The 7 Best Places for Pain Au Chocolat in Richmond

Kelsey: chocolate croissants are awesome

Lauren McMullen: Fig & Manchego tart, chocolate croissant, almond croissant (only on weekends), and I dare share the *dramatic pause* chocolate bomb. <<<currently closed for inspection>>>

Corey: Super friendly & knowledgeable staff serving up superb baked goods....with seasonal options!

David Botkins: Grab a stool in the front window and people watch.

Mary Wilkinson: Loud kids weekdays around 3...run for your lives!

Cat Ramsey: Carmel macchiato

Stephane Bryant: One of the best looking Starbucks in town! We have the CLOVER so stop by and try a cup!

Deanna Gordon: hot vanilla chai is amazing.

Greg Self: Hang with Luda the cat!

Food & Wine: Owner Clay Gilbert uses Central American beans for his espresso and drip coffee. He also offers an excellent selection of 30 craft beers.

Rebecca G: New bruschetta boards are great but huge. Definitely order a few as an app to share.

Debra Ruh: Best cinnamon bread ever.

Brittany Cooper: Forgo the bread and fill up on the mushroom & brie soup

Lele: Vintage bike photos on wall are pretty neat. Amazing coffee and great vegan sandwich selection.

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

RVANews: For breakfast that looks as pretty as it tastes, get the parfait. Lamplighter’s own granola tops off layers of yogurt and fresh fruit, inside one of these lovely, faceted Mason jars.

Janelle Moorefield: Great place! Love to sit by the big open windows and people watch. Food and service are excellent. :)

Aiden Kirchner: An adorable French cafe in Carytown

RVA Badge: This busy bistro is a Carytown staple. Sit by the window for some of the best people watching or sit at the bar for happy hour specials including half-price oysters, shrimp and burgers from 5 to 7pm.
