What People Are Saying About Shockoe Espresso

The Scene – As with most hip coffee spots, Shockoe Espresso & Roastery provides the perfect place to lounge, with a cushy sofa that backs up to exposed brick walls. The shop is lively without losing its downtown edge. – – The Food – The shop offers everything from sandwiches and salads to fresh fruit and quiche plates. Coffee drinkers have an even larger menu with flavored coffees and specialty java drinks. Anyone who suffers a mid-day work slump should try the Shockoe Shake, a creamy concoction spiked with two shots of espresso.

Awesome!
by Pinto
They have a large menu with a wide variety of food, even for vegetarian/vegan, and a few vegan pastries. Staff is helpful and friendly and they have a cozy, comfortable atmosphere. Their shockoe shake is amazing!
- Pros: good food, drinks, SHOCKOE SHAKE, cozy, and friendly staff

This place is a large coffeeshop (not a hole in the wall) and its in one of the older historic buildings in Richmond. It has great ambiance and is very comfortable. Its largely brick on the inside with hardwood floors and the coffee makes it smell great ! Its a great place to relax and have a sandwich. The sandwiches are above average- not the best I've ever had, but always fresh and well done. I recommend the chicken curry wrap. Its excellent!
- Pros: Its a great place to relax
- Cons: parking may be difficult

Best Shakes in Richmond I go here for my dinner dessert!
by kfigg
I love their Shockoe (milk) Shake, and they also have a wide range of flavors available for shakes in general. Never have I found better. And its really very nicely decorated, and it smells so awesome when you walk in, this sweet coffee type smell that permeates through the place.
I want to try their sandwiches too but they close their kitchen rather early (its not really a dinner spot I am guessing), so I can never sample anything else from their menu! They have so many menu items though, I was surprised.
I have had some of the desserts from their case, one was a delicious lemon bar type pastry that I hadn't seen in years (my mother used to make them), another time I had an eclair that was also very good.
I would recommend you stop at this place if you are in the Bottom and have never had a Shockoe Shake. You will judge all your future milkshakes at any other establishments against it!
I only wish they had Soy Ice Cream as an alternative ingredient for shakes. I bet it would rock
- Pros: ambience, location, HEAVENLY MILKSHAKES
- Cons: the shakes cost about 75 cents too much. but hey its a treat anyways right?
