One Saturday morning, I had the pleasure of brunching at Urban Farmhouse with a friend. A new one on Broad street just opened up, and I gotta say, it’s a beautiful place to spend your morning.
Urban Farmhouse is a market and cafe with five locations in Richmond, and one in Midlothian. They offer cozy settings with a cafe with a full coffee and espresso bar, as well as breakfast and lunch menus. The cafe is also quaintly decorated, with shelves of items for purchase. They stock retail items from local businesses, such as Red Eye Cookie Company, as well as mugs, t-shirts, and take-home condiments such as locally roasted coffee beans, organic coffee sweetener, organic ketchup and mustard.
I ordered a 16 oz Cafe Mocha to go with my special of the day breakfast sandwich, which was made with cage-free eggs and gouda cheese, garnished with apple and orange slices. Yum! And for the tea drinkers, my friend ordered an Earl Grey tea, which she apparently liked:
Then I ordered an Ambrosia Berry smoothie (sooo good) to take with me, which they made with almond milk at no extra cost.
I loved the environment, it seemed like a cozy, comforting place to hide away with a good latte and a good book (or textbook – it is quiet enough to get some good studying done here!)
I would definitely recommend Urban Farmhouse to a friend. Although I am a big Starbucks fan, Urban Farmhouse has a wider selection of foods and drinks ($22 for a pitcher of mimosas – heyo!) and a warmer, friendlier environment than the Cabell Starbucks. It wasn’t too busy for a Saturday morning, most of the customers looked like they were there to get comfortable, get some work done and get a good breakfast in. I’m looking forward to my next visit!
