Butter Beans

You're walking down Kew Road on a Saturday morning and the smell of good espresso pulls you in. Butter Beans is exactly what Richmond needs—unfussy, genuinely welcoming, and run by people who actually care about what they're serving. The space is small and bright, the kind of place where regulars genuinely chat with strangers at the counter, and the coffee hits different because they actually know what they're doing. Food-wise, they're not trying to be Instagram bait; just properly executed brunch that tastes like someone's made it for you rather than at you.
