Reviews of Richard's Coffeehouse (Coffee Shop)

Laura B (Ikantrant)

Talk about their fresh baked muffins, their mac n cheese always ready to devour, their hot Mediterranean lunch menu and let us not forget the multiple coffee choices like other! Of course to top that is the exclusive customer experience: unmatched hospitality! Thanks Sam, the man!

Scott Russell

Lovely little coffee shop. Ask for their cappuccino, it’s the best!

Rachel Thomas

The morning breakfast was amazing along with great friendly service.

Connor Allen

Owner is vert rude coffee is quite terrible would not recommend this place

Gordon Reeves

Coffee tasted like hot water. Muffin was like two giant gummies wrestling in my mouth. Mediocre overall but if you believed the rest of the reviews on here you would think the Queen of England ate here. Also the prices on the menus displayed in this app are VERY outdated.

The End

Delicious pastries! I especially recommend the spinach roll, made with puff pastry dough. ????

Rob Whaley

Incredible service and food. The music was fun too

Anna M.

The service was exceptionally slow and we were the only customers at that time, we ordered two drinks and a cookie and a baklava but for some reason it took so long. The cookie was cold and I wasn’t a fan of the baklava but that could be due to personal preference/taste. There was also someone behind the counter vaping inside.

Treats for very well loving my breakfast

Great breakfast

We were from out of town and we found Richard's Coffeehouse to be very friendly and welcoming. We loved the atmosphere and enjoyed the selection of music that was playing in the background. I was thrilled to get a latte on that chilly day. My only complaint was the mushroom soup - it had no mushrooms whatsoever. It was more like a hot cream soup with no recognizable flavour and topped with dried parsley flakes.

The salted carmel scone was delicious!!

Rebecca Happy

Went in with a friend after going to the night market.. a bit late and very thirsty and hungry. What a nice place. Welcoming and the food was great.. and different from every other place. Hot chocolate yumm! Sam did not even rush us out when we stayed til the end. Both of us will be back for sure.

Eric Vice

Pastries are good, small size coffee is too little. Good music, nice environment. Freshly made omelettes and reasonable prices.

Mackenzie Richards

Great coffee and bakes were fresh. Service good.

Iqra Jalal

Lovely place, great coffee! They even had a kosher meat option- which means people looking for halal sandwich can also have it.

TRANSbundu AFRICA

Great place to relax, have a cup or two and watch the world go by. Some very nice cakes and muffins, sandwiches are also available, reasonably priced.

Alisha Wilson

Wife and I stopped by for a coffee and desert. Service was friendly and classy. Coffee was good and my muffin and the wifes butter tart was very good also. A very rare pleasant experience. Thank you

Isaac

Great little restaurant. We tried the baked goods, absolutely amazing! I entered for a croissant and went out with 30 dollars in baked goods. Lots of choices, including keto--no sugar--options (my toddler adored them), and also I believe they have gluten and lactose free. Great attention, the owner/server was super friendly. They also have great phrases pasted on the walls, I enjoyed a lot the atmosphere. Definitely a must when you stop in 1,000 islands.

Bill Ault

Coolest coffee shop ever. Came there today around 6:30pm for dinner. Easy to get to and also order some food. It was soo good and the staff are the nicest people especially the man who works there. great coffeehouse . Coolest one I've ever been too.

Bruce Dolan

Great coffee, tea and baked goods!

Brad MacEachern

A nice atmosphere overall. However when the staff decides they want to watch Netflix when they have visitors inside enjoying their coffee and reading it's not really nice. And it's not just Netflix on Laptop, it's on a big screen with a pretty comprehensive sound system. Even earphones to the max volume don't help. The food and coffee are delicious though. I tried their cream of vegetables soup and it was great. Their cinnamon rolls area amazing. All the pastry is home made and is delicious. If only staff was a bit more subtle when they didn't want visitors inside. I'm only in town for 3 days and was so in love in the place in my first day that I wanted to have my coffee and lunch here for the other two days. This won't happen now, I would rather go get my coffee and lunch some place else.

Bryce Dymond

Nice people and fresh food. Chilli was ???? yummy!

E. Gomez_

Always a must stop location, where passing through Brockville... Seasonal Latté are always the best at Richard's Coffeehouse. Thanks Sam!

