Shockoe Slip Tours

In the heart of Richmond is a great coffee house and restaurant. The Urban Farmhouse has great breakfasts and very good espresso drinks (the large latte comes with 4 shots as it should). Wifi and plenty of tables to get comfortable with big windows providing a nice view of old Richmond. It's right across the street from La Grotta Ristorante a good Italian restaurant for later in the night. A definite stop when in Richmond Va.

Great shop with very good coffee right on the middle of downtown Richmond they also have really good food as well as a local selection if wines. Awesome start to the day.

8.4/10 Very Good! (1,395 reviews)
The AC was super noisy. Only one elevator working, I had to wait really long several time. I ordered a breakfast sandwich explaining I need it in 10 minutes. She told me ok and 15 minutes later it wasn’t here and I had to leave with my client coming to pick me up. A person came to the car and ask me to take it king of aggressively “seriously? take it dude” while I canceled the order at the counter politely before leaving. The sandwich was cold in the center, almost like frozen… couldn’t eat it

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Go to The Tobacco Company. Best spot in the slip. Great food and great music

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Due to the cobblestone streets and brick sidewalks, proper foot ware is important. The sidewalk is also uneven in spots.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

Boat "cruise" downtown not that great. Too much traffic. Hard to get to. Parking hard to find and expensive!
