Best casual brunch & diner in Richmond – 821 Cafe

Christian Marino

The service was very attentive. They offer a wide selection of draft beers, including the IPA I had, which was excellent. The food was, of course, delicious and very fairly priced. Highly recommended!

I discovered 821 cafe on a Facebook group about restaurants in Richmond when I queried vegan restaurants in the area.. it was highly recommended and definitely did NOT disappoint. We had divine “chicken” wings, vegan chili and a really delicious salad. I only took one picture though- but we will definitely be coming ... back! I want to try it all! We also had excellent service. The restaurant is so cute, definitely one of my new favorite spots!! Read More

The restaurant is a good brunch meet up spot on the VCU campus area with plenty of street parking. The prices are reasonable and they have a good selection of traditional and vegan friendly food options. Great for meet up gatherings, but they have a small dining and bar area to eat at. Friendly staff service.

A great dinner experience. Vegan options were delicious. Would definitely return.

So many great options for vegans on the actual menu! It was busy so we waited for like 25 minutes but definitely worth the wait. If you are in the area, check this place out, especially if you'l are vegan. I had the vegan chikn and waffles. My only complaint was the noise level. Other than that, it was really good.

We're addicted to their vegan food! We go here at least once a week. Only issue is night staff is nothing like the daytime staff. The daytime staff are great! But I still rate them 5 stars because the food is always delicious and hot. The custom mocktails are AMAZING every time.
