Recluse is my favorite coffee shop/roaster in the city. Their seasonal drinks—both hot and cold—are always incredible. Their beans are also so good, and they pay the farmers/producers well over fair trade prices, which is a huge plus. They’re also just super nice people with a really cool spot. Don’t sleep on the pastries either!

If you're a coffee aficionado, enthusiast, expert, or casual drinker, have good faith that Recluse will be providing you with an incredible coffee. They have a clear and undeniable passion for the best coffee possible and you can definitely taste it! If you want beans for your own set up at home (I use a V60 and a Flair espresso at home) or if you want a fresh drink, the experience will be wonderful. They also have ready to drink, batch brewed coffee that's canned! A perfect fridge item for your iced coffee needs. A few local vendors also carry these cans, so be on the lookout around RVA for them.

First proper 6 oz cappuccino I’ve had in Richmond; this spot lives up to the five star reviews. Places like this make me happy I live in Richmond.

So, just a window in a wall at this point but peeking in, I'd say it looks pretty top shelf. You can walk up and order beans, coffee and a variety of nibbles that all looked really good and I absolutely loved the coffee. Broke my usual just "dark and black" routine due the Maple Black Walnut latte they were offering that day. Very unlike me but Oh Dear Lord it was good!!!

A wonderful coffee experience everytime. The owners are delightful folks who alway provide great service and even more outstanding coffees! They have a unique rotating menu of coffees and speciality beverages along with an alternative milk option. The owners don’t do anything halfway and it’s reflected in their business! Lovely to have yall in the coffee community, <3

Hands down the best espresso drinks in the area. a shame they are only open on weekends but it is definitely worth the wait. The cappuccinos are perfect and the specials are always fun and different. A Lemon con Panna was especially delicious.

New Saturday ritual is coming here in the morning for coffee and breakfast. Their coffee is some of the best in Richmond, and their awesome food is made by Pizza Bones (cardamom bun and danish morning bun is my go-to). Aimee and Jack are legit cool people, and I can't wait to experience their shop as more than just a walk-up window.

The coffee is amazing. The owner is great. They are open limited days and they will sell out of the special way before they close on those days.
