good. We loved our drinks - both with oat milk and will definitely be back. It stayed busy crazy busy on a Saturday and we were lucky to get a seat. But it’s worth it!!! ❤️ prices were very reasonable compared to others in RVA area.

One of the best coffee shops in all of Richmond. I don’t even live in RVA anymore but when I come into town it’s my first and last stop and I stock up on the Churchill blend to take home. Best staff, amazing atmosphere and amazing drinks and pastries!

Riverbend Inn is a gorgeous spot with tall tiled ceilings, brick walls, and progressive vibes. Great coffee with plenty of variety (and whole beans to buy). The ciabatta with egg and bacon was tasty, well-seasoned, and the outdoor space is lovely.

I love it here. Delicious coffee, fresh beans for at home at a reasonable price. Welcoming atmosphere, you really can't go wrong! Gets a bit busy on the weekend but they have a huge staff working and it moved very fast.
