Richmond Beach Coffee Shop — Restaurant in Shoreline

It was one of our early dates. B and I went to Richmond beach for a walk and talk. The beach was crowded, but we walked far enough to have some beach to ourselves. I found a flat rock to show off my skipping skills. We explored a shade structure made from driftwood. I found some bits of beach glass to take home as a souvenir of a great day. After a couple of hours of fun, we found ourselves in need of a snack and some coffee. The obvious choice for where to go was Richmond Beach Coffee Shop. We took a quick drive and easily found parking. I have been there a few times when I am looking for a nice place to do some writing. There is a big couch in the back with an outlet nearby to plug in my computer. The WiFi is easy to connect to and works just fine. While they have a fairly constant stream of customers, it is never very crowded or noisy. I usually don’t get things to eat at coffee shops, so having B along was an opportunity to see what their food was like. She picked a muffin from the display case. I got my usual - a latte. We took a cozy table and settled in to enjoy our food and drink. The coffee was tasty and properly warm. I’m not too picky about coffee, so I can’t report on the gourmet level, it was just good. B’s muffin was about what you expect for pastry from the display case. It was good, but nothing to write home about. They have other food options that I will have to try sometime. We had the place almost to ourselves, so we were able to talk about personal subjects without worry about being overheard. B tested this theory by improvising a conversation about an imaginary criminal enterprise. No one called the cops. The muffin and the coffee were just enough to take the edge off and get us thinking about dinner. We came up with a nice plan and headed off to the...

If you'd asked Saturday I would have given it 5 stars, but then I went back Sunday. I hadn't been in this place for years, but if I remember right, there used to be a staff. Both times I went in this weekend it seemed there was only one person working. I had a frozen yogurt smoothy, strawberry mango both times. It was perfect and I was happy, best smoothy I've found in a long time, and I love yogurt smoothies! However Sunday when my husband and I went for crepes, they were delicious, but took an unreasonable amount of time. I'm sorry get help or take the food off of the menu! We had to wait for the guy to make about a dozen drinks before he was able to start our order. They are a busy place, deservedly so, because the drinks and food are terrific! But the service leaves much...

Don’t order a dairy free coffee here if you can’t drink regular milk. I ordered an oat milk latte and the lady gave me regular milk. I took a couple sips of it and it tasted off so I asked if it was oat milk and at first she said yes then a minute later she said no it was regular milk. There was a little bit of a language barrier so I told her I can have regular milk and asked if I can get another coffee with oat milk. She took it back in a matter of seconds handed it back to me she asked me, I took a sip and it tasted like oat milk for the first couple sips and then like milk again. I think she just poured oat milk on top of the regular latte she gave me. A huge bummer when you pay over $7.00 for a latte and you can’t drink it and now I have to deal with a...
