Today is Opening Day at Riverbend Coffee (formerly Captain Buzzy’s)! Yesterday, August 11th, we got an invite to a soft opening at the new Riverbend Coffee and we got to officially meet the new proprietors Brian and Tasha.
We were happy to see that they’ve maintained some awesome traditions like coffee ice cubes in their cold drinks. Prices were reasonable and the staff was friendly.
Bagels! 
Brian and Tasha 
Menu
We had an iced latte and iced mocha. Both were fantastic. We also got to sample some baked goods which were very satisfying.
They’re still working out a few kinks in the system so please be patient with them but definitely drop on by and meet the new proprietors!

~this gave me happy tears~ <3
It’s finally clean, right?
Definitely clean! Check it out. I think it will be a cool old/new space the neighborhood will love.
Absolutely. The new owners have taken meticulous care to make sure that everything is spotless AND meets all health and building codes. Check it out!
Then it will be 10 steps up from the prior gross establishment.
Yay!!!
Jacob C. With Brian and Tasha running the ship there will be no doubt about it being clean, and staying clean! Check it out for yourself!
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh hello.
Where are you located
The address is 2623 E Broad St, Richmond, VA
I look forward to trying it out!
Sicelie sweet! Let’s go check it out Thursday or Friday
Is that Tee and Felicia I see behind the counter?!? Good to see them back!
Congrats!!
Kira Lynn we need to go!
Congratulations, I will definitely stop by to try the ice coffee.
Thanks everybody for the kind words! We want this spot to become what it should have been all along, a happy place where everybody can leave with a smile. We will make every effort to get that smile. If you come in and have a good experience, that’s awesome. If you come in and for some reason don’t have a good experience, don’t be shy. I have thick skin! We (Tasha and I) openly admit that we don’t really know what we’re doing, but we wanted to give it a shot and we are absolutely open to constructive criticism.
Thanks Brian for your response! We have stopped by and were so happy to see T! That said, I hope everyone gives Brian and Tasha a chance to work the kinks out too before the finding of the faults. I was happy to see the open space, the “open” windows, the mural is lovely (who did that BTW?) and I look forward to spending some time up there just enjoying a cup of coffee and seeing our Church Hill neighbors!
A soft serve ice cream machine would truly elevate this place and would make us come back over and over!! Even just having plain vanilla cones would be fantastic.
Nice to see the place looking so good.
