On the Grid : Lamplighter, Addison Street Café
"Housed in a former derelict gas station, Lamplighter didn’t just help usher coffee culture to Richmond, it planted a seed of vibrancy in an overlooked corner of the city. The baristas are that winning trifecta of talented, knowledgable, and approachable as they serve up pourovers, lavender lattes, and cold brew by the gallon. The kitchen is just as welcoming, with sandwiches, salads, and sweet stuff for all types of eaters (even those with allergies). Now a fast-growing empire with multiple locations, Lamplighter was one of the first to turn hundreds of Richmonders into coffee connoisseurs." - Mobelux
