"Stopped in for the first time last week and I may have found my new go-to coffee shop! Staff were kind, and the atmosphere was bright and inviting. My drink was strong and flavorful and the coffee cake was amazing—tasted like a warm, buttery cinnamon roll. There’s a good amount of seating with booths, chairs, and a couch. My table had a vase of fresh flowers on it, which was a really nice touch. Prices were comparable to most other Richmond coffee shops. I’ll definitely be back soon."

"Took one bite out of the coffee cake and I HAD to write a review. Cute little coffee spot less than 5 mins away from the Richmond Science Museum/Children's Museum. Branding and indoor decor is clean and fresh. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I ordered their seasonal horchata iced latte, a basic vanilla latte, and their coffee cake. Everything was so delicious. Basically inhaled the cake and their coffee was perfectly sweetened. I don't like overly sweet drinks and I didn't have to change a thing with these lattes. 1000% would recommend and plan on coming back whenever we come visit the area!"

"(Pics feature their store after closing for the day) My friend and I had a wonderful 1st experience! I was brave and tried a hand made syrup (white chocolate mocha) and it was more delicious then I expected, and really enjoyed sipping on it while visiting with a friend. We felt very comfortable in the clean and beautiful environment, although I know it will be even more lovely after the official opening. What a wonderful addition to Richmond! A place that is not only delicious (roasts their own beans), but friendly, knowledgeable, has handmade coffee syrups, and a place I would be comfortable bringing my kids to. Thank you, Parousia, we will be back! "

"Visited Richmond for a solo trip and this spot was my number 1 stop!! Loved it entirely. Beautiful interiors, ambiance is amazing. And probably the best latte i’ve us in a whiileeeeeee. From a visitor, trust i’ll be back!"

"The banana milk latte at Parousia is next level, so good it honestly NEEDS to stay on the menu 😩🍌☕️. Perfectly balanced, creamy, and just the right amount of sweetness. The vibe here is unmatched, cutest coffee shop with cozy, aesthetic touches, and the service is absolutely immaculate. 10/10 will be dreaming about this drink until my next visit"
