Purdy's Coffee Co

I wasn't sure I'd be able to find much of a cafe in Richmond, but this one offered both a drive-through and ample seating and a locally slanted selection of beverages and food. It's the kind of place where conversations range from talking about HBO changing its name to Max to something about "finding God".A "baked oatmeal" turned out to be a rather moist bar kind of a thing with ample fruits inside and milk and yogurt on the side. It was quite messy, but I discovered the spoon they'd given me in the bag a bit too late; I was a bit puzzled they gave it to me to go since I didn't ask for that. Their version of a chai latte was a cracking beverage full of sugar, spice, and actual tea flavor.Their wifi was a bit dodgy, and fortunately I wasn't in a hurry, but I was satisfied with what I got.

Love the look and feel of the downtown location. Awesome coffee, tea and fruit drinks and a few food options. DT location is the busier location so go early. Better pricing and drinks than you-know who. Support your local businesses!!

Cute coffee shop, lots of space inside, clean bathrooms, and great menu for drinks and munchies! They have a drink menu that changes, it was full of lavender items for spring! I had their latte with sorghum in it- it's reminiscent of molasses if you have t had sorghum before, I'd say it was an 8.5/10. My fiancé had a lavender soda, they forgot the vanilla, and he liked it a lot! The baristas were fast and friendly, and the shirts they have for sale were adorable!

Great coffee shop. We had a few big orders and everything was correct and on time. Great job by the two employees that helped put our orders together.

Food - 7/10Drink - 8/10Service - 10/10Ambiance - ?/10 I'm not a coffee person but I LOVE tea! I had their cherry rose green tea. It was good but personally I prefer a little bit more sugar in my tea. I also had a bagel and cream cheese. I gave it a 7/10 because my bagel was toasted but in a way it was soggy.

Unfortunately, many forget that Purdy's is a great place for breakfast and lunch. We stopped in today and I had the Smokehouse wrap. Pulled Chicken, Sweet Smoked BBQ Sauce, House-made Cole Slaw, and Smoked Gouda on a Whole Grain Wrap. My lovely wife had the Nana's Chicken Salad Sandwich. House-made chicken salad made with fresh apples and topped with mixed greens on French White Bread. It seemed to me to.have more greens than chicken salad (see photos). She combined both halves into only half of a sandwich -- minus the additional salad bar to have more meat on her sandwich. Both were excellent. The wrap was hot and very tasty (my go-to lunch item here). We both had kettle chips (the only chip option). Other side options are an apple or coleslaw.My only complaint is that they only provide the very small square cocktail type drink napkins and no plates. Larger napkins and an maybe an extra piece of paper that they wrap their sandwiches in to be able to lay flat on the table under my food would be nice to be able to enjoy a nice meal. Yes, I know that their main focus is coffee, but a few very inexpensive items could have greatly improved our lunch time experience. Overall a good visit, just needs a few polishing touches to be a great restaurant to dine at, and not just a popular coffee house. I'll return soon for breakfast! (With extra napkins from home) A true hometown gem. Two locations for your convenience. Well worth the trip.Richmond KY Foodie on Instagram

We had such a wonderful drive thru experience at Purdy's Coffee Co. I'm still thinking about it and smiling. The customer service was incredibly friendly and helpful to start with and who doesn't love a local coffee shop with drive thru when you're on the road?We ordered a variety of breakfast sandwiches including the turkey wrap along with a bourbon latte, chai tea and Americano. The bourbon latte was so good! Better yet, that it wasn't overly sweet. The drive thru process was swift and seamless once we figured out how to get in the traffic flow. The breakfast menu was quite extensive and fun with other sweet options like oatmeal bake and cinnamon rolls. Note that they also have a downtown location but it does not offer a drive thru (however, the facade is very charming!). Looking forward to future excuses to stop here when I'm on the road. Great work, team!

Great staff they are fast and the coffee is on point. The Kentucky Bourbon latte is amazing.

This was a fantastic coffee stop on our way from Berea to Lexington. Everyone was so friendly and the atmosphere was perfect with inspirational messages all around. I tried a honey cinnamon latte that was delicious and beautifully presented.

the atmosphere is calming. the area itself is beautiful with lots of seating. The food options are delish. The pumpkin spice latte is also very good. Customer service is great! 10/10 recommend , will be back!
