I love this place. I usually get the Lavender Late which is balanced and full of flavor. Not overbearing sweet. The tables look like 3 inch thick slabs of a tree and is unique. πŸ‘ β˜•!

Very good coffee. Cozy ambience and friendly service. Ive been drinking puertorrican coffee all my life and I was not let down. They love their coffee beans and pour love on them.

Awesome local Hanover/Mechanicsville coffee shop! Christian & Jake are great people and all of the staff is very welcoming. They create a great atmosphere to work, meet with people, study, etc. Highly recommend you stop in for a cup of coffee and a snack as well!

The BEST coffee shop in Richmond, hands down! The sugary waffles are one-of-a-kind. Every variety of muffin and scone Ive tasted has been mouthwateringly delicious. Their chai tea is perfection (for all you non-coffee drinkers like me!). Owners Christian and Jake are the most hospitable, friendly folks youll find, and the entire staff makes you feel right at home. Youll wanna stay awhile!

This was a great coffee shop! We stopped by for breakfast and coffee on the way to Williamsburg. We had the raspberry white chocolate muffins which were delicious! The coffee was great! I would come back again!

I love coffee and I love supporting a local business. Their coffee is amazing and their staff is always super friendly! Might I recommend the lemon raspberry muffins because they are out of this world delicious.

The coffee is amazing and the staff is always very friendly. They even have delicious gluten free (and normal) muffins!! Plus, the cafe itself is gorgeous and has plenty of cozy chairs to nestle into, as well as some tables. So its a great place to get together and talk, bring a book to read, or get some work done!

Super-friendly.. and just as importantly, the coffee is really quite good. If you prefer fresh roasted beans for your house coffee, this is THE place to go. The beans are perfectly roasted, never burned (like some certain larger coffee companies), and theres quite a variety available. I always feel appreciated and the coffees great. What else do you need?

We had The Local Cup Coffee Truck at our brunch wedding and hands down - one of the best wedding decisions I made! Everyone LOVED having a coffee truck - we had a 10AM ceremony start time so caffeine was much needed! Plus, the coffee & pastries were so yummy. Christian was so easy to work with and accommodating - he even left two huge carafes of coffee for our guests! I cant recommend the Local Cup enough!

I LOVE this Coffe Shop because it isSOOOO much more then that! Coffee & Teas & Great baked items.The biggest draw is that this is a business focused on Community. The owners, Jake & Christian not only talk the talk but they Walk the Walk. Well organized, well managed & well staffed. If youre looking for a new place & want to support small businesses, Look NO Further. This is the Local place to be.

Loved the atmosphere. Coffee wasnt hot. Barista had mask below the nose (...do they not know or do they not care....gotta love it). But place was clean spacious and good vibes. Just hoped for good hot coffee. Oh and it was over $3 for a regular ole drip coffee- thats insane

Great little coffee shop right off the main road. Staff is always friendly. The cappucino is my favorite, and the fall pumpkin muffin was delicious! They frequently have live music on the weekends.

Review β„–24

Cute, friendly, local caffeinery that sells coffe drinks and baked goods. There was a maple Belgian waffle situation that looked amazing, but I went for the delicious blueberry muffin instead. They’re a very welcoming alternative to the big, green, national chain where they can’t even spell your name right. I think their initials are TLC on puropse.

GET READY! This place is gonna be your new favorite coffee shop!If you want a comfortable coffee shop that makes you feel right at home, and has DELICIOUS LOCALLY-ROASTED COFFEE, look no further than The Local Cup.The staff and owners are super friendly and down to earth. (But make no beans about it, they know coffee.)Not in a coffee mood? Try their delicious teas.If you want a β€œcity-quality” coffee shop experience, but without having to deal with the city, then The Local Cup is the perfect spot.

Really disappointed to see so many people inside this cafe who were not socially distancing or wearing a mask during a pandemic, and during a spike no less. The tables were close together and there were more than 12 people in such a small space. Please enforce the request by the CDC and help get us all thru this dark period. I understand the argument for personal freedom but we need to remember that with those freedoms comes a responsibility and part of the responsibility is to protect not only yourself but other people including the poor staff by doing what we can to dampen the reach of this virus. I would like to note that the staff were wearing a mask. I put the onus on management to do the right thing in this situation.

Review β„–32

This place was not practicing social distancing in the slightest or enforcing mask wearing. At a time when this pandemic is at an all time high, I witnessed three people get up from their seats, without a mask on, walk to the bathroom and to the counter to order or grab their food and staff said nothing to them. The tables were not distanced at all and there were people sitting two feet from each other without masks on. Not a great first impression at all. If you don’t care about the safety of your customers, then I don’t care to give you my money. I will not be coming back.

A very pleasant surprise, and Im very particular about the quality of coffee I consume. At home I brew Community Coffee in an old fashioned percolator for superior flavor. At The Local Cup, both the atmosphere and the coffee were very good, and the employees were friendly and helpful. Much prefer this local option over the well known national chain!

Recommended as a place to reunite with friends. Was impressed with the latte that was excellent. Tried the butterscotch flavor that the barrista recommended if I wanted a local favorite and enjoyed. Would have loved to have seen some breakfast items, especially gluten free options. Will definitely return and highly recommend coffee selections. Certainly appreciate the hospitality as my friends and I were able to have a quality reunion.

You dont have to love coffee to come to The Local Cup. Im not a coffee drinker so I was pleasantly surprised to learn that they serve flavored lemonades. I tried their prickly pear lemonade and their lavender lemonade. Just the right amount of sweetness. And while youre there be sure to try their yummy waffles. You wont be disappointed! (Plus they support local charities)

My go-to coffee shop! Friendly staff, VERY clean space, and coffee that is both consistent and outstanding. Their mochas, which I get on a weekly basis, are always sweet enough to taste like a treat, but not so sweet that they taste like pure sugar...in other words, near perfect!