Karen Warren

This was not a good spot, overpriced very little in terms of substance or consistency the baked goods were possible but everything else was mediocre unfortunately.

Imad Boutros

Good local spot and nice people. Very casual atmosphere a bit like a greasy spoon diner from the 90s mixed with a Montreal deli mixed with an espresso bar. The food is good with plenty of options and the coffee is good, flavored coffees are the right level of sweet not like you're drinking candy like a Starbucks.

Marc

Thank you for another yummy Sunday night dinner. The roast chicken was moist. Lovely potatos and the crack corn muffins wow.

Dave Tse

Perfect little place for a great cup of espresso, the old-fashioned style, not the press button SB kind of machine. Lots of delicious baked goods, and great service.

Rahul Kesarkar

Heading to Toronto from Ottawa and need a taste of some amazing brewed coffee here you go. Beautiful place amazing staff and mind blowing coffee, right combination ain’t it?! Definitely a must try in Brockville. Tell you what but a coffee and walk down the road to the beach, best feeling ever.

Johanne Cleroux-Beaupre

Best late and I've ever had outside. Being a picky coffee drinker, I usually don't expect 'great coffee' from street cafe. But I was very happy with 'lavender late', as well as matcha late which my daughter ordered.

Tim Hawkins

Love the coffee and muffins are so good definitely go back .staff are very nice to????

Chadd Kirkby (EhCasualCanadian)

I like it and have been there a lot. Their baked goods are excellent. I have had their yummy smoked meat sandwiches. I particularly enjoy their baked mac and cheese, presented as a large muffin. Note that this is a coffee house in the true sense and not a fast food joint. Be patient, and you will be richly rewarded.

Johanna Roach

Lovely atmosphere, pleasant staff, great coffee and wonderful chocolate cake!!

Ron MacDonald

Great coffee and muffins friendly staff

Jean Paquet

Great coffee and freshly baked muffins and pastries. Highly recommended

Guy Boone

Loved stopping at Richard's on our way to MTL for a delicious meal and good coffee. Friendly staff, clean restaurant and washrooms, and they recommended a beautiful destination to see in Brookville but will leave that as a surprise for you own visit.

Benoit Orphanos

Comfy, cozy, great hot chocolate and friendly staff

Ralf Winter

Pretty nice place. Warm and tasty breakfast and a very affordable price. Quick and great service

Scott Primeau

Wonderful place to go grab a cup of coffee. You can see St Lawrence River from a seat by the window. Lovely view of all the historical buildings while being inside one. The decor is nice with wallpaper created from vintage magazines which are interesting to look at. There is often musical entertainment. A good place to go in Brockville on a Sunday afternoon.

Lydia Workman

Lovely little spot. Excellent chai latte.

Michel G

What a gem of a coffee shop!!. It reminded me so much of my days in France. All the yummy treats are homemade including my to die for smoked meat sandwhich. I had the best hot chocolate of my life. The service was excellent with rhe owner g8ving me samples of coffee to help me find The perfect coffee bean to take home. He even let us stay past closing to allow my friends and I to catch up during these covid times The place was spotless and they adhered to the provincial health guidelines. I felt completely safe. I will definitely go back again. Fab place indeed.

Simeon Drakich

Lovely place, friendly service, fresh pastries and well brewed coffee. Thanks!

Andy MacDonald

I was looking forward to visiting Richard's, having heard they have "great baklava". I picked some up to go and didn't realize until I got home that the baklava was very stale - it tastes a month old. Worse, there were no prices marked so I didn't know until I paid that it was $25. Disappointed.

Sabine Hedi

Stopped for a bite to eat and everything was delicious.

Sveta Shvedenkova

Great coffee, great breakfast sandwich! We'll be back.

Judy Bryant

The guy with the cowboy hat is great! The food, pastries, and drinks were really good!

Erik Prashaw

We chose Richard’s from the list of options available for the River of Lights food partners. So glad we did. Great service with hot, hot chai and matcha , delish choice of any dessert and tasty savory bread/bun and best-ever Mac and cheese…baked in a large muffin paper! You won’t be disappointed!

Gloria K

Good coffee, good cooking, good people,= very good place!

