★★★★★ 5.0 John Duke · Feb 2026

Delicious breeads and pastries and very good coffee. I only visited once but am looking forward to coming back. The menu is small but looks very good The bakery kitchen has windows viewable from the sidewalk and it is fun to watch the staff work. The tables seat two or four; there is bar seating as well. There are a few tables outside when the weather is better. They have a few high chairs. Wheelchairs look like they can be accommodated. The parking lot is small and cramped. You may have to find a street place and walk a bit.

Everything I’ve picked up or eaten there has been incredible. They have very limited seating and you have to stand their waiting for your food and it’s very hard to hear. I would not say it is reasonably priced. It’s a little pricey, but you know for a special occasion, they’re baked goods are out of the world. The bread is yummy and I like their coffee drinks. I wish there was more area for seating when it’s summertime or nicer weather you can’t sit outside just be prepared that you’re probably not gonna find a parking space and you might need to park across the street and then walk over.

Cool little place across the river from the fan. It was packed and the staff handled it well! I got the chocolate chip pancakes and a mocha. Will def come back again. My only wish is there were outlets beneath the bar and maybe some blinds to be able to pull down as the bar is not facing the window so can make it hard to work remotely. Also the bathrooms are super cute. Well the one I went in Anyway . As a dog training company we love anything dogs!

★★★★★ 5.0 Rachel Wolman · Nov 2025

Janet’s is the most magical and wonderful place one can eat at in Richmond, let alone the world! Every single thing on the menu is a HIT. I’ve had about 90% of both the breakfast and lunch menus at this point. Every bake good, A GRAND SLAM! Janie, one of the owners and main baker is a goddess. That woman knows bread and pastries unlike anyone you’ve ever met. Her ideas are flawless. The execution hits every time. What can’t she think of! Will, the other owner and the brains behind the hot food is insane. Truly he comes up with things I’ve never heard of or thought of and makes is unreal good. The two of them are a dream team. Their staff? Phenomenal. The most wonderful kind people you’ll ever meet. We are so lucky to have such a special spot here in RVA. While yes the lines can get long, a

So may excellent options for baked goods! I think we enjoyed the sourdough cinnamon roll the most though! A wonderful balance to the sweetness made it one of my favorite cinnamon rolls. The line was packed as soon as they opened!
