"Very solid coffee. Cool cozy vibe, I feel like this shop has a different feel compared to other coffee shops in the area—maybe a more polished/artsy lamplighter? I don’t think the connected shop really adds anything to the experience but I also don’t think it detracts. Pretty small space though so I probably wouldn’t come with a big group!"

"If you take coffee seriously - don’t miss this absolute gem. This review is far overdue - I first stumbled across Paix a few years back when they were a pop up cart. They surprised me with the quality of coffee, service, and knowledge from day one, and they’ve grown exponentially since! As a self proclaimed coffee nerd, I’d stack their coffee against some of the top coffee shops in the country (I travel a lot so this isn’t just blowing hot air). The caliber and selection of coffee they sling is shocking. On top of this, their cafe space is beautiful and owns a unique vibe - the crowning jewel being their custom lever espresso machine. Each time I visit, Dan or Seth excitedly tell me about what’s on rotation and what new roast they’re going to have dropping. This is a singular coffee experience that is enjoyable to the coffee novice or the connoisseur."

"My favorite coffee of all time. Their espresso based drinks, specifically the traditional options without added sugar (cortado, cappucino etc) are simply the best I've ever had. Their specialty beans are incredibly flavorful and unique. The process and sourcing is very impressive. You can tell they take their craft seriously. This is not a trendy, sugar bomb latte type of joint. If you are looking for that you will be disappointed. This place is for actual coffee enthusiasts / people that want to actually taste the coffee. The shop itself is nice, though a bit cramped and can be hard to find seating due to its popularity."

"What a cool spot! The inside is small, but cozy. Decorated with old church signs and paintings, Paix Coffee displays their simple menu by the register. I enjoyed their seasonal latte- honey cardamom in January 2025. Next door and attached to Paix Coffee is a fun clothing store with a couch and bar seating. Outside if a mural by NILS, one of RVA's best muralists."

"Paix is a true standout in Richmond’s coffee scene. The espresso is consistently excellent, and the space has such an inviting, thoughtful vibe. I’m especially appreciating all the new seating! And the B-Side pastries/croissants? Truly the best."
