"Had breakfast at Gold Lion Café around 10:30 on a Saturday, and the place had such a great vibe. A writing group was quietly meeting, most of the other tables were full, and it felt lively but still calm and welcoming. I ordered an egg and cheese with tempeh bacon, a side of tots, and a warm, wonderful latte. Everything was delicious. The service was incredibly warm and friendly. Gold Lion Café is a true community business. You can feel the care, kindness, and intention the moment you walk in. Highly recommend."

"Very glad we found this place! The space is very cool and comfortable. Fun that it was fully set up from Halloween. The people working were warm and friendly. The food was absolutely delicious. I think there was only one person working in the kitchen, maybe, because my food came out about 15-20 minutes before my partners food. I look forward to going back and can't wait to try more of the menu!"

"Gold Lion Community Cafe is one of the most beautiful spots in Richmond. From the decor, to the art, the food, and the staff, every bit of it was a phenomenal experience. The cocktails were creative and delicious, and I would come back for the panipuri alone. The owner is such a beautiful human being who has such a wonderful passion for caring for the community. Can't wait to visit again!"

"Gold Lion is our new favorite spot! The menu is about equal parts standard American and Indian. So many good vegan options and hands down the BEST matcha lattes I’ve found in this city. BEST vegan buffalo wings too. I love the guava gold smoothie. Great chickn and waffles. The service is always kind and parking is never too hard to find in the area."

"I can in the morning. Didn’t realize there was a live show - I think it was called breakfast cabaret. Well, it was good music in good entertainment. I wasn’t expecting all of that so it was very busy and distracting because I came there to read, grab a bite and have some warm beverages. I will definitely go back and do recommend. But important to be mindful of the time and the goings on if you have something particular in mind."
