821 Cafe - Richm

Went in to order for pickup. There is no clear indicator where you place your order, so I looked a little lost until a waitress asked if I was ready to put in my order. 25 minutes isn't bad, especially during lunch. Got the food, stomach is rumbling. At first glance the pancakes my wife ordered, which we paid $1 each for blueberries, strawberries, bananas, and chocolate chips to be in it looked a little short... decided we'd check out the food at home. Boy, what a mistake. I've never had a Philly cheesesteak that I didn't want to finish. The pancakes were soggy and distasteful, and the $1 of banana was 3 thin slices, the $1 of blueberries may have been 8-10, and there had been one strawberry chopped up. Also I hope you like paying $3.50 for a small juice that is only filled up halfway in the cup. Never eating here again, worst $50 we've spent in a while.

We ate here every morning on our anniversary trip to Richmond. 10/10 would HIGHLY recommend

A local gem with so many vegan options and super friendly and responsive staff. I have had a blast trying all the vegan options, and blueberry pancakes are my favorite.

My husband and I went there for lunch and was told we couldn't wait inside until a table was cleaned off. They told us we could wait on the patio in 95 degree weather that feels like 102. Horrible service!!!

Service and atmosphere was great but the food was pretty below average. Was very excited about the friend chicken but it turned out to be very chewy. The other dish was Philly Billy, that one was nicer and a bit above average. Mainly the price was really high for the food served and the portion sizes of the different aspects of food were weirdly disproportionate.
