TallTravelEats list of 3 Must Try Coffee Drinks In Richmond,Virginia! Where To Find These RVA Coffee Drinks!

1. Pomona (Horchata Iced Coffee) - Pomona is a coffee and plant shop tucked away in East Richmond (close to Downtown Richmond). Upon entering Pomona, beautiful plants and a coffee aroma fill the air. An array of unique drink names cover a chalkboard inside. Right away, horchata caught my attention. Horchata is one of my favorite drinks without coffee. Horchata is made out of rice, milk, vanilla, and cinnamon. It's served in many Mexican restaurants. So, I was excited to find out Pomona had horchata iced coffee. An employee began to manually press beans before pouring espresso into a cup followed by fresh homemade horchata. The first sip put a big smile on my face. Pomona's hand pressed espresso and homemade horchata is a perfect blend! Don't take my word for it, try Pomona horchata iced coffee.

2. Lamplighter Coffee Roasters (Iced Mocha Latte) - Lamplighter has 3 locations in RVA. It's not unusual for you to see a line out the door (especially on weekends). The baristas are usually serving up a variety of coffee drinks. Lamplighter has a very social ambience. My favorite drink at Lamplighter is the iced mocha latte. This drink blends espresso and mocha together perfectly. The mocha does not overpower your espresso. If you're like me and love mocha blended in your coffee, give Lamplighter iced mocha latte a try!

3. Sefton Coffee Co (Cafe Leches) - Sefton Coffee Co is located in the heart of Downtown Richmond. Sefton has a laid back ambience. Customers are usually on their laptops or socializing. I come to Sefton specifically for their cafe leches iced coffee, which consist of espresso, choice of milk, and condensed milk. The condensed milk gives Sefton iced coffee a creamy sweet blend. I never knew how condensed milk could be such a key ingredient in iced coffee. Weekdays are the only time you can get cafe leches. Sefton Coffee Co is closed on weekends (Saturday & Sunday). If you're looking for a boost during the week, give Sefton cafe leches a try!
