Lamplighter Coffee Roasting Opens
Richmond BizSense has a neat story about Lamplighter Coffee, now operating out of a space at 116 S. Addison.
Lamplighter, too, is equipped with its own roaster. [Owner Noelle] Archibald said the shop will roast green coffee and deliver beans by the pound by bicycle to homes and businesses throughout the city.
Delivery by bike is a pretty sweet idea. And so is a weekly delivery (since freshness really matters with coffee). Although a pound/week is an awful lot of coffee. The store/cafe is open 7 days a week from 7 AM-5 PM.
Can anyone answer the most important question: Is the coffee any good?
After walking my dog maggie at the park the other day, we drove over to the Lamplighter Roasting Co. I ordered a double espresso and a drip coffee. As a coffee lover for years and as a soul who has coffee roasting experience, I was very impressed how wonderful the coffee was. Espresso had beautiful crema. I’m actually about to leave the house to take my wife and son to experience this new addition to Richmond’s local coffee scene.