Didi “Qamar” The Human

Nice place for a coffee and a sandwich. Great atmosphere for a quiet conversation

Sam Cowan

Sam is very kind and friendly. They have a good selection of food and drinks that we enjoy very much!

Derry Williams

Delicious coffee and muffins. Can't beat the coffee and muffin special.

David Thompson

Friendly staff and lovely ambiance but, our affogatos weren’t made right. There was less than half scoop of vanilla ice cream floating on top of a small cup of coffee with syrup instead of a single or double shot of espresso. A coffee house should know how to make coffees! There were no labels and prices for the cakes and pastries. Not gonna come back.

Sabrina S.

Today was the first time I’ve been to Richards Coffeehouse. Food was amazing, customer service was great. Very cozy little place. I would recommend this place to anyone! Definitely will be back again! :)

DJ Fedora

My sister & I used to take frequent walks here! We stopped for a long time because I unfortunately had medical issues and could only eat/drink certain things. However when I did go, everyone was amazing and food was SO good! I plan on coming back soon :) thank you

Pierre Roy

Verry cute coffee shop in the oldest building in Brockville. Beautiful heritage site with a lot of history. Live entertainment every Monday night from 4-8pm, Irish singing group first and third Sunday of every month from 2-4pm.

This morning, I had a puff pastry filled with spinach and feta cheese. It had just come out of the oven and was absolutely delicious. Beautiful pastry. A great treat.

Perry Prete

If u want an old style coffee house instead of the pre Fab institutional generic cookie cutter shops, try this place. It's quirky with take that wobble, mismatched chairs and good food. Two things. Prices are much higher than chains and we found the serving size a tad small if not delicious. So why did I give it a five star rating despite the price and serving size, the staff were friendly and so nice.

Fabio Ruiz

Absolutely in love with this cute Cafe! It has delicious drinks, food, and yummy baked treats ???? Definitely a must try. I recommend the chai latte with a shot of French vanilla.

Stephanie Tan

Excellent Montreal Style Smoked Meat sandwich and home made pastry and pecan pie.

Stevie-Leigh Barnby

Lovely place with tasty treats and wide variety of beverages.

I popped into Richard's after a performance at Brockville Arts Center. It's very conveniently located right across from there and is open till 10pm. I got a cappuccino and a strawberry cream cheese Danish/strudel. Both of which were quite good. The pastry was flaky and the filling was plentiful and not dried up. The cappuccino does have cinnamon sprinkled across the top. So if your not a fan of cinnamon be sure to let them know. I myself prefer a light dusting of Cocoa as I find the cinnamon overpowers the coffee. But each to his own. They have lots of pastries in hand as well as what's on the menu I posted a pic of. However, they don't have prices posted of the pastries in the dessert cabinet. The staff is quite friendly if a little hurried. Overall a nice cozy place. Busy on a Monday @11:45.

Penny Buck

Great spot for some delicious Middle Eastern food served in a cozy setting in downtown Brockville. Serves hot food and desserts - The cinnamon buns are excellent. The service is warm and friendly. Definitely worth a visit.

Yassin Wissal

Stopped in here to get out of the rain. They claimed to make the best hot chocolate which was backed up with some amazing hot chocolate. This place is friendly and inviting.

Anisa Lancione

This is apparently a Philly Cheese steak sandwich... Only reason I'm giving it 3 stars and not 1 is because I didn't end up paying for it. Can you blame me for complaining?

Steve Barrett

It was very well organized he had plexiglass Shields around every table there was live entertainment and there was plexiglass around the entertainment I just felt very secure in my own bubble

Virginia Burton

My Mom and I stopped in at Richards for the first time to have some breakfast. We were instantly welcomed into a warm atmosphere that had been retrofitted with Plexi Glass between tables, in an effort to keep customers distanced and safe during the Pandemic. The staff were friendly and engaged us in conversation. We didn't know what to order because there were so many delicious choices on display, so we bought a variety of items, some for breakfast and some for later. Everything was scrumptious but our favorites were the fresh out of the oven croissant, the omelette bagel and the corn and cranberry lemon muffins! One of the staff, Alex, walked over to us and asked if we would like to "taste test" a new ice cream flavor and at 915am we were thrilled to oblige! To our surprise we were delivered two full cones. Overall it was a great experience and we look forward to foing back.
