Demolition Coffee

Easily found right off of I-95 for travelers which I was and didn’t want Starbucks or some other chain. Cozy decor in old brick industrial building. Variety of baked goods and sweets in counter case; did not see gluten free offerings if that’s your thing. Only had an espresso double shot straight. The shot was pulled very well and the the mouth feel true to its intention which isn’t a given. It was better than Starbucks but could have been improved a slight bit, maybe a touch over extracted. They use Counter Culture coffee roaster out of NC which I happen to be a fan of but didn’t know this until I walked in. Staff was very friendly. Free parking lot across the street. Seems like a hidden gem if you’re into local coffee shops and especially convenient for I-95 travelers.

Great atmosphere, close to 95 but feels removed. Knowledgeable staff. A little bit of a wait for the food but it was worth it for deliciously gooey melted cheese on my wrap and a fresh fruit cup. Can't wait to come back and eat more of the menu!

Nice local coffee shop with great coffee and baked goods! They have adult and children's books you can read while you enjoy a cup of joe.

Was very disappointed to see that the seating area of sofas and table have been removed during the recent redo. This gave a real 'coffeehouse' atmosphere and was a comfortable place for reading and study. The communal table that replaced it does not have the same special atmosphere at all, and renders the interior just another tables and chairs restaurant in an area that's already experiencing a glut of restaurants. I hope the owner will reconsider this change and return Demo's 'vibe' with the more relaxed seating option. However, the menu and coffee remain excellent as always.

I couldn't wait to drink this coffee and the oatmeal was huge. I even took some home with me. Huge portions of real food made my people well don't look like they hate their jobs. Well worth the drive from Richmond.

I love supporting local businesses but I have to say, the chai latte options here are quite disappointing. They do not offer 2%, 1%, or skim milk. For this reason alone, I will keep using Starbucks instead. They also are not open in the evenings, which is when I would most like to sit and enjoy a drink with friends since we all work during the day. Demolition closes before I even get home from the office.

Great coffee spot! Always come here when in town at Fort Lee. Friendly staff and professional! Great menu and coffee selection!

Amazing place for breakfast, lunch, an early dinner or just a coffee. Great music and service with a smile. Glad they have a few vegan items. (Wish there was more). Great place for lunch with co-workers, or coffee with friends. Perfect place to get work done.

Absolutely the BEST coffee around. We brought the pups and sat outside and enjoyed our breakfast. They even brought the pups some water. If I am ever in the area again I will make sure to stop in!

Super cool environment in historical brick building. Coffee was delightful and service was friendly. Prices a bit steep, but I’d rather pay that here than at a chain. Star dock for breakfast - little options and eggs tasted like frozen cafeteria food. Come for the coffee and atmosphere, bring your own snack or meal. Plenty of parking a plus.

Best stop from DC to NC for coffee and most fresh yummy sandwiches. Great seating and vibe. Decent prices. Easy parking and quiet spot. Highly recommend the chicken salad sandwich on a warm croissant 🥐 yum!

Me and my fiancée came here for breakfast upon seeing the good reviews. We were extremely impressed. Petersburg is a very diverse place and you can run into some risky business there but this coffee shop had an excellent environment and the food was both tasty and satisfying. Would highly recommend.

Best Coffee and Coffee Shop in town! Absolutely loved the coffee here, and the food was amazing as well. Best latte coffee - there drip coffee is alright and they do not do pour over coffee.

Demolition Coffee is more than just a charming coffee shop. My coworker and I went for lunch and while the food is a little on the expensive side, it was well worth it! I got the "blow torch" sandwich, with pasta salad as a side, and the soup of the day which was a basil tomato. The flavor especially was exceptionally good and the portion sizes were very reasonable. The environment was quite pleasant in a cozy coffee house way. Overall a great experience.

I was in the area on business and saw the pistachio muffins and I had to stop by. I'm very happy that I did. The food was excellent and the coffee (double shot) was perfectly prepared. There was plenty of parking across the street and plenty of space on the inside. The decor was industrial chic and the shop itself was very clean and organized. I'd love to see a Demolition Coffee in D.C. and Baltimore!

I love checking out places that have unique names and Demolition coffee is one of those. The coffee was great, I had 2 cups of the light roast.Breakfast on the other hand was extremely disappointing. Extra extra extra crispy bacon, no options for toast, and the eggs were a peppered gray mess. I would rather support a local business over a chain any day. I think their menu is a little overpriced for the location. I paid DC prices for a cookie and a drip coffee. The atmosphere is great and I love that they have a dog friendly patio. Baked goods come from a few doors down; although my cookie was good it was an impulse buy and not a great value. I did pick up a cool sticker for a buck tho.

This coffee is delicious! We tried several different types and EVERYTHING was delicious! The staff is friendly and welcoming and the atmosphere is relaxed and fun. Kids are welcome, which is a huge plus for us, and everyone was wonderfully accommodating. We will definitely come back if we’re ever in Virginia again!

This coffee shop will make you feel right at home. It even has a cozy corner with a leather couch and coffee table.
