Very happy I came across this place and completely by chance!! I don’t usually leave food reviews but I loved how warm and welcoming the owner and staff were. I had the Honey Glaze Salmon Panini and the coconut pie. The panini was delicious: I loved the bread that was used and the salmon was not dry. And the glaze on the side, was too good— I honestly should’ve asked for more. As for the pie, I have a huge sweet tooth so I loved it but I can see how for someone else (like my mom), it might be too sweet but the texture and crust were perfect. Next time, I’m gonna save a slice to chill it for a warm day. Overall, I really enjoyed the food and can see how much love and care is put into the food and knowing the people who stop by. I will be back, trust!!

September 6th 2021, I went to Cafe Synai while visiting RVA at VCU on business. I was pleasantly surprised at the location and how DELICIOUS the food is! OMG! Thank God For JESUS! The Lord Blessed that woman!!! The owner of Cafe Synai has such a warm and pleasant spirit. I ordered the Turkey Sandwich, The Salmon sandwich, 2 cheesecake cupcakes (one with strawberries and one plain). I also ordered a Banana pudding and a Strawberry Banana Smoothie! When people use the term "That Was Everything"! Cafe Synai food and drinks are EVERYTHING!!!!! When ever I visit Richmond Virginia, I will Always visit Cafe Synai!!!!! The food is worth it!!!!

My mom brought a lot of desserts from this cafe so we could try different things. We got cupcakes, a slice of coconut pie, cookies, and cake jars. Everything was so delicious!! There’s also plenty of vegan options which is a plus. The owner was so nice! I would highly recommend this Black owned cafe :)

Café Synai absolutely blew me away! Their Honey Glaze Salmon Panini is hands-down the best in town — perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and paired with an incredible dipping sauce that takes it to the next level. The café has a warm, welcoming atmosphere with a great vibe, and the location is super convenient. The staff were genuinely friendly and made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a unique and delicious bite!
