MAKER Richmond

Richmond's cult coffee roastery loved for house-roasted beans and cheese toasties, warts and all.

A converted industrial warehouse in a Richmond backstreet, airy and minimalist with the roaster in full view. Draws a cyclist and specialty-coffee crowd; can get lively and occasionally loud with background music.

On-site roastery with viewing windows into the roasting process, extensive filter coffee selection with grower and tasting-note details, boutique single-origin beans sold by the bag, still and sparkling water on tap.

Not tied to a national cuisine. the authenticity here is craft-based, with grower and tasting-note transparency on an in-house roasted filter menu.

Most reviewers call the coffee and roastery quality worth the price, though a few flag steep extras like paid sugar and a pricey "large" cup.
