Rostov's Coffee & Tea

Rostov's Coffee & Tea has roasted coffee and sold loose-leaf tea in Richmond since 1979. It's family-owned, led by Tammy Rostov, with an antique roaster still in use. It's mostly a retail shop, with a few tables inside and out.

There are lots of roasts, light to dark, and the Mexican is a favorite. Bags are a full pound, ground to order. The tea selection in back is big, and they sell brewing gear, mugs and gifts. There's an online shop, subscriptions and a loyalty program that earns you free pounds.
