Nestled in the heart of Richmond, Virginia’s Southside, Brewer’s Café is an award-winning coffee shop owned and operated by Ajay Brewer, his wife Joy, and their three sons — Parker, Cairo, and Juice. Built on community and culture, Brewer’s mission is ambitious yet simple: to serve an exceptional cup of coffee, every time. Partnering with Red Rooster Coffee Roaster in Floyd, Virginia, they source bold, complex beans that are always ethically and sustainably grown. The passionate Brew Crew turns these premium beans into a truly uncompromising coffee experience.
The menu boasts made-to-order sandwiches like the signature Brewer’s Club — stacked with fresh turkey, Virginia ham, thick-cut bacon, and Sriracha mayo on toasted potato bread. Local sweets from The Treat Shop, Poor Georgie’s Bake Shoppe & Cupcakery, a selection of Virginia craft beers, and over 25 different whiskeys round out the offerings. Ajay, a Rubik’s Cube master known for thinking several moves ahead, has dreams of seeing Brewer’s Cafés throughout the city. But for now, his heart is in Manchester, where he’s deeply committed to contributing to the neighborhood’s growth — not just for his family, but for the city that raised him.
